Grief counselors and therapists in Richardson, TX

Hi, I’m Stephen. I work with people who feel overwhelmed, pulled in too many directions, or stuck in cycles of anxiety and depression. Many of my clients are juggling work, relationships, and health while struggling to be kind to themselves. Therapy with me is a space to slow down, regain balance, and reconnect with what matters most.

I believe you deserve support that meets you with compassion and respect. Seeking therapy can feel intimidating, but it’s also a powerful step toward healing and growth. My goal is to help you feel supported as you work through the habits, patterns, and stressors that have been holding you back.

I’m Destiny Parker, a counselor, educator, and wellness advocate who believes healing happens when people feel seen, safe, and supported as their full selves.

In my clinical work, I support individuals who are managing stress, burnout, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the lingering effects of trauma. I have a particular passion for working with educators, caregivers, and helping professionals who often prioritize everyone else while quietly carrying their own emotional load. I also work with adolescents and young adults as they navigate self-esteem, peer relationships, identity exploration, and emotional resilience.

I believe everyone can improve their quality of life

As your therapist, my goal is to create a warm and welcoming environment to help you heal. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 13 years of experience in treating depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, stress, trauma, personality disorders and other mental health issues. I currently provide services to clients 18 years and older. I have experience in working with individuals, couples and families. I serve the LBGTQ+ community, young adults, college students, and older adults.

I specialize in helping individuals navigate complex trauma/CPTSD, social anxiety, relationship dynamics, and workplace stress. I work with both teens and adults to address anxiety, depression, perfectionism, work-life balance, and healing from childhood trauma or complex family dynamics. Therapy can help with overcoming fears in social situations, boosting motivation, reducing excessive guilt, and managing stress related to academics or work as well as address issues such as fears of abandonment, putting others' needs before their own, setting healthy boundaries, achieving personal goals, and processing past trauma.

Our practice has openings for in person and virtual appointments. We believe therapy can help alleviate distress in times of crisis, but is also important as a regular part of wellness. We accept several insurance plans via Headway as well as offer low cost self-pay options.

Welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 13 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I believe that prioritizing your mental health is key to finding happiness and stability in life. I know that reaching out for support can be one of the hardest steps. So, congratulations on being here!

If your child is having big feelings, behavior changes, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, depression, or challenges in relationships, you may be feeling overwhelmed and unsure what to do next. I work with young children, adolescents, and caregivers to help children feel more connected, understood, and supported. My specialty is early childhood mental health, with a focus on children from birth to age 12. I use play therapy, sandtray therapy, EMDR, and parent support to help children process difficult experiences, build emotional regulation, and strengthen relationships at home.

I have spent more than 25 years supporting young children and caregivers in settings focused on development, behavior, attachment, and trauma. Over the past several years, I have also served as a Mental Health Consultant, providing assessment-informed interventions and therapeutic support grounded in Child-Centered Play Therapy. My work is warm, relationship-focused, and developmentally appropriate. My goal is to help children and families feel safe, supported, and able to move toward healing.
