Dr. Kimberly Kerksiek
Hello and welcome! I am a licensed therapist with over 18 years of experience in the mental health field across private practice and community settings. I approach therapy from a systemic and client-centered perspective, and utilize a variety of approaches to tailor therapy to the needs of each client. I have been fortunate to work with a very diverse population of individuals and couples with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, life transitions, substance abuse/recovery, LGBT+ issues, and trauma. I have training in multiple methodologies, including narrative therapy, Gottman Method Couples Therapy, trauma-focused therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy. My therapeutic approach is collaborative and empowering. Throughout the therapy process, I strive to create an accepting environment so each client feels comfortable processing personal issues or concerns. This, in turn, helps each individual tap into his or her own strengths and achieve desired growth. Reaching out for help can be difficult, and the therapy process can often be challenging. Through working together, I believe you can achieve your goals, overcome obstacles, and ultimately thrive in your personal endeavors. I look forward to working with you.

Dr. Carolyn Greenleaf
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Texas. I've worked as psychotherapist and crisis interventionist in the Dallas Metro area since 1979. I work with clients presenting with a broad range of issues, including depression, anxiety, childhood abuse, marital and family problems, trauma and stress disorders, post-trautic adjustment disorders, and bereavement. My counseling style is interactive and straight forward. Person-centered and cognitive behavioral theories of psychotherapy are my primary approaches to treatment. Person-centered therapy is used to build and maintain a healthy therapeutic relationship and cognitiv behavioral therapy is used to explore and expose destructive self-defeating thinking and coping behaviors. I also believe humor is the "spoonful of sugar" that helps the medicine go down. Clients tell me I am a kind person. I appreciate that because I genuinely care about others and want to help them when I can.

When we want to change, developing emotional awareness helps the healing process. I have held space with my clients to discover this for 18 years using a variety of techniques from Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavior Therapy to Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Sometimes who we need is a collaborator and coach and at other times someone to validate our experience and I will be this for you. I believe the quality of our working relationship is essential to the quality of your outcomes and we will make sure to incorporate this feedback. Ultimately I would like you to say everything. Many of the people I have worked with over the years have had experiences with substance use or feeling marginalized by how they identify. Together we will develop strategies towards resilience and steps toward change.

StaceyAnne Charles-Polycarpe
Hello. My name is Stacey Anne Charles-Polycarpe. I am a bilingual (English/Creole) Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Florida and Texas. I have over 9 years of counseling experience working with a diverse population with a variety of concerns, such as depression, anxiety, grief and loss, ADHD, bullying, academic concerns, parenting issues, and relationship issues. Moreover, I have supported and assisted those who have experienced emotional and/or physical trauma. My approach to therapy is with compassion and acceptance. My treatment approach combines, cognitive behavioral, solution- focused, humanistic, and psychodynamic therapy. However, I am open to adapt to the needs of each unique individual during treatment. I have extensive experience working with at risk youth, social services, foster care, and homelessness. I have training in Trauma-focused CBT, motivational interviewing, and play therapy with a certification in Infant Mental Health-Attachment Therapy. I truly believe individuals have a desire to be their best self; however, life and its many challenges may have you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and stuck. While incorporating compassion and acceptance in therapy, a person’s guards and self- defensives begin to decrease; therefore, true healing and introspective work can begin. Congratulations, on taking the biggest step toward your wellness journey, please allow me to support you on your route. Look forward to working with you. All My Best,
