Find a therapist in Texas — covered by insurance

Coming from a family of Educators and having over 20 years of experience in education and counseling, has provided me with the opportunity to service a variety of individuals and has given me a strong desire to help children as young as 5 years of age to adults and families in crisis situations. I also believe our experiences help create who we are, and each day we are given an opportunity to start new.

Greetings!

My name is Twyla Terry-McCarrell, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Dallas, Texas, serving clients across Texas, Oklahoma, and Georgia via telehealth. I hold a master’s degree in counseling from Dallas Theological Seminary and specialize in trauma-informed therapy. I help adults navigate and heal from experiences of abandonment, anxiety, depression, grief, PTSD, and CPTSD. My practice is dedicated to creating a safe, compassionate space where you can explore your story, reclaim your voice, and move toward lasting recovery.

I have worked in both private practice and residential treatment settings with people who have experienced relational trauma. While my recent work has been adolescents in foster care, I have worked with adults of all ages with a variety of presenting issues. I enjoy helping teens and family members impacted by substance use, people struggling with attachment issues and families navigating adoption or the foster care system.

You've been called too much, or not enough. Maybe both, depending on the room. I work with individuals and couples in affirming, culturally responsive therapy. POC, LGBTQIA+ folks, people in ENM and nontraditional relationships, and anyone who's spent a lifetime translating themselves to be understood. Clients come in carrying grief, people-pleasing patterns, identity questions, the weight of being misread, or a relationship that's drifted, gone quiet, or is trying to find a new shape that actually fits. I'll challenge you and stay warm doing it. I don't ask you to shrink or perform to be met. This is a space to be known in full.

I help adults who feel stuck in anxiety, depression, trauma, or grief find steadier ground and move forward with more clarity and confidence. With over 20 years of experience, I support adults through life transitions, loss, and emotional pain that can feel hard to carry alone. I’m especially passionate about helping women navigate motherhood, identity shifts, and grief. I offer sessions in English and Spanish.

I feel called to help women navigate life as a mom, wife, friend, and problem solver.

Throughout my ten years of counseling I have worked with various clients seeking help with anxiety, depression, trauma, and anger management. I feel called to help women navigate life as a mom, wife, friend, and problem solver.

I am a licensed mental health professional who works with individuals navigating stress, anxiety, life transitions, and the emotional impact of difficult experiences. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and understood as they work through life’s challenges.

I believe therapy is most effective when it is a collaborative process. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I take the time to understand each person’s unique experiences, strengths, and goals. Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about what comes next. Together, we explore those challenges, build insight, and identify practical steps toward meaningful change.

I approach therapy with curiosity, compassion, and deep respect for each person’s story. My hope is that clients leave each session feeling more grounded, empowered, and confident in their ability to navigate life’s challenges and move forward with greater clarity.

I have over 24 years of experience working with all different age groups and diagnoses. I have extensive experience working with complex trauma to include military, veteran and first responder related experiences. I have years of experience working with PTSD, moral injury and survivor's guilt.
