If you’re considering therapy, chances are something in your life isn’t working the way you want it to. You may feel overwhelmed, stuck in familiar patterns, disconnected from yourself or the people around you, or simply ready for something to change.
I work with people navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, people-pleasing and conflict avoidance, trauma, grief, identity concerns, life transitions, and difficulty expressing what they need or want. My goal isn’t to fit you into a box or tell you who you should become. It’s to understand what life is like for you, what is getting in your way, and where you want to go from here.
Thanks for checking out my profile! Here, you can find some important information about me. If you think we'd be a good fit or want more info, feel free to schedule a free consultation call.

I am a Christian and, if you want to bring your faith into counseling, I'm happy to provide therapy that integrates faith without bypassing your emotional experience.

- Relationship Difficulties
- Trauma Recovery & EMDR

If you're the one everyone else leans on, welcome. You've found a space where you don't have to perform.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 13 years of experience, I help adolescents (12+) and adults navigate anxiety, burnout, life transitions, and the lasting weight of trauma. My approach is warm, collaborative, trauma-informed, and I'm trained in Brainspotting, integrating music and creative practices when they fit. Sessions with me feel like real conversation, clinically grounded, never clinical-feeling.
You are not broken, and you were never meant to be fixed. Whenever you're ready, I'd be honored to begin.
I help people develop healthier strategies for meeting their needs, especially in relationships. If you have been impacted by stress, trauma, or loss, or if things just aren't working, please get in touch. With over 10 years of experience providing care, I am ready to help you!
Welcome! My name is Marquin Decker and I hold a Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of North Texas. I am Licensed Professional Counselor and am EMDR Trained.
I didn’t grow up with the healthy mother-daughter relationship I longed for, and that experience shaped my desire to help others find healing. Today, I’m passionate about helping my clients build the connection, understanding, and relationship they deserve. I specialize in working with women and teens as well as incorporating equine and animal-assisted therapies. I am also trained in play therapy and can work with children ages 6-10yo.
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 Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor. I obtained a Master’s degree in Counseling from the University of North Texas at Dallas in 2014. I am also happily married to my husband of 8 years and am a proud mother to a little boy.
I has experience working with individuals, families, groups, couples, and adolescents. My specialties include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), depression, anxiety, relationships, and behavioral issues.
LIFE be LIFING...You’ve been carrying a lot for a long time. Maybe anxiety, depression, past experiences, or high-stress situations are starting to catch up with you, and it’s getting harder to manage on your own. You might feel stuck in patterns you don’t fully understand or unsure how to move forward. If you’re ready to feel more in control, break unhealthy cycles, and finally have space to focus on yourself, we can work together to help you create clarity, stability, and real, lasting change.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Allen
Searching for therapists in Allen starts with knowing what kind of support you want from care. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, or major life changes. As you compare options for therapy in Allen, TX, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, approach, and experience match your needs. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or other methods that may fit what you want to work on.
Allen has a smaller local therapy market than nearby Dallas or Plano, so the right match may not be limited to an office close to home. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Texas. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, focus areas, and what a first session may look like.
Therapy in Allen can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for Allen counselors and therapists who match your preferences, review detailed bios, check your estimated out-of-pocket cost, and book directly when you’re ready.
