Deborah Gardner

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 20 mi away • Plano, TX


I earned my Master of Science in Social Work at the University of Texas at Arlington in 2003. I had the privilege of starting in the field of sexual abuse/violence, which began my real-life education. I've continued my study of trauma, and in family dynamics. This continues to shape my growth. I have years of experience working in psychiatric hospitals with those struggling with severe mental illness. The one thing that I've learned and want to share is this: people can (and do!) get better.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Mesquite

Searching for therapists in Mesquite starts with knowing what kind of support you want from therapy. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, populations served, and therapy styles that match your needs. A therapist who notes experience with cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, couples therapy, or support for adults and families may offer a clearer fit.

Mesquite has local therapy options, and nearby Dallas-area access can broaden your search. Virtual therapy can also give you more choices if office location, commute, or appointment timing matters. As you narrow your list, check whether each therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your schedule, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you understand how each therapist describes their style, session structure, and areas of focus.

Therapy in Mesquite can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between virtual and in-person appointments when available. You can browse profiles, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
