Relationship Issues Therapists in Dallas, TX

Have you found yourself engaging in similar distressing behaviors, thought patterns, or relational dynamics despite your best efforts to change? My approach aims to address your current distress as well as work with you to investigate why this suffering is taking place to begin with. I believe unwanted behaviors, emotions, and thoughts are illustrating something about your experience that has yet to be understood. Therapy provides a relationship in which you can begin to make sense of what your suffering is saying. My hope is that in working together, you can journey towards long lasting life fulfillment instead of simply coping.

Even though your marriage is centered in Christ, you struggle with feeling frustrated, disrespected, and unloved by your partner. You’ve been worried that your spouse doesn’t care about your needs, and you’re exhausted by the nagging and fighting. There’s a longing for the days when you were able to focus at work and relax at home without your marriage issues. Temptation builds and leads to destructive behaviors. Thoughts often plague your mind that ask, “How did our marriage get this way?” Now more than ever, your relationship faces anxiety, depression, and hopelessness. You fear that breaking up is the only hope for relief.

When people experience life stressors, it’s not uncommon for life to unravel. If you feel your life is too stressful and complicated, I am here to support you. Let’s collaborate on how to bring a positive and more peaceful experience into your daily life and relationships.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, and have been in private practice for 32 years. Half of my practice is with adults. Issues addressed range from depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder and anger to relationship and family difficulties. In addition, I counsel couples marrying or divorcing. I am trained as a family mediator. The other half of my practice is with children and adolescents in individual and group therapy.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor seeing clients in person at my office in Dallas, Texas; as well as online across the state of Texas. I believe in the importance of a strong therapeutic relationship and meet each client with warmth and curiosity. So many of us go through life thinking no one else is experiencing the same things we are. The truth is, so many of us experience a range of emotions, from anxiety to sadness, to loneliness. Finding the appropriate therapist who can help you understand these emotions and properly process them can be life changing and pivotal to helping you reach your goals. I welcome all of you!

Are you overwhelmed with the demands of life? Are your high expectations of yourself and others leading to feelings of anxiety, disappointment, or burnout? Your life may be busier than you ever thought was possible. Perhaps it feels hard to keep up with all your responsibilities, or your stress is creating relational problems with your partner, friends, or family. You may not be showing up in your relationships or your work the way you want, and you’re unsure how to begin the repair. I understand! I work with women, men, and couples in their 20s-30s who are feeling overwhelmed and want to reconnect with themselves and others.

Let the Healing begin, mind, body and spirit with M.I.M Counseling & Associates. Life is a journey and sometimes on that journey there are difficulties. Are you, a loved one or your teen, struggling with depression, anxiety, substance dependence, domestic violence, relationship issues or other life challenging concerns? You do not have to be alone. I have over 20 years of experience helping others to navigate the challenges in their lives. My approach to therapy is to meet you at your current situation and work together to develop a treatment plan that will foster healing and well being, utilizing a holistic approach.

All of us find ourselves in life situations that may be overwhelming or in need of advice and support. A client/therapist relationship of mutual trust and understanding is paramount for being able to make positive changes in the areas that may not be working in your life. As a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas, I have been providing therapy to individuals and couples of all ages and from all walks of life. From depression, anxiety, relationships, trauma, grief and career issues, I am here to guide, collaborate, and assist in finding the life that you love and the life you deserve!

Anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and the endless stress of our fast paced society contribute to suffering and interfere with our ability to enjoy life. Working with couples and individuals from a mindfulness-based perspective to promote compassion, patience, and kindness is my primary goal and the approach I take in therapy. When we learn to be true to ourselves, we are better able to give to others and appreciate the abundance in our lives. My intention is to support clients in learning to honor and accept themselves.

My ideal client is ready to change, and needs someone who celebrates who they are while being patient enough to walk with them through the ups and downs of life. They need a therapist who is willing to create a safe space for them to practice and grow in vulnerability.

A relationship seldom gets better on its own, but we often “hope” that it will. Don’t wait until you loose hope to seek relationship counseling, or counseling for any other issues you may be facing. The longer you wait, the more difficult each day can become. Self-help books often generalize, and medication often fails to deal with the cause of the imbalance. With counseling, I provide a personalized examination of your issues so that you may learn how to overcome them and create a life of relationships and experiences that you will greet with great enthusiasm.

If Narcissistic Abuse, Toxic Relationships and Pathological Love Relationships are a pattern in your life or if you have experienced a Narcissistic Parent or Emotionally Immature Parent, Complex Trauma, Complex PTSD, love addiction/avoidance, codependency, infidelity, divorce or partner addiction, I can help. Do you stay in the wrong relationships too long? Do you keep picking the same type of person in relationships? Are family of origin relationships a problem? Are you an Adult Child of a dysfunctional family? Are you ready to have healthy relationships? If you answered yes to any of these, you have come to the right place.

I may not know exactly how you feel, but I understand that you want to feel differently: about yourself, about your relationship, about your life. I welcome adolescents and adults, couples, and families facing a variety of challenges including stress, depression, trauma, self-esteem, life transitions, relationship issues, anxiety, parenting, unresolved familial conflict, and the general "stuck" feeling. I believe that with my understanding of people and your understanding of you, we can work together to address these challenges.

Your life is not supposed to be like this. Maybe you work late to avoid going home. Maybe you or your partner’s affair has put your relationship in crisis. Or maybe you are facing challenges at work. You care about your relationships and career, but you find yourself exhausted, angered too easily, tired of arguments that cannot be won, and devoid of patience.

My passion is helping people cope with, learn from and overcome their unique life challenges. I offer clients expertise in short- or long-term psychotherapy, family consultation, and cognitive remediation as tools to help us identify goals and meet them through our work together. I am qualified and experienced to help adults cope with or resolve a wide range of challenges, including depression or anxiety, relationship issues, making decisions or transitions, recovering from injury or illness, working through current or past trauma, as well as diagnosing and treating various psychiatric and cognitive disorders.

Hi there, I'm Shelby! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and enjoy working with teenagers and young adults as well as couples. I am most competent in dealing with anxiety, depression, PTSD, anger, trauma, and relationship distress.

Nothing in life is one size fits all; therapy is no exception. My first priority is to establish a trusting relationship with you, then together create goals tailored to your individual needs. As humans, we tend to shy away from uncomfortable, unwanted, or overwhelming feelings/thoughts. We all develop habits to cope; sometimes those habits may no longer be helpful. In a non-judgmental and safe environment, we will work together, unlock your potential and create the change you desire. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor and fully trained in EMDR in Texas.

The decision to start therapy can be a difficult one. My honest and relatable style provides a supportive and non-judgmental atmosphere where you can safely begin to develop insight about the connections between your emotions and behavior and improve the quality of all your relationships. I am passionate about working with teens, young adults, woman and parents. With more than 25 years of experience, some of my specializations include anxiety, depression, grief, parent-teen conflict, teen dating, body image, relationship issues, and life transitions. Call me and we can talk about how you can get your life back on track.
