Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Waxahachie, TX

Hi, I’m a licensed therapist who helps people feel more grounded, supported, and in control of their lives. I have a strong background in clinical social work and training in evidence‐based approaches that support healing and real change. I specialize in anxiety, life transitions, relationship stress, and helping clients build healthier patterns. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and empowered.

My name is Jena Bennett and I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor for 13 years. I specialize in trauma and grief counseling. Currently, I work with individuals and married couples. I believe when people find help and healing there is a ripple effect of healing in our culture.

You've already taken the first brave step in your journey to healing. My areas of specialization are life transitions, trauma, depression, and anxiety. I practice from a whole person perspective and am certified in ketamine assisted psychotherapy.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC-S) with 30+ years of experience. I provide tools, ideas, perspective and encouragement toward your desired goals. I work with individuals and couples on issues such as life transitions, anxiety, relationships, depression, marriage intimacy and many more areas.

Hello, and welcome. I’m Teresa Draper, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I earned my Master's from Capella University, and I specialize in helping couples strengthen their connection and build a healthy foundation for the future.

Finding the right mental health provider can feel overwhelming, especially if you've tried therapy or medications in the past without getting the relief you were hoping for. My goal is to help you move beyond simply managing symptoms and toward feeling like yourself again.

I am a dual-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C) with over 16 years of healthcare experience. I specialize in treating adults with depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, insomnia, OCD, and treatment-resistant mood disorders. My advanced psychiatric training was completed through Monmouth University and Wilkes University, where I focused on Evidence-based psychiatric care.

I believe that effective treatment starts with understanding the whole person not just the diagnosis. Together, we'll explore the biological, psychological, and lifestyle factors contributing to your symptoms and develop a personalized treatment plan that fits your goals. My approach combines thoughtful medication management with practical therapeutic strategies that you can apply in everyday life.

For individuals whose depression has not improved after trying multiple antidepressants, I also evaluate and provide treatment options such as Spravato (esketamine) when clinically appropriate. My focus is always on finding the safest, most effective treatment based on your unique needs.

Patients often describe me as warm, approachable, honest, and solution focused. I strive to create a supportive, judgment-free environment where you feel heard, respected, and actively involved in your treatment decisions. Whether you're seeking help for the first time or looking for a new approach after previous treatments haven't worked, I'm committed to helping you build lasting emotional wellness and improve your quality of life.

I welcome clients to share their concerns and experiences in a setting where they can be heard and validated. Life can be hard, but relief and finding a place of peace is possible. Clients should contact me directly to schedule their sessions.

I am passionate about helping individuals realize that they have the ability to choose growth and freedom. I enjoy helping individuals find their identity, self confidence and the greatness within themselves that will allow them to achieve the growth that they want. I have experiencing helping individuals with depression, anxiety, life transitions, spiritual issues, grief and trauma work. I work primarily with adults.

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.
