Hi, I’m Kelly—a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with a passion for helping women overcome anxiety, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and the weight of trying to do it all. My clients often come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stretched too thin, and unsure how to prioritize themselves without guilt. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to keep navigating it on your own. I specialize in supporting women across the lifespan who are tired of running on empty, questioning their worth, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. Whether you're adjusting to a life transition, managing the mental load of caregiving or work stress, or just feeling burned out by expectations (internal or external), therapy can help you find relief, clarity, and direction. I show up as my authentic self so you can, too. Clients often describe my presence as warm, calming, and down-to-earth—with space for real talk, humor, and meaningful healing. I hold a Master’s degree in Applied Psychology and certifications in anxiety and grief informed care. I’m committed to helping you navigate complex emotions, build resilience, and create lasting change. My goal is to make therapy a space where you feel safe, supported, and empowered to grow in ways that truly matter to you.

Hi! I'm Hannah Curtis, founder of LifeTalk: Child & Adolescent Life Skills Coaching. I hold a Master of Education from Southern Methodist University (SMU) and am a Master Certified Life Coach (MCLC) with additional training in Positive Discipline. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working with children, teens, and families in educational, mentoring, and coaching settings, and I've always been passionate about helping young people recognize their strengths and reach their full potential. LifeTalk was born from a simple belief: while schools do an incredible job teaching academic subjects, many children aren't explicitly taught the life skills they'll rely on every single day. Skills like emotional regulation, communication, resilience, executive functioning, confidence, decision-making, and healthy relationships often determine success just as much as academics. My mission is to help bridge that gap by equipping children, teens, and young adults with practical tools they can carry with them for life. I often describe this as building their "life skills toolbox"—because the more tools we have, the better prepared we are to navigate life's inevitable challenges. My coaching style is warm, encouraging, engaging, and highly individualized. I believe every child is unique, and my goal is to create a space where they feel genuinely seen, understood, and empowered to grow into the best version of themselves.

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!

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, 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.”

I’m Marilee, and as your counselor, I bring a lifetime of learning and experience with relationships to the counseling room. I am passionate about the marriage relationship and I know how critical it is to individual and family well-being. But relationships can be hard, even with the people you love.. I recognize the pain that comes from when our reality doesn't meet our expectations, and I love helping clients see new possibilities for their relationship. In addition to counseling, I have a Masters of Science in Family Studies and am an adjunct professor in the Educational Psychology department at the University of North Texas. Along with Parenting and Child Development, my favorite course to teach is Courtship & Marriage which focuses on relationships, and how they thrive when they are based on a foundation of trust, commitment, good communication, repair skills, and grace. It is this course which ultimately inspired me to pursue a second master's degree in Marriage & Family Therapy. Married for more than 3 decades, I am mom to four 'grown and flown' kids and “Rara” to 5 grandchildren whom I adore. When I’m not at work I enjoy pickleball, paddleboarding, home renovation, travel and spending time with friends and family.

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.

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.

If you’re not feeling like your best self right now—if sadness, anxiety, grief, or even hopelessness is weighing you down—please know this: you are not alone, and healing is possible. You deserve a space where your voice is heard, your story is honored, and your soul is safe. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I walk alongside adolescents, couples, and families through seasons of pain, growth, and transformation. Whether you're navigating life transitions, coping with grief, healing from trauma, or managing depression and anxiety, I bring both compassion and expertise to guide your journey. My foundation in trauma-informed care was shaped by my years as a School Counselor with Dallas ISD and further deepened through my work with the Children’s Advocacy Center of Collin County. These experiences taught me that healing is not a straight path—but a sacred one. In our sessions, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan that speaks to your needs. My schedule offers flexibility, including evenings and weekends because I know life doesn’t pause when we need help the most. Transformation doesn’t happen overnight, but with each step forward, you reclaim more of yourself. You are worthy of peace, joy, and the life you envision. Let’s walk toward that future together!

Together, we identify patterns, build insight, and develop skills that create lasting change. I also specialize in supporting young adults as they navigate anxiety, boundaries, friendships, dating, career pressures, and the many transitions that come with early adulthood. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or unsure of your next step, therapy can help you gain clarity and confidence. My style is collaborative, practical, and insight-driven. I aim to create a space that feels both safe and productive, where growth is possible and progress feels tangible.

Hello! I’m Kavina Hall-McLeod, though you’re welcome to call me Kavina or Ms. K. I’m a Licensed Psychotherapist dedicated to helping children and families navigate complex emotions, strengthen relationships, and move through life’s most challenging moments with confidence and clarity.

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.

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.

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 have experience and passion for working with the LGBTQ+ community. I believe we are a unique community that needs someone who can relate and walk alongside us.

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!

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.

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!).

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.

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.

Do you have a loud inner critic, carry guilt/shame, struggle managing anxiety/stress? Do you find yourself more reactive than you'd like to be, or find parenting can be a challenge? Do you take care of others but have abandoned your own wants and needs? Are boundaries hard? I get it. Me too. I can help you feel calmer, less reactive, more attuned to yourself. I can help you foster a healthier relationship with your child, based on connection instead of focused on consequences. I can help you understand yourself a bit more and learn to manage stress and anxiety so you feel more at peace, and learn to have more compassion. I’m curious about how messages from the past might play a role in how you show up, think, or struggle today. I’ll invite you to try new strategies and perspectives, tune in to what is happening in your body, & remind you how important your own selfcare is. I have experience working with trauma, anxiety, parenting, 2E, self-growth, relationships, and more. I’ve been a therapist for over 12 years, am married, a parent of teens, & have been on my own journey of growth & healing. I'm inspired by people who aren't afraid to be vulnerable, don’t have everything all figured out, & know that life can be messy & complicated as well as amazing. I am passionate about helping others feel seen, heard, & understood.

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.
