Therapists in Forney, Texas TX
Dawn Nelson
Counselor/Therapist, LCSW-S, ACSW, SAP, CART
I am caring and non-judgmental; I realize that talking about problems can be difficult; however, clients find that sharing their concerns with an objective therapist enables them to progress to solutions quickly. I recognize that people seek therapy when what they have tried previously did not work.

Rachel Burleson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Everyone thinks you have it all together. You’re a high-achiever, responsible and driven. However, those nagging inner voices tell a different story. They love to tell you that you’re not good enough and love to point out where you’re falling short. Perfectionism, people-pleasing and over-functioning has kept you going, but you’re exhausted. All you want is to feel seen, heard and acknowledged, but it’s hard to prioritize yourself and communicate your needs. You might not even know what they are at this point.
You’re done living up to everyone else’s expectations, and you’re ready to start living on your own terms. You want to set boundaries without feeling guilty and focus on creating the life you deserve. You crave authenticity, creativity and freedom, and you’re courageous enough to chase after it. I am here to help. Schedule a free consultation call today to see if we're a good fit.

Meena Jeanes
Registered Social Worker, LMSW
I believe that all humans are capable of growth and that each person possesses the strengths and skills to overcome life’s obstacles. In difficult times, understanding and accessing those strengths can be very challenging. My goals as a therapist are: to provide you with a safe space to tell your story, to support you as we work together to identify challenges and create goals, and help you tap into your strengths and skills to reach those goals. I focus on creating a continually supportive environment for each client and recognize that each client is the expert in their own life.

Erica Brown
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
You put a lot energy into trying to please others and make sure their needs are met. You silence your own needs and find it difficult to say no or set boundaries. You find yourself overwhelmed with supporting everyone else and maybe lose your cool from time to time when you don't receive the support you need. The guilt and shame you experience from these minor (or major) blowups pushes you back into silence and you're caught in a vicious cycle. You feel invisible, alone, and disconnected from those around you. You're ready to make a change, to figure out how to use your voice, you're just not sure how or where to start. Reach out to schedule a free consultation and let me help you take the next step.

Jamie Heavey
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, ATR
As an exclusive licensed professional counselor and registered art therapist, I provide a unique and personalized approach to mental health that combines the power of talk therapy with the restorative benefits of nature walks. Welcome to my counseling and art therapy practice, where emotional healing meets the great outdoors.
My passion for helping individuals overcome emotional challenges comes from my own personal experiences. Through my own journey of healing and self-discovery, I discovered the transformative power of nature and its ability to promote relaxation and healing. This inspired me to integrate nature walks into my counseling and art therapy practice.
At my practice, I work with individuals who are experiencing a wide range of emotional challenges, from anxiety and depression to relationship issues and trauma. By combining traditional talk therapy with the restorative power of nature walks, I help clients to reduce stress, gain self-awareness, and develop new coping skills.
As an LPC and art therapist, I provide a supportive and confidential space for clients to express their thoughts and emotions. Through the use of various art materials and techniques, clients can explore and express themselves in a creative and non-verbal way. Nature walks are also incorporated into therapy sessions, allowing clients to connect with nature and experience its restorative benefits.
I offer individual and group sessions, tailored to each client's unique needs and goals. Whether you're new to therapy or have prior experience, I provide a welcoming and non-judgmental space for everyone. Together, we can embark on a journey of self-discovery and emotional healing, while surrounded by the beauty and healing power of nature.
If you're ready to take the first step towards a brighter future, I invite you to contact me today to schedule a consultation. Let's work together to help you achieve emotional healing and personal growth, while experiencing the restorative power of nature.

Elizabeth Starnes
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S, ATR, REAT
My approach is to be client-centered, meaning move at your pace and respect your process. Change is so difficult otherwise you wouldn’t be considering reaching out for help. I do not pressure clients nor do I set the agenda. You decide the direction of the session. You decide your long term goals. My role is to be present with you, to reflect any patterns I hear, and to help you challenge any stories that are repeating and causing you pain. I have been described as authentic, warm and empowering by my clients. My areas of interest are trauma/PTSD, anxiety, grief/loss, self-esteem and life transitions. My greatest joy is witnessing a client find relief from trauma and feel empowered.

Sarah Epstein
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Sarah is now accepting new virtual and in-person clients for February 2023!
My clients are caregivers who feel anxious, depressed, and utterly burned-out from giving so much of themselves. They often identify as the peacemakers in their families and friend groups. Many lived through childhoods where they were the "mature" child and were expected to be low maintenance. Many of my clients struggle chronically with family relationships. Many struggle to identify and go after what they want professionally and personally. They may struggle to separate their wisehs from what is expected of them or will make them look impressive.
My clients also come in as families wanting to work through long-standing conflict and issues that keep them interacting in predictable, patterned ways.
Finally, I treat trauma and emotional distress using EMDR therapy.

Ryan Holliman
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC-S
Therapists can be stuffy and uptight. I know I’ve been to some of them. When you’re in the office with one of them, you can feel yourself squirming and thinking, “When can I get out of here?” When you see me, you get a real human being instead of a therapy robot that strokes its beard and asks, “How did that make you feel?” at semi-regular intervals.
I have a sense of humor, and I know that you sometimes need a laugh during talking about heavy things going on in your life. I might use a metaphor from your favorite TV show to help you get some insight into what’s going on in your life. And I’m happy to share my story to help you on your journey.
I am also deeply committed to therapy that works. I once worked at a clinic where a client was referred to us after spending four years and $40,000 on psychoanalysis – with little to no results. That’s a story that breaks my heart to this day.
My goal from day one is to get you to fire me. In the very first encounter you have with me, I ask one of the most important questions in therapy, “What would have to be different in your life for you to say, ‘I don’t think I need therapy anymore.’” Once we answer that question, we plan our way backward and continually move you toward your goal.
