Find a Therapist in Lewisville, Texas.

As human beings, we each grow up with a family of origin that is dysfunctional at some level because every family is made of of imperfect humans! It is amazing what taking a look at how our perceptions of life, love, God, money, the world around us, etc. is formed and how that impacts who we are and how we act today. It is never about blame, but it is often about finding real truth and forgiveness and learning how to move on and become your true authentic self!

I provide psychotherapy to adults who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, identity, career, and relationship stress. Therapy can be effective in helping you identify and process your emotions, untangle your thoughts and worries, heal from past wounds/relationships, and improve your confidence. When you schedule your first initial session with me, we will work together to determine what you want to get out of therapy and create an action plan of how to get there. Each session we will focus on a therapy goal and start exploring how to get closer to that goal through processing, activities, techniques, and research-based interventions.

Every person is unique so after the first session, an individualized treatment plan is developed and discussed with you to ensure success.

With a holistic blend of therapies, including a focus on Somatic Experiencing, my practice offers transformative support for those navigating persistent mental health challenges. My approach is deeply rooted in understanding attachment dynamics and the unconscious processes shaping our lives, thanks to extensive training at The Menninger Clinic and practical experience in diverse therapeutic modalities like CBT and DBT. I am committed to creating a therapeutic space that fosters self-awareness, resilience, and growth, empowering clients to untangle complex emotional patterns and embark on a path to recovery.

Talk therapy can be helpful with a wide range of issues. I want to work with you not just to get to the root of the issues that make it difficult to cope with life, but also the secret strengths you have that can make things easier. I am strengths focused, and able to help you with quick, short term advancements. I am also available for long term sessions so we can reinforce the things we learn along the way.

Psychotherapy is about gaining self-awareness. When we can identify negative self-talk, we can begin to challenge it and replace it with healthy, positive self-talk. When we understand communication and relationship patterns, we can learn to set boundaries and create new patterns of behavior. When we learn that we are engaging in people-pleasing behaviors, we can explore why and then begin to seek validation from ourselves rather than someone else. Everyone has value.

Psychotherapy is a process that allows people to overcome their own limitations. We often don't know how to do things differently and we end up getting the same results over and over again. Through talk therapy, we can look at these limitations and work together to make changes in how you think and how you act. The results then change and you will find yourself in new and healthier places in your relationships, and your life.

I work with an entire person--the mind, emotions, body, spirit, relationships. I offer an alternative approach to traditional psychotherapy because sometimes we are stuck beyond our thoughts. I believe we are often stuck beyond how we think about something, but by how our body holds and remembers the experiences. After all, we feel the anxiety in our chest, shoulders or stomach. When we are depressed, we struggle to move, sleep, concentrate etc. I work to remove the block from wherever it is stuck. My clients come to me after years of ineffective therapy. They are looking for more than talking about their struggles or identifying how they think about them in favor of a change in living.

My psychotherapy approach is dedicated to supporting individuals navigating a spectrum of mental health conditions and emotional challenges. Beyond symptom relief, it focuses on identifying psychological root causes, fostering enhanced emotional well-being and holistic healing. Psychotherapy proves beneficial for diverse conditions, including managing stress, coping with trauma, addressing the impact of medical illness or loss, such as the death of a loved one, and treating specific mental health issues like depression or anxiety. Given the range of psychotherapies available, each may be tailored to specific clinical situations, ensuring a personalized and effective treatment plan.

I am a strong believer in the power of talk therapy. While counseling can be an incredible step towards positive change, it also needs to be accompanied by action outside the counseling session. I will help you navigate through the mental fog, anxiety, depression, addiction, communication issues and more, and will be a collaborator in the exploration of the source of these issues as well as ways of dealing with them and having a better quality of life.

I offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which is a present focused psychotherapy and uses elements of traditional psychotherapy where the historical data is relevant to the present circumstances, thoughts and feelings that are being addressed. The client sets the agenda collaboratively with the therapist during each session. The client gains the tools over the course of therapy to use for a lifetime. Many clients see results quickly with CBT, and most see substantial results in 15 sessions.

