Life can be challenging and, even with our best efforts, we can have difficulty sorting through our own challenges. Let us help. Sometimes, having an impartial listener can help. Whether you're anxious, depressed or trying to sort through relationship difficulties, our therapists are trained to give you our full attention and help you find the solutions that work for you.

We offer the options of in-person therapy, virtual counseling or telephone sessions to current and new clients. (Our virtual services are offered 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 also accepted. All our therapists are licensed in the state of Texas.

DON’T BE AFRAID (TO SAY GOODBYE)

I’ve always said that, as a therapist, I’m trying to work my way out of a job. The point of the whole thing is for you to get better, do better, feel better. And not need to come see me anymore. It’s really nice to have someone to listen to you–and this is a big […]

When my first child was born, I looked down at her and was immediately struck that she bore a great resemblance to her father. She looked just like him, minus the mustache.
