Self Esteem Therapists in Dallas, TX

“When you’re not used to being confident, confidence can feel like arrogance. When you’re used to being passive, assertiveness feels like aggression. When you’re not used to getting your needs met, prioritizing yourself feels selfish. Your comfort zone is not a good benchmark.” - Dr. Vassilia

Coming to therapy requires courage, and I offer an empathic and supportive space where patients can feel understood, valued, and accepted as they are. I approach therapy through an important lens: that lasting change and healing comes from understanding the present-day impact of one’s past experiences and relationships, most importantly with oneself. Whether you are hoping to better manage stress and anxiety, navigate a challenging time in your life, strengthen your relationships, let go of feelings of insecurity, or improve your overall wellbeing, I can help.

My ideal clients are women+ dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or self-esteem issues. Those working with me can expect to dive deeper in their knowledge of selves and learn skills to begin to truly love themselves as they are. You don't have to be the perfect mom, you don't have to lose the 10 lbs, you don't have to be perfect - you are already wholly worthy as you are.

Life can seem overwhelming at times which can make it difficult to believe that happiness is possible or that goals are unattainable. It can be difficult to understand why there seems to be a constant feeling of sadness and hopelessness and not knowing where it is coming from or what is triggering the feelings. It is okay not to be okay but it is not okay to remain stuck there. We are all unique and valuable and deserve respect and kindness. I also believe that it is important for our feelings to be heard and validated.

You’re going about your life doing ‘all the things’ and wondering, “Am I missing something? Why am I feeling so hopeless and why is life so painful sometimes? Do I really matter to my friends and family?” You desire deep connection and belonging but often feel like you’re on the outside and wish your life had more meaning. Life is filled with unexpected, often painful, experiences that can leave you feeling a deep sense of brokenness, along with feeling confused, anxious, and even depressed. There is no textbook for dealing with everything you have on your plate, but you’re longing for a solution to the emptiness inside.

We will focus on healing from past hurt and trauma, attuning to emotional experiences in the present, and developing resiliency for the future.

I am passionate about creating an environment where one feels comfortable and safe. My clients would describe me as patient, competent, goal driven, and honest. As a Licensed Professional Counselor with ten years of experience, I'm committed to challenging you to be honest with yourself while making progress each day towards our long-term goals.

I have experience in helping clients with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, lgbt+ related issues, relationship issues, motivation, self esteem, and confidence concerns.

Sometimes we need to be heard without judgment. Sometimes we need to make sense of pain in our past to make living in the present a little less difficult. Whatever your need, I hope to provide you with the opportunity for increased growth, connection, and restoration. I am committed to empowering clients as they deal with concerns such as self-esteem, perfectionism, relationship difficulties, spirituality, life transitions, and anxiety. I also enjoy working with young couples preparing for marriage as well as helping couples of all ages navigate the intricacies of communication, intimacy, connection, and a satisfying relationship.

Adults at every age experience difficulties adjusting to life's transitions and stressors. You may be concerned about problems or changes in your relationship, finances, career, a move, family, or health. You may be worried about one or more of these areas, struggling with which direction to take, or just reeling from change. (I don't treat very severe forms of bipolar, depressive or personality disorders, eating disorders or active substance abuse disorders).

Hello, my name is Venora Johnson. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas, with 10 years of experience as a psychotherapist working with culturally diverse children, adolescents, and adults ranging from ages 6-70. Are you feeling stuck? Do you feel alone? Are you facing the challenges of overwhelming life circumstances, social/emotional issues, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, or loss? I will provide you with a comprehensive therapeutic evaluation and whatever you’re struggling with, I extend my professional support to assist you in elevating yourself along your journey.

Are you facing the challenges of overwhelming life circumstances? Having trouble managing trauma and anxiety? Often, the thinking patterns we have accumulated throughout our lives are operating below the surface and become the very things that get in the way of the life for which we long. We may not be able to change the situations that happen to us but we can change how we perceive them and how we respond. With years of experience my passion is working with individuals, children/teens and families to develop a plan to create a happy, healthy, thriving life.

Sometimes life's challenges and transitions can be overwhelming and leave you feeling defeated.. Do you find yourself rehearsing the same unhealthy thought processes? Are you experiencing feelings of sadness, anxiousness, low self-esteem, or even burnout? As a specialized Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, I will utilize trauma informed care to help you uncover unhealthy behaviors and thought patterns. I believe that every client is the expert of their own life, therapy will be a collaborative process in which I will take a unique approach to talk therapy.

My approach to therapy lies largely within the framework of Coherence Therapy - a newer approach to treatment that is different from many others. Instead of viewing something as "negative" or "wrong" and trying to change it, the focus is to genuinely understand a person's symptoms on a deep emotional level. Sometimes the symptoms we experience lead to us feeling "stuck." A deep understanding of why someone feels stuck entails addressing the cause of a problem to eliminate it at its roots rather than simply maintaining management of the symptom. I strongly believe that this approach leads to genuinely meaningful and lasting change.

I specialize in services for women and college students struggling with depression, anxiety, identity issues, life transitions, self-esteem, and trauma. I provide a nonjudgmental environment to talk about the challenges you are facing and integrate cognitive behavioral strategies to help you find relief from your symptoms.