Even if you've tried therapy before, I encourage you to try again. Your problems are important and significant. If they weren't, you wouldn't be researching therapists on the internet! If I didn't believe people could change, I wouldn't be in this business. You receive a free initial phone consultation with me, so you can interview me and see if I would be helpful in your situation. I would be thrilled to be given the opportunity to work with you.

Dr. Minatrea is an advocate of positive psychology, which focuses on strengths and doing more of what works, not just labeling problems. Positive psychology also includes things like hope, forgiveness, and gratitude...not just looking at what is wrong, but finding a way out. Within a positive framework, Dr. Minatrea uses cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), which looks at how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected. She seeks to provide care for the whole person--body, mind, and spirit.

This private practice is focused on helping clients create a balanced and joyful life. Everyone can discover the way that works best for him or her. It appears that we tend to focus way too much time and energy on "right vs. wrong." This seems to only cause more confusion, indecisiveness, and other insecurities. Seeking outside guidance in times of struggle can be powerful and transformative. One of the goals of this practice is to help clients discover a deeper sense of self and acceptance. Another intention of this practice practice is to help clients build and maintain the necessary tools they already have existing within themselves, and lead clients to new discoveries of living life in a more balanced and enjoyable way.

On occasion a situation in life can come up that exceeds your ability to cope. When this occurs, turning to a counselor for assistance is just as necessary as turning to your doctor for help when you have the flu. Through counseling you can gain the tools, resources, and knowledge necessary to help you through your difficult time. Your counselor will work with you to establish a helping relationship which offers emotional safety facilitated by a non-judging and unbiased ear. Through counseling you will be more prepared to take on whatever life has thrown your way, and when you leave you will take with you new insight and new coping skills that you can use throughout your lifetime.

I create a safe environment for clients to be open and process their emotions. I will walk with you to identify experiences that may impede your sense of self. Many clients I see are working through issues related to family of origin. Once these issues are identified we begin to understand the underlying cause of our behaviors. The pain of childhood wounds, traumas, and old patterns and beliefs can negatively affect all aspects of life. I believe everyone has an inner knowing and the ability to heal. I will assist you to understand the dynamics of your family of origin so you can move forward in your life with courage.

I use two modalities in my practice: restoration therapy and biblical principles. Restoration therapy addresses the root causes of emotional and mental health issues, restoring relationships with God, self, and others. Biblical principles provide guidance and insight for my clients, helping them find hope, healing, and direction through their faith. Together, these two modalities provide a comprehensive approach to promoting personal growth and healing.

My approach to psychotherapy is rooted in fostering a therapeutic alliance built on trust, empathy, and active listening. I believe in creating a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in depth. Through a client-centered and integrative approach, clients will benefit from tailored interventions and techniques that address their unique needs and goals. I strive to empower clients to gain self-awareness, develop coping strategies, and facilitate personal growth.

psychotherapy is a transformative process that offers people a safe and supportive place to explore thoughts, emotions, and experiences. As a trained therapist, I am here to partner with you on your journey to enhanced self exploration as we work to tackle the challenges and wins you have along the way. In my sessions, you can expect to feel validated and heard as well as challenged (in a good way) so that you can bring your best foot forward into work, relationships, and adjustments to change. I am eager to get to know you and find out what strengths you bring to the table!

Psychotherapy is the use of psychological methods to help a person change behavior and overcome problems in a positive manner. Its aim is to help people understand the thoughts behind feeling anxious or depressed and addressing these thinking patterns. Psychotherapy will help you change behaviors and habits that are limiting you, to experiencing your fullest potential.

I work with clients to uncover unproductive thought patterns and behavioral choices. Through talk therapy, we investigate the thoughts and beliefs that hold you back and keep you repeating the same cycle with the same results. I approach therapy from a no-judgment, compassionate vantage and work with you to alleviate the fear, stress and anxiety that keeps you "stuck".
