Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 13 mi away • Waxahachie, TX


I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with

over 10 years of experience helping

people work through life challenges and

the negative thought processes that keep

them stuck. A lot of my work is about

helping clients become emotionally

resilient, using mindfulness and other

practical tools from the theories that fit

each person best. If you're carrying

anxiety, unresolved trauma,

or strain in your closest relationships, you

don't have to sort it out on your own. I

work with teenagers, adults and seniors, including a

lot of men who didn't expect therapy to

be for them.

Danyell Wells

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 14 mi away • Dallas, TX


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.
