Grief counselors and therapists in Hurst, TX

I’m Destiny Parker, a counselor, educator, and wellness advocate who believes healing happens when people feel seen, safe, and supported as their full selves.

In my clinical work, I support individuals who are managing stress, burnout, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the lingering effects of trauma. I have a particular passion for working with educators, caregivers, and helping professionals who often prioritize everyone else while quietly carrying their own emotional load. I also work with adolescents and young adults as they navigate self-esteem, peer relationships, identity exploration, and emotional resilience.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or stretched thin by anxiety, depression, relationship stress, or life changes, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I work with individuals who want a space to feel understood, supported, and empowered as they move through challenges and toward meaningful growth. My goal is to create an affirming, compassionate environment where you can show up as you are and begin making sense of what you’re carrying.

It's easy to feel stuck in life with limited support. As a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience in private practice and inpatient settings, I strive to make my clients seen and heard for who they are.

Hello! I am Peace Popoola, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with a passion for helping individuals and families navigate life's challenges. I am also certified as a Perinatal Therapist (PMH-C). You don't have to be "fine" all the time. Whether you are struggling mood changes, relationship challenges or perinatal grief/loss, I provide a judgement-free space to release emotions and take a break from chaos.

Hello, I am so glad you found my page today, that alone is a big step!

I am a seasoned Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, which means I can hold space for both parties in a session. I can remain calm and objective during times of high conflict and times of deep pain.

I work from the science of attachment and Emotionally Focused Therapy. I am also educated in couples trauma, neurodivergent couples, executive and entrepreneurial couples, and infidelity repair.

I specialize in helping my clients navigate challenging situations. From substance use disorders to grief, I've supported my clients in fostering effective communication and emotional expression. Sharing feelings openly and honestly is crucial for your well-being. Remember, transformation takes time, but there is always hope with hard work. You can move towards a more connected and hopeful future.

Asking for help can feel unattainable when you are already trying to find a reason to keep going. Whether you are overwhelmed with the "stuff" on your plate today or it has been something building for years, taking that first step can be difficult. Sometimes we need a place to talk things through, a place that is free from judgment. I know that I am not where I thought I'd be 5 years ago; life can be rough, but you do not have to do this alone.
