Couples Therapy Therapists in Dallas

Hello, My name is Dawn James-Russell and I am the Founder & Chief Love Officer of Love & Therapy PLLC. We are a boutique group practice, providing protected, safe spaces for individuals, couples & families to shift, strengthen & shine in Texas, Missouri and Ohio. By addressing trauma and enhancing compassion & communication to revive relationships, we can restore love, healing & happiness. Your mental health matters deeply to us and we are committed to providing unwavering support, understanding, and trusted care every day. Our team is comprised of Therapists (LMFT's, LPC's and LMSW's) and Nurse Practitioners (Family Health & Wellness - Psych Med Mgmt.) so we can holistically support our clients total well-being. We also have a PHP/IOP program to support adults who’ve been struggling with mental & behavioral health disorders, including substance abuse and addiction. Outpatient programs are utilized to foster growth in clients that require a step-down program after they have completed inpatient stabilization, as this is often the most tenuous time in treatment. The programs can also be utilized as a step-up program when just routine care in the community is not intense enough to offer a positive, stable support system.

My philosophy? Relational, resilient, restored. Your life experience is influenced by your relationships -family, partners, colleagues, and friends -including the introspective exploration of yourself. At some point, your relationships have stopped making sense. This is where I like joining you in your journey. Maybe its your relationship to work, your relationship with your family, friends, faith community, etc. Finding the story underneath these dynamics is where transformation begins. Prior to becoming a therapist, I spent 15 years in corporate world. This has given me the perspective of what many people are quietly carrying.

I am a licensed psychologist and the founder of Bridgewell Cognitive Health. My work focuses on helping individuals understand the patterns in their thinking, behavior, and emotional responses that may be contributing to distress or difficulty in daily life. Many of the people I work with identify as neurodivergent or suspect that neurodivergent traits may be influencing their experiences. My practice focuses on the intersection of neurodivergence and mental health, particularly how differences in attention, cognition, and emotional processing can interact with conditions such as anxiety, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and executive functioning challenges.My clinical work focuses primarily on neurodivergence and the mental health conditions that commonly co-occur with it. These include: • ADHD and executive functioning challenges • Obsessive-compulsive patterns of thinking and behavior • Anxiety and chronic worry • Phobias and avoidance patterns • Body-focused repetitive behaviors (such as hair pulling or skin picking) • Emotional dysregulation and rumination • Neurodivergent relationship dynamics

Life can be confusing, lonely, and overwhelming. Reaching out for help is incredibly brave. At Growth Mindset Psychotherapy we offer a warm and compassionate space to process your thoughts and learn skills to navigate life's hardships.

As a licensed therapist, author, and survivor of sexual exploitation, I bring both personal experience and professional expertise to help others heal from the trauma of abuse.

I help individuals heal from trauma, relationship challenges, and emotional wounds caused by betrayal, abuse, and trust issues. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns.

I’m Amanda Steed, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) providing therapy in Texas, Washington, and Colorado. My work is trauma-informed, practical, and deeply compassionate—I help people make sense of what they’re experiencing and create a clear path toward healing and transformation. Many of the people who find their way to me are high-functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or disconnected on the inside. They may be tired of overthinking, second-guessing themselves, or repeating relationship patterns they can’t seem to change. Others are carrying the impact of past experiences—relational trauma, chronic stress, or spiritual/religious harm—and want a therapy approach that goes beyond coping to create real, lasting shifts. In our work together, you can expect a steady, non-shaming space that balances warmth and honesty. We’ll move at a pace that feels safe, while staying oriented toward meaningful change. I’ll help you understand the “why” beneath your patterns, strengthen your nervous system’s capacity for regulation, and build a road map that supports the life and relationships you want.

If you are struggling with emotional pain from life’s many difficulties, you have come to the right place.

