Are you looking for a medication free treatment for ADHD, anxiety, depression, stuttering, developmental disabilities, or other brain related difficulties? Or, are you a high achieving student, professional or athlete who desires to enhance your performance in academics, athletics, or business? Everyone wants to have more effective, more efficient brain power. We want to perform at our personal peak, without the use of psychotropic medications. As a Licensed Psychologist and Board Certified Neurotherapist, I treat children and adults using brain training, and individual and family counseling techniques.


We teach the brain to regulate itself using EEG neurofeedback, as well as safe and subtle neurostimulation. While the brain is growing stronger and more adaptive, counseling is provided to assist with problem solving strategies and the cultivation of enhanced emotional and behavioral regulation.

Give us a call today so we may begin training your brain to function its peak performance. We have evening & weekend hours available. No student need miss any school.

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!

You’re doing your best—but parenting can feel heavy. Maybe your child is having big emotions, struggling with anxiety, or acting out in ways that worry you. Maybe you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and wondering if you’re doing enough. You're not alone—and you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself. I work with moms and children (ages 3–17) who are navigating the hard stuff—anxiety, trauma, life changes, or just the emotional weight of everyday life. Whether your child needs support, or you do (or both), I provide a safe, compassionate space where healing begins and hope grows

You don't have to explain your whole story before we get started. Whether you're working through old trauma, anxiety that follows you into every room, or family dynamics that have never felt right, I'm here to help you make sense of it, and move through it.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a Master of Science in counseling. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and seniors, and I've supported people through trauma, grief, addiction, bipolar disorder, relationship conflict, and some of life's most disorienting transitions. I bring cultural awareness, warmth, and a direct style to every session. Good therapy should feel real, not clinical.

I became a therapist because I believe healing happens in relationship, and I'm committed to being a consistent, grounded presence in that process. I have been in the mental health field in last 5 years and a mental health therapist since 2024.

Recognizing the need for growth and change can feel intimidating, but taking that first step toward therapy shows courage and a willingness to invest in yourself. I create a warm, supportive space where clients can safely explore past and present experiences. Together, we work to understand patterns, emotions, and challenges that may be holding you back. I view therapy as a collaborative journey where we move at your pace while building insight, self-acceptance, and meaningful change. My goal is to help you reconnect with your strengths and move toward a more balanced, fulfilling life.

Danyell Wells

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 11 mi away • Dallas, TX


If you're the one everyone else leans on, welcome. You've found a space where you don't have to perform.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 13 years of experience, I help adolescents (12+) and adults navigate anxiety, burnout, life transitions, and the lasting weight of trauma. My approach is warm, collaborative, trauma-informed, and I'm trained in Brainspotting, integrating music and creative practices when they fit. Sessions with me feel like real conversation, clinically grounded, never clinical-feeling.

You are not broken, and you were never meant to be fixed. Whenever you're ready, I'd be honored to begin.
