I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with fifteen years of experience helping women, couples, and teens navigate life's most meaningful transitions with greater clarity, resilience, and connection. My practice focuses on women ages 35 and older experiencing perimenopause, hormonal changes, infertility, pregnancy and postpartum concerns, anxiety, grief, caregiving, career transitions, and shifting identity.
I also work with couples who want to strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and deepen emotional intimacy, as well as teens (ages 14+) facing anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, family conflict, and major life changes.
I earned a PhD from B.H. Carroll Theological Seminary and hold master's degrees in counseling and theology. My approach integrates evidence-based therapy with compassionate, personalized care. For clients who desire it, I thoughtfully incorporate Christian faith perspectives, welcoming both Catholic and Protestant traditions while honoring each person's values and beliefs.

Hi, I’m a licensed therapist who helps people feel more grounded, supported, and in control of their lives. I have a strong background in clinical social work and training in evidence‐based approaches that support healing and real change. I specialize in anxiety, life transitions, relationship stress, and helping clients build healthier patterns. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and empowered.
I have a Ph.D in Counseling. I've been a therapist since 1984 and I listen very well. I help clients with anxiety, depression and relationship issues and more.
Hi, I'm James Greenwald, a licensed professional counselor with 10+ years of experience in both private practice and public mental health services here in North Texas. I'm a graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary, and my training centers on concepts and skills from dialectical behavioral and family systems models of therapy. I specialize in assisting clients struggling with depression, anxiety, patterns of addiction, life transitions, boundaries, and various levels of trauma recovery.
I am a LPC in private pratice. I have work with clients dealing with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and trauma. I utilize a combination of psychoeducation, skills-building, and talk therapy to help my clients achieve their goals. I have had the honor of working with people of all backgrounds and bringing cultural awareness to the therapeutic connection.
As a therapist, I believe that therapy should be anti-racist, LGBTQ+ and gender-affirming, intersectional, and inclusive.
I strive for creating the conditions were humans can regain their curiosity, hope, and a new interactional perspective of themselves. Having also also known love, generosity, tolerance, respect and solidarity. I reject the need for cynicism: under the right conditions one can comfortably adhere to the unconditional confidence in the human potential for self-understanding, tolerance and positive change.
