Hi! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and have been working with clients for 6 years now. I have an MS in Counseling and a BA in Psychology. I work with couples on communication skills, resolving conflict, healing from infidelity, and reconnection. I also work moms and motherhood difficulties and adult individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, phase of life issues, and identity exploration, to name a few. I have experience working with the Mormon and Christian communities.

I specialize in childhood trauma & how it shows up in our adult life. My experiences include: relationship issues, dealing with addiction & how it affects the entire family, personality disorders, codependency, depression and anxiety. I have continuing education in Gottman Marriage therapy, Internal family systems, and integrative therapy.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a Master’s in Rehabilitation Counseling and Disability Studies from Langston University. I have 6 years of clinical experience working with teens, also, teens in transition to adulthood, college students, women, men, and single mom's in addition to single dad's reconnect to their true selves. Trauma causes a disconnect from our true selves and in order to heal we must reconnect. I work with client's who have experienced unprocessed traumas, depression and anxiety to name a few, and I assist them with reconnecting to their true authentic selves. I am available to help guide and support you during your healing journey. If you are navigating peer pressures, individual struggles, parenting issues, grief and life's transitions our work can create a healing process.

My goal as a professional counselor is to build a warm, open, authentic, non-judgmental partnership with my clients. My counseling experience includes working with children, adolescents, and adults. I have worked with residential treatment facilities, Mental Health and Mental Retardation Organizations (MHMR), and as a professional K-12 school counselor in public schools. I also have experience teaching counseling and counseling education post-secondary courses.

My training has prepared me to provide tailored counseling to individuals, couples, and children navigate challenges of marriage, divorce, and illness or loss of loved ones. Along with private practice, I have worked at behavioral hospitals helping clients struggling with challenges of depression, anxiety, and trauma.

I want to help you unlock your greatest potential by addressing what is holding you back.

I graduated from the University of Texas at Arlington in 2014 with a Master's Degree in Social Work. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I have worked in direct practice treating anxiety, depression, PTSD, substance use, and grief and loss.

My name is Dr. Juila Carter, and I've been practicing psychology since 2014. In addition to my doctorate degree, I am board certified in Behavioral and Cognitive therapy through the American Board of Professional Psychology. I have been serving our nation's Veteran's by working as a psychologist with the Department of Veterans Affairs for over 10 years, and continue to do this full time.

Through my work at the VA I've had the privilege of working with Veterans on issues including PTSD, Anxiety disorders, mood disorders, and relationship concerns. Working at the VA has also afforded me the opportunity to continue learning cutting edge treatment strategies including trauma focused treatments, stress reduction techniques, and DBT skills.

While my primary job has been working with Veterans, I have worked with a variety of individuals from a diverse range of backgrounds and presenting issues. I've helped people with anxiety disorders, depression, trauma history, and adjustment concerns, in addition to personality disorders and over controlled coping styles.

In addition to my clinical work, I engage in research on the cause and treatment of personality disorders, and supervise and teach students at the VA and local university.

When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time with my family and kids, and while we are currently pet free, looking forward to getting a dog in the next year. I love being outdoors when it's not the height of TX summer, and enjoy listening to thunderstorms when I get the chance I enjoy reading (Stephen King is my favorite) and watching TV.

As a counselor, I love helping my clients feel empowered, confident, and helping them make meaning out of their difficult life experiences. I have a passion for helping people heal from traumatic experiences and find ways to cope in order to move on in their journey. I specialize in helping people who have experienced Child Sexual Abuse, Sexual Assault, and Domestic Violence. I have also worked with client's struggling with depression, anxiety, and relationship issues.

I am trained in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and love using this model for treatment with children. I am also in the process of being trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy or EMDR.

I believe healing happens in both our mind and our bodies and I work to implement different strategies into treatment in order to connect the mind and body. I take great pride in the progress and success of my clients, and look forward to helping you!
