Therapists near me in Dallas, TX

I am a Licenced Professional Counselor in Texas and National Certified Counselor. I have a Bachelors from the University of California, Berkeley in Social Welfare and African American Studies, a Masters in School Counseling, and a Certification in Contemporary Mental Health Issues from Capella University. I have 20 years of experience working as a mentor, a teacher, and providing guidance to youth and families.

As a first generation college graduate, I understand what it means to navigate systems, expectations, and transitions without a roadmap. My own journey shaped the heart of my work: helping adolescents and young adults who are carrying similar pressures, hopes, and responsibilities. I know the resilience it takes to succeed while balancing family dynamics, cultural identity, and the desire to create a life that feels authentic and self directed. In my practice, I use a solution focused, strengths based approach that empowers clients to identify what’s working, build on their natural abilities, and create meaningful change in their daily lives. I believe therapy should be practical, collaborative, and deeply affirming—especially for individuals who have had to figure out so much on their own. I am passionate about supporting first generation students, high achieving youth, and clients from diverse cultural backgrounds who are navigating identity development, family expectations, academic or career stress, and the pressure to “be the one who makes it.” My goal is to provide a space where clients feel seen, supported, and equipped with tools that help them move forward with steadiness and self‑trust.

I am a seasoned counselor familiar with adolescents, issues of personal development, empowerment, issues about personal power, overcoming fear, and identifying values. I value honesty, courage, self-actualization and altruism. I have worked almost exclusively with males. I see the world from a male perspective because that's the point of view I have experienced life through. I have spent years in the gym. I am a musician, and I play out somewhere every week. There are a few high-stakes, difficult life situations I want to address here: If you are afraid of your child setting a fire, trying to get a gun, or stealing from you in plain sight, reach out. If your child is being bullied, I might be able to help him to acquire the skills necessary to hold his own in life. Finally, if you or a family member is being stalked or threatened by someone, I may be able to professionally assess the danger.

Hello, I am Dr. Mario Kirk. Are you struggling with worry, sadness, fatigue, lack of motivation or grief? Are you having relationship/family problems or maybe work difficulties? I have over 20 years of experience in helping individuals to overcome these same problems. I look forward to helping you as well. I provide a judgement free, safe space for you to address whatever issues that you want improve upon. I like incorporating art, music and spirituality into our time. I believe that true recovery is dependent upon healing the mind, body and spirit alike.

Hi, I'm Shantara, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Certified Mental Health & Nutrition Clinical Specialist (CMNHS), and the founder of TEA Time Therapeutic Services LLC. I believe healing begins when we understand the connection between our Thoughts, Emotions, and Actions (T.E.A.). My goal is to provide a warm, supportive, and judgment-free space where you feel heard, challenged, and empowered to grow. My approach is collaborative, practical, and tailored to your unique needs. Using evidence-based therapies such as CBT, ACT, DBT, CPT, and Motivational Interviewing, I'll help you build healthy coping skills, gain insight, and create meaningful, lasting change. As a CMNHS, I also recognize the connection between mental and physical health, incorporating a holistic perspective when it supports your goals. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, grief, relationship challenges, or life transitions, I'm here to walk alongside you as you learn to pour back into your life.

Hello, I'm Heather, an experienced counselor providing individual, couples, and family therapy in California and Texas. With over 20 years of experience in social work and counseling, including service as a Navy veteran, I provide compassionate, client-centered care focused on helping people navigate emotional concerns, relationship difficulties, family challenges, life transitions, and personal growth. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and grounded in active listening. I strive to create a respectful, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard and supported while developing practical skills for meaningful and lasting change. In couples and family therapy, I help clients strengthen communication, navigate conflict, improve emotional connection, and better understand differing perspectives. Couples and family members do not need to be in the same location for telehealth sessions. Simply share the appointment link with the other participant, and each person can join the same session separately. I accept cash-pay clients for individual, couples, and family therapy in California and Texas. Insurance participation varies by service. I currently accept Aetna, Carelon, EAP: UAW/UMass Benefits, Sharp Health Plan, and UnitedHealthcare/Optum in California for individual therapy, and Aetna in Texas for individual therapy. These plans are not currently accepted for ongoing couples/family therapy with me through this platform. If your insurance cannot be used for the ongoing service you need, additional options may be available. When applicable, I also provide services through Cyti-Psychological, where you can inquire about continuing care with me. Visit cytipsych.com for insurance and scheduling assistance. Whether you are seeking support individually, as a couple, or as a family, I look forward to helping you work toward your goals.

