Strength-Based Therapists in 75218

Hello. As a therapist practicing for over 15 years I consider it an honor to walk beside my clients as they approach their struggles. Life is hard. It's sad, lonely, aggravating and completely relentless sometimes. We all need a nonjudgmental ear to aid in our own understanding of what might have us seemingly stuck.

If you are looking for a space to feel seen, to practice being your authentic self, and to work through current (or past) events that are bringing you distress, welcome. You’ve taken the often difficult first step towards healing. I am a psychotherapist serving folks out of the DFW area (I am also able to provide services in other areas of Texas), and I am particularly passionate about providing a space for exploration and healing to members of the Deaf community (d/Deaf individuals, CODAs, interpreters, Deaf educators, and others who are peripheral to the deaf community). I provide therapy in both English and ASL.

Provisionally Licensed Psychologist. Hi there! My name is Débora Spradling I am incredibly passionate about providing a safe space for others through empathy and unconditional positive regard. Therapy requires such a deep vulnerability, and I feel honored to enter those moments with my clients. There are few things more rewarding than watching others grow in their recognition of who they are and what they need.

Your life looks impressive from the outside. You’re responsible, accomplished and driven. However, your inner critic tells a different story. That nagging voice implies that maybe you’re not good enough and loves to point out where you’re falling short. Perfectionism, people-pleasing and over-functioning has kept you going, but it’s exhausting. You want to feel loved, connected and seen, but it’s hard to prioritize yourself and your needs. You might not even know what they are at this point.

Life can be challenging. As a former college athlete, who is no stranger to challenges, Jordan is ready to lace up and be on your team. One way we can combat the challenges that life throws at us is to know and understand who we are. That is where Jordan comes in! You are worthy of getting to know yourself and how knowing yourself impacts your interpersonal relationships and, most importantly, YOU. A holistic approach toward finding and maintaining your voice is the goal. Through encouragement, support, and guidance, your therapeutic journey is set up for success as we navigate your world.

Clients I work with may be trying to find their footing after overwhelming experiences, traumatic experiences, experiencing anxiety, or a big change. So much is different, but there are moments when it feels hard- harder than you hoped it would be by now. You’ve wondered how much those challenges have impacted who you are, how you feel, and how you connect in relationships. Even if you’ve found ways to get by- it doesn’t have to keep being this hard. I want to come alongside you on this journey and discover how much better it can become.

Chris is also in an interracial marriage with their Black husband, and they have one dog together.

Life can be tough! With constant pitfalls and hurdles it sometimes seems like you can't win for loosing. Sometimes you just need a safe space to express yourself completely without judgment or fear; or maybe you are seeking insight or direction on new experiences. Whatever life may present come and let's navigate life together!

Imagine a world where the strength of your mind is celebrated as much as the health of your body. This is the philosophy that inspires Barry's work with his clients.

I have a few openings for new clients in August 2023. My aim is to help you address problematic ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving by way of examining the ways in which you perceive the world around you. The goal is to assist you in reaching a position of appreciation for your genuine self (for you are the perfect you!) and an acceptance of the events that occur in your life. I would be honored to take part in your journey of discovering the narratives which potentially distort reality and lead to discomfort, diminished self-worth, or other barriers to attaining contentment.

You deserve an expansive and liberated life. Many of my clients are exploring what it means to be their most authentic self, and how to deal with the barriers that stand in their way. They're looking for a place to be seen and understood, and to be able to let down their guard. I see clients who are navigating identity, sexuality, and belonging; those with trauma histories, anxiety, and depression, looking for relief and a deeper healing that takes them to a place of ease and fulfillment. They may have tried other solutions, but feel stuck and eager for a lasting and meaningful change.

Through my experience, I have to come to learn that counseling is most beneficial when possibilities of hope, healing, and action are developed through meaningful conversations. I see that my role as a therapist is to help patients to explore their life's narratives such that it enables them to explore new alternatives in order to develop new meaning in theirs lives.

Accepting new clients! Remember when you were a teenager? All the anxiety and frustration! It was so hard to navigate the pressures of friends, dating, academics, and decisions about the future. Now, you see your own child facing these same issues, and you feel powerless to help. It’s like she’s become a different person overnight. She’s dressing differently and has a whole new group of friends you don’t know. Calls from the school have been coming in about misbehavior, skipping, and her grades are slipping. When you try to talk to her about what she's going through, it just pushes her further away. You’re out of ideas.

Do you find yourself overwhelmed, no matter what you do? Are you may be fed up? You might not even remember a time when things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to experience peace again. Clients I work with see quick results using EMDR and solution-focused therapeutic methods.
