Request AppointmentI want to congratulate you on your first step toward a better you. Many things could stand in the way of taking the first step toward looking for a counselor. Now that you’re here, I’d love to tell you some things about myself that may give you confidence in taking the next step of reaching out to a professional who is passionate about seeing you reach the goals you have for yourself and your family.
First, I believe that your healing journey has already begun. Whether you just realized you needed to make a change today or it’s something you’ve known for a while, I believe that you are moving in the direction of getting better every day. I also believe that restoration is inevitable, it is just a matter of how quickly it is reached and noticing it when it happens. Finally, I believe that you deserve to have someone come alongside you for a fair price that can help you reach your goals. Let me tell you why that may be me.
I am a graduate student in my final two semesters at Liberty University. I have experience working with a lot of different people, but common themes that many of my clients share are traumatic histories, chronic pain, anxiety, and strained family relationships. I believe that a person’s history is important but not the only important factor. For this reason, I integrate a body-oriented, holistic approach to almost every session (you can read about Polyvagal Theory or ask me about it to learn more). I am a continual learner both because I love it and because I believe that I can help you more if I am constantly growing my knowledge base.
If you feel this could be the right fit for you, the next step you can take is to reach out to me or anyone else qualified to help you or your family. I would love to work with you and wish you well on your healing path.

Request AppointmentI believe that therapy is most successful when there is a safe space for clients to come exactly as they are. The therapy room should be the place for individuals and couples to authentically show up no matter their struggle, knowing that I will meet them with support, encouragement, and healing. My goal is to join with my clients to find their unique path towards healing and growth. Whether it is conflict, grief, anxiety, disappointment, relationship issues, life transitions, or processing the past, no one should have to walk through their struggles alone.
In all my work, I am passionate about creating a welcoming space that fosters compassion, authenticity, openness—and hopefully joy. I am passionate about delivering a meaningful experience for my clients and seek to provide them with moments of discovery about themselves and their partners.
In my practice, I use a variety of counseling techniques. With individuals, I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to process how to move through the challenges in life with acceptance rather than avoidance. In my work in couples and relationships, I use the Developmental Model, which focuses on how relationships evolve and how partners can work to grow together to foster connection and relationship satisfaction. I am certified in Prepare/Enrich, which is one of the most widely respected premarital programs. I am also certified in the Enneagram testing and analysis, which is a way to understand different personality types.
Allie Brookman is currently a graduate student at Southern Methodist University. She is currently working towards a Master’s degree in Counseling and Marriage and Family Therapy. She is expecting to graduate in August 2025. During her time at SMU, Allie has strived to learn and experience in a way that supports her work with individuals, couples, families, and groups. Before her time at SMU, Allie attended the University of Oklahoma and obtained a bachelor’s degree in business, focusing on non-profit organizations. After graduating, she worked with women who had experienced sexual exploitation. This experience taught her about the power of connected relationships and that it is important not to walk through healing alone, ultimately leading to her choosing counseling as a profession.

Tiara Lipps, J.D., M.A., LMFT-Associate
Location: Uptown Dallas
Speciality: Anxiety Career Counseling Couples Grief Infidelity Marital Parenting Spirituality Stress
Price: $165/hr
Request AppointmentThere is a common adage that love is the most powerful force in the world. Great academic minds such as Albert Einstein along with great social reformers such Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. have all professed its transformative power. With every year of my life, I am more and more convinced that love does, in fact, have the ability to nourish, heal, liberate, calm, strengthen and even embolden every soul. To be loved and to love, in that order, is the call of every person’s heart.
Love is inherently relational, and my heart is to help people experience the transformative power of love in their relationships with themselves and with others. Of particular interest is working with couples and parents. I have worked with couples experiencing communication problems, infidelity and blended families. I have also worked with adults experiencing life and career transitions.

Rhonda Wright, M.A., LCDC
Location: North Dallas
Speciality: Addiction Alcohol Use Anger Management Anxiety Behavioral Issues Coping Skills Depression Individual Self Esteem Spirituality Substance Use
Price: $115/hr
Request AppointmentRhonda Wright is equipped and authorized to see clients with substance use issues and family/friends of those involved with substance use.
As a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor, I support individuals with the disease of addiction to help them find a new way of life. This journey involves a changing behaviors, recognizing and learning how to deal with unhealthy emotions and irrational beliefs, and learning how to use mindfulness as a skill. I like to let people know that putting down the substance is easy, it is keeping it down where the work comes in because using drugs and alcohol is an outward expression of what is going on internally.
All relationships are grounded on a foundation that two or more people either choose to build upon or destroy. As individuals grow to know each other they decide to invest in the relationship. With this investment, there will be conflicts and disagreements. This is a very crucial area of the relationship because the decision needs to be made whether or not a withdrawal should be made or if the relationship is valuable enough to continue the investment. As the relationship grows the investment grows and the foundation becomes stronger. No matter the storms that may come what has been built may be destroyed but the foundation will remain where rebuilding and repair can begin. The way I view therapy is from a solution-focused approach and with this approach I meet people where they are and help them repair and rebuild those areas that have been hit by strong storms.
My goal is to help you find your strengths and develop your identity as an individual, as a couple, and as a family. We are always changing and growing in stages and through these stages, those in our lives are affected by the change. I believe that when a person can change the way they treat themselves they will change the way they treat others.
Rhonda is a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC) in Texas (#15662) with a passion for helping individuals and couples overcome addiction and achieve mental wellness.

Rhonda is proficient in theoretical orientations such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, and Social Learning Theory. The approach she uses most is to help clients is a client-centered orientation, meeting the individual and couple at their point of need and concerns. She believes the client-therapist relationship is an alliance where they meet to collaborate on helping the client gain wellness and wholeness. She is a minister trained to provide pastoral counseling if needed as well as a published author of “Knowing Jesus in the Broken places-Wounds Healed by His Scars” and a daily devotional journal “A Land Flowing with Milk and Honey.” This combination of degrees allows her to offer a holistic approach to treatment, addressing her clients’ physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.
