Welcome! I am so glad you are here. My name is Dr. Cole. I am a licensed clinical psychologist and I am currently living in the Dallas area. Over my ten years of training (yes, you read that correctly, ten!), I have come to find that access and stigma are the biggest barriers to mental health. I have trained in a wide variety of settings (hospitals, private practices, community counseling centers, and college counseling centers) and one truth has continually rung true— people will seek out help if it is available to them. Helping people is my biggest passion in life. After spending years learning as much as I can, I am ready to create a space where people can come for refuge, release, peace, and connection. Finding help can feel overwhelming, daunting, and scary. It is a vulnerable feeling to trust someone with your deepest insecurities and pain. My goal is to be a soft place to land where you feel compassion and understanding. We all need someone in our lives who will listen without judgment and care for us without conditions. Anxiety, depression, pain, and illness do not have to take away your power any longer. Struggling with mental health can be an all-consuming and isolating experience. You don't have to walk this path alone. Knowing yourself, having love and care for yourself, and gaining the skills to nurture yourself are empowering experiences I hope to help you achieve. We can all get stuck in ruts every now and then. I hope that together we can find a more confident and empowered version of yourself who feels ready to take on anything life has to offer. I can help you find the peace you are looking for and provide you with empathy and gentleness along the way. If you are reading this, you have already taken the hardest step, which is admitting you might need a little help on your journey. Check out my website for more information about me and what I have to offer. Let's start this path to healing!
