Feeling stuck
You know the pattern. You can even explain it. You still cannot get yourself out of it. Maybe you're afraid something is fundamentally wrong with you. Therapy here starts with that, not with a diagnosis.
Sunday Counseling is virtual therapy for late teens and twenty-somethings throughout Texas, based in Richardson. You don't have to have it all figured out. You just have to be willing to try something different.
You don't have to be fixed. You might just need a different way to play the game.
I help late teens and twenty-somethings get unstuck from patterns around relationships, self-worth, emotional overwhelm, and self-limitation. Therapy here is a place to bring your whole, messy, emotional self, then get curious about what becomes possible. The work is warm, relational, and sometimes a little unexpected: brave, playful experiments that build awareness, choice, and self-compassion.
Oh. Therapy could actually feel like this?
You know the pattern. You can even explain it. You still cannot get yourself out of it. Maybe you're afraid something is fundamentally wrong with you. Therapy here starts with that, not with a diagnosis.
Anxious attachment, codependency, people-pleasing, panic when someone pulls away. We look at the game you keep playing, then switch one card.
Emotions are information, not the enemy. If you have been told you are too much, or you swallow everything until it explodes, bring that here.
I can sit with something heavy and then say, "Okay. Are you up for an experiment?" Play does not mean we skip the hard parts. It makes another door into them. Human first, therapist second.
Read how we workA few sentences about what brings you. No clinical file needed. Just enough to see if we might fit.
Fifteen minutes. You can ask anything. I will too. The point is fit, in both directions.
If we are a fit, we start. Virtual, anywhere in Texas. You set the pace from there.
Do I have to have a diagnosis to start?
No. You do not have to arrive with a diagnosis, or even know exactly what is wrong. Tired of feeling stuck is a real reason to come.
Is this online therapy for Texas?
Yes. I am based in Richardson and see clients virtually anywhere in the state. Richardson and DFW show up for local search. Texas is the service area.
How much does it cost?
Sessions are $150 an hour. If a different price would make this possible, say so. We can look for a compromise that works for both of us. If you are paying out of pocket, you can ask for a Good Faith Estimate before we start.
This is not a generalist practice for everyone. It is not a good match if you want someone to tell you what to do, wipe out symptoms, or hand you a ten-step plan. It is also not a highly clinical, diagnosis-centered experience. If you are not open to curiosity, collaboration, or trying something different, I am probably not your person. That is okay.
A few sentences is enough. I will write back within two business days. What you send stays private.
