Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Desoto, TX

As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP‐BC) with Radiance Psychiatry and Wellness, I take a whole‐person approach to mental health care. I recognize that emotional well‐being is shaped by many factors — physical health, stress, relationships, and life experiences — and I work with clients to address each of these areas.

I have experience supporting individuals with anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, and life transitions. My approach blends medication management with supportive therapy, patient education, and lifestyle‐based strategies. I strive to create a welcoming, culturally sensitive space where clients feel empowered, understood, and supported.

My goal is to help you build resilience, gain insight, and move toward a healthier, more balanced life.

Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, depression, grief, or self-doubt begin affecting your relationships, motivation, and sense of peace. You may be used to carrying everything on your own, showing up for others while feeling emotionally exhausted inside. I work with adults navigating stress, life transitions, loss, low self-esteem, and confidence struggles who want a space where they can finally feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment. As a bilingual therapist in Texas, I welcome clients from diverse backgrounds and believe healing begins with feeling safe enough to be fully yourself.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Texas with nearly 30 years of experience in the mental health field. I completed my Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology (1995–1997) at Mississippi College, graduating with Special Distinction. My experience includes work within psychiatric hospitals, the prison system, and specialized Christian‐based care through my internship at Charter Hospital in North Jackson, Mississippi where I served within the Rapha division. After relocating to Texas in 2001, I transitioned into managed care, where I spent almost 25 years conducting clinical reviews with psychiatric and substance abuse facilities nationwide, supporting treatment teams, and maintaining direct patient contact.

Hi, I’m Kara Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Texas, and the founder of Unfiltered Clinical Services. I specialize in working with individuals navigating complex life stressors, trauma, and system involvement, including those connected to the legal or forensic system.

My approach to therapy is real, direct, and grounded in clinical expertise. I create a space where you don’t have to filter your experiences, we work through them together with honesty, structure, and intention. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, or major life transitions, I help you build insight, emotional regulation, and practical coping strategies that actually translate into your daily life.

In addition to therapy, I also provide forensic-focused services, including competency-related support and evaluations. My background in correctional and forensic mental health allows me to understand the intersection between mental health and the legal system, and I bring that perspective into both my clinical and evaluative work.

I have extensive experience in crisis intervention, behavioral health, and working with high-acuity populations. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, more in control, and more aligned with the life you’re trying to build.

If you’re looking for a therapist who will meet you where you are but also challenge you to grow, I’m here for that work.

Seeking help can feel overwhelming, and I want you to know you do not have to navigate it alone. As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard and understood. I work with adolescents and adults facing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, stress, and other mental health concerns. My approach is collaborative and personalized, with a focus on listening well, building trust, and creating a treatment plan that supports your overall well-being. My hope is that every client feels respected, encouraged, and empowered on their journey toward healing.

My approach to therapy involves an interactive and collaborative style towards self discovery. I prefer to join in with my clients to achieve therapeutic goals that enhance their quality of life. I believe a therapy relationship is designed to facilitate the desired change or seeks to direct these efforts as appropriate for the client and counselor.

Hi! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with teens and young adults and families navigating anxiety, life transitions, and those “what am I doing with my life?” moments. I know reaching out for therapy can feel intimidating, so I aim to create a space that feels real, relaxed, and judgment-free. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just need someone to talk things through with, I’m here to support you. I also offer a bilingual and culturally aware space where you can show up fully as yourself.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and board-approved supervisor in Texas. I received my Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2017 from The University of Texas at Tyler. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the effects of past experiences that continue to show up in the present.

In my work, I focus on creating a space that feels steady, supportive, and nonjudgmental. Many of the people I work with aren’t always sure where to start. They may just know that something feels off or overwhelming. Together, we begin to make sense of those experiences in a way that feels more manageable.

Compassionate Care for all patients in a therapeutic and safe manner

As a fully licensed professional counselor in Texas, I have had the opportunity to work with many populations. Victims of domestic and sexual violence, those struggling with substance abuse, and those managing ongoing anxiety and depression are those with whom I have spent the most time. I prefer to demystify the counseling process and allow clients to be who they are during sessions. I don't want to put you in a box; I want you to feel validated and connected to the world you're in. I can see individuals, adolescents (15+), couples, and families.

As a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, I believe everyone deserves a safe space to be heard, supported, and understood. Reaching out for help can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to navigate life’s challenges alone. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, mood disorders, and other mental health concerns, and I strive to create a warm, relaxed, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel comfortable being themselves. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and focused on helping each person find balance, healing, and emotional wellness at their own pace.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) providing evidence-based, insurance-accepted mental health care to children, adolescents, and adults. I offer both psychotherapy and medication management, allowing for a comprehensive and integrated approach to mental health treatment.

My clinical work includes the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of a wide range of mental health conditions, including anxiety disorders, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, trauma-related conditions, and other psychiatric concerns. I believe effective treatment is highly individualized, and I work collaboratively with clients to develop care plans that align with their goals, preferences, and lived experiences.

I strive to create a safe, respectful, and non-judgmental environment where clients of all ages feel heard and supported. Whether you are seeking therapy, medication management, or a combination of both, I am committed to providing compassionate care that supports long-term mental wellness.

I believe healing begins when we feel truly seen, heard, and understood. With 23 years of experience working with children, teens, and adults, I offer a warm and supportive space where you can share your story without judgment. Together, we'll explore the challenges bringing you to therapy, identify your strengths, and work toward meaningful, lasting change. You don't have to do it alone—I'm here to support you every step of the way.
