Counseling for Persons With Disabilities in Dallas
Support for the journeys illness, injury, or disability can bring.
Finding hope and new meaning when life has been altered.
Our Approach
Our journeys in life may require us to pause, seek support, and make new meaning. With over twenty years of experience as an occupational therapist, our clinician brings a unique, lived understanding of what it means to adjust to a new normal after illness, injury, or physical disability. This isn’t just talk therapy — it’s support from someone who understands the practical and emotional realities of adapting to change.
(Please note: no occupational therapy services are provided at this location — this is a mental health counseling service informed by an occupational therapy background.)

A Gentle Note
Adjusting to a life-altering change takes time, and there is no “right” timeline for grief or adaptation. Whatever stage you’re in — newly diagnosed, months into recovery, or years into living with a disability — there is space here for exactly where you are.
Important Note
This service is a mental health counseling service, not occupational or physical therapy. Clients are encouraged to continue coordinating with their medical providers, occupational therapists, or physical therapists for treatment of the physical aspects of their condition.
Life may look different than you expected. That doesn’t mean hope is off the table.
FAQ
Is this occupational therapy?
No. This is mental health counseling — a space to work through the emotional side of illness, injury, or disability. Our clinician’s occupational therapy background informs the work, but no occupational or physical therapy services are provided at this location.
My diagnosis was years ago. Is this still for me?
Yes. There’s no window that closes on this kind of support. Some people seek counseling right after a diagnosis; others come years later, when a new life stage stirs up old grief or new challenges. Wherever you are, that’s a fine place to start.
Can family members or caregivers be involved?
They can, when it would be helpful and you want them included. Family and caregiver dynamics are often part of the adjustment process, and your therapist can help navigate those conversations.
Do you offer telehealth sessions?
Yes. Telehealth is available across Texas, which many clients find helpful when travel, energy, or accessibility is a factor.
