Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Desoto, TX

Life can shift unexpectedly-and when it does, the stress, trauma, or emotional pain can leave you feeling lost,

isolated, or overwhelmed. Whether you're healing from abuse, facing a major transition, navigating

relationship stress, or coping with anxiety or depression, therapy can offer a path toward clarity, peace, and

renewal. You're not alone.

Do you find yourself comparing your life to others and wondering why things don’t seem to fall into place for you? Do you struggle with anxiety, or feeling like you’re not good enough, important enough, or that you exist mainly to take care of everyone else?

If you’ve spent years feeling overlooked, misunderstood, excluded, or expected to simply “pull yourself up by your bootstraps,” therapy can offer a safe space to slow down and explore what you’ve been carrying.

Perhaps you were overlooked or hurt in childhood, bullied or excluded as a teenager, or felt like you never quite fit in. Over time, you may have learned to wear a mask so well that, as an adult, it can be difficult to even identify what feels wrong inside.

I can help you acknowledge that pain, find your voice, and develop greater self-compassion. Together, we can explore the experiences that shaped you, recognize your strengths, and build resilience as you move toward a more empowered way of being.

I work with adolescents, young adults, parents, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, self-doubt, life transitions, and the lasting impact of difficult experiences.

I have specialized training in experiential therapies, including expressive arts and Sandtray, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and insight-oriented talk therapy. I create individualized treatment plans based on your needs, goals, and concerns.

You don’t have to keep wearing the mask or carry everything alone. Therapy can be a place to feel seen, understood, and supported as you reconnect with yourself and move forward.

Veronica strives to empower individuals to live authentic lives full of love, courage, and hope. Certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), she uses this approach and others to support her clients to overcome challenges and achieve their goals.

Veronica is also working on her certification as a Gottman Couples Therapist and has recently completed Level 1 Training. Veronica enjoys working with couples and helping understand and communicate their needs to provide a fulfilling relationship.

I believe that healing is not a one size fits all process. Every person arrives with a unique story, a distinct set of strengths, and their own way of making meaning in the world. I honor that individuality as I provide a therapeutic space where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered to grow at a pace that feels authentic to them. I believe in helping people and not fixing them because people aren't broken.

Hi! I'm Kelley.

I graduated from Southern Methodist University with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Religious Studies. I earned my Masters degree from the University of North Texas's Counseling Psychology program.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor (LPC-S), Certified Eating Disorder Specialist-Consultant (CEDS-C), EMDR Certified, and have over 60 hours of training in Internal Family Systems (IFS). With more than a decade of experience under my belt in both treatment center and private practice settings, I am well equipped to help you heal your relationship with food and body image, reclaim your life from anxiety and trauma, and navigate the emotional challenges of PMDD and perimenopause. And if you appreciate a mix of humor, authenticity, and occasional swearing, we’ll likely get along well!
