Grief counselors and therapists in Midlothian, TX

Hi, I’m Macheda, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I work with adults navigating anxiety, stress, grief, relationship challenges, and life transitions that can leave you feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or uncertain about what comes next. Many of my clients are used to being strong for others but privately feel stretched thin, disconnected from themselves, or unsure how to keep carrying everything they’ve been holding. Therapy can be a space to pause, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and begin moving forward with greater clarity and self-understanding.

Through my experience in healthcare and individual settings, I’ve supported people and families during some of life’s most challenging and vulnerable moments. As an immigrant, I also understand how culture, identity, family expectations, and lived experiences can shape the way we see ourselves, relate to others, and navigate change. I recognize that emotional struggles do not happen in isolation, and I take care to understand the full context of your experiences rather than focusing only on symptoms.

I believe mental health care works best when it feels like a partnership. I take time to listen, understand your experiences, and involve you in every step of your treatment plan. My goal is to create a space where you feel respected, heard, and supported while we work together to find the right tools and strategies to help you feel more stable, confident, and hopeful about the future.

When anxiety, depression, mood changes, or emotional stress begin to interfere with your daily life, it can feel like you're carrying more than you were ever meant to carry alone. You may be tired of simply getting through the day and ready for a clearer path forward. My goal is to provide a supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and understood. Together, we'll uncover what's contributing to your struggles and create a plan that helps you regain balance, build confidence, and move toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s degree in Community Mental Health Counseling from Sam Houston State University. My clinical training includes Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, and Problematic Sexual Behavior- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Adolescents (PSB-CBT-A). Whether you are seeking support for past experiences, current stressors, or personal growth, I am committed to helping you feel empowered and understood throughout the therapeutic process.

If you're feeling overwhelmed by trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, or bipolar disorder, you do not have to carry it alone. Therapy can be a place to feel heard, understood, and supported while you make sense of what you've been through. Together, we'll focus on helping you feel safer, more grounded, and better equipped to move through life with confidence and hope.

If you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, struggling with ADHD, managing stress at school or work, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, you're not alone. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling emotionally exhausted, frustrated, or unsure how to move forward. Others are navigating family conflict, life transitions, low self-confidence, or challenges managing emotions and daily responsibilities.

Clients often describe me as warm, approachable, and easy to talk to. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I provide a supportive space where you can feel heard and understood while also being challenged to grow. My goal is to help you better understand what's getting in the way, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools that help you feel more confident, capable, and in control of your life.

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist whose work is grounded in evidence-based, compassionate care. I completed advanced graduate training in clinical psychology, followed by supervised work in outpatient and higher-acuity settings, where I treated adults and adolescents with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship difficulties.

In my practice, I primarily use approaches like CBT, ACT, and trauma-informed therapies, integrating them in a way that’s tailored to each person rather than one-size-fits-all. I pay close attention to cultural and contextual factors, and I use measurement-based care so we can see whether treatment is actually helping you over time.

Clients often describe me as understanding, direct, and collaborative: I’ll bring structure and clinical expertise while also respecting your pace and values. I work with individual adults (and in some cases teens) who are dealing with issues like chronic stress, perfectionism, identity and life transitions, grief, and the impact of past traumatic experiences.

My goal is to provide a space that is both validating and change-focused; somewhere you can be fully honest, feel understood, and also develop practical skills to live in a way that feels more aligned with who you want to be

I am passionate about helping people feel seen, heard, and supported as they navigate life's challenges and discover their inner strengths. My approach is to create an authentic and individual relationship with my clients so they can explore their thoughts, feelings, and hopes without judgment.

I’m a caring clinical social worker with 25 years of experience helping people develop coping skills to navigate life’s ups and downs. I’m dedicated to creating relationships that provide a safe space for growth and change. I’m passionate about exploring the whole person, considering how our physical, mental, and emotional health connect with our social surroundings, environment, and sense of purpose in life.
