Postpartum Therapists in Dallas

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 have been seeing clients since 2016, and am a LPC supervisor. I opened LiveWell counseling, along with my husband, and 2019. Our first location is in Amarillo, and Dallas is our second location. I love Therapy! I love my clients! Creating a safe space for my clients gives me tremendous purpose. I’m a mom to three adult children, and a fairly new Dallas resident! I still commute to Amarillo to care for those clients of mine and manage the business.

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.

I earned my B.S. degrees in Psychology and Sociology from Texas A&M University (gig ‘em!) in 2019 and my M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Hardin-Simmons University in 2022. A little about me outside of the therapy room: I’m a proud ISFJ and Enneagram 6w5—aka “The Defender.” I’m a big reader and will often recommend both fiction and nonfiction books to my clients. When I’m not reading, you can find me spending time with my family, hanging out with my pup, crocheting, or planning my next trip (traveling is one of my favorite things!).

If you are struggling with emotional pain from life’s many difficulties, you have come to the right place. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, loss, or a difficult relationship, For over 20 years, I have helped clients get to more peace, joy and stability in their lives. 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!
