Find a Therapist in United States

Do you grapple with recurrent mental health struggles? Want to pursue self-improvement but aren't sure how to start? Have you been left feeling that no one taught you how to manage the stressors of life, let alone the stressors of trauma? As a therapist, I work with you not only to heal the pain that life has inflicted, but to discover the life you desire and equip you to live it to the fullest. I am a graduate counseling student with Lamar University currently obtaining their practical experience hours. I am unilaterally LGBTQ+ affirming, as is Vervewell. To me, it is the task of therapy to equip clients with the skills and tools they need for three key aspects of life: understanding themselves and what they want, changing negative and unhelpful thoughts into helpful ones, and gaining control over pain and other strong emotions. Using a combination of CBT, DBT, and SFBT, we will work both to heal and prepare. If you are ready to find the life you deserve and build a better future together, reach out for an appointment or consultation. I offer in-person and virtual appointments from our extremely cozy office in Fort Worth.  

I want to congratulate you for taking the brave step to seek therapy. As your therapist, my role is to help you achieve your best functioning, according to what matters to you. I have been involved in the training of therapists for over 20 years and I am confident that we can find the best path forward for your needs. I see clients via telehealth. Contact me for a free consultation.  

I help busy professionals who are feeling overwhelmed; disappointed that life isn't all they had hoped for. Through our work together they learn to harness their strengths and potential while uncovering what has been standing in their way. Armed with new skills to handle their struggles, they experience a new balance, clarity, and outlook on life.  

I believe that life’s most difficult moments are often the catalysts for our greatest growth. As a practicing psychotherapist with 20 years of experience, my mission is to provide you with a safe, inclusive, and deeply collaborative space to explore the roots of your challenges and discover a more purposeful way of living. My approach is holistic, focusing on the integration of your mind, body, and inner self. I understand that healing is not one-size-fits-all, so I draw from specialized modalities—including Jungian Psychology, Depth Psychology, and EMDR—to tailor our work to your unique goals. Whether we are utilizing dream work, creative arts, or exploring the neurobiology of your attachment patterns and relationships, my aim is the same: to help you release old, limiting patterns so you can cultivate a more meaningful life. I have the privilege of working with individuals from all spiritual and religious backgrounds, as well as those who are defining their own personal paths. My role is to serve as a partner on your journey, offering specialized, guidance-oriented support to help you achieve deeper satisfaction in your career, your relationships, and your physical intimacy. If you are ready to build a stronger sense of self and move toward a life of greater fulfillment, I invite you to contact me for a free 15-minute consultation. I look forward to connecting with you and exploring how we might work together.  

Life is often not what we imagined, hoped or expected. Whether we're impacted by difficulties, traumas, and losses or just can't quite get the hang of "adulting"- it can leave us feeling defeated, isolated or lost. I too have experienced the many let-downs and pains of life and through my own work am able to hold space alongside your process. I offer virtual therapy (video/phone) sessions to meet the scheduling needs of your busy life. I work from a person-centered approach, working with each client's individual needs at their own pace and style. I offer a relaxed and empathetic space, and whether you just need someone to listen, you need direction or questions, or maybe some challenges- I work to meet you where you are. Therapy is an intimate and vulnerable opportunity to move towards growth, healing and change. My goal is to help you gain insight, self-awareness, and the strength to engage fully in your life experience.  

We believe that finding the right therapist is finding someone who can be there for you throughout your life, for both times of need and phases of growth. As a practice, we believe that those who go to therapy are some of the most well-balanced individuals who understand themselves better and strive to grow into the best version of themselves. Our community of therapists strive for excellence in treatment and compassion to each individual, couple, and family. Taking the first step to contact a therapist can be overwhelming. We understand that and are ready to answer any questions you may have and match you with the specialized therapist who can help YOU.  

At Simply Being our therapists join with you to help facilitate healing and connection. As a holistic therapeutic practice, we help you to recognize and accept your psychological and neurophysiological responses to stressors and all forms of trauma, in order for you to build capacity to hold and resolve your pain. Our therapists are experts at treating trauma, anxiety, depression, chronic stress and more. We incorporate knowledge of the brain and body, using both “talk” therapy and somatic approaches. Our therapists are trained in Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, parts-work, depth psychology, mindfulness practices and other forms of proven trauma treatments.  

Are you feeling anxious, stressed, or overwhelmed? Do you struggle with worry, health anxiety, perfectionism, overwhelm, or doubt? Is it interfering with your relationships, sleep, or well-being? If so, you don’t have to pretend you are okay or struggle alone. I know it is hard to make the time for yourself, especially if you're used to caring for others. It is time for you to slow down and focus on your own needs so you can start building the life you want. I’m skilled in supporting clients with anxiety, stress, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), ADHD, and depression to develop better coping skills so that you can attain better balance, increase confidence, and enhance your emotional well-being. You don’t have to keep pretending you are okay or face these challenges alone. I also work with other therapists, caregivers, and helpers who are used to supporting everyone else but are ready for support of their own. Let's work together to help you achieve your goals and live a more fulfilling life. In our therapy sessions, you can expect a supportive and non-judgmental environment where you can comfortably explore your thoughts and feelings. There are many reasons we become stuck. Together, we can discover what is holding you back from living your best life.  