I'm Brandon, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas. I work with people who look like they have it together on the outside but feel lost, empty, and exhausted on the inside. The dependable one. The one everyone leans on. You've read the books, you've tried harder, and you're still stuck in the same loops — because information is not transformation. I believe you're not broken. You're a masterpiece that got covered up, and my job is to help you uncover what's already there.

Hi, I'm Charlene. Life can be overwhelming lately. Between all our daily expectations, stressors, and obligations it can be hard to find time to just breathe. Now more than ever, I truly believe that everyone can benefit from therapy at some point in their lives. Seeking out treatment is a big step and it's important to find the right Therapist to help you. I offer treatment based on your needs and help create a plan for finding a positive mindset to facilitate the changes you're seeking. I am a bilingual Therapist who works with all age groups. I have worked with adolescents, children, and families throughout my professional career. I believe in helping rebuild relationships within families and helping each family member be the best version of themselves. I work with different types of therapy to accommodate each client's needs.

I’m a business owner, a single mom, and a foster and adoptive parent. I understand what it’s like to juggle multiple roles, carry constant responsibility, and still want to show up well for the people who matter most. One thing I say often is “work on yourself first.” It’s one of the few things we actually have control over even when we feel as though we don't, and it’s also the thing we tend to put off. We’re busy, we’re juggling everything, and before we know it, we’re stuck in patterns that feel frustrating and hard to break. No judgment here. I get it. I’ve been working with individuals and families as a therapist since 2018, with a background in healthcare prior to that, and I’ve spent my career serving the Fort Worth community I grew up in. I take a solution-focused, strengths-based approach, which means we’ll focus on what’s already working, build on your strengths, and create practical steps that actually move things forward.

Hi, I'm Melisa, a licensed professional counselor, and I'm skilled in cultivating strong, lasting relationships.

Whether you’re coping with loss, healing from painful experiences, or striving for a deeper connection within, you don’t have to go through this alone. Reaching out for support is a courageous first step toward change. I’d be honored to walk with you on your journey toward a more peaceful, authentic, and fulfilling life.

Hello, I am glad you took the time to read my biography. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who has a heart for people who are looking for empowerment and growth. I personally know what this feels like and how difficult it can be. I was blessed to have people in my life to help me during my "trying times." Honestly, I still do. I am Bi-lingual, (Spanish) and have been practicing for 13 years. I have worked with teenagers, adults, and couples. I do not work with children due to my lack of training. My experience entails working with addictions and various disorders. I believe in both therapy and medication and am cultural competent to utilize as resources. My heart is working with trauma and am certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I believe that my job is to have my clients get to the point where they are no longer needing my services. That's right, to get myself fired! I believe that we were created in the image of the Creator which means the ability to love and be loved and to have the freedom to make wise decisions which help navigate us through this journey we are on. Thank you again for reading my biography. I wish you the freedom you are looking for and believe YOU ARE WORTH IT!

Nobody comes to therapy because they need someone to tell them to “think positive.” They come because they’re tired. Tired of anxiety calling the shots. Tired of repeating the same relationship patterns. Tired of carrying things they were never meant to carry alone. Life is complicated enough. Understanding yourself shouldn’t be. My job is to help you make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface and give you practical tools you can actually use long after our sessions end. No two people are the same, so no two sessions are either. We focus on what you need most that day while never losing sight of where you’re trying to go. Some days we’ll process. Some days I’ll challenge you. Some days we’ll laugh because life has a weird sense of humor. Every session has one goal: helping you move forward. If you’re looking for a therapist who’s engaged, honest, down-to-earth, and willing to have real conversations, I think you’ll feel right at home here.

