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!

Phillip McCulley
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CSAT
I work with individuals and couples who are dealing with the effects of trauma or post traumatic stress. Trauma can come from many experiences, including childhood events, relationship betrayal, abuse, medical trauma, loss, or other situations that felt overwhelming or unsafe. Even when the event is in the past, its effects can continue to show up through anxiety, emotional numbness, hypervigilance, intrusive memories, or difficulty trusting others.
In therapy, I help clients understand how trauma is affecting their nervous system, emotions, and relationships in the present. I use trauma informed approaches, including EMDR therapy, to help process painful experiences in a way that feels safe and manageable. This work allows many clients to feel less controlled by memories or emotional reactions and more grounded in their daily lives.
Trauma healing is not about reliving the past or forcing yourself to move on. It is about helping your mind and body release what they have been holding onto so you can feel more present, connected, and in control. Together, we work toward restoring a sense of safety, stability, and confidence in yourself and your relationships.

Shawna Damiani
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Trauma is not what happened to you. Trauma is what happened inside you as a result — the way your nervous system learned to protect you, the way your brain reorganized itself around surviving, the way a part of you got stuck in a moment that the rest of you has long since left behind.
It doesn't have to be a single catastrophic event. Trauma can be the accumulation of a thousand smaller moments — growing up in a home where you never felt safe, a relationship that slowly dismantled your sense of self, a childhood where your needs were consistently unmet or your feelings consistently dismissed. It can be the thing everyone saw coming and the thing no one ever knew happened. It can be the experience you've minimized for years because someone else had it worse.
Your nervous system doesn't grade on a curve. If it changed you, it counts.
At Love Let Out, trauma-informed care isn't a specialty we offer on the side — it is the foundation of everything we do. We understand that trauma lives in the body as much as the mind, that traditional talk therapy alone doesn't always reach it, and that healing requires more than just telling the story. We draw from somatic approaches, Internal Family Systems, and mindfulness-based practices to help you process what happened at a level that actually creates change — not just insight, but relief.
We also know that trauma healing is not linear. There will be sessions that feel like breakthroughs and weeks that feel like setbacks. We will not rush you, and we will not pathologize your pace. Healing happens in relationship — and we are committed to being the kind of steady, trustworthy presence that makes it possible.
You survived. Now let's help you actually live.

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.

Aubrey Richardson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Trauma is not just what happened. It is how those experiences continue to live in your body, your relationships, and your sense of safety.
Many of my clients grew up in environments that looked “fine” on the surface, but required them to become a “little adult” far too early. They learned to anticipate needs, manage emotions, stay hyper-aware of others, and take on responsibility that was never theirs to carry. This often develops in the context of emotional neglect, subtle instability, or environments where love and safety were inconsistent or had to be earned.
Because of this, you may not always identify your experiences as trauma. You may just know that you feel constantly on edge, overly responsible, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected from yourself.
These patterns do not just live in your thoughts. They live in your body. You may notice chronic tension, difficulty relaxing, hypervigilance, or feeling like you can never fully “turn off,” even when things are objectively okay.
In our work together, we focus on helping you understand how these early patterns shaped the way you relate to yourself and others, while also addressing the somatic impact of living in a prolonged state of stress. Using mindfulness, somatic awareness, and evidence-based approaches, we work to reduce reactivity, rebuild a sense of internal safety, and create more sustainable, balanced ways of living and relating.
You adapted in ways that made sense at the time, but you do not have to keep living that way now

Michael J. Salas
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD, LPC-S, LCDC, CSAT, CST
Trauma isn’t just about what happened. It’s about how your body and mind had to adapt to survive it. Whether you’ve experienced something overwhelming recently or are carrying the weight of events from long ago, trauma can show up in your life in ways that feel confusing, exhausting, or out of your control—like flashbacks, anxiety, emotional numbness, or a constant sense of danger, even when things seem “fine.”
I help people make sense of these responses and begin to heal in a way that feels grounded and empowering. With specialized training in EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, and Post Induction Therapy, I use approaches that go beyond just talking—so you can safely reconnect with your body, your emotions, and your sense of self.
You don’t have to keep reliving what happened or stay stuck in survival mode. Healing from trauma is possible, and therapy can help you move forward with more clarity, choice, and peace.

Elizabeth Starnes
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S, ATR-BC®, REAT
Trauma and PTSD can shape how you experience yourself, your relationships, and your sense of safety, often showing up as reactivity, emotional shutdown, or feeling disconnected from your body or sense of self. These responses are not flaws—they are adaptive patterns shaped by past experiences. In our work together, we slow things down and begin to understand these patterns with care and compassion. My approach integrates expressive arts therapy, using modalities such as visual journaling, storytelling, movement, and other forms of creative expression to explore and process experiences that may be difficult to access through words alone, alongside a parts-informed perspective to understand the aspects of you shaped by survival and protection. For clients who are interested, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) can also be incorporated as a structured, evidence-based talk therapy approach, integrated in a way that aligns with your goals and pace.

Mike Jeffcoat
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I can guide the client to better understanding of their PETS: physical response, emotional response, and thoughts by exploring the triggers and learning to manage our responses to perceived threat. Once healing has started, we can explore spirituality and how it can be a tool for recovery into true inner peace and self-empowerment. To that purpose, I use positive psychology, integrative holistic theories and practices, meditation, and breathwork so that my clients can experience a fulfilling life and become the authentic person they've wanted to be.

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.
