Jonathan Todd

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 6.3 mi away • Farmers Branch, TX


I work with adults who feel stuck in patterns they understand intellectually but have difficulty changing, often related to early trauma, complex family dynamics, or relationships. You may find yourself disconnected from yourself or others, struggling with shame, boundaries, people-pleasing, or a sense of who you are. Together, we can slow down, get curious about what’s happening, and explore what might be possible.

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!

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 Richardson

Searching for therapists in Richardson starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, therapy approach, and experience match what you want to address. Reading bios can help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or other methods that align with your preferences.

Richardson is close to Plano, Garland, and north Dallas, which can expand your options while local availability may still vary by schedule, specialty, and office location. Some people prefer in-person therapy near home or work, while others choose virtual sessions for easier scheduling. When narrowing your search, compare appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, free phone consultation options, and the details in each profile. Bios can give you a clearer sense of communication style, session structure, and what to expect before you book.

Therapy in Richardson can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, review availability, enter your insurance details, and book directly when you’re ready.
