Life can feel overwhelming when stress, anger, addiction, anxiety, or family conflict start pulling you away from who you want to be. I work with adolescent boys, teens, and adults who feel stuck, disconnected, or weighed down by emotional struggles and unhealthy patterns. Together, we focus on building confidence, emotional balance, healthy coping skills, and a stronger sense of purpose so you can feel more grounded, peaceful, and in control of your life and relationships.
Greetings!
My name is Twyla Terry-McCarrell, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Dallas, Texas, serving clients across Texas, Oklahoma, and Georgia via telehealth. I hold a master’s degree in counseling from Dallas Theological Seminary and specialize in trauma-informed therapy. I help adults navigate and heal from experiences of abandonment, anxiety, depression, grief, PTSD, and CPTSD. My practice is dedicated to creating a safe, compassionate space where you can explore your story, reclaim your voice, and move toward lasting recovery.

I have over 13 years of experience working in the field of human services and mental health. I have worked closely with adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities. I am known for my resilient spirit and ability to provide unconditional positive regard.
Maybe you can't quite name what's wrong. Things feel off, the worry won't settle, or a low mood has overstayed its welcome, and you haven't put a label on any of it. That's a perfectly good place to begin. I work with teens (16 and up), adults, and couples who sense something needs to change and are ready to look at it honestly. You'll find me direct and warm, willing to ask the questions that actually matter, and not afraid to bring some humor into the room, because the work doesn't have to feel heavy every single minute.
