Find a Therapist in Dallas, Texas.

Underwood Counseling & Consultation, PLLC takes an approach to treatment that is an integrated wellness model. We have worked extensively in the treatment of performance based anxieties, co-occurring chronic health conditions, & severe mental health diagnoses as well as in the treatment of trauma & adverse life events. We use research supported treatments such as EMDR, CBT, ART & Family System therapy.

My approach to psychotherapy is rooted in fostering a therapeutic alliance built on trust, empathy, and active listening. I believe in creating a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in depth. Through a client-centered and integrative approach, clients will benefit from tailored interventions and techniques that address their unique needs and goals. I strive to empower clients to gain self-awareness, develop coping strategies, and facilitate personal growth.

My approach to therapy is not a quick fix or a band-aid approach. It is not self-help advice or executive coaching. It is a process of research-proven, emotional surgery that gets at the heart of your issues and heals them at their source. If you’re like many of my clients, you’ve conquered in the workplace and found success. And yet, you’re not at peace with your life. Whether it’s stress, trauma, addiction, strained relationships, or a lack of motivation, something needs to change. Often, my role is to help successful men get their hearts back. I can help you rediscover your purpose, reconnect with what matters, heal your insecurities, improve your relationships, and leave a legacy.

I offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which is a present focused psychotherapy and uses elements of traditional psychotherapy where the historical data is relevant to the present circumstances, thoughts and feelings that are being addressed. The client sets the agenda collaboratively with the therapist during each session. The client gains the tools over the course of therapy to use for a lifetime. Many clients see results quickly with CBT, and most see substantial results in 15 sessions.

My patients benefit from psychotherapy with me because I show them not only how to feel better but get better. Getting better means learning how they make themselves upset and how to stop doing this even when life and people are blocking them. I teach skills for directly changing self-defeating behavior. I give patients tools for self-direction and emotional responsibility. I send my patients emails to prompt them to think differently between sessions. I help them to transfer the skills I teach from my office to their home and work environments. I teach people how to maintain and extend treatment gains so that they do not need to be in psychotherapy forever.

Psychotherapy is about gaining self-awareness. When we can identify negative self-talk, we can begin to challenge it and replace it with healthy, positive self-talk. When we understand communication and relationship patterns, we can learn to set boundaries and create new patterns of behavior. When we learn that we are engaging in people-pleasing behaviors, we can explore why and then begin to seek validation from ourselves rather than someone else. Everyone has value.

Psychotherapy can provide a setting for you to sit, talk, think, and feel. As you do so in a supportive and understanding space, you will be able to develop more mature conclusions about your circumstances. For example, you might begin to see areas where you have relinquished your power and in so doing, reclaim your power. Psychotherapy provides a unique opportunity to identify your patterns, develop self-awareness, and make new choices.

Using psychotherapy, or talk therapy, we will work together to tackle a broad variety of mental and emotional difficulties. Psychotherapy can help reduce your mental health symptoms such as depression and anxiety. I will deploy psychotherapeutic skills to help clients function better, regain a sense of control, and improve their mental wellbeing.

The goal of therapy is to stop the behaviors that have had devastating effects on you and those around you and to create more of what you do want in your life; healthy relationships, meaningful time with family and friends, increased productivity at work, feeling comfortable in your own skin, and sustained peace of mind.

Psychotherapy is the use of psychological methods to help a person change behavior and overcome problems in a positive manner. Its aim is to help people understand the thoughts behind feeling anxious or depressed and addressing these thinking patterns. Psychotherapy will help you change behaviors and habits that are limiting you, to experiencing your fullest potential.

psychotherapy is a transformative process that offers people a safe and supportive place to explore thoughts, emotions, and experiences. As a trained therapist, I am here to partner with you on your journey to enhanced self exploration as we work to tackle the challenges and wins you have along the way. In my sessions, you can expect to feel validated and heard as well as challenged (in a good way) so that you can bring your best foot forward into work, relationships, and adjustments to change. I am eager to get to know you and find out what strengths you bring to the table!

Psychotherapy is collaborative effort between you and I, so that we can help you change your life. You bring your experiences and situations to me, and I give you feedback that can help you reach your goals. We will look at your thinking and I will show you how this impacts how you feel and the decisions that you make. We will also look at problems in your life and create solutions to these problems. Then we discuss how you can apply new decision-making patterns to other similar situations as they arise. Call or e-mail me today to set up a consultation to learn more about how psychotherapy can help you with your current situation and problems.

James Hillman once said, "We've had a hundred years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse." While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we over assume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.
