ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Allen, TX

I believe healing and growth happen best when people feel safe, accepted, and genuinely cared for. I love working with children, teens, and families, and I strive to create a warm, supportive space where clients can feel comfortable being themselves.

For children, I have advanced training in Child-Centered Play Therapy, which allows them to express feelings, work through challenges, and build confidence through the natural language of play. Often, children communicate much more through play than they can with words, and I enjoy helping them feel understood and supported in ways that fit their developmental needs.

I am a versatile mental health professional dedicated to supporting individuals of all ages across Texas. I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling and bring an extensive dual background as both a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Certified School Counselor (CSC). This unique combination allows me to expertly bridge the gap between school system dynamics and deep clinical healing.

I adopt a highly personalized approach to therapy, rejecting "one-size-fits-all" treatment. Instead, I use from a diverse therapeutic toolkit to tailor sessions entirely to each individual's needs. My core specialties include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for restructuring unhelpful thought patterns, Play Therapy to help children process emotions naturally, and Trauma-Informed Care to provide a safe, structured space for healing.

My dual credentialing gives me a profound understanding of childhood development, student academic stressors, and school-based interventions. However, my clinical expertise extends far beyond the classroom, allowing me to successfully guide adults and families through life transitions, anxiety, and complex trauma. No matter the client's age, I am committed to meeting people exactly where they are on their mental health journey.

Hi, I’m Taylor Avery, an LCSW in Texas, and I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of North Texas. I specialize in working with individuals navigating substance use, trauma, grief and loss, life transitions, anxiety, and depression, and I have extensive experience in both individual and intensive outpatient settings.

I'm a retired U.S. Army veteran with more than 30 years of experience supporting others through life's challenges. Over 26 of those years were spent walking alongside troops — listening, guiding, and helping them navigate the weight of service. That experience clarified my path, and in 2015 I became a Licensed Professional Counselor.

Whether or not it's my calling, I know this: I'm good at what I do, and I care deeply about the people I work with. My approach reflects the things I love most in life, including a strong belief in the healing power of animals. I've seen firsthand how they meet needs we don't always recognize we have — offering comfort, connection, and a kind of understanding that words sometimes can't reach.
