Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Garland, TX

Life is hard and sometimes scary. We all need a safe place to get support and help. I am here to walk alongside you and navigate the uncertainty.

I have a BA in sociology from The Ohio State University and a MA in Mental Health Counseling from Northwestern University. I am an inclusive counselor, an LPC, in the state of Texas and a National Certified Counselor through the NBCC. I see see adolescents and adults specializing in trauma and addiction.

Hi! I’m Griselda Ruvalcaba, a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor; I bring nearly two decades of experience working with children and families, including over 15 years as a bilingual elementary school educator and several years as a school counselor in Plano ISD.

I specialize in working with children through Play Therapy, providing a warm, safe, and welcoming space where kids can express themselves, build confidence, and develop emotional regulation skills. My approach is child-centered, and I believe that every child has the capacity to grow when given the tools and support to navigate their inner world.

In my role as a school counselor, I’ve led individual sessions, group work, and classroom guidance lessons focused on emotional awareness, anxiety, grief, and building coping skills. I work closely with caregivers, teachers, and school staff to support each child holistically—academically, socially, and emotionally.

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.

I believe that therapy should be tailored to each client individually as it is not a “one size fits all" solution. Whether or not you have a “diagnosis”, therapy is incredibly important and is a space where you get to talk about your everyday stressors or your major traumas. It’s up to you. I am dual licensed in Texas and New York.

My name is Bernard Kofi Marfo, a Board Certified Family Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with Hope Psychiatry & Associates located in Frisco Texas. My practice is licensed in IA, AZ, & WA. I have diverse clinical background in critical care, mental health consults, and medication management. I look forward to be part of the team helping you to get your life back and living happily.
