Our current and past life circumstances can often leave us with feelings of stress, anxiety, and sadness. These emotions can be confusing and difficult to manage and process. My goal is to come alongside clients to reach personal goals, using warmth, understanding, and acceptance. I will work with you, with you in the driver’s seat, to set goals, explore and gain understanding of yourself, process your emotions in a safe space, reframe negative beliefs about yourself, and find solutions that work for you. I enjoy working with clients with a variety of concerns including general anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues.
Hello, and welcome. I’m Teresa Draper, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I earned my Master's from Capella University, and I specialize in helping couples strengthen their connection and build a healthy foundation for the future.
I specialize in assessing and treating depression, anxiety, trauma, child welfare, adoption, family of origin complications, relationship concerns, attachment issues, and parenting concerns. I enjoy counseling individuals across the lifespan. I am in the process of becoming trained in EMDR for treatment of trauma and PTSD. I am also working on a Yoga Teacher certification as well.
I am a Dual Licensed LPC and LCDC. I specialize in substance abuse disorders, anxiety, depression and self-esteem issues. I especially like working with individuals that are seeking counseling for the first time. It is my desire to help you discover new ways of thinking and acting so you can gain freedom from thoughts or patterns that are keeping you stuck.
I graduated from the University of Texas at Tyler with a Master's Degree in Counseling and am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I spent the beginning of my career in mental health working at an MHMR, as well as with those struggling with addiction and eating disorders.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Dallas
Finding the right therapist in Dallas starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Whether you're seeking support for anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or something else, choosing a licensed provider — such as an LPC, LCSW, psychologist, or psychiatrist — who specializes in your area of concern can make a meaningful difference. Reading a provider's bio to understand their approach and style is one of the best ways to decide if they're a good match before your first session.
With thousands of providers practicing across the Dallas-Fort Worth area, narrowing your options can feel like a lot. Consider what matters most to you beyond specialty — things like whether you prefer in-person or virtual sessions, specific availability windows, or a provider who speaks your language. A free phone consultation, when available, can also help you gauge fit before committing.
Therapy in Dallas can be expensive without coverage, with sessions sometimes reaching several hundred dollars out of pocket. Using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to bring that cost down. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
