Therapists in Dallas, TX

You matter and what you have been through matters. The pain is deep and the reality is often too difficult to face let alone overcome. So you do the thing that helps in the moment but then hurts later, bringing in shame and guilt, self-doubt and anger. You do not have to go through this alone. There is so much life you have to live in front of you and this burden does not have to weigh you down. There is hope and help available here for you. Reach out today and stop white-knuckling through each situation or experience. Let's reduce those symptoms and cease the harm caused by unhealthy outlets and get to the root of it all.

People who are in emotional/mental and physical pain are the ideal client for the healing process. I am here only to be truly helpful to all who are seeking to live life rather than cope through life.

I have extensive experience working with people coping with different types of issues ranging from mild adjustment difficulties to chronic and severe psychosis. I have worked with clients in various treatment settings, including out-patient clinics, a university counseling center, a partial hospitalization program, nursing homes, psychiatric in-patient treatment, residential substance abuse treatment programs, and private practice. My areas of specialization include relationship issues, loss / grief, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and post-partum adjustment. In addition, I treat both individuals and couples.

My ideal client is someone with a listening ear, with the courage to reimagine his/her life. Someone with dreams and a passion to realize them... Or maybe somebody broken and lost. Someone imperfect. Because that's real. That's being human. To quote a British philosopher: "I'm not looking for somebody with some superhuman gifts, some superhero, some fairy tale bliss... I want something just like this..."

I specialize in helping couples get back to/or get to a great place.I would love to help you make your relationships- BETTER than they have ever been. I am one of the few blessed people who absolutely LOVES my career- and it shows in my dedication and my creativeness with my clients. I can help with communication, expectations and NPD (narcissistic personality disorder). Let me help you- have your best relationship. Your relationship does NOT have to be average/mediocre- let me help you have the closeness and intimacy you desire/deserve!Give me a call today!

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Is excessive worry keeping you up at night? Are you tired of making the same mistakes time and again? Life can present a host of challenges. When it does, it is important to have the support of a skilled professional who can help you navigate life's difficulties. For over 15 years, I have worked with individuals, couples, children, and families who find themselves in difficult places. My work includes helping those who experience distress from excessive worry, depression, grief, or anger.

With 14 years of experience in therapy, I truly enjoy my job. I am compassionate about helping others establish a strong foundation so they can effectively cope with current struggles as well as struggles they’ll be approached with in the future. My clients would describe me as compassionate, easy to talk to, and very understanding. I'm sensitive to the unique experiences of each individual and believe connection, trust, and understanding are essential to the therapeutic process. I value getting goals accomplished and making progress during each session.

Just as a diabetic requires insulin and a person with vision impairment needs glasses, sometimes we benefit from emotional support to boost optimal brain health and function. Counseling is a safe, collaborative opportunity for you to take personal, self-care time assessing, processing and redefining your life. Learn to build skills to improve communication, social relationships, goal setting, decision making, time management, organization, work / life balance, self-esteem and any other issues preventing you from being the most authentic, successful, fulfilled version of yourself. Sparkman Counseling & Educational Consulting, PLLC offers counseling, coaching and consulting services.

Struggling to connect with your authentic self? Looking for a sense of peace or contentment?

We work together to help you find their best self, navigate intimacy, tackle communication issues & bridge other relationships gaps. We also work together to overcome those deeper blocks that prevent us from making lasting change.

We are here to restore your hope and offer support, guidance, and understanding.

I am a Licensed Psychologist in Texas (in person & virtual sessions) & Illinois (virtual only sessions) providing short and long-term therapy to adults (ages 18 and up).

Do you often wonder if you can be happy? Do you struggle with past events in your life that you can't seem to let go of? Do you struggle with an addiction or compulsion? Are you in a relationship with someone whose behaviors have caused destruction in your life? Are you struggling to change behaviors in your life that you know are destructive? You deserve all the good that life has to offer and you don't have to achieve it alone. I am passionate about my work and want to help you.

My clients range in a variety of needs and challenges, and my experience across a diverse demographic gives me the opportunity to help people in most situations to recover, heal and overcome issues in their lives. I enjoy helping people transform their lives in both reactive and proactive ways, and look forward to helping you meet your goals.

It is my belief that psychotherapy has the best chance to be effective when the client and therapist have a strong therapeutic alliance. That is, they have a good working relationship and are working toward exactly the same goals using methods or approaches best suited for the client. I strive to achieve this by providing a warm and safe climate, listening closely to the needs of my clients, and discussing our options and strategies.

I specialize in working with adolescents, adults and couples who struggle with anxiety, depression, substance abuse, mood disorders and relationship issues. I will help you learn to cope with present stressors or process past experiences. It is important that we establish goals, and I will actively work to help you meet them. I develop personal and genuine relationships with my clients, which is helpful in developing a plan that is tailored to your individual needs.

If we are being honest, change can be a scary thing to approach. Yet I would argue that we all have areas of our lives that we would like to change or improve. Sometimes we simply want to understand ourselves better, sometimes we want to improve our relationships, and still other times we have serious concerns with our mood, anxiety, or current behavioral patterns. I use a personable, relatable approach to therapy to assist in navigating some of the discomfort inherent in the therapeutic process. This is a place of non-judgement, and I am open and accepting of all persons and identities.

We all are capable of living happy and healthy lives. Over the years, I have supported the diverse needs of my clients through the strength of the therapeutic relationship, nurturing the trust and acceptance required for positive change. I consider it an honor to embark on this journey with you, respecting your experience as it has provided a foundation for healing. I would like to help guide you in discovering personal balance and individualized self-worth, as we work to reveal the seemingly lost or hidden strengths buried within.
