Dina Hijazi
Psychologist, PhD, CSAT
Hi all,
I’m Dr. Dina Hijazi, PhD, CSAT. My clinical work focuses on the holistic treatment of relationships—with both self and others. This includes supporting individuals, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, intimacy disorders, trauma, and addiction, always with a focus on emotional, psychological, and social well-being. With over 35 years of experience I'm sure I can help you.
My educational journey includes a Bachelor’s degree in psychology from Purdue University, a Master’s from Notre Dame University, and a Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin. Postdoctoral training in family systems therapy and trauma/addiction work was completed under the mentorship of Pia Mellody and Patrick Carnes. I also hold national certifications in Sex Addiction Therapy (CSAT), Multiple Addiction Therapy (CMAT), and training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).
Sharing this work with broader audiences has been deeply fulfilling—whether through The Meadows Lecture Series, The Dallas Free Lecture Series, or speaking engagements at universities, conferences, and schools.
I look forward to connecting with you.

Carrie Marchant LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I have worked primarily with youth and their families for well over 20 years, helping them learn emotion control, effective communication skills, and conflict resolution, and how to deal with other problematic issues as a criminologist. Families oftentimes find themselves needing more help than ever when dealing with youth who are in their turbulent teenage years. My specialty has been with youth of all ages, but especially teens, and their families. My real goal as a therapist is to help bring peace and hope to families who have experienced trauma and feel hopeless.
My interest in becoming a therapist was peaked because I had a tremendously positive experience with teachers, counselors, and others in the people-helping industry who made a vast difference in my life as an adolescent. I also had an incredibly therapeutic experience that impacted who I am today. I understand it takes courage to open your wounds and share your trauma with a stranger. I am a therapist with whom you will feel safe and comfortable because I am empathetic, compassionate, warm, and nonjudgmental.

Shareece Cannonier
Psychologist, PsyD
Are you feeling overwhelmed and emotional on the inside? You work hard to create the life you want, but you feel like it might fall apart at any moment. Do others view you as the strong friend or family member who saves the day, but there is rarely anyone who consistently shows up for you? You wonder if you’re a people pleaser, too hard on yourself, and why others don’t respect your boundaries. Is there past trauma that could be affecting your current relationships that you need to process? Unmanaged anxiety, depression, or unhealed trauma can leave you feeling dissatisfied with life.

Veronica Holmes
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Online therapy has been shown to be an effective form of therapy. While in-person therapy is more ideal, issues such as scheduling, traffic, and other constraints prevent in-person sessions from being a viable option.
The first session may feel a bit awkward. However, my clients find that once they get started, the virtual sessions don't get in the way of their treatment. I offer sessions on a secure network with therapists in mind. I work to be sure my client's feel as comfortable as possible virtually by reminding them to create a comfortable space for themselves, maybe having a box of tissues, etc. Therapy can be done in a closet, while parked in a car, or sitting at a park as long as there aren't distractions. Virtual sessions are a way to get your needs met without the usual obstacles.

Dr. Amy Hecht
Psychologist, PhD
I offer secure, confidential online therapy for individuals, couples, and families, making it easier to access support from the comfort and privacy of your own space. Virtual sessions allow for flexibility while maintaining the same level of care, thoughtfulness, and engagement as in-person work.
Online therapy can be especially helpful for those with busy schedules, travel constraints, or who simply feel more at ease meeting from home. I work to ensure that sessions remain focused, connected, and meaningful, even in a virtual setting.
For clients seeking family-building evaluations or time-sensitive services, online appointments also allow for quicker scheduling and efficient completion of the process without compromising quality.
