Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Duncanville, TX

You may be feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism-related challenges, parenting concerns, or a major life transition. Whatever brings you to therapy, I want to provide a space where you feel understood, supported, and comfortable being yourself.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate with a master’s degree from Lamar University and a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Texas A&M University. My journey to becoming a therapist began in education, where I worked as both a teacher and school counselor in the Dallas area. Supporting children, adolescents, and families during those years showed me the importance of feeling understood and supported, and those experiences continue to shape the way I practice today.

I work with children, teens, adults, and parents across Texas through virtual therapy. My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and neurodivergent-affirming, with a focus on helping clients better understand themselves, navigate challenges, and create meaningful change in their lives.

In addition to therapy, I have experience conducting diagnostic evaluations for ADHD, autism, and a range of mental health concerns, as well as immigration evaluations. This work has deepened my appreciation for the unique ways each person experiences the world and reinforced the importance of understanding the whole person rather than focusing solely on a diagnosis.

I understand that attending therapy can feel intimidating and overwhelming, and frequently, the most difficult aspect of the entire process is simply taking the initial step to begin. Nevertheless, you are here now, and you are officially embarking on your personal path to heal and rebuild. I genuinely welcome the chance to connect with you and discover more about exactly how I can support you. My personal approach is consistently warm, deeply empathetic, and highly collaborative.

I specialize in helping couples and adults navigate relationship challenges, cultural differences, and major life transitions. My work is especially focused on couples who feel disconnected, stuck in recurring conflict, or unsure how to rebuild trust and emotional closeness. As a Level 3 Gottman Method-trained therapist, I help partners understand their patterns, communicate more effectively, and create a stronger relationship. I also support individuals balancing career, family, cultural adjustment, and the demands of a new chapter.

Hi, I'm TJ — a Marriage and Family Therapist and the founder of A Better You Wellness, LLC. I work with couples, individuals, families, and teens (17+) across Texas, offering both in-person sessions in the Fort Worth area and teletherapy statewide.

My training is deeply relational. I graduated from North Central University with a degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, and I hold additional certifications as a Certified Trauma Professional, Master NLP Practitioner, and Hypnotherapist — training that shapes how I think about healing beyond the surface level. I specialize in relationship challenges including communication breakdowns, infidelity and trust repair, and premarital counseling, along with anxiety, depression, trauma, codependency, career stress, life transitions, and self-esteem.

What sets my approach apart is a philosophy of integration. I believe that meaningful, lasting healing rarely comes from one method alone. The experiences that shape us — especially the hard ones — leave imprints on the mind and body, and I honor both in my work. Clients often tell me they feel heard from the very first conversation, and that's something I take seriously.

I am a board-certified PMHNP with over 23 years of healthcare experience. I provide compassionate, evidence-based care for individuals with depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, sleep difficulties, trauma-related symptoms, and other mental health conditions.
