Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Waxahachie, TX

What I would want clients to know about me is that I understand how heavy life can feel when you are carrying too much for too long. I often work with moms, caregivers, children, teens, and adults who are navigating anxiety, stress, overwhelm, life transitions, and the pressure to keep showing up even when they feel emotionally exhausted. If you are a mom who feels like you are always running, always thinking about what someone else needs, and slowly losing touch with yourself, this can be a space to pause, breathe, and begin finding your way back to you.

I also bring many years of experience in education and school counseling, which helps me support children, teens, and families with a practical understanding of how home, school, relationships, and daily responsibilities can impact emotional well-being. My goal is not to help you chase perfection, but to help you build more balance, clarity, confidence, and peace in your everyday life. Whether you are trying to feel like yourself again or trying to support a child who is struggling, you do not have to figure it all out alone.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I feel that a healthy mind is key to an overall wellbeing. I feel that therapy is a collaborative effort between myself and my client. I have been in the mental health field for the last 25 years. I have been a practicing therapist for the last 4 years. Although I have worked with a wide array of clients, I have primarily been working with adult males for the last couple of years. I have worked with first responders, ex-military members and special operations members, as well as many others.

Hi, I’m Nargis Ali, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Texas with over six years of experience in the counseling field. I hold a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and am currently pursuing my PhD in Counseling and Supervision.

I believe that healing begins when we feel truly seen, heard, and supported. In my work, I strive to create a warm and nurturing space where you can show up exactly as you are — no judgment, just understanding. Together, we’ll explore your experiences, uncover patterns, and move toward emotional healing and personal growth at a pace that feels right for you.

As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP‐BC) with Radiance Psychiatry and Wellness, I take a whole‐person approach to mental health care. I recognize that emotional well‐being is shaped by many factors — physical health, stress, relationships, and life experiences — and I work with clients to address each of these areas.

I have experience supporting individuals with anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, and life transitions. My approach blends medication management with supportive therapy, patient education, and lifestyle‐based strategies. I strive to create a welcoming, culturally sensitive space where clients feel empowered, understood, and supported.

My goal is to help you build resilience, gain insight, and move toward a healthier, more balanced life.

Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, depression, grief, or self-doubt begin affecting your relationships, motivation, and sense of peace. You may be used to carrying everything on your own, showing up for others while feeling emotionally exhausted inside. I work with adults navigating stress, life transitions, loss, low self-esteem, and confidence struggles who want a space where they can finally feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment. As a bilingual therapist in Texas, I welcome clients from diverse backgrounds and believe healing begins with feeling safe enough to be fully yourself.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Texas with nearly 30 years of experience in the mental health field. I completed my Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology (1995–1997) at Mississippi College, graduating with Special Distinction. My experience includes work within psychiatric hospitals, the prison system, and specialized Christian‐based care through my internship at Charter Hospital in North Jackson, Mississippi where I served within the Rapha division. After relocating to Texas in 2001, I transitioned into managed care, where I spent almost 25 years conducting clinical reviews with psychiatric and substance abuse facilities nationwide, supporting treatment teams, and maintaining direct patient contact.

Hi, I’m Kara Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Texas, and the founder of Unfiltered Clinical Services. I specialize in working with individuals navigating complex life stressors, trauma, and system involvement, including those connected to the legal or forensic system.

My approach to therapy is real, direct, and grounded in clinical expertise. I create a space where you don’t have to filter your experiences, we work through them together with honesty, structure, and intention. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, or major life transitions, I help you build insight, emotional regulation, and practical coping strategies that actually translate into your daily life.

In addition to therapy, I also provide forensic-focused services, including competency-related support and evaluations. My background in correctional and forensic mental health allows me to understand the intersection between mental health and the legal system, and I bring that perspective into both my clinical and evaluative work.

I have extensive experience in crisis intervention, behavioral health, and working with high-acuity populations. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, more in control, and more aligned with the life you’re trying to build.

If you’re looking for a therapist who will meet you where you are but also challenge you to grow, I’m here for that work.

Seeking help can feel overwhelming, and I want you to know you do not have to navigate it alone. As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard and understood. I work with adolescents and adults facing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, stress, and other mental health concerns. My approach is collaborative and personalized, with a focus on listening well, building trust, and creating a treatment plan that supports your overall well-being. My hope is that every client feels respected, encouraged, and empowered on their journey toward healing.

"I believe that therapy should be as unique as the person sitting across from me. With nine years of clinical experience, I’ve learned that a 'one-size-fits-all' approach rarely works. That’s why I integrate evidence-based tools like CBT, EMDR, and REBT with a holistic, solution-focused framework to create a proactive plan tailored specifically to you.

My career has been defined by serving those in their most vulnerable moments—from life transitions and developmental stages to veterans and families navigating the complexities of service to individuals fighting addiction and codependency. Whether we are utilizing 12-Step principles or processing trauma through EMDR, my goal is to provide a constructive, non-judgmental space where you can find a concrete path forward. I hold an MS in Counseling Mental Health and am dually licensed as a Professional Counselor (LPC) and Addiction Counselor (LCDC) to ensure you receive the most comprehensive support possible."

I'm Tracy Skripka, a Licensed Professional Counselor with 28+ years in education. I support children, adolescents, and adults seeking emotional growth and practical tools for life. I specialize in creating safe, empathetic spaces to foster connection and resilience. I collaborate with clients navigating learning differences, family dynamics, and life transitions, helping them build meaningful change through compassionate, tailored support. Whether working through trauma, improving executive functioning, or developing emotional regulation, my goal is to meet clients where they are and help them grown from there.

My approach to therapy involves an interactive and collaborative style towards self discovery. I prefer to join in with my clients to achieve therapeutic goals that enhance their quality of life. I believe a therapy relationship is designed to facilitate the desired change or seeks to direct these efforts as appropriate for the client and counselor.
