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.

INFIDELITY DOESN’T JUST HAPPEN

K. from Kentucky is very distressed that he’s cheated on his wife with a woman he says he cares for, but not as much as he loves his wife. He’s going to confess this to his wife (he doesn’t know how or when), but fears this will break them up. Probably. Since they don’t live […]

OPPOSITE SEX FRIENDSHIP

Contrary to some opinions, men and women can be friends. Sex can be terrific fun, but that doesn’t mean that all possible sexual partners turn you on. Sometimes, you just like another person apart from any interest in seeing him naked. Men and women can be friends. This doesn’t usually work if they just broke […]

PLEASE DON’T LEAVE

It is a sad fact that relationships end. Sometimes with no obvious warning and sometimes with lots of break-up/get-back-together phases. Losing an individual who’s been very important in your life can be tremendously painful. If you’ve struggled through long, hard relationship battles, the end to it all can almost be a relief, but even then, […]

BLENDING FAMILIES

With relationships failing and adults later dating and re-mating, children frequently become an issue. Parenting has both it’s challenges and blessings, but what do you do when parenting problems spill into your relationship?

ALONE BY CHOICE?

Why give yourself the grief of one more failed relationship? Why not opt out on the whole thing and embrace personal isolationism? Dump the significant other search, let your kids(if you have any) go to the devil and live all alone? It sounds like a relief, if you’ve been beating your head against relationship walls. […]

PORN–THE DISCONNECTED CONNECTION

Looking at strangers doing sex acts can have an odd sense of intimacy to it. You’re watching erotic images which triggers your own arousal. It’s not exactly auto-eroticism because you’re not completely by yourself. You can get into lots of variations from just looking at images on your monitor or in magazines from having sexual […]

MAKING UP RIGHT

You’re starting to think about her calling without wanting to throw your cell phone out the window and the blow-up has blown over. Now, what? While it’s very tempting to snuggle up to your squeeze and pretend the whole thing never happened, this would be a mistake. The problem with letting bygones be bygones is […]

YOU DON’T GET TO TELL YOUR EX

Divorce is tough on kids, but parents who are divorcing get a real shock, too. While you might not think about this while you’re dealing with property settlements and child support, you need to realize that co-parenting with a divorced parent isn’t the same as co-parenting with a mate with whom you’re still involved. The […]

RELATIONSHIP POISON

If you want to kill your relationship, never resolve conflicts. When you argue, make sure you repeat your points over and over and never listen to his. When he’s talking, be thinking about what you have to say next. Get mad when he yells, and make sure you don’t hear what he’s trying to say. […]

YOU CAN’T MAKE IT WORK

It takes two people to make a relationship work, but only one to walk away. This might not seem fair when your heart and your life are on the line, but she doesn’t have to stay. Sometimes people leave, even when you’re trying your hardest. You may turn yourself inside out to keep her happy, […]