I hold a Masters Degree in Clinical Psychology and am a licensed therapist in Texas. I have been licensed since 1998. I have worked with children, adults and families. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

Life can feel overwhelming at times, whether you’re managing anxiety, navigating a major life transition, struggling in relationships, or simply feeling stuck. You don’t have to figure it out alone. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I work with adolescents and adults facing anxiety, stress, self-esteem concerns, relationship challenges, grief, ADHD, autism, and life transitions. Before becoming a therapist, I spent years as both a teacher and school counselor, giving me a unique understanding of the emotional and academic challenges that children, teens, parents, and young adults experience. I believe therapy should be a place where you feel genuinely heard without judgment. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. Together we’ll identify what’s keeping you stuck, build on your strengths, and develop tools that create lasting change. I use evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness techniques, always tailoring treatment to your individual needs. Whether you’re looking for support during a difficult season or hoping to create lasting personal growth, I’d be honored to help.

The human experience is not something that always works based on logic. Our brains are wonderful tools that can occasionally get stuck in a survival mode that leaves us feeling helpless and terrified. We can become stuck logical loops, anxious cycles, helpless before the fear of the unknown, or in a dark depression that stops us from continuing our previous goals and fun hobbies. Our past can be a reason for this. Sometimes it might be recent events at just the wrong time. It can even be a combination of small things that seemed to always shift never going away. My philosophy of treatment is to teach my clients how mind and body work so that they can make their choice in how they choose to live and interact with others. I am trained in EMDR, hypnosis, and IFS and apply all in working with PTSD, trauma, anxiety, depression and for pain management from physical illness. A person's mind is like a garden, cultivated or left to it's own devices it will always grow. When carefully tended it is a thing of beauty, but if left alone it is a mess of weeds. In understanding the thoughts and beliefs you have about the world and how you can shape them, you can learn to thrive. With a new perspective you can change everything.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of what’s next, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself. My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and grounded in curiosity. I’m not here to fix you or push an agenda—I’m here to walk alongside you as we make sense of your thoughts, feelings, and experiences together. Many of my clients wrestle with perfectionism, anxiety, or a quiet sense that something’s off, even if they can’t quite name it. Through gentle conversation and thoughtful questions, I help you uncover patterns, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and reconnect with your strengths. We’ll explore what’s working, what’s not, and how you can begin to shift toward a version of life that feels more honest, meaningful, and sustainable. Therapy doesn’t have to feel clinical or intimidating. It can feel like exhaling. Like clarity. Like finally hearing your own voice again. I look forward to meeting you.

Hi, I’m Dr. DeAnna Dotson, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Doctor of Human Services (DHS) and over seven years of experience helping adults gain clarity, regulate their emotions, and move through life with greater confidence and control.

I describe myself as a grounded, authentic, and collaborative therapist who balances a warm heart with a highly practical, real world approach to healing. I’m not the type to just sit back and nod silently; I am right there in the trenches with you, bringing my genuine, slightly nerdy self to every session, and I believe everyone has an inner resilience waiting to be unlocked! My life is full, beautifully chaotic, and deeply rewarding. As a spouse and a mother of four, including a wonderful child who is autistic, I intimately understand what it feels like to manage a million moving parts. I know the exhaustion of a racing mind, the weight of sensory and emotional overload, and the delicate art of balancing family, transitions, and personal growth. Because of these lived experiences, I bring a deeply human, judgment-free perspective to my practice. In sessions, we will use evidence-based tools like CBT and DBT to actively build a practical toolkit for your daily life. We will work as a team to quiet the internal noise, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and master concrete skills to regulate intense emotions. For clients who desire it, I gladly incorporate a Christ-centered approach, utilizing scripture and prayer as an anchor for our clinical work. However, if you are currently facing a painful crisis of faith or spiritual burnout, I offer a safe harbor to process those doubts without a shred of judgment. Ultimately, I meet you exactly where you are. My goal is to help you calm the chaos, break through emotional blocks, and reclaim your peace.
