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.

Relationships

Disconnected Connections

With as many communication options as you have now, you’d think connecting with others would be easier than ever. Texting, cell phones, MySpace and more. It’s not like most of the interactions that take place through these portals are brilliant. Sometimes, you just want contact with another human being. Relationships are complicated. Whether you are […]

Don’t Dis The In-Laws

You and your significant other had a huge fight and the two of you are hardly talking. Maybe he left and spent the night elsewhere; maybe you’ve been apart for several days or weeks. It may look like there’s large black cloud over the future and you two have issues you’re not sure how to […]

Time to Commit

Delaying a relationship commitment until you’re sure? You might want to rethink this. Rushing into living with the person you’re dating or marrying quickly can be a mistake, but the opposite can be true, too. Dating the same person for years with no real commitment smacks of unaddressed, unresolved issues or plain, old, knee-knocking fear. […]

Ready to Forgive?

Forgiving an offense or a breach of relationship can be healing to the victim, but rushing into forgiveness doesn’t make the hurt go away. It just goes underground and you still struggle to move forward with your life. Hatred and rage damage the person harboring those feelings. Going forward from that experience is important, but […]

Don’t Be a Distraction

Loving another person can be the hardest challenge in your life, particularly when the one you love—a mate, a child, or a friend—is making difficult choices. When these choices are positive in that person’s life, you cheer. When the choices are destructive, though, you can have a range of emotions that threaten to tear you […]

Intimacy and Intensity – Not the Same

Relationships might be very intense, but that doesn’t make them healthy. You can find yourself in an interaction that involves powerful jealousy, huge fights and amazing make-up sex. Nothing may make you feel as horrible or as terrific. You can find yourself flipped between two extremes. When it’s good, nothing is better. When it’s bad, […]

Arguing Over Stupid Stuff

Sometimes you argue with your mate about important, life-changing things, but sometimes it seems like you fight about nothing! Lots of couples can’t say exactly what they fight about. They get into big arguments and bicker, but when asked what they argue about, they can’t say. Many will claim they mostly argue about stupid things. […]

Hung Up Relationships

Relationships are hard. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. If theirs isn’t hard now (and it probably is—they’re just lying), it will be eventually.If yours is tough sometimes, It’s not just you. The hardest of all relationships is a sneaky kind that looks really easy, in the beginning. You may feel like you speak the […]

Relationship Conflict That Works

Aside from the make-up sex, arguing with your mate really sucks. The sad part is that the fighting doesn’t usually get anywhere. Most people don’t know how to argue effectively. Conflict can work for you. You just need to know how to do it. Resolving conflict can empower a relationship. Just think about your favorite […]

Breaking Up

Never say “if it’s this hard, it probably wasn’t meant to be” about your relationship. Don’t kid yourself. Relationships are hard. In fact, they’re probably one of the hardest things you’ll do in your life. Of course, relationships can be rewarding, fulfilling and a lot of fun, too. But they’re not always easy. If it […]
