Female Therapists in Westworth Village, TX

In my 27+ year career, I enjoy developing therapeutic relationships with my clients and helping them figure out what needs to change and how to most effectively, and efficiently do this. People are resilient and often know what needs to be done, but could use help identifying the steps and having non-judgemental support in carrying them out. I love people and I love my job. Let me help you figure it out.

Do you feel overwhelmed – work, relationships, and health exhausting your resources? Is anxiety, depression, or grief diminishing your spark?

My name is Julie Sheppard. I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker. I have been in private practice since 1999.

Are there times when you feel alone? Have you experienced periods of sadness and frustration while attempting to do your best each day? Are you taking care of others and paying attention to your needs last? Are you struggling to make life changing decisions? Are you dealing with difficult relationships, stress, depression, anxiety or trauma? Sometimes you can feel uncomfortable opening up to the people closest to you. Did you know that talking to a therapist can feel as comfortable as chatting with a close friend?

I provide an accepting and compassionate space where clients can explore issues that may be keeping them from living the lives they want. Depression, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, life-transitions, and grief are some of the concerns clients bring to our sessions. We all have the capacity to heal and sometimes simply need the support of another along the way. Sessions are collaborative and individualized, working together to achieve the goals you bring to therapy.

Life is all about actions and reactions. Often we do not realize how our actions, or lack thereof, affect our situational outcomes. My name is Michelle Roberson, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor, who aims to walk this path with you and explore your many possibilities. Sometimes we search to define who we are and where we fit on this journey called life. There are many roads to take and for the last five years, I've enjoyed working with a variety of individuals and families, focused on identifying the right road, learning healthy techniques, and practical ways to cope with life challenges.

My goal is to help those who want to improve their lives through counseling. In order to accomplish this, it is important to create a safe and open environment that is collaborative between client and therapist. I believe in providing a welcoming environment for clients to be able to express themselves authentically with no fear of judgement. Working collaboratively with clients helps the therapist and client be able to recognize thoughts, emotions and behaviors and how each one can contribute to one another. Therapy is about the relationship between the client and the therapist.
