Psychodynamic Therapists in Texas

You're carrying persistent worries, feeling unsafe more often, or simply exhausted from navigating everything on your own. You are ready for it to let up a little bit so that you can catch a break. You notice your old wounds are getting harder to ignore. From this place, we can explore your inner landscape at a pace that feels safe, grounding, and respectful while creating a supportive, trauma-informed telehealth space. Lets move together toward healing, growth, and connection to your Self and others. I provide individual counseling helping you gently explore the inner voices, roles, and protective strategies that develop in response to life experiences. I specialize in working on women's issues, issues impacting LGBTQIA+ individuals, and those exploring different paths to parenthood and/or experiencing infertility. My approach is collaborative, affirming, and grounded in deep respect. You deserve a therapist who understands the complexity, strength, and resilience you carry. I will stand alongside you as you reconnect with yourself, celebrate growth, and move toward meaningful change. When you’re ready, I invite you to reach out; every part of you is welcome here.

My most important commitment is that you feel truly affirmed, empowered, and heard. I listen with deep curiosity and humility, always honoring your unique story and how your lived experiences have shaped your values, hopes, and emotional needs. Whether you’re grappling with anxiety, self-doubt, grief, people-pleasing, or power struggles in your relationships, I create a nonjudgmental space to explore complex feelings like guilt, insecurity, jealousy, regret, resentment, and more. I also offer a deep understanding of cultural pressures, marginalization, and power dynamics. For over 15 years, I've worked alongside diverse communities in public health and education––from LGBTQIA+ centers, sexual health programs, and reproductive justice organizations, to disability centers, trauma-informed crisis lines, and under-resourced schools. Across nearly two decades, I have supported numerous people of color and immigrants––many of them queer and/or trans––as they negotiated multiple perspectives on belonging, cultural authenticity, discrimination, failure/success, faith, family, sexuality, and social class. Witnessing the tenacity, self-awareness, compassion, and character of cycle-breakers was one of a few major motivators for entering the profession. I earned an M.Phil.Ed. in Professional Counseling from the University of Pennsylvania's Graduate School of Education and an Ed.M. in Human Development & Psychology at Harvard's Graduate School of Education.

Hello, I'm Beltha Chunow, a dedicated Advanced Practice Registered Nurse and Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner based in Mansfield, TX. With over 14 years of nursing experience and a special focus on mental health, I am passionate about helping individuals live more fulfilling lives. I specialize in managing mental health disorders through a comprehensive approach that includes psychiatric evaluations, personalized treatment plans, and medication management. My goal is to understand each patient's unique needs and provide the care and support they deserve. At J & J Healthy Minds Clinic, I ensure that all patient interactions are documented accurately and in a timely manner. I collaborate closely with an interdisciplinary team to deliver the best possible outcomes for my patients. From initial evaluations to follow-up visits, my emphasis is on listening carefully and responding thoughtfully to improve health and well-being. I am here to support you every step of the way, offering both education and care coordination so you can make informed decisions about your mental health. Whether it's through therapy, health promotion, or illness prevention, I strive to help you achieve your wellness goals.

I work with adolescents and adults suffering from mood and anxiety disorders, complex trauma, women’s issues, narcissistic abuse, attachment issues, and personality disorders. I also work with couples to improve communication, develop healthy conflict-resolution skills, and create a long-term family vision and mission that restores harmony in everyday life. I believe psychoeducation and a personalized mental health care plan empower clients to make lasting changes quickly. I create a unique treatment plan for each client with specific, measurable goals. I use therapeutic breathwork, CBT, and DBT to help clients quickly reduce symptoms while evaluating emotional and behavioral patterns that may require longer-term therapy. I approach personality disorders, attachment dysfunction, and identity confusion from a developmental and psychodynamic perspective and have experience treating borderline, narcissistic, and schizoid personality disorders. I earned my B.A. in psychology from the University of Texas at Austin, and after a career as a business executive, returned to school in 2020, earning a Master of Science degree in clinical mental health counseling from Tarleton State University. I am an alumna of the national women’s leadership academy, Leadership America, and was selected in 2015 to be a patient advocate for the National Center for Healthcare Research in Washington, D.C. I am a writer, public speaker, and patient-first healthcare activist, and have published many written works about the dangers of using pharmaceuticals and medical devices cleared (not fully approved) through the FDA's lax 510k marketing process. I enjoy gardening, all forms of creativity and self-expression, love to learn, and believe that where there is humor, there is healing. My husband and I live in Central Texas and enjoy camping with our two dogs and parakeet. We have two adult sons and three granddaughters and believe in the restoration of family relationships as a path to well-being.

What if one session could make all the difference? Anxiety, depression, fears, traumatic events or memories, irritability, triggers, and reactivity. You might have tried therapy before but felt like it was focused just on “coping”...not on actually getting to the root of the issue. You’re ready to go deep and put these triggers and patterns to rest for good. Brainspotting (BSP) and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) offer fast, gentle, and highly effective relief, without the need to talk about your problems in detail. It’s time to move past the triggers and patterns that have been holding you back far too long. Deep, long-lasting change doesn’t have to take years. ART and BSP empower your brain to do the healing work so you can finally re-process and neutralize painful memories, experiences, and events, making room for feelings of more calm, clarity, and relief. Research shows that if often takes just 1-5 sessions to experience significant changes. As a client myself, I was able to access and resolve things that talking alone could not fully repair—and it’s because of my experience that I decided to get trained. These methods have made such an impact on my life that I wanted to be able to bring them to my clients, too. Together, we can discuss which option is best for you. Reach out to get started! 

Welcome! I am glad you are here! I have a passion for helping people know themselves better and process their lives and concerns. I work with a variety of people with struggles such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, addiction, relationships, and more. I primarily work from a psychodynamic perspective that seeks to understand individuals’ unconscious motivations and desires that contribute to our conscious life. I am comfortable discussing any issue that you might bring up and can aid in helping you achieve a healthier and more fulfilling life. I take great interest in people, their inner workings, their desires and needs, and I have a passion for helping people better understand themselves and how they are wired. I seek to provide an environment that fosters trust, self-discovery, compassion, healing, and grace. I believe people can heal and grow when the learn to acknowledge and accept themselves and where they are at. My desire is to help people heal, hope, and harbor a love for themselves and others.

I'm a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner. I graduated from Walden University. I have a strong history of success in the treatment of psychiatric illness, medical and emotional illness including environmental, sociological, psychological, and physical factors of mental and emotional disorders. I focus on developing a personalized treatment plan while utilizing evidence-based pharmacological and non-pharmacological modalities to support each client. The tools that I'll provide you with are tools that I have been perfecting over my career helping people just like you. I specialize in treating psychiatric disorders including, but not limited to, Anxiety, Depression, Mood disorders, Sleep Disorder, Bipolar, PTSD and ADHD. I am direct and solution focused and works collaboratively to address any issues that are bothering you right now. I am currently accepting new patient, and short notice appointments. I believe that everyone can change and grow at any time in their lives. I believe that the main reason we develop mental health issues is because they are unhealthy learned behaviors that we have picked up along the way. Which means that I think you can unlearn the faulty behaviors and replace them with healthy ones. I offer a complimentary 10-minute consultation session for prospective patients to assess whether my services align with their needs.

Hi! I’m Dr. Johnson… and I love helping people learn more about themselves and what drives their choices. Insight can liberate us from limiting, painful life patterns and deep understanding can be the birthplace of healing self-compassion. Feeling confused, lost, down, or hopeless is a part of life, but we don’t have to stay there, and we don’t have to navigate those experiences alone. Bring your courage and curiosity and together we can work towards meaningful and lasting change.
