Samia Geraghty
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
The teenage years are a time of profound transformation, marked by rapid brain development, shifting identities, and the intense social pressures of the digital age. Navigating this transition can leave adolescents feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or anxious, while parents often feel stuck between wanting to help and feeling pushed away. Whether your teen is struggling with intense academic stress, social anxiety, mood swings, or identity exploration, therapy provides them with a private, dedicated space to process their world without fear of judgment.My approach will help them decode complex emotions, build healthy self-esteem, and develop practical coping skills for stress and relationships.

Dr. Monica Dyer
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, DNP, MPH, FNP, PMHNP
As a Psychiatric-Mental Health and Family Nurse Practitioner, my passion is helping people feel seen, supported, and understood during some of the most challenging moments of their lives. I believe that healing happens through connection, honesty, and safe space, and my goal is to offer care that feels grounded, collaborative, and genuinely human. I am so grateful to work with people experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, substance use disorders, bipolar disorder, psychosis, and many other mental health struggles. I provide both medication management and supportive therapeutic care.
For patients healing from trauma, I also offer Accelerated Resolution Therapy, a gentle approach that helps people move forward without being overwhelmed by their past. My background includes street medicine, community health, and international humanitarian work, all of which have shaped my respect for the resilience and complexity of the human experience.
I strive to understand your story—not just your symptoms—and to partner with you in creating a plan that aligns with your needs, values, and goals. To heal, we need to feel safe, heard, and empowered. You don’t have to navigate this alone. I’m here to walk with you, support you, and help you rediscover hope, strength, and stability on your path forward.

Dallas is a sprawling metropolitan hub where corporate culture, long commutes, and economic ambition create significant demand for therapists specializing in burnout, anxiety, and work-life balance. The city's rapid growth and large transplant population mean many residents are navigating isolation and major life transitions without established local support networks, making therapy a particularly valuable resource. Dallas has a large and diverse population with strong demand for culturally affirming therapists serving its Hispanic, Black, and South Asian communities. UT Southwestern Medical Center and Baylor Scott & White Health provide major institutional mental health resources across the DFW metroplex.
