EMDR Therapy Therapists in Dallas

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in treating adults and teens who may be experiencing anxiety, PTSD/trauma, depression, or working through life transitions. I am trauma-informed, EMDR Certified, and I incorporate CBT, DBT skills, mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing to help clients work through their various struggles. I am an affirming therapist who works with a variety of clients, meeting them where they are and finding the right therapeutic intervention for their specific needs. I provide a warm and accepting environment where clients can feel safe processing through their stressors, concerns, or trauma without fear of judgment. I earned my bachelor's degree in Psychology from St. Edward's University in Austin, Texas in 1999 and masters in Clinical/Counseling Psychology from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas in 2001. I obtained my professional license (LPC) in 2004 while working at the Dallas County Juvenile Department, providing individual, group, family, and crisis counseling to youth who were involved in the juvenile justice system. Over the past 20+ years, my experience has included working with teenagers experiencing behavioral problems, children and teenagers in the foster care system, individuals struggling with substance abuse/addiction issues, and adults with a variety of therapeutic goals and concerns. Personally, I am a mom, a wife, a daughter of aging parents, an animal lover, and hopefully a place where you can feel safe.

I am an EMDR-trained, Licensed Professional Counselor who works with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, identity concerns, and major life transitions. My work is trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming, and grounded in an understanding of the nervous system and mind–body connection. Before becoming a therapist, I spent many years working in movement- and body-based professions, which continues to shape how I understand stress, trauma, and healing as lived, physical experiences—not just cognitive ones. I also bring lived experience as a former first responder, as well as a deep respect for creativity, curiosity, and the many ways people make meaning.

I have worked in mental health for 10 years, and before starting my own practice, "Time to Heal Therapy, PLLC", I worked in many settings: inpatient/residential/php for eating disorders, school-based therapy, non-profit and medicaid facilities, and traditional outpatient therapy clinics. I'm a gentle and empathetic therapist, and I also give clients direct skills to help aid them in their healing journey.

I’m Amber Foster, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Board-Approved Supervisor (LCSW-S), and the founder of Infinite Hope Counseling, PLLC. I earned my Bachelor of Social Work from Texas State University in 2014 and my Master of Science in Social Work from The University of Texas at Arlington in 2015. I’m EMDRIA-certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a trained Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) provider, and an EMDRIA-approved Consultant. I also provide clinical supervision to LMSWs pursuing licensure. As a practice owner, I’m committed to cultivating a trauma-informed culture grounded in care, collaboration, and integrity. ​

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.

Hello and welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. I believe each person has a unique story, shaped by experiences, that influence how we see ourselves and the world around us. Sometimes, these experiences can create perceptions that feel out of sync with who we truly are. My approach is grounded in the belief that you have an inner capacity for healing, and I’m here to help you connect with it—offering guidance, support, and a steady presence as you move toward deeper self‑understanding and growth. In our work together, you’ll have a warm, compassionate, and collaborative space where trust and mutual respect form the foundation. You don’t have to walk this path alone—I’ll be by your side every step of the way. I am a clinical social worker specializing in mental health. I have over 20 years of experience working in mental health and social services. I specialize in working with trauma, anxiety, and depression, and have advanced training and am certified in EMDR therapy (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing). I have worked in several foreign countries in social services and with the military. I completed a Bachelor of Science, in Psychology/Biology at Texas Woman’s University and a Master of Science Social Work at the University of Texas at Arlington.

Hi there, I'm Cara—a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified EMDR therapist with over 20 years of experience. I started out in the health and wellness field, training both myself and others to excel in their pursuit of physical fitness. However, I soon discovered the importance of mental and emotional health. Many of the physically fit individuals I worked with were unhappy, stressed or lonely. Over the years, I have pursued extensive training to treat a variety of mental health issues and have accumulated a wealth of knowledge from each of the hundreds of individuals I’ve had the opportunity to work with. It is my calling and passion to join others on their healing journey.

I have been working with clients since 2017 in private practice as well as family advocacy centers. I opened the doors of McHam Family Therapy in 2024 so that new therapists had a place to practice their skills and offer affordable care to the community. I completed my degree in Marriage and Family Therapy through Abilene Christian University and now teach as an adjunct program clinical supervisor in their Marriage and Family Therapy Masters program. 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!

You might look like you’re holding it together on the outside, but inside you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure of yourself. Maybe you’re constantly second-guessing your decisions, stuck in people-pleasing patterns, or trying to make sense of relationships that left you feeling confused, dismissed, or emotionally drained. I work with women who are tired of pushing through and ready to understand what’s actually underneath their anxiety, self-doubt, or emotional exhaustion. Many of my clients have experienced emotionally unsafe or invalidating relationships, whether that showed up in family dynamics, romantic partnerships, or long-term relational stress that slowly chipped away at their sense of self-trust. You don’t need to label your experiences as “trauma” to belong here. If something shaped how safe you feel, how you relate to others, or how you see yourself, it matters. My goal is to help you feel more grounded in your body, clearer in your decisions, and more connected to who you really are. Therapy with me is collaborative, honest, and paced with care. You don’t need to have the right words or a clear plan. We’ll figure things out together. I offer in-person therapy in Dallas and virtual therapy across Texas.