Hey there! I’m Mike Strand, an experienced psychologist with over 15 years of dedication to guiding individuals on their journey of self-improvement. My expertise lies in helping clients overcome emotional challenges to enhance personal growth and strengthen relationships. I recognize that seeking support can be difficult, which is why I will strive to make therapy as welcoming and approachable as possible. Our sessions are collaborative, tailored to your specific needs, facilitating deep and lasting transformation.  

What makes me a good fit for you? With over 20 years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor, I've sat with hundreds of people in some of their hardest moments — and I've lived through a few of my own. I know anxiety from the inside. I've felt that restless, relentless weight, and I've done the work to move through it. That means when you describe what you're carrying, I'm not just nodding from a textbook — I genuinely get it. As a parent of a child on the autism spectrum, I also bring something that no training alone can give: the real, daily experience of loving and advocating for a neurodiverse family member. Whether you're a parent navigating that road or an individual on the spectrum yourself, you'll find in me someone who understands your world with both professional knowledge and personal heart. For couples, I'm certified in the Gottman Method — one of the most research-backed approaches to relationship healing — which means our work together is grounded in what actually helps partnerships grow, not just survive. I show up warm, real, and fully present. My clients tell me they feel heard in a way they haven't before. If you're looking for a therapist who brings both clinical depth and lived humanity to the room — and who welcomes faith as part of the journey when that matters to you — I'd be honored to walk alongside you.  

Professional counselors help clients create change. Mary has a unique skill set and background, allowing for a tailored match with the clients I serve. I understand the relationship between therapist and client can be singular and trans-formative. I strive to help my clients see progress, and to foster those relationships.  

For over a decade in New York City, I've worked with people who are smart, self-aware, and still struggling — and watched them change in ways they didn't think were possible anymore. Certified in EMDR and CPT, with Level 2 IFS training, I bring both clinical rigor and genuine warmth to every session. If you're ready to stop managing your pain and start actually moving through it, I'd love to talk.  

I'm a licensed professional counselor, specializing in all things relationships and interpersonal dynamics, rooted from a mindfulness (MBCT), psychoanalytic, and ACT approach. As a certified yoga teacher for almost a decade, I also draw on yoga philosophy to inform my clinical work. I am an affiliate faculty at Regis University, where I mentor and educate future therapists, focusing on healthy confrontation and effective delivery. I consider myself a directive therapist, yet a collaborative one. I believe the magic happens from our therapeutic alliance.  

I believe therapy is a space for deep, meaningful change—not just symptom relief. My work is grounded in a parts-based practice, depth psychology, and a trauma-informed lens, helping clients explore the aspects of themselves shaped by past experiences, relationships, and unconscious patterns. I approach this process with curiosity, compassion, and respect for your unique story. I specialize in working with trauma recovery, mood disorders, depression, anxiety, codependency, and relationship issues. I view these challenges not simply as problems to eliminate, but as signals pointing toward deeper patterns that deserve attention and care. Together, we create a space where all parts of you are welcome—especially those that have been overworked, hidden, or misunderstood. My goal is to help you develop greater self-awareness, inner balance, and a more authentic relationship with yourself and others.  

Our philosophy is that all individuals, adults and children deserve the opportunity to discover their most authentic self. We believe that through exploration of beliefs, discovery of barriers to our deep truths, we can evolve and transform ourselves through the therapeutic relationship. Come as you are and we will help you discover where YOU desire to go.  

I understand that seeking help can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re looking for someone who truly 'gets it.' My journey in medicine began as a physician in Cuba, and today, as a Board-Certified PMHNP and DNP candidate, I bring that depth of medical knowledge to every session. I specialize in helping high-achieving professionals and families navigate the complexities of ADHD, Anxiety, and Depression. Being bilingual in English and Spanish, I am committed to providing culturally competent care where nothing is 'lost in translation.' My goal is to move past the labels and help you rediscover a sense of balance and clarity. You aren’t just a diagnosis to me; you are a whole person, and I’m here to support your path to wellness with both science and soul  

As someone in long term recovery, I try hard not to tell clients what to do. I believe clients have the answers to their issues and it's my job to help each client get to the answers they are seeking. I do not have a "one size fits all' philosophy and will use whatever therapy seems appropriate based upon the client's needs. I am very person centered which mean that if the client wishes to discuss the weather for an hour we will talk about the weather! I want to work on what the client wants to work on not what I want the client to work on.  

At Navigate Life Counseling, we believe that you are the captain of your own ship, and you just need a navigator to help you through the rough waters of life. Our counseling services are designed to help our clients unlock their potential and achieve their goals. I have been in private practice for over 20 years, and have the professional experience to help you.  

I am certified in trauma focused cognitive/behavioral therapy, and trained in grief assessment, EMDR therapy, as a SYMBIS facilitator and a chemical dependency specialist, Currently I am accepting adolescents (16) and older. I enjoy the interaction and growth that occurs through empowering you, the client, to make your own choices and become your most authentic self.  

When anxiety, depression, or past experiences begin to shape your everyday life, reaching out can feel difficult. You deserve a place where you can speak openly, feel heard, and work toward changes that matter to you. I bring a compassionate, collaborative approach to therapy, with a focus on understanding your experiences and helping you build practical skills for moving forward. As an EMDRIA Certified Therapist, I also offer EMDR therapy when it fits your needs and goals. Together, we can work toward greater confidence, steadier emotions, and more room for the life you want to live.