I work with clients all over Texas and Louisiana. Some areas I specialize in are: Relationships, Parenting, Grief and Loss, Depression and Anxiety. I use Hypnotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy to help people enrich and improve their lives with new thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that work better for their happiness. Sometimes friends family just aren't enough to help you make sense of life's problems. You need an experienced counselor with "no strings attached". I'm glad you are taking this step to find a therapist to become a "healthier and happier you". Give me a call to discuss how together we can help you create the life you want and deserve. You are worth it!

Stories matter. They’re how we make sense of the world, informing the questions we still need to wrestle with and the decisions we must act upon. They shape our perceptions of ourselves and others. And they have the capacity to impact the trajectory of our lives. Our stories have immeasurable power. And telling our stories is the beginning of connection. It’s how we become known to one another. So here’s a snippet of mine: I’m an East Texas native who’s landed in the big city of Dallas. Growing up, I was the little girl raising her hand to ask another question beginning with, “But what about…?” My story has always been filled with more questions than answers, and I’ve grown to find so much contentment in that. Questions, even those whose answers may be unknown, keep us rooted in curiosity and propel us toward compassion. If you met me today, you’d quickly learn I’m a business owner, licensed therapist, leadership and relationship coach,wife, and mom. But you’d also discover I’m a friend, part-time caretaker, fair-play advocate, question-asker, and deep-feeling internal processor. I’m married to a physician and mom to two beautiful, bold little girls. Mostly, I’m interested in holding space for people to recognize and affirm their inherent dignity while guiding them to use their creative strengths to live more meaningful lives. Simply put, I want to help you grow.

Hi, I'm Maribel Perry, a bilingual (English and Spanish) Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate and the founder of Silver Lining Couples & Family Therapy in Dallas. I work with couples and families who feel stuck. Maybe communication has broken down, trust has been damaged after infidelity, or you've started feeling more like roommates than partners. These struggles are more common than people think, and they don't mean your relationship is beyond repair. One of the biggest things I've learned is that most couples aren't struggling because they've stopped loving each other. They're struggling because no one ever taught them how to communicate through conflict, understand each other's needs, or reconnect after they've been hurt. That's where therapy comes in. Together, we'll build practical skills, work through the patterns keeping you stuck, and create a healthier way of relating to each other. I offer therapy in English and Spanish, both in person in Dallas and virtually across Texas, so getting support is as convenient as possible. Reaching out for help isn't always easy. But if you're here reading this, you've already taken the first step.

When I'm not in the therapy room, I am enjoying life with my husband and three kids. We enjoy camping, video games and family movie night!

Looking for therapy usually means something inside you is asking for relief, clarity, or a place to finally exhale. You may be tired of carrying everything alone, overthinking your emotions, or pushing through when you’re already depleted. I’m Tiffany Hicks, LPC-S, a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor based in Frisco, Texas, offering therapy and telehealth services across Texas. Clients often describe my presence as grounding, warm, and honest. I bring Red Lip Therapist™ energy into the space. Calm, affirming, and real. I believe therapy works best when you feel emotionally safe, respected, and understood. You don’t need to have the right words or a clear plan. You just need a space where you can show up as you are and begin making sense of what you’re carrying.

I believe that everyone can benefit from therapy. When you give yourself the gift of therapy, you give yourself the best chance at a fulfilling life. I help adults, single parents, and any family system balance the connection between mind, body, and spirit. As a therapist, I strive to be the mediator that propels others forward. My goal is to help others tap into their flow state and become their optimal selves. This is possible by acknowledging how our prior experiences have shaped us, conditioning our strongest beliefs about ourselves and others. We become our best when we begin to heal from this conditioning and forge a new way of living that serves needs without taking away from others. Anyone working with me will undoubtedly experience feeling of being truly heard, seen, understood, informed, challenged, and given a space to freely express thoughts and feelings without judgement or condemnation. Clients will be able to increase their awareness of self, identify barriers to progress, and be equipped with the skills necessary to cope with presenting problems.
