I'm a LMFT with over 10 years experience working with at-risk youth, families and young adults. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns to include; anxiety , depression, life changes, family conflict and parenting issues. I also, have helped clients dealing with physical, emotional and sexual trauma, as well as young adults just starting out in their careers. I got into counseling because I wanted to help others. I realized at a young age people felt comfortable talking to me about their problems. In life, no one is immune from trials and tribulations. However, I believe every hurdle we overcome makes us that much stronger/ confident. I use both CBT -Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Humanistic Therapy with my clients. I use CBT because I believe we can always restructure how we see the world and make changes in our behavior for the better. Also, Humanistic Approach-I’m an Existentialist, because I believe we are human and we make mistakes. Just because we go down one path and it did not work, out, does not mean we cannot turn around and take another path that is more fulfilling/ rewarding. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I am a warm, engaging and compassionate therapist . I do not believe in stigmatizing or labels. If you are seeking therapy you have already taken the first step. Give me the opportunity to support you on this journey.

Hello Better Help community! My name is Christina and I have been in the mental health field since 2012, providing outpatient therapy since 2014. I am fully licensed in North Carolina as a Clinical Social Worker. Prior to that I was practicing in Michigan, where I am originally from. I received my Masters degree from University of Southern California. My passion is to help empower people by assisting them in the process of overcoming personal barriers and discovering their own strengths so they can live a fulfilling and healthy life. I have experience working with a variety of populations affected by various mental health and interpersonal challenges. I take an eclectic approach which is trauma-informed and strengths-based. I have worked with individuals, couples, families and groups. I facilitated several weekly groups which were psychoeducational in nature including trauma, depression, anxiety, psychosis, and co-occurring substance use and mental health. I have extensive experience with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and incorporate many elements from Dialectal Behavior Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. My goals are to assist people in developing skills to manage symptoms more effectively while shifting their focus to accentuate their strengths to help them achieve life goals. I have worked in a variety of settings including community mental health, mental health clinics, primary care settings, work in the community, as well as work with the court system on guardianship cases. Many of my clients have a history of trauma which continues to negatively affect their sense of self-worth, their feelings of safety/security with others, and their outlook of their future. My therapeutic style often incorporates a trauma-informed perspective because past trauma often continues to negatively affect individual attachments later in life. I feel so fortunate that we live in a world where technology allows us the opportunity to connect with individuals that may have been outside our reach before. I strive to provide the support and empathy to help empower others to make difficult but positive changes in their lives. You have already taken the first steps toward making changes in your life and I will be here to walk side-by-side with you on your personal journey.

Hi there, I'm Kim! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 14 years of experience in the social work field across various settings. This journey has shaped my understanding and compassion for building healthier mindsets and breaking generational cycles to sustain personal growth and balance. I provide a supportive space to help individuals navigate challenges and achieve lasting peace and purpose. My approach My therapeutic approach is client-centered, rooted in empathy, understanding, and collaboration. I utilize a blend of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to address thought patterns, solution-focused therapy to identify and build on strengths, and trauma-informed care to ensure a safe, supportive environment. My goal is to empower individuals to break cycles, foster resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change in their lives. My focus My client focus is on individuals seeking personal growth, healing, and balance in their lives. I specialize in helping those who want to break generational cycles, navigate life transitions, and improve their mental health. Whether you’re facing challenges related to stress, trauma, relationships, or self-esteem, I am here to provide support and strategies tailored to your unique needs and goals. My communication style My communication style is warm, empathetic, and supportive, with a focus on active listening and creating a safe, nonjudgmental space for open dialogue. I am very transparent and will guide you in a way that serves your goals. If lasting change is the goal, sometimes uncomfortable dialogue is necessary, but I assure you it will always be approached respectfully and with your best interests in mind. My journey to mental healthcare My journey to becoming a therapist started back in middle school when I became a peer mediator. That experience opened my eyes to how people navigate their emotions and relationships, and it gave me a chance to practice important skills like listening without judgment and helping others find solutions to their conflicts. I quickly realized how much I enjoyed being a support for people in difficult situations, and it sparked something in me—a desire to help others in a deeper, more meaningful way. Over the years, I’ve had moments in my own life that reinforced this path. There were times when I faced challenges or needed guidance myself, and I saw firsthand the power of having someone there to listen, offer perspective, and help me through tough times. I think these personal experiences played a big role in shaping my decision to pursue therapy. As I moved forward, I also found myself naturally gravitating toward roles where I could support others—whether through volunteering, mentoring, or just being there for friends and family. Every time I was able to help someone process their emotions or make sense of their struggles, I felt more certain that this was the work I wanted to do long-term. Eventually, I decided to dive deeper into the field. I pursued formal education and training, learning about psychological theory, therapy techniques, and ethical practices. Through internships and clinical placements, I got hands-on experience and really saw how therapy can transform lives. That solidified my passion for the field. Looking back, I can see how my own experiences, along with a strong desire to help others heal, guided me on this path. It’s been a combination of personal reflection, growing empathy, and a commitment to learning that has brought me to where I am today—a therapist always ready to support others in their journeys. My goals for you I approach goal setting with clients collaboratively, ensuring that the goals are meaningful, realistic, and tailored to their unique needs and circumstances. Together, we identify specific areas for growth, break down larger goals into manageable steps, and create a clear plan of action. I also incorporate regular check-ins to celebrate progress, adjust as needed, and address any challenges, always keeping the client’s values and desired outcomes at the forefront. My first session with you During the first session, clients can expect a welcoming and supportive environment where we’ll focus on building rapport and understanding your unique story. We’ll discuss your concerns, goals, and what led you to seek therapy, as well as review important background information to help me gain a clear picture of your experiences. I’ll also explain the therapeutic process, and answer any questions, and together, we’ll begin creating a plan tailored to your needs and aspirations.

