Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Garland, TX

You may be used to carrying everything on your own. From the outside, it can look like you're managing just fine, but internally you're exhausted from anxiety, past experiences that still affect your relationships, family conflict, or a struggle with substance use that's become harder to ignore. Asking for help isn't easy, but you don't have to figure everything out by yourself. I specialize in helping clients navigate substance use and addiction, trauma, men's issues, family issues, and relationship issues so they can build healthier relationships, regain confidence, and create lasting change. I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors, believing that meaningful progress begins with honest conversations, practical support, and a space where you feel respected, understood, and challenged to grow.

I believe therapy works best when you feel understood, respected, and never judged. My approach is collaborative and practical, helping you develop skills that you can use outside of our sessions rather than simply talking through problems week after week. I primarily use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), an evidence-based approach that helps people respond differently to difficult thoughts and emotions while taking meaningful action toward the life they want to build.

Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, or overwhelming stress, my goal is to create a space where you can be honest about what you're experiencing and feel supported as we work toward lasting change. I strive to balance compassion with directness, offering both validation and practical strategies to help you move forward in a way that aligns with your values.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to supporting children and adolescents as they navigate depression, anxiety, and life’s challenges.

If you've been struggling with anxiety, depression, addiction, anger, or behaviors that keep getting in the way of the life you want, you don't have to figure it out alone. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC) with 18 years of experience helping people rebuild their lives through criminal reentry. Today, I work with children, teens, adults, and couples who are looking for real change. Over the years, I've learned that no one is defined by their past, and I believe every person is capable of growth when they're given the right support.

I’m passionate about helping people who often feel misunderstood or overlooked — especially those navigating substance use and mental health challenges. Over the years, I’ve seen how stigma can prevent people from seeking help, and I strive to create a safe, judgment-free space where clients can feel comfortable being themselves.

I am an eclectic therapist that combines emotion-focused strategies with psychotherapeutic evidence-based approaches. The underlying principles in her approach are that treating anxiety, depression, relationship dysfunction, self-esteem and more can be traced to experiences, beliefs of shame, trauma, and other negative core beliefs in an individual. Finding out these aspects of a person’s life, naming them, and working through them are components of her counseling process.

You don't have to face life's challenges alone. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, struggling with the effects of trauma, navigating depression, or trying to better understand ADHD, therapy can provide a safe space to heal, grow, and move forward with confidence.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I work with teens, young adults, and families who are experiencing emotional, behavioral, and relationship challenges. I have been working with teens for 10 years in the juvenile system. I started off as a supervision officer in juvenile detention in the long-term program. I moved position to case manager in juvenile probation. Now I am a counselor for Juvenile probation. I understand that every person's story is unique, and I believe meaningful change begins with feeling seen, heard, and understood. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where you can explore your experiences, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools for lasting change.

Whether you're a teen navigating life's pressures, a young adult adjusting to new responsibilities and transitions, or a family looking to improve communication and connection, I am committed to meeting you where you are. Therapy is a collaborative process, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside my clients as they discover resilience, gain insight, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Taking the first step can feel intimidating, but you don't have to do it alone. When you're ready, I'm here to support you on your journey toward healing and emotional well-being.

I have a passion for helping people navigate life's challenges. Seeking help can feel like a big step, but it's also a powerful one. I offer a collaborative and nonjudgemental space for discovering strengths and with helping you feel empowered.

Hi, I’m Stephen. I work with people who feel overwhelmed, pulled in too many directions, or stuck in cycles of anxiety and depression. Many of my clients are juggling work, relationships, and health while struggling to be kind to themselves. Therapy with me is a space to slow down, regain balance, and reconnect with what matters most.

I believe you deserve support that meets you with compassion and respect. Seeking therapy can feel intimidating, but it’s also a powerful step toward healing and growth. My goal is to help you feel supported as you work through the habits, patterns, and stressors that have been holding you back.

I believe everyone can improve their quality of life

You should know that I truly care about who you are, not just the symptoms you’re experiencing. I understand that reaching out for mental health support can feel intimidating, especially if you’ve ever felt judged, misunderstood, or dismissed in the past. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and respected from the very first conversation.

I approach every person with compassion, patience, and curiosity. I take the time to understand your story, your stressors, and what matters most to you, so your care is never one-size-fits-all.

Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming. I aim to create a safe, collaborative, and grounded space from the beginning. I meet clients where they are and move at a pace that feels manageable and respectful.

I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, trauma, addiction, and relationship challenges. I also specialize in complex and developmental trauma.

I support clients in integrating their spiritual and cultural values into therapy when desired and clinically appropriate. I was born in New Orleans and bring a culturally informed perspective shaped by my Latina, Indigenous, Christian, and Sephardic Jewish backgrounds.

I became a therapist because I have a deep commitment to helping people recognize and build their own strengths, especially during periods of feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. I understand that seeking support takes courage, and I work to create a space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported throughout the process.

I earned a Master of Social Work (MSW) and PhD from Tulane University, as well as a Master of Public Health (MPH) from Tulane University’s School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Louisiana and Texas, and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Minnesota.
