Book 50+ of the best therapists in Texas

I’m Dr. Ward, and I help people who are tired of pretending they’re okay when they’re not. My clients are strong, capable, and deeply overwhelmed—managing marriages that feel distant, kids who need more than they can give, and the weight of everyone else’s needs on their shoulders. I work with women and couples who are running on empty but still showing up every day, quietly asking, “What about me?” In therapy, we make space for you. We untangle the pressure, the silence, the self-doubt—and we start telling the truth. Not just about what’s going wrong, but about what you want, what you deserve, and how to stop shrinking to survive. My work is honest, direct, deeply compassionate, and always rooted in helping you feel like yourself again—not the version of you that’s just barely holding it together.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor based in AZ. I also hold licenses in MI, PA and TX. I graduated from Messiah University with a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and have been working in the field for 8 years. I really enjoy working with couples and families, but am always humbled and honored to walk through a challenging time with any client(s).