My youngest is 17 and still lives at home but the other three have moved out and are working and building a life for themselves. I was a stay at home mom for 13 years and when my youngest went to kindergarten, I went to college. I went to school for seven years straight, obtaining my bachelor's degree in psychology and my master's degree in counseling. Upon completion of my required supervision hours, I obtained my full license and opened up a private practice. I taught myself everything I needed to know about business, taxes, book keeping, billing and coding and was a one man show for the first year. By the end of my first year, my practice had grown so large, I was overwhelmed with client and brought on another counselor and receptionist. This past summer, I added a third counselor to our group. I will be selling my practice this January and will be moving with my family across the country to North Carolina, where I am in the process of obtaining my license. I am excited to have this opportunity to help supplement my income after I sell my business and get settled in my new home. I work with a wide variety of individuals with a wide variety of problems. I specialize in domestic violence and couples counseling, conflict resolution, grief counseling as well as so many other issues that many people face.

How does the cost of an in-person therapist compare to BetterHelp?
The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US with most therapists is $100 to $200 per hour. These prices may be higher in Dallas due to a higher cost of living, and a limited number of therapists taking new clients. The price also depends on the type of provider you are looking for. See the following average prices for various mental health providers without insurance:
- With a psychiatrist: $150-$500
- With therapists: $100-300
- With a clinician: $100
While many psychologists in Dallas may not take health insurance, some in the state of North Carolina may work on a sliding scale, meaning they'll factor in your income and charge what you can afford per session. With a BetterHelp therapist throughout the state of North Carolina you can expect significantly more affordable options, with sessions ranging from $65 to $100 per week (billed every four weeks).

Is BetterHelp right for me?
One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a therapist is the validation and active listening they can provide. Your friends and loved ones may also be available to listen, but you may feel that they may lack the skills to provide objective guidance. Counselors are trained to respond to various concerns, symptoms, and mental health conditions.
Therapists in your city can support you toward a healthier emotional state, regardless of your mental health, life concerns, or healing needs. While supporting individuals in developing healthier habits, another good benefit of therapy in Dallas is having an understanding, safe space with a non-judgmental party who can support you through challenging experiences.
Many people have sensitive topics that they may feel ashamed to discuss with their friends or partner. A therapist can help you confront these concerns and open up through unique methods of support. There are also many types of therapy, where you may find you can express yourself through creativity instead of words with a psychotherapist.
With a lot of people in NC, therapists may be booked out with clients. Through the list of profiles above and others within BetterHelp's team, you may be able to find a psychologist within 24 to 48 hours.

Some simply don't feel the need to see a psychologist. However, some people may avoid attending therapy due to stigma or preconceived notions of what it might entail. Although psychologists often support people with mental health conditions, you do not need a diagnosis or specific condition. You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general feedback. A Dallas licensed clinical social worker may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.
Gaining a new perspective on yourself through various therapies might allow you to improve your self-esteem, work through relationships, and gain a better sense of your mental health goals. The success you may find with a counselor can be dependent on your process.

An experienced clinician can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing.
