Renew Restoration
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S
I became a therapist because I understood, early on, what it felt like to keep moving when something underneath wasn't right. That experience shaped how I see people, not as problems to fix, but as individuals who adapted to what life asked of them.
For over seven years, I've worked with people who are capable, driven, and often very good at holding things together, while quietly carrying something heavier beneath the surface. Burnout. Disconnection. A persistent sense that the life they've built doesn't quite fit who they are anymore.
That's the work I care most about. Not just helping people feel better, but helping them understand themselves, the patterns, the adaptations, the survival strategies that made sense once and may be costing them now.
I wrote The Secret Life of Silent Suffering because I wanted to name what so many people experience but rarely say out loud. That same thread runs through everything I do: therapy, training, speaking, and education for other clinicians.
I believe healing is possible. Not as a return to who you were before, but as a gradual movement toward greater clarity, freedom, and alignment with who you actually are.

Rebekah Ruth Jones, Ed.D., LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor, Ed.D., LPC
It is my belief that a large portion of human suffering is the product of relationships, either the lack thereof or the presence of unhealthy interactions. We were never meant to navigate life alone. As such, we are not prepared to solve problems in a vacuum. For these reasons, I practice from a collaborative stance with my clients.
You can expect direct but kind observations and feedback when working with me. I honor your time and your investment, as such, I will not always say what you would like to hear but instead will share insights with you truthfully but not from a place of authority. Ultimately, you have authority over your own life and the choices that move you forward.

Nick Young
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-Associate
I provide trauma-informed counseling for teens and adults in Fort Worth and throughout Texas who are working through trauma, PTSD, anxiety, stress, life transitions, self-doubt, and painful life experiences. Many of the clients I work with feel overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward, even though they are doing their best to keep everything together.
My approach is warm, collaborative, honest, and grounded in Existential-Humanistic, Person-Centered, and trauma-focused counseling. I believe therapy should be a place where you can feel seen, supported, and accepted without judgment. Together, we will explore what has shaped you, what is keeping you stuck, and what kind of life you want to create moving forward.
As a Marine Corps veteran and former coach, I bring a deep respect for resilience, courage, discipline, and the effort it takes to keep going when life feels heavy. My goal is to help you rebuild confidence, strengthen self-trust, reconnect with your values, and take meaningful steps toward healing, growth, and a more grounded and authentic life.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate in Texas, supervised by Jacqueline Maye, LPC-S.

Zach Ramsey
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC-S, CSAT
You may feel like your life has been turned upside down by addiction, broken trust, sexual behavior, or painful relationship experiences, and many people carry trauma connected to betrayal, emotional wounds, or sexual experiences that continue to shape how they feel and relate to others. You might be living with shame, fear of losing what matters most, unstable relationships, or the constant pressure of trying to hold everything together. Therapy can be a place to slow down, understand what is beneath these struggles, and begin healing not only behaviors, but the trauma and patterns driving them. Recovery and healing are about rebuilding safety, self respect, and connection with yourself and the people you care about. I also provide affirming care for gay and lesbian clients and offer a space where you do not have to hide or explain who you are. If you are ready to begin addressing what has been weighing on you and start creating lasting change in your life and relationships, I invite you to reach out today to schedule a consultation.

Shawna Damiani
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Hi, I'm Shawna. I'm really glad you're here — and I know that finding the right therapist can feel like a lot. My hope is that by the time you finish reading this, you'll have a sense of who I am and whether we might be a good fit.
I work with adults who are carrying things that feel heavy — whether that's the weight of past trauma, the complexity of relationships that keep hitting the same walls, or the experience of moving through a world that wasn't quite designed for the way your brain works. I specialize in trauma and PTSD, relationship challenges, and supporting adults with ADHD and autism who are often figuring out a lot about themselves for the first time.
A lot of my clients come to me feeling like something is wrong with them. My job — and honestly, my passion — is helping people see that they've been responding to hard things in the most human ways possible. Healing isn't about fixing yourself. It's about understanding yourself.
My approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. I'm not going to sit silently and nod — I show up as a real person in the room with you. Therapy with me tends to feel like an honest, sometimes even humorous conversation, grounded in real tools and genuine care.
If any of this resonates, I'd love to hear from you. Reaching out is the hardest part — and you've already started.

McKinney is one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States, a rapidly expanding Dallas-area suburb in Collin County whose population has surged with families and professionals drawn by strong schools, lower housing costs than central Dallas, and a robust job market. The pace of growth itself creates mental health demand—new residents navigating relocation stress, parents managing the pressures of achievement-oriented suburban culture, and young professionals balancing demanding careers with family life are among the most common therapy clientele. Medical City McKinney and a growing network of private practices serve the community, and the proximity to Dallas's much larger therapy market gives residents additional options via telehealth or a short commute. Common therapy concerns include anxiety, life transitions, relationship and parenting stress, and the particular strains of raising a family in one of America's most rapidly transforming suburban landscapes.
