Self-Esteem Therapists in Dallas

Elizabeth has over 14 years of experience working with children, teens, and adults in health care and mental health settings.

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 am an experienced clinical social worker with over 25 years in the helping professions and nearly 20 years in private practice. I work in depth with adults across many life stages and value a collaborative approach that feels thoughtful, grounded, and encouraging. Earlier in my career, I was a middle school English teacher. Reading the fairy tales my students wrote sparked a lasting interest in how people make meaning of their lives and how personal stories shape the way we think, feel, and act. Over time, this led me to pursue advanced training in psychotherapy. Clients often describe me as a good listener who is practical and reflective, helping them sort through what matters most and find a way forward that feels right to them.

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.

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.

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.

Whether you’ve lost a loved one or feel you've lost yourself, you're struggling with the question of “why” or “why me," you're heartbroken or the one who did the breaking, I'm here to help. I am dual licensed as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate and Licensed Professional Counselor Associate and receiving supervision from Diana Walla, MS, LPC-S, LMFT-S. I received my Master of Science in Counseling from Southern Methodist University’s CACREP-accredited program in Dallas, TX, which included completing my clinical sequence in a private practice setting working with individuals, couples, and groups experiencing relational and familial conflict, anxiety, depression, and grief. As a former D1 athlete and corporate executive of more than a decade, I have unique background and experience in high stress, demanding environments that I believe helps me serve and relate to many clients. There’s healing and hope for those ready to take action. Together we can improve your wellbeing and work towards achieving your therapeutic goals.

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 bring over a decade of experience helping couples and individuals create healthier, more fulfilling lives and relationships. I work with couples at all stages — dating, married, or long-term partners — who feel stuck in recurring conflict, disconnection, or communication breakdowns. 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.

Hi, I’m Linda! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with teens and adults navigating stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, family conflict, life transitions, and other various issues.

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!).

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 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 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.

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.

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 Leslie. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with formal training in counseling and several years of experience providing trauma-informed care to adults. I completed my graduate education at University of North Texas with a MS in Rehabilitation Counseling and became licensed in 2021. My professional experience includes work in private practice and clinical settings, supporting individuals with trauma histories, anxiety, depression, stress-related concerns, and life transitions. I prioritize ethical practice, continued education, and thoughtful, client-centered care. I’m additionally a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, Certified Narcissistic Abuse Specialist and Brainspotting Practitioner (Phase 4). I’m also Internal Family Systems informed. One very important detail to know about me is that I was in a near fatal car wreck that left me paralyzed from the waist down. I was seconds away from a blood clot shutting down my heart. So I do know what it’s like to survive a life I didn’t know what it would be. But now over 25 years later, I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I care deeply that my clients feel seen and heard. I identify as queer and am metaphysical, as well. I’m also known to watch documentaries on serial killers and neuroscience. I enjoy spending time with friends and my sweet kitty, PJ. All animals are welcome to virtual sessions! I get invested on how they’re doing too!
