Grief counselors and therapists in Wylie, TX

If you've spent your life providing, surviving, and holding things together for everyone else, therapy can feel like one more thing to manage. I work with men and working people who are tired of feeling anxious, isolated, or stuck, and who want to feel like themselves again. As a bilingual therapist raised in San Antonio, I understand the pressures of low wages, generational trauma, and the expectation to keep pushing no matter what. Whether you're navigating relationships, identity, or stress that never fully turns off, you don't have to figure it out alone.

As a board-certified psychotherapist and supervisor, I believe that everyone deserves a safe space to explore, heal, and grow. Therapy can be a place to challenge yourself, overcome obstacles, and discover your greatest potential. With 10 years of experience, I approach each session with confidence, empathy, and a commitment to helping you navigate life’s stressors and create meaningful change.

What I would want clients to know about me is that I understand how heavy life can feel when you are carrying too much for too long. I often work with moms, caregivers, children, teens, and adults who are navigating anxiety, stress, overwhelm, life transitions, and the pressure to keep showing up even when they feel emotionally exhausted. If you are a mom who feels like you are always running, always thinking about what someone else needs, and slowly losing touch with yourself, this can be a space to pause, breathe, and begin finding your way back to you.

I also bring many years of experience in education and school counseling, which helps me support children, teens, and families with a practical understanding of how home, school, relationships, and daily responsibilities can impact emotional well-being. My goal is not to help you chase perfection, but to help you build more balance, clarity, confidence, and peace in your everyday life. Whether you are trying to feel like yourself again or trying to support a child who is struggling, you do not have to figure it all out alone.

When anxiety, depression, grief, or relationship challenges begin affecting your daily life, it can feel overwhelming trying to carry everything on your own. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship issues, and stress management concerns. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling emotionally exhausted, struggling with difficult relationships, coping with major life transitions, or facing challenges that have left them feeling disconnected from themselves and others. Whether you're navigating the loss of a loved one, relationship difficulties, chronic stress, panic symptoms, or a season of uncertainty, therapy can provide a supportive space to gain clarity and create meaningful change. My goal is to help you build resilience, strengthen self awareness, and develop practical tools that support greater emotional wellbeing and confidence.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master of Science in Clinical Rehabilitation Counseling. With over nine years of experience, I have had the privilege of working with clients from diverse backgrounds, helping them navigate challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, self-esteem issues, LGBTQ+ concerns, and relationship difficulties.

I am here for anyone who seeks uncommon peace and lasting contentment regardless of circumstances. As a therapist and theologian, I will (upon request) seamlessly weave Christian faith and mental wellness, treating both with equal reverence. Serenity is found where gratitude, intentional thought-authoring, emotional regulation, and value-driven alignment grow. Let's do this!

I’m Destiny Parker, a counselor, educator, and wellness advocate who believes healing happens when people feel seen, safe, and supported as their full selves.

In my clinical work, I support individuals who are managing stress, burnout, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the lingering effects of trauma. I have a particular passion for working with educators, caregivers, and helping professionals who often prioritize everyone else while quietly carrying their own emotional load. I also work with adolescents and young adults as they navigate self-esteem, peer relationships, identity exploration, and emotional resilience.

“If we want to not just survive but also to thrive in this always challenging world, we have to intentionally develop our capacity to act with courage.” My job is to help you find and develop that courage for the challenges of life.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I work with individuals, couples, and families who want more than just relief from stress or conflict—they want meaningful change. I believe courage isn’t about being fearless; it’s about showing up honestly, even when it’s uncomfortable, and taking small, intentional steps toward the life and relationships you want. Therapy is a place where you don’t have to have it all figured out. Together, we slow things down, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and uncover new ways of responding that feel more aligned with who you truly are.
