Therapists near me in Fort Worth, TX

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.

With over 25 years of experience as a counselor, mentor, and coach, I’ve had the privilege of empowering clients from all walks of life. From supporting traumatized child soldiers in Liberia to helping newlyweds in the United States rebuild connection, each person I’ve worked with has shaped me into the clinician I am today. I work with clients facing a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, and family conflict. My deepest passion is helping people step into the fullest, healthiest version of themselves. There is nothing more meaningful to me than watching someone release long held wounds, rewrite old narratives, and reclaim the life they were meant to live. My therapeutic style blends the warmth and unconditional positive regard of Client Centered Therapy with the practical, results oriented tools of EMDR (trauma-focused) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I believe therapy should create real change, not just conversation. You can expect a collaborative, active process — one where you’re supported, challenged, and encouraged to grow. I often provide homework between session assignments so you can continue making progress outside the therapy room. No one wants to stay stuck longer than they have to. I’m proud of you for taking this step toward a better life. Change can feel intimidating, but it can also be exciting, empowering, and deeply rewarding. I look forward to walking this journey with you.

Hello! I am a Bilingual licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Texas. I received my master's from the University of Texas- Arlington and have been practicing for four years. I specialize in individual counseling only. I help adults struggling with anxiety, depression, and stress manage their symptoms and navigate life. By providing a new perspective and helping them gain insight, I facilitate meaningful change. I've worked with a variety of diagnoses and enjoy the process of helping clients achieve their goals and become the best version of themselves. **Please Note: I specialize in individual therapy and do not offer couples/family counseling at this time.**

After graduating from college with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, I earned a Master’s Degree in Social Work with a Micro Social Work concentration, followed by passing the Texas state board exam granting me a license to practice as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have worked with individuals and families for over 25 years. My first post graduation position was Director of Child & Adolescent Unit at Intracare Psychiatric Hospital, followed by Director of Adoption Access, then Lead Therapist at St. Joseph's Hospital Adult Unit, and other agency and hospital positions scanning a 20 year period. My professional focus has always been to work with individuals, families and children in need of support, guidance and resources.

I believe therapy is meant to be a space of mutual collaboration, help work towards and help understand those aspects of your life that motivated you to seek guidance. I believe that each situation is unique, just like the individuals involved. I embrace multiple modalities that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Self-Compassion. I thus embrace a client-centric approach of unconditional positive regard where the goal is for you to embrace your inner strength, leading to your desired clinical outcomes. You may be someone who appears strong and capable on the outside while privately carrying stress, trauma, anxiety, relationship difficulties, or the pressure of always having to hold everything together. I work with adults of all genders, and over the years, I have gained extensive experience helping men address the concerns that often matter most to them. My work with men includes navigating relationship and communication difficulties, divorce or separation, fatherhood, work-related stress, anger, emotional isolation, loss of identity, depression, anxiety, trauma, and the pressure to remain strong while struggling internally. I understand that many men have been taught to suppress vulnerability or solve problems alone. Therapy with me is practical, respectful, and judgment-free—a place where you can speak honestly without feeling criticized or misunderstood. As a South Asian therapist, I also understand how culture, family expectations, identity, immigration experiences, and intergenerational patterns can influence mental health. I welcome South Asian clients, veterans, active-duty service members, and individuals coping with PTSD, military-related experiences, major life transitions, and relationship concerns. My approach is warm, direct, culturally responsive, and focused on meaningful change. Together, we will understand the patterns keeping you stuck, strengthen your coping and communication skills, and help you move forward with greater confidence, peace, and clarity. You do not have to navigate everything alone.

Dear Prospective Clients, MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING FOR MIND RENEWAL I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), National Certified Counselor (NCC) in the State of Texas and Washington, a Board-Certified Counselor (BCCC) recognized by the National Association of Christian Counselors (NACC). I started out as a Teacher in Inner and Outer London schools in the United Kingdom working with children, adolescents, and their families. I have worked with clients from all walks of life, including clients from all faith/no faith background comprising of children, adolescents, adults, and their families. I am very passionate about Counseling, and I believe that I can help the needy to stand strong and work towards gaining a sober/sound mind. This is achievable via entering into a therapeutic partnership as iron begins to sharpen iron according to the Christian word of faith. This is based on the believe that every human being is loaded with unique strength and potentials, and as we work together, those dormant strength and potentials will be reactivated and unleashed to enable my client to reach his/her desired goals.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Texas. My counseling approach utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused Brief Therapy. I am a firm believer that thoughts drive our actions. If we effectively manage our thoughts, our desired outcome will manifest in our actions. I am passionate about establishing a therapeutic relationship with my clients that is mutually beneficial and welcoming.

