How does Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) work?

I'm Tolulope Onanuga, a dedicated Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with over a decade of experience in both psychiatric and medical/surgical nursing. I focus on understanding and addressing the unique needs of each patient, ensuring a compassionate and supportive environment. My expertise includes working with patients who have mental health challenges, such as those dealing with chemical dependency, crisis situations, or severe psychiatric conditions like schizophrenia and PTSD. I work closely with a collaborative healthcare team to create and update personalized treatment plans that promote holistic care. Education is a big part of my approach; I help patients and their families understand medications and care routines. My mission is to foster a healing atmosphere where patients feel safe and empowered on their journey to better health. Treatment philosophy: As a dedicated psychiatric nurse practitioner, my treatment philosophy centers around compassionate, patient-focused care. I believe in fostering genuine relationships with my patients, actively listening to their concerns and tailoring my approach to their unique needs. I prioritize transparency, helping patients understand their treatment options and medications. Whether it's through crisis intervention or ongoing therapy, my goal is to empower patients on their recovery journeys. Above all, I adhere to a trauma-informed, recovery-oriented mindset, creating a safe space for healing and growth. Together, we can achieve meaningful progress toward better mental health.

Hi! My name is Caroline, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapy Associate. I went to Texas Tech University from August 2017-May 2020, and completed my graduate school education at Oklahoma State University from August 2020-August 2022. I am passionate about providing a safe space for growth and freedom. I work from a collaborative perspective, and believe that all individuals are the experts in their own lives. I am of the opinion that I am not above you as a therapist, but side by side with you as we work through whatever you bring to therapy together. Some fun facts about me: I have a pandemic pet, I will drink iced coffee in ANY weather, and I have 3 tattoos! 

You deserve to live a life that leaves you excited to wake up every morning. I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Calling a therapist can be intimidating; take a moment, maybe even a deep breath. Allow me the opportunity to create a safe and Zen space for you. Together we can begin this journey of personal growth and healing. There is no pivotal time like the present to take this step to elevate yourself out of the cycle of bad relationships, grudges, trauma, or being anxious/angry all the time. We will collaboratively work to obtain clarity through mindfulness. I practice from an eclectic and client-centered approach, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to create a unique space just for you. Therapy should be an exclusive experience for every individual, family, and couple. Let us begin this process of greater conciseness and living your best life. Give yourself a break; change can be challenging. Let's work towards breaking free of old patterns, creating balance in your life, and your natural capacity to heal. Your transformation starts NOW!

Hello, I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who enjoys working with individuals from ages 18 to 65 who are seeking a variety of treatment options to improve their mental health. In addition to medication management, I can offer several therapy and biofeedback resources to help manage and improve complex mental health issues and overall daily function. For my ADHD clients, I offer nonstimulant medications as well as biofeedback options, but I do not prescribe amphetamines for this diagnosis. I specialize in treating adults and veterans who are struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, brain injury, sleep issues, and ADHD. For those challenged with treatment resistant depression, I have access to resources that provide both Ketamine and TMS services throughout the Dallas area. I am licensed in both Texas and Missouri. I believe in developing rapport, cultivating trust, and working with my clients where they are at while offering them alternative options (not just medications) for their mental health journey.

You’re tired from a lifetime of feeling both 'too much' and yet 'not enough'. This overwhelming shame and guilt is preventing you from enjoying healthy connections to yourself and others. You show up readily for others but will not ‘burden' them when you are in need. You try so hard to hide your sensitivity, but know deep inside that this should be a beloved asset. Are you aching to discover yourself, to experience the joy of self acceptance and healthy attachment? Is holding a scarcity mindset or living a life impacted by emotional wounds and intergenerational patterns no longer serving you? You are ready to be seen and to heal. There is help to break the painful intergenerational patterns and heal the shame you are have been carrying. Imagine, being able to communicate your needs and your inner truth to yourself and others without fear. Your journey in a BIPOC or LGBTQ+ body deserves recognition. It is time for you to fall deeply in secure, authentic love with yourself and others. I am here if you have heard the call to transform painful patterns, to embrace your sensitivity, and to develop healthy connections. If you are seeking highly personalized, virtual therapy with an intuitive, compassionate BIPOC therapist, please reach out via phone or website to schedule your first session or a complimentary 15 minute consultation.

Hi, I’m Jennie Denney, an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist passionate about helping individuals, teens, couples, and families navigate the hard stuff—like self-harm, identity challenges, religious trauma, and relationship ruptures. My approach is trauma-informed and deeply rooted in attachment work, and I use integrative methods like EMDR, IFS, and EFT to support lasting change. I believe therapy should feel safe, collaborative, and grounded in real connection. I'm here to help you feel seen, supported, and empowered to grow.

If you are curious, hesitant, or intimidated about seeking therapy, I am here to help. I create a nonjudgemental, safe and confidential space where you can freely express yourself without fear, judgment or criticism. This space is dedicated solely to your well-being, where you can explore your emotions, build your self-esteem and cultivate self-compassion. If you value a creative and holistic approach to therapy, we may integrate art or other expressive techniques like mindfulness. I am passionate about trauma and women's issues. My training and experience allows me to navigate the complex needs of survivors of all ages, including young survivors. One area of particular interest to me is the mind-body-spirit approach. These therapies focus on the body's wisdom in healing trauma and provide a holistic approach to recovery. As part of Wellspring Therapeutic Partners, I regularly consult with our team of therapists, prescribers, and psychologists who specialize in a variety of areas. I can provide seamless referrals for medication management or testing, though we always welcome and encourage you to keep working with your outside provider if helpful.
