Our Response to COVID-19

We are aware that during this unusual time period that our services may need to be adjusted to meet client needs. In general, it has been our belief that face-to-face counseling is the most effective. In today’s world situation, however, we recognize some may prefer or need to stay in. In the light of this, we’re offering the option of telephone or encrypted telemed counseling to current and new clients. (These services are now offer through HIPPA compliant and encrypted services.) This option involves new clients filling out intake forms (links on first page of this site) and either faxing them to (817) 275-3720 or emailing them to our office at centerstaff@hotmail.com. Arrangement of payment method needs to be made with our office and we are glad to file insurance claims when appropriate. Credit cards are accepted. Our therapists are licensed in the state of Texas and we’re only offering this service to individuals in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.

Our offices are sanitized daily and staff will maintain the appropriate distance. Safety is very much our concern.

If you are an existing client, just call the office and let it be known that you prefer this method of getting therapy. 817-275-3617 Your therapist will call you to arrange a session time. If you’re a new client, Dr. Carol Doss will return your call. You can fax in your intake form(s), which will be given to your therapist.

We want to be of help to anyone we can during this time of anxiety and uncertainty.

When my husband was recently headed out on a bicycle ride with a friend, the guy remembered they’d gotten thirsty on their last ride.

“I GET WHAT YOU’RE SAYING.”

I’ve written many blogs about the importance of communication and of listening to your mate, but even when you try your best to listen, it’s not always seen that way. Just ask your partner.

TRUE LOVE – NOT ALWAYS PRETTY

I’ve been married for 35 years and I still like him, which I think gives me the right to discuss this topic, even if I weren’t a therapist. Just to be clear, you can love a person and not like him, so the liking part is pretty darned good. Valentine’s Day is the time of […]

I’M BETTER WITH YOU

When I got a fun, new car, a friend asked me for to take him for a ride in it. I did this, but it simply didn’t occur to me to offer to let him drive. I’m like that sometimes–clueless. I loved that others enjoyed the car, but it just didn’t occur to me to […]
