Motivational Interviewing Therapists in Frisco, TX

I take a whole body approach to health and illness with a focus on how the mind influences the body just as the body influences the mind. Anxiety, depression, and stress can impact health and exacerbate chronic pain, heart disease, insomnia, and other medical problems. However, addressing the emotional aspects of medical conditions can improve quality of life and physical health. Also, psychological principles can help enhance wellness and lead to lasting behavioral changes. As a health psychologist, I can help you emotionally cope with medical conditions, make healthy lifestyle choices, and learn skills to move forward with your life.

I enjoy partnering with individuals to improve their overall quality of life and I truly believe each of us holds the power to improve ourselves.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC from MS, residing in TX. That means I have "that southern hospitality" to help you feel at ease. I'm easy going, but passionate about helping others along in their journey. I have 10yrs experience in Mental Health as a Case Manager & Counselor.

Coming to therapy might seem scary. While it does take courage, success is possible. I have gotten to hear many stories of redemption: marriages that seemed beyond hope gaining incredible intimacy, people whose lives have been riddled with anxiety finally start to take control, and mothers who feel lost in the daily struggle learning to find themselves again. It is possible and I believe you can do it. The road may not be easy but it is worth it. My approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral therapy and attachment theory.

Hi! I am currently accepting new clients - in person & virtually! I wholeheartedly believe in the transformative power of empathy, which, when combined with connection, becomes the essential fuel for success. Many individuals have not experienced the true depth of being heard, understood, and loved, and some may not have felt encouraged to embrace their authentic selves. In counseling, I strive to create a non-judgmental space that is therapeutic, life-giving, safe & conducive to personal growth. Self-awareness, encompassing strengths, weaknesses, experiences, personality type & more, serves as a foundation for setting attainable

I am a Trauma Certified Family Life Educator, Researcher, and Coach. I am the owner of Bridging the Gaps Family Life Services where I offer family life coaching and education for families experiencing significant life transitions and distress. I am passionate about helping families in crisis and supporting women who are mothers of tweens, teens, and young adults who are experiencing identity distress and trauma. Many of my clients are looking for skills and resources to navigate overwhelm, chronic stress, caregiver fatigue, and maternal burnout while, also, creating deeper connections with their children, family, and friends.

Most of us can easily think of the obvious benefits to counseling but a mental/emotional investment is required to reap those benefits. Unfortunately there is no magic wand or magic pill and as a therapist I cannot "fix" anyone. But...I can teach you how to use your thoughts for your success rather than your destruction. I can show you how your thoughts can be used as the steering wheel of your emotions and behavior. I can help you acquire and employ cognitive and behavioral strategies that will facilitate better communication and improve the relationship with yourself and others.

Life can be hard when we least expect it. I believe it's important for individuals to be able to recognize when there comes a time to ask for help. Counseling is a transformational process. I believe when you make time and invest the energy to allowing yourself to grow, succeed, and acknowledge all that you are capable of, it is priceless. I want to help you feel empowered to live your life with an abundance of confidence, strength, and peace. You deserve it because taking care of you matters. "We must always change, renew, rejuvenate ourselves; otherwise we harden." - Johann von Goethe

If you feel overwhelmed, are experiencing stress, sadness, loneliness, grief, anger, or are struggling in your relationships, there is hope! I firmly believe that it is never too late for change, and I am passionate about helping people gain the tools they need to thrive. My approach to counseling focuses on helping clients achieve their goals, increase inner-strength, and grow in their relationships by providing a supportive, practical, and positive environment for change. I'd love to partner with you as you pursue your mental health goals.

People keep telling you that you are so strong- yet, you don't feel strong. You are tired of being strong. You are surrounded by friends and family who keep asking what they can do for you, but you don't know what to say. You feel so loved by the people around you and you also feel alone. You want to find yourself again and you want to have hope for the future. You want to find strength in the love you once had even as you move forward.

Hello, I am a clinical neuropsychologist. My specialty is the brain-behavior relationship. I help you understand how to utilize your powerful brain to overcome emotional challenges.

As your therapist, I will partner with you to overcome the barriers to your happiness. I work with both adolescent and adult clients to identify goals that will bring them more of what they are searching for or missing in their lives. Therapy is a collaborative process and I work with my clients to bring forward their strengths and insight while offering new skills and perspective to address problems. I provide a safe, respectful, and affirming therapeutic environment.

You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending. If you have ever felt stuck from past hardships or traumas that are impacting your current relationships, life satisfaction, career, and overall well-being, I may be the therapist for you. I will help you regain a sense of control over your own life and will give you back the pen so you can write your ending in a manner that serves you best.

Do you feel trapped by irrational fears and worries? Are you avoiding places or activities because of anxiety? Have obsessive thoughts or compulsive behaviors started to control your life? Anxiety and panic can make daily life feel like a constant battle. Obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors may offer some relief in the moment but end up taking over your life. If you're tired of living on edge, avoiding social situations, or feeling trapped in cycles of obsessive thinking and behavior, I can help.

Currently only seeing clients in Texas. I will be adding additional State Licensures soon! Welcome to my Psychology Today Site. I am a guide for a person or system seeking truth and peace who may be in the dark as to what blocks them in their journey. The guidance involves improving self awareness to identify needs, and helping an individual or system learn and practice skills to move towards fulfillment or those needs.

Everyone needs somebody to lean on. But what happens when the pressure is too much or goes unnoticed? I see it, I acknowledge the weight and sacrifice. A lot of the time, I believe, humans just need a little validation; a reminder that they matter and their efforts mean something. I've seen that the people with the biggest hearts suffer the most, out of protection for others and unfortunately put their quality of life on the backburner. I remind my clients of the beauty of their own heart, their innate potential, and the power of self worth. We have one life to live, why not truly live it.

I am passionate about the impact of addiction and trauma on individuals and families, and specialize in helping those struggling with chronic relapse, especially when the traditional treatment models (30 days in residential rehab, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient) haven't helped in the past. The goal of therapy is to achieve sobriety, but more importantly to heal the relationships of the harms caused by years of addictive behavior. My aim is to make your counseling experience as fulfilling and meaningful as possible by creating a customized treatment plan that leads to real, tangible results.
