What we treat

anxiety disorders

Empowering those suffering from anxiety to cope more effectively

and achieve emotional wellness

Anxiety is marked by physiological (bodily) and emotional distress provoked by ​conscious or unconscious fears and/or worries. Although anxiety can manifest ​differently in varying disorders, it commonly results in a combination of physical ​sensations (nausea, rapid heart beats, difficulty breathing, trembling) and ​cognitive/emotional symptoms (negative and worried thoughts, poor concentration, ​difficulty sleeping, fears of impending doom).


There are several evidence-based treatments for anxiety, some of which include: ​exposure therapy, cognitive re-structuring, and mindfulness practice. These approaches, ​combined with dynamic psychotherapeutic work, empower those suffering from anxiety ​to face fears and worries directly, learn to cope more effectively, and achieve emotional ​wellness.


Dallas Emotional Health believes in collaboration between therapist, client, and when ​applicable, full treatment team. Your therapist will discuss the most appropriate ​intervention for specific anxiety disorders at the initial consultation appointment.

depression & mood disorders

Helping those suffering from depression and mood disorders to better understand the ​interconnection between thoughts, emotions and behaviors

Depression and other mood disorders can manifest without warning or known cause ​and also in reaction to life stressors, transitions, loss and grieving. A noticeable decline ​in mood can severely impact quality of life and often provoke loss of interest in activities ​and engagement with others previously deemed pleasurable.


Additional signs and symptoms of depression include changes to appetite, difficulty ​sleeping/sleeping too often and for longer duration, social withdrawal and isolation, ​irritability, decreased concentration, and feelings of hopelessness.


Dallas Emotional Health aims to empower those suffering from depression to better ​understand the interconnection between our thoughts, emotions and behaviors. Our ​clinicians are trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, an evidence-based practice for ​the treatment of depression. An integral focus of treatment will be learning strategies to ​cope with symptoms and continue progressing toward self-identified goals.

children & adolescents

We value the complexity of each child's or adolescent's individual needs

Children and adolescents often experience distinct behavioral and emotional symptoms ​that are compounded by unique environmental and educational stressors, and ​influenced by an ongoing developmental process. Distress in children, therefore, often ​looks different than in adults. Children/adolescents frequently experience anxiety or ​emotional distress as physical pain or discomfort, seem irritable and short-tempered, ​avoid activities that trigger stress, or act-out behaviorally rather than communicate their ​concerns verbally. These complex and dynamic factors during early development benefit ​from specific assessment and treatment considerations.


At Dallas Emotional Health, we value the complexity of your child’s individual needs. We ​work collaboratively with your child/adolescent, parent(s), and as needed with other ​valued care-givers (e.g., teachers, school counselors, psychiatrists, pediatricians, etc.) to ​provide comprehensive care to address your child’s specific concerns.


Early intervention and development of key emotional coping skills can equip your child, ​adolescent, or young adult to successfully manage future emotional distress, increase ​self-esteem, and promote healthy relationships.

parent consultation

A collaborative process with the goal of increasing positive parenting and decreasing ​parental distress

Children and adolescents routinely test parental limits, express dissatisfaction with rules, ​and avoid tasks that interfere with play time (i.e., chores and homework). However, these ​normal child behaviors can often increase in severity or frequency over time, leading to ​family distress, chaos in the home, and unhealthy parent-child relationships. With ​repetition of difficult behaviors, parental patience decreases and tempers rise.


Parent consultation with a therapist provides collaborative support identifying patterns ​in problematic behaviors and development of targeted solutions. As the parent, you are ​the expert on your child’s emotional needs, behaviors, and attitudes. As such, parent ​consultations are a collaborative and dynamic process between you and your therapist ​with the goal of increasing positive parenting and decreasing parental distress.


Parent consultations can address a variety of behavioral difficulties including, ​tantrums/meltdowns, opposition/defiance, power struggles, poor communication, and ​aggressive behaviors. The goal of parent consultation is to help parents find more ​positive ways to respond to their child’s distress, including communicating and validating ​your child’s emotions, setting appropriate limits on behavior, and increasing ​opportunities for positive reinforcement.

Good Faith Estimate

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical ​items and services.

  • You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs ​like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
  • Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You ​can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
  • If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
  • Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059.
