Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Cedar Hill, TX

Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or worried about your child or family? I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20+ years of experience helping children, parents, and caregivers through big feelings and life changes. As a former elementary school counselor and certified K–12 art teacher, I understand the school, social, and family pressures kids and teens face.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience in hospital-based care, trauma work, and cross-cultural mental health, my practice is guided by the belief that healing starts with safety, clarity, and being truly understood. I offer a steady, compassionate presence and a culturally attuned perspective, respecting both the science of the mind and your personal narrative. I am dedicated to providing care that is thoughtful, grounded, and respectful of your entire experience.

Hi, I’m Corey. Life can get complicated, and sometimes the patterns that once helped us cope begin creating new challenges. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, struggling in your relationships, carrying the weight of past experiences, or finding yourself stuck in habits you can’t seem to break, therapy can be a place to slow down, understand what’s happening, and start making changes that feel possible.

"I believe that therapy should be as unique as the person sitting across from me. With nine years of clinical experience, I’ve learned that a 'one-size-fits-all' approach rarely works. That’s why I integrate evidence-based tools like CBT, EMDR, and REBT with a holistic, solution-focused framework to create a proactive plan tailored specifically to you.

My career has been defined by serving those in their most vulnerable moments—from life transitions and developmental stages to veterans and families navigating the complexities of service to individuals fighting addiction and codependency. Whether we are utilizing 12-Step principles or processing trauma through EMDR, my goal is to provide a constructive, non-judgmental space where you can find a concrete path forward. I hold an MS in Counseling Mental Health and am dually licensed as a Professional Counselor (LPC) and Addiction Counselor (LCDC) to ensure you receive the most comprehensive support possible."

While my credentials reflect my dedication, my true strength is the genuine care and seasoned skill I invest in you. I bring deep empathy and clinical expertise to our work together, drawing from my 15 years of experience as a Doctor of Psychology with an Ed.D. in counseling psychology. As a Texas LPC and a Nationally Certified Counselor, my foundation began at Virginia State University, a proud HBCU, where I earned a BS in psychology. Several years after graduating, I earned an MA in School Counseling/Psychology with a focus on marriage and family therapy.

Lifelong experience as a professional dancer and choreographer, allows me to foster deep, creative healing that honors your individual journey. My perspective is further shaped by my work as a professor, wherein I study the psychological impact of media on women’s self-esteem, allowing me to help navigate modern pressures while protecting your mental well-being.
