Dina Hijazi
Psychologist, PhD, CSAT
Trauma can leave lasting emotional, psychological, and physical effects that impact daily life, relationships, and self-worth. Whether you're dealing with the aftermath of a single event or complex, long-term trauma, I provide a safe, supportive space to begin healing. Using trauma-informed approaches such as EMDR, somatic awareness, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), we work to process painful memories, reduce symptoms of PTSD, and restore a sense of safety and control. Healing is possible—and you don’t have to carry it alone.

Daniel Gowan
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-S, LCDC, CSAT
Trauma can change how we see the world—and ourselves. Whether from childhood, combat, abuse, or something else, healing is possible. Traum can be with a capital T (Trauma) or lower case t (trauma). Both impact us greatly! With a trauma-informed, spiritually sensitive approach, I help people move from survival to restoration at a pace that feels safe and respectful.

Dr. Jacqueline Bentley
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Do not let your past dictate your future. Many of us experience traumatic events that can lead to Post traumatic stress disorder or deal with various symptoms of PTSD. After experiencing a trauma, our mind can be triggered by a number of people, events, places and things, which activate our "fight or flight" response. It is best to deal with trauma head on, no matter how scary it may seem. My approach to dealing with trauma is to help you identify and cope with triggers you may be experiencing (knowingly or unknowingly) and learn to more effectively manage your behaviors and emotions related to the traumatic experience.

Dr. Diann Sanford
Psychologist, Psy.D, LP, LPC
Many individuals have experienced trauma and PTSD but have not received treatment. Some individuals only experience a few trauma or PTSD symptoms, and do not meet the requirements for a full diagnosis; yet their symptoms significantly interfere in their personal well-being, life, marriage or other relationships. Drawing upon many evidenced based approaches, I will tailor a therapeutic solution that fits you and your circumstance to help you heal, let-go, and come into a new way of being.
This will allow you to become fully functioning in your own life, marriage or relationship. Many of my clients have been victims of rape, violence, or have experienced the hostilities of war and are seeking a new approach to treatment. They want to be free of the intrusive and unwanted memories that impede their present health.

Dayna Nelson, PsyD, LP
Psychologist, PsyD, Licensed Psychologist
EMDR therapy is an integrative psychotherapy and uses a technique called bilateral stimulation to repeatedly activate opposite sides of the brain. Dr Nelson uses EMDR to facilitate the bilateral stimulation. EMDR seems to help the brain reprocess the trapped memories is such a way that normal information processing is resumed. Dr. Nelson uses EMDR to help clients uncover and process beliefs that developed as the result of relational traumas, or childhood abuse and/or neglect

Ashley Ray
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-S, CCTP, TIYT
It's not your fault! That overwhelming feeling that you just want to crawl out of your skin... The challenges you experience communicating and socializing with others... Your thoughts racing and feeling stuck in the past... Feeling emotionally overwhelmed by the smallest of things... Not being able to sleep at night. None of it's your fault.
I specialize in helping men and women heal from their traumatic past... and guess what! I'm not going to make you talk about it... definitely not at first... and maybe never. The first thing we are going to do is get clear on your symptoms and triggers and work together to help you rewire your trauma-response so that you can feel at peace, calm and happy again. First, I help you to understand what's happening with your nervous system, and then we utilize holistic evidence-based somatic and CBT techniques to bring your body, mind and emotions back into balance. Then, once you feel strong, steady and an ability to achieve calm whenever you like, and if you like, we can revisit the past. Don't worry, the past is not where we start. We start in the present. We help you feel safe so that you are no longer afraid of falling apart.
Give me a call. I offer a free 20 minute phone consultation!

Carrollton is a Dallas-area suburb with an unusually diverse character for the DFW metro, home to one of the largest Korean-American communities in Texas—with a well-established Koreatown corridor—as well as significant Vietnamese, Indian, and Chinese communities, creating a demand for multilingual and culturally competent therapy that is distinctive for a suburban Texas city. Korean-speaking, Vietnamese-speaking, and other Asian-language therapists are sought after in Carrollton, and practices specializing in the mental health needs of first and second-generation immigrant communities are an important part of the local landscape. Common therapy concerns include intergenerational family dynamics, acculturation and cultural identity, academic pressure in communities with high educational expectations, immigration stress, and the challenges of navigating bicultural identity in a conservative Texas suburban context. The proximity to Dallas's much larger therapy market gives residents access to the full breadth of specialties available in the metroplex.
