Psychologist

Virtual & in-person • 8.2 mi away • Dallas, TX


Are you looking for a medication free treatment for ADHD, anxiety, depression, stuttering, developmental disabilities, or other brain related difficulties? Or, are you a high achieving student, professional or athlete who desires to enhance your performance in academics, athletics, or business? Everyone wants to have more effective, more efficient brain power. We want to perform at our personal peak, without the use of psychotropic medications. As a Licensed Psychologist and Board Certified Neurotherapist, I treat children and adults using brain training, and individual and family counseling techniques.


We teach the brain to regulate itself using EEG neurofeedback, as well as safe and subtle neurostimulation. While the brain is growing stronger and more adaptive, counseling is provided to assist with problem solving strategies and the cultivation of enhanced emotional and behavioral regulation.

Give us a call today so we may begin training your brain to function its peak performance. We have evening & weekend hours available. No student need miss any school.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 8.9 mi away • Plano, TX


Hi! I'm Kelley.

I graduated from Southern Methodist University with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Religious Studies. I earned my Masters degree from the University of North Texas's Counseling Psychology program.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor (LPC-S), Certified Eating Disorder Specialist-Consultant (CEDS-C), EMDR Certified, and have over 60 hours of training in Internal Family Systems (IFS). With more than a decade of experience under my belt in both treatment center and private practice settings, I am well equipped to help you heal your relationship with food and body image, reclaim your life from anxiety and trauma, and navigate the emotional challenges of PMDD and perimenopause. And if you appreciate a mix of humor, authenticity, and occasional swearing, we’ll likely get along well!