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.

Hi there, I am Carlos. Do you feel pulled in a million directions, unable to fit it all in? Are you struggling to keep up with your relationships, work and mental health? Do you find it difficult to make time for yourself to heal? I help people to effectively navigate through different life challenges. Together, we can get you back on track to living a healthier life. While most counselors have degrees in counseling, my degree is in Clinical Psychology. This means that I also specialize in human development, health, clinical issues, social behavior, and cognitive processes. Whether you're dealing with overwhelming relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. It takes courage to seek assistance with addressing personal issues and taking the first steps towards making a change. If you are ready to take that first step, I am here to support and assist you.

Hi, I’m Jaelah, and I work with individuals who are ready to embrace their journey toward growth and authenticity. I serve clients from diverse backgrounds—especially BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities—navigating life transitions, anxiety, or identity exploration. My approach is collaborative, empowering you with practical tools like CBT, mindfulness, and culturally sensitive care. The impact? Together, we’ll build your self-awareness, resilience, and clarity—so you can confidently live a life aligned with your values and purpose.

I utilize a holistic, existential approach that can help individuals find balance in the face of traumatic, transformative experiences, helping them find meaning and a fulfilling self-purpose in a client-centered environment. In my approach based on IFS modality, all parts are welcome. I will provide an environment to practice listening to all parts and integrate to reach a more self direct internal system.

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.

Hi there, I'm Tonya. Do you feel like you need someone to talk to but feel like no one understands you? Carl Rogers said, “We think we listen, but very rarely do we listen with real understanding, true empathy. I am committed to creating a space where the client feels seen and heard. I have a unique counseling style that allows clients to quickly engage in the therapeutic process. Helping clients find a deeper understanding of themselves is my focus. I guide the client through their journey of self-awareness with cognitive restructuring combined with a person-centered approach. Do you feel overwhelmed and mentally depleted? Our thoughts, emotions, and behavior are guided by our internal compass. Sometimes we need to check our compass and make sure we are going in the right direction. This internal compass is the lens through which we see ourselves, and the world and influences our decisions. A shift in the thought process opens the door for healing and clarity of thought. I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can gain the self-awareness you need to work through your struggles and move forward with your life.

Do you find yourself constantly worrying or overthinking every possible outcome? Do you feel like you must prepare for the worst just to feel in control? Maybe you struggle with uncertainty, fear making the wrong decision, or feel like everything has to be done perfectly. Anxiety can leave you feeling restless, exhausted, and stuck in patterns that affect your sleep, your relationships, and your peace of mind. Life transitions often bring us into what can feel like “stormy waters.” As Viktor Frankl wrote, “When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.” I specialize in helping those suffering from anxiety, including health care professionals and veterans. You don't have to continue suffering. As a seasoned therapist, I can help you feel empowered to stop the cycle of worry and anxiety, find your sense of purpose, and reclaim your life. The good news is that we've all gone through seasons of our lives when we feel this way. The first step is to reach out to someone for help. My approach is straightforward: together we will identify your goals, establish a problem-solving treatment plan, and go from there. If something is telling you it's time to begin your journey; give me a call.

Hi! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas and have been practicing for 5 years. I specialize in helping individuals maximize their strength to overcome their struggles and empowering clients by equipping them with practical tools as well as strategies that foster resilience and promote lasting transformation. My therapeutic approach integrates evidence-based practices primarily Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) tailored to meet the unique needs of each client.

We're all living life for the first time. It is full of twists and turns. When we think we have it all figured out....we don't. I bring support and comfort to those difficult phases in life when we're transitioning into something new, becoming more of who we want to be. These changes can be hard and scary at times but with the right support you can navigate them. Anxiety. depressions, transitional phases, parenting, women's issues are my areas of expertise. Identifying and utilizing the strengths you already have inside of you is our first step. You have taken the first step to major life changes, finding a therapist. Now let's work together in a solution focused way to help you reach your goals and continue to grow. You don't have to navigate your challenges alone. I will be here to be a thought partner and a guide along side you. I look forward to watching you grow.

You've probably spent a long time waiting: waiting to feel ready, waiting for permission, waiting until things get "bad enough" to deserve support. That wait ends here. I'm Nicole Obih, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 8+ years of experience across inpatient, outpatient, and private practice settings. I specialize in working with BIPOC and LGBTQ+ adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and identity, especially those carrying the weight of cultural expectations, internalized shame, or the pressure to perform wellness for everyone else.
