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.

Adolescent Transitions

counseling-teen-alone

The transition from being a kid who goofs off with friends and doesn’t worry about tomorrow to being an adult who pays the bills and votes, is huge. Parents love keeping their kids kids, but what happens when they graduate from high school? Do they get a job or go off to college? What college a adolescent goes to, how they study(or don’t!) and how they choose the career they’re going to embrace as a young adult–its all about transitions.

This shift from child to adult may be one parents and kids are not eager for, but it begins when adolescents enter high school. Many choices lie ahead. Most kids don’t get this and don’t realize that when they enter high school, their grades start really counting. This major life transition can be challenging–for parents and teens. All at once, it seems, adolescents have scary lifestyle options–freedom to choose destructive relationships and bad behavior. Parents may want to keep them on a close leash, but that doesn’t help kids become responsible adults. Getting professional help can take some of the heat off parents and can give teens a clearer view of the choices they’re making.
