Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Southlake, TX

If you are carrying the weight of anxiety, burnout, or a major life transition, I offer a warm, non-judgmental space to help you find yourself again. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over a decade of experience specializing in maternal mental health and student life transitions. I completed my Master of Science in Counseling at Southern Methodist University and focus on providing flexible, deeply personalized care tailored to your unique journey.

Hi, I’m Dr. Aminah Abdikadir, DNP, PMHNP-BC. I’ve spent nearly a decade helping individuals improve their mental health through inpatient, outpatient, and telehealth care. I believe in a holistic approach that looks at the whole person mind, body, and environment to create lasting change. My style is warm, collaborative, and focused on helping you feel balanced and empowered as you navigate life’s challenges.

Clients describe me as someone who’s compassionate, but who will “tell it like it is.” I believe that most problems in our relationships and well-being come from unmet needs in childhood. I help my clients learn to heal through mindfulness, reparenting, and finding a sense of safety through Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) or somatic therapy. At the same time, we need to identify and challenge negative beliefs that we have about ourselves and the world. This is a process called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Through therapy, we can develop self-awareness, healthy boundaries, and assertive communication. These are skills we can all learn to help us feel better and work towards the life and healthy relationships we want.

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!

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.
