I would describe myself as warm, creative, and affirming. I am a somatic-based therapist trained in EMDR and Somatic Experiencing. In 2016, I earned my Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at the University of North Texas. I have worked with a variety of individuals in hospital and outpatient settings. I see clients between the ages of 13 and 75 and am a LGBTQIQA+ ally.
If you're a healthcare professional, first responder, pilot, or high-achiever who keeps it together for everyone else — but privately, things feel heavier than you let on — you're exactly who I work with. I'm a clinical psychologist with over 10 years of experience working with adults in medical settings and private practice. I help people navigate anxiety, depression, burnout, trauma, relationship stress, and the particular weight that comes with high-responsibility roles.
I also specialize in the emotional side of significant weight loss — including for people using GLP-1 medications like Wegovy, Zepbound, or Ozempic. Unexpected identity shifts, changes in your relationships, and complicated feelings about your body are a real part of that journey, and I can help you work through them. Whether you're in the middle of a hard season or you just know something needs to shift, my goal is for you to feel understood, respected, and not alone in it.
I have 20 years experience, person centered, trauma informed approach. EMDR Certified for trauma. Certified in CBT, MET, and COPSD. Masters Addiction Counselor. Combine Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and EMDR for holistic approach to trauma and negative core beliefs. Experienced PTSD therapist, including military.

Jerred P. White MA, LCDC, LPC. I earned my graduate degree from Amberton University with a major in Masters of Arts in Professional Counseling and Bachelors degree in Science of Business and Human Development. I attended the Institute of Chemical Dependency school and completed over 4000 hours of chemical dependency counseling in residential and outpatient treatment facilities to become a fully licensed LCDC. I have over 10 years of working with families, individuals, adults, and children.
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.
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 healing and growth happen best when people feel safe, accepted, and genuinely cared for. I love working with children, teens, and families, and I strive to create a warm, supportive space where clients can feel comfortable being themselves.
For children, I have advanced training in Child-Centered Play Therapy, which allows them to express feelings, work through challenges, and build confidence through the natural language of play. Often, children communicate much more through play than they can with words, and I enjoy helping them feel understood and supported in ways that fit their developmental needs.
Do you feel overwhelmed by stress, struggling to manage anger, or finding it hard to maintain healthy relationships? You may feel out of control in certain moments, stuck in patterns that keep repeating, or impacted by past trauma that still affects your daily life. I work with adults across Texas who are navigating PTSD, stress, anger or impulse challenges, and relationship or family conflict. Together, we create a space where you can better understand your reactions, regain control, and start building healthier patterns.


Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Searching for therapists in Mesquite starts with knowing what kind of support you want from therapy. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, populations served, and therapy styles that match your needs. A therapist who notes experience with cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, couples therapy, or support for adults and families may offer a clearer fit.
Mesquite has local therapy options, and nearby Dallas-area access can broaden your search. Virtual therapy can also give you more choices if office location, commute, or appointment timing matters. As you narrow your list, check whether each therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your schedule, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you understand how each therapist describes their style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Mesquite can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between virtual and in-person appointments when available. You can browse profiles, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