Hi I'm Shanna my passion for this work comes from a deep conviction: it only takes ONE PERSON in ONE GENERATION to change THE REST OF THEIR FAMILY LINEAGE. I truly believe in the power of you, and I get fired up when a new client reaches out, ready to tackle their traumas and take control of their life. I’m here to help you make peace with the past, find strength in the present, and bravely step into your future. ‍My path to becoming a therapist began with a natural knack for mediation and empathy, stemming from my own experiences growing up in a dysfunctional family. I dove into graduate work at Texas Woman's University, driven by a simple truth: 'I loved people.' Through my own journey of healing via therapy, reading lot's of books, a loving relationship with God and 12-Step programs, I gained profound insights into transforming personal challenges into powerful catalysts for change. Now, as a business owner, I am a living testament to post-traumatic growth, and I live to see others turn the ashes of their past into a beautiful, thriving present. My therapeutic approach is highly personalized, molding a range of powerful methods to fit your specific needs. I work hard to pay attention to and appreciate what happens in the room – because so much is missed when the body is ignored. We believe the body speaks a language all on its own, and we work to give it a voice in the room to facilitate deeper healing.

Hi there! I'm Ashley :) I am passionate about providing trauma-focused, neurodiversity-affirming, culturally competent mental health care to clients of all identities. I specialize in treating "big T" trauma, attachment/developmental trauma or "little T," PTSD/complex PTSD, dissociative disorders, and addiction. Often my clients feel stuck in their symptoms, which hold them back from enjoying comfort in their daily lives. These symptoms could include panic attacks, dissociative episodes, feeling disconnected from others, or waves of sadness, all of which can lead to unhealthy self-medication.

Hello! My name is Alysse Shropshire. I founded my practice as a result of my personal journey and professional commitment to healing. I grew up in a turbulent and dysfunctional environment that all too often did not feel safe. I lived with anxious and perfectionist ideas that if I could just be perfect then nothing bad could happen to me. My formative years were spent walking on eggshells and being broken down until I believed that I was not good enough. ​In recent years, as I've navigated the challenges of infertility, I have come to recognize the profound emotional and psychological toll of reproductive trauma. The struggle of trying to balance ambiguous grief with maintaining hope for the future. The anxiety that comes with having complete lack of control. Unfortunately, I am not alone and mine is not a unique story. I started this practice with the intention to provide clients with access to all of the elements of therapy that have made such a difference to me in my own life. The only constant in life is change and change can be what you make of it! My personal testimony is that while healing can be long and arduous, it is well worth the effort to change your life from surviving to thriving.

I am a licensed therapist who believes that healing begins in a space where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted. I strive to create a nonjudgmental, emotionally safe environment where your experiences and feelings are honored as valid and meaningful. Whether you’re seeking an empathic ear to help you process life’s stressors or you’re ready to engage in deeper healing work, I will meet you where you are. My primary and preferred modality is EMDR, which I use to help clients process trauma, distressing memories, and long-standing emotional patterns in a way that is both structured and empowering. I also integrate experiential therapy, play therapy, solution-focused techniques, and narrative therapy, allowing our work together to be flexible, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. I believe therapy should not be one-size-fits-all, and I value approaches that honor both emotional depth and practical change. In our work together, you can expect compassion, honesty, and respect. I believe your feelings make sense in the context of your life, and they deserve space rather than judgment. Therapy with me is not about “fixing” you — it’s about understanding, healing, and helping you reconnect with your strengths, resilience, and sense of self. No matter where you are in your journey, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

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. With several years of experience, I am committed to helping you create positive changes in your life. You will receive consistent support and encouragement as we develop hope.

Hi, I’m glad you’re here. I’m an EMDR certified, licensed professional counselor who believes real growth starts with curiosity, compassion, and a little bit of courage. Therapy with me is more than just managing symptoms—it’s about building a life that feels balanced, resilient, and truly yours. Throughout my life, I have had a desire to help others. So, at the ripe of age of 50 I went back to graduate school to pursue my life-long dream of becoming a counselor. My unique blend of life experience, contemporary education, and a passion for helping others allows me to deeply understand and guide clients toward meaningful change. Here are some adjectives people use to describe me: caring, fun-loving, quirky, accepting, easy-to-talk-to, open-minded, compassionate, adventurous, warm, engaging, pleasant, tender-hearted, curious, empathetic. Clients often share that they “feel heard” and that “you get it.”
