Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Irving, TX

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.

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.

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.

Clients describe me as someone who’s compassionate, but who will “tell it like it is.” I believe that most problems in our relationships and well-being come from unmet needs in childhood. I help my clients learn to heal through mindfulness, reparenting, and finding a sense of safety through Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) or somatic therapy. At the same time, we need to identify and challenge negative beliefs that we have about ourselves and the world. This is a process called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Through therapy, we can develop self-awareness, healthy boundaries, and assertive communication. These are skills we can all learn to help us feel better and work towards the life and healthy relationships we want.

As a board-certified, doctorally prepared psychiatric nurse practitioner, I treat a variety of mental health disorders using medication management as well as can incorporate psychotherapy within the session based on situational necessity. My focus is across the lifespan, including children and adolescents.

Hello, my name is Kristal, I have a Masters in Counseling psychology and I am currently a Licensed Professional Counselor. I graduated from Tarleton State University in 2017 and have experience with both inpatient and outpatient care. I specialize in Solution-Focused Therapy. which helps you to identify how to identify current issues and come up with solutions in order to move forward in life.

I believe that healing is not a one size fits all process. Every person arrives with a unique story, a distinct set of strengths, and their own way of making meaning in the world. I honor that individuality as I provide a therapeutic space where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered to grow at a pace that feels authentic to them. I believe in helping people and not fixing them because people aren't broken.

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.
