I’ve looked into a lot of local options, and this team comes across as solid and trustworthy. Every therapist holds real credentials—LPCs, associates, and supervisors—so you never question the quality of care.

They cover a wide range of concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and even OCD for kids, plus couples and family counseling, which is rare to find under one roof.

But what really won me over was the vibe. The offices feel warm, not clinical, and the staff treats you with genuine respect. 

On the practical side, booking is hassle-free. Their online scheduling lets you set an appointment whenever it suits you. 

And that ease carries through to the pricing as well—at $120 per hour, the rate is reasonable for Dallas.

The only downside is the session length—50 to 60 minutes can be a bit short if you have a lot to unpack. 

They genuinely care about the people they serve 

“Taylor Counseling Group is a fantastic practice to work with. Their team is professional, responsive, and genuinely cares about the people they serve. Communication is clear and timely, and it’s obvious they prioritize both quality of care and a positive experience for anyone interacting with their office. I’m consistently impressed by their commitment to excellence and would highly recommend them.” —Abby Thompson, Google Review 

Going to counselling is scary, but not with TCG 

“I cannot recommend the Taylor Counseling Group enough. Both their individual counselors – especially Elaine La Bruyère – but also their office staff and process are truly extraordinary. Going to counseling and dealing with insurance and companies is scary, but not with TCG. Amazing. They proactively helped me with beaurcracy issues and the counseling has been life altering, in supportive and insightful ways.” —Kevin Lindstrom, Google Review  

Another counseling service in the city you can rely on is Dallas Counseling and Treatment Center in Uptown. They have LPCs, psychologists, and counselors who actually use evidence-based methods, not vague talk therapy. 

The team handles anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief, plus provides solid support for couples, families, and kids, which makes it easy to stay in one place as needs change.

Another big plus for me is the insurance. Many services are covered, and that alone makes treatment feel more realistic long-term. 

The space is also polished but relaxed, not stiff or intimidating. As for booking, online scheduling is available, and the patient portal keeps things organized without hassle. 

One point to know before jumping in: popular therapists book up quickly. You may need patience if you want a specific clinician.   

Lizzie is very accommodating with my ever-changing schedule 

“My therapist Lizzie is incredible. She is very accommodating with my ever changing schedule. She also gives me the space to be myself and is always asking me the hard questions which allows me to continue to grow.” —McKenna Arras, Google Review 

Glad to find someone here with whom I vibe

“I’d say more but don’t want to violate my own privacy! It’s a breath of fresh air here. I’ve done a lot of therapy over the years as a patient and I’m so glad to find someone here with whom I vibe. Looking forward to doing the work and continued healing and growth.” —Remy Gibson, Google Review 

I like counseling centers that don’t treat you like a checklist, and Total Life Counseling feels different. They look at the whole picture—emotional, mental, and even spiritual—which makes sessions more personal from the start. 

The therapists come from strong backgrounds, mixing family therapy, trauma-informed care, and CBT without sounding rigid or textbook-heavy. 

What surprised me was the range. Beyond anxiety, depression, and trauma, they help with ADHD for kids and adults, self-esteem, relationship struggles, and even niche areas like sports performance, identity coaching, and phobia support. 

Having both in-person and teletherapy options, plus same-week appointments, makes it easy to fit into real life. I also appreciated the free consultation to find the right clinician match. 

The only catch is insurance. Coverage varies, so some costs may come out of pocket. 

Insightful, professional, and easy to talk to therapist

“We had a wonderful experience with Jada Jackson. She connected with our daughter right away and, within minutes, was able to identify the core issue. She created a thoughtful plan and took the time to walk through it with all of us. Jada answered every question we had and even picked up on small interactions between us that she gently addressed in the moment. She’s not only insightful and professional but also fun, down-to-earth, and easy to talk to. Truly an amazing therapist!

Thank again———— Shatara” —G 3, Google Review  

Coming to TLC has changed my life tremendously

“Coming to TLC has change my life tremendously. Dr. Jada and Natasha are a dynamic duo. I have been a client for more than 2 years. Dr. Jada has provided me with a safe place. I have no worries when I sit in her chair or share screens. If you are in need of a safe place and are ready to do the work to heal what you don’t know is there, TLC is the place to be.” —Daneka Howard, Google Review 

I recently checked out Mend Counseling, and I have to say, they cover a lot of ground. 

Their team isn’t just made up of standard counselors but also CBT, DBT, EMDR, expressive arts, and trauma-focused approaches, so it’s easier to find a method that fits your style. 

On top of that, they provide help for a wide range of concerns, from anxiety and depression to abuse recovery, eating disorders, and even foster or adoption-related challenges. 

What sets them apart are the unique offerings, like Parent-Child Interactive Therapy, premarital counseling through SYMBIS, and programs designed for athletes. 

The atmosphere is also warm and inclusive, and they can integrate faith into sessions if that’s important to you. 

However, you have to consider the session length; 50 to 60 minutes can be brief when dealing with deeper issues. 

Maddie McLemore is truly an outstanding therapist

“I have had the pleasure of collaborating closely with Maddie McLemore at MEND Counseling, and she is truly an outstanding therapist! She works well with a variety of clients, and I have personally witnessed her impactful work in eating disorder recovery and working with athletes. Maddie is personable, relatable, friendly, and genuinely a joy to work with. She is encouraging and supportive, helping clients reach their goals. I highly recommend her and the MEND team to anyone seeking therapy services.” —Mary-Lauren Shelton, Google Review  

I have nothing but positive things to say about this practice

“I love Mend and know when my office refers patients they will be in the best of hands. Annie and her team are fantastic! If you or someone you love are looking for counseling or health coaching, this office is a gem. They offer both in-person and telehealth visits. I have nothing but positive things to say about this practice!” – Tara Cavazos, Google Review  

The Source Counseling is a boutique setup run by Amera Sergie, an LPC and supervisor. 

She works with individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, family tension, relationship challenges, and children’s issues, including play therapy for younger clients.

Beyond the scope of services offered, the overall experience is thoughtfully designed to be calm. The space is homey and soothing, which can help you open up freely and comfortably.  

I also like that she offers both in-person and telehealth options, along with intake consultations that shape sessions around your needs rather than following a fixed plan. 

That said, the practice stays intentionally small. Since it’s mostly led by one counselor, choices are limited if you prefer multiple clinician options. 

She worked collaboratively with me in overcoming any difficulties I faced

“Amera was my supervisor while I completed my practicum at Mosaic Family Services in graduate school. Amera was a fantastic supervisor! She was extremely supportive and was able to challenge me in ways that expanded my abilities as a counselor. She worked collaboratively with me in overcoming any difficulties I faced. She created a space where I felt comfortable being open and honest with her, for which I am extremely grateful. I highly recommend her as a supervisor to any LPC-Interns.” —Susanna Wetherington, Google Review 

Easy to work with 

“Amera was my supervisor during my master’s  program. It was a great experience and one that continues to shape my career today. I appreciated that she took supervision seriously, was respectful of scheduled times, took the time to block out distractions, and was consistent in feedback.  She was always receptive to my ideas and opinions but provided firm guidance when needed. I grew as a therapist working with Amera and frequently find myself looking back to the discussions we had. She was easy to work with and is someone I know I will continually look to for advice as I continue to learn and work.” —Tasha, Google Review
