Find a therapist in Texas — covered by insurance

Hello! I'm Stephanie. It's nice to meet you! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Texas and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington and I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Argosy University, Dallas in 2018. While in school I became trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing [EMDR]. Since completing school I have become a certified EMDR therapist and EMDRIA approved consultant. I am also certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy [TF-CBT].

Hi! I'm a License Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. I acknowledge that individuals may experience discomfort or challenges in life. Whether your challenges are perceived as "large" or "small", I believe that everyone has the capacity to change and grow. I find immense satisfaction in being a part of that journey, witnessing the transformation as they step into their full potential.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have been working with Individuals and Families for over 20 years.

You can be strong, capable, and still need support. Pushing through and pretending you have it all together? Worn out, anxious, healing from something heavy, or just trying to figure things out. Therapy isn’t about having it all together. It’s about getting support while you find your way.

Through real, down-to-earth chats, we’ll work on some solid tools and skills to help you live the kind of life you’re proud of. I specialize in struggling relationships, relationship abuse, high conflict divorce/CoParenting, first responders, navigating trauma, big life changes, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, personality disorders, parenting coordination, child custody/adoption evaluations, and more. My goal? To help you shift what’s not working for you in a space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered.

Fun Fact: When I'm not in the therapy office, I'll be out soaking up self-care like hiking, paddle-boarding with my Yorkie, exploring new places, creating flower arrangements, and keeping my houseplants (mostly) alive.

Therapy with me is collaborative and flexible. I draw on CBT, ERP, IFS, and trauma-informed approaches — not as rigid protocols, but as tools I adapt to what you need. Some sessions are structured skill-building; others trace how your past shapes your present. I'll help you reconnect with your instincts and move toward more freedom and joy.

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.

As someone who has sat on the other side of the couch, heart heavy with the overwhelming weight of anxiety, shame, grief, hopelessness, and defeat, I understand the bravery it takes to enter therapy - to confront yourself in the mirror and face your struggles openly and honestly. Every journey begins with a first step, even if you’re doing it scared. Choosing to begin this process is a powerful act of self-care, and I would be honored to walk alongside you.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Oregon and Texas providing teletherapy to clients. I graduated from Portland State University with a Master’s in Social Work and have pursued extensive post-graduate training in trauma treatment, couples counseling, and ACT/DBT models. I specialize in working with folks that struggle with anxiety, depression, developmental or acute trauma, family of origin concerns, LGBTQIIA+ issues, obsessive thinking, and stress management.

My approach to counseling is collaborative, educational, productive, and sometimes humorous. My strengths are helping clients who are stuck and clients who have undergone traumatic events and need to see through them. I love working with people and I love helping people find the most authentic, peaceful version of themselves. PLEASE NOTE: I am not taking new clients at the Arlington location. I am still accepting new clients in Richardson or via Telehealth.

I work hard to create a safe, empathic, and authentic environment. I believe I can best help clients by listening to their story and being a fellow traveler in their lives. I have found a passion for working with a great array of individuals but particularly enjoy working with families, couples, the LGBTQ+ community, and sex therapy. I find the best work I do is simply when I connect with a client. I have my masters from SMU and have done specialized training in Gottman, EFT, and sex therapy.
