LGBT therapists in Plano, TX

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 board-certified Family Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I've worked in different practice settings, including private practice, community mental health, homeless and correctional services, and addiction. I treat and manage a range of disorders ( depression, anxiety, bipolar, schizophrenia, PTSD, OCD, addictions, etc).

I earned my bachelors degree in communication studies from The University of Texas Arlington, and completed my graduate work with a Masters in Counseling from Texas A&M Commerce.

My practice is based in diversity, awareness, and inclusion for all. I welcome all clients of sexual orientations and gender identities.

I offer in person appointments in Rockwall, Texas as well as virtual teletherapy visits.

If you’re considering therapy, chances are something in your life isn’t working the way you want it to. You may feel overwhelmed, stuck in familiar patterns, disconnected from yourself or the people around you, or simply ready for something to change.

I work with people navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, people-pleasing and conflict avoidance, trauma, grief, identity concerns, life transitions, and difficulty expressing what they need or want. My goal isn’t to fit you into a box or tell you who you should become. It’s to understand what life is like for you, what is getting in your way, and where you want to go from here.

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional with over 15 years of experience supporting adults. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, ADHD, emotional overwhelm, self-worth, and relationship challenges, and I also work with couples seeking stronger communication and connection. My style is warm, collaborative, and relational, creating a space where you can show up as you are. Together, we’ll understand the patterns keeping you stuck, build on your strengths, and create meaningful, lasting change.
