Key Definitions

What Is Therapy?

Therapy is a place where adults, teens, couples, or families work with a trained mental health professional to make sense of emotions, relationships, behaviors, stress, and life experiences. It can help people build coping skills, work through hard experiences, communicate better, and feel more emotionally steady.

What Is Trauma Therapy?

Trauma therapy helps people work through experiences that overwhelmed their sense of safety, trust, or control. Trauma can affect the mind, body, nervous system, relationships, and self-worth. Trauma-informed therapy may include approaches such as EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy, somatic strategies, mindfulness, and nervous system regulation tools.

What Is EMDR Therapy?

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is an evidence-based therapy that helps people process traumatic memories and distressing life experiences. EMDR can support clients dealing with PTSD, anxiety, grief, panic, and other trauma-related struggles.

What Is ADHD Therapy?

ADHD therapy helps children, teens, and adults understand how ADHD affects attention, executive functioning, emotional regulation, motivation, relationships, and daily life. It can support practical coping skills, self-compassion, organization strategies, and emotional regulation.

What Is Grief Therapy?

Grief therapy offers support when you’re living with loss. That might be the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, identity changes, life transitions, miscarriage, infertility, health changes, or other meaningful losses. Grief counseling helps clients work through their emotions, honor what was lost, and find ways to move forward with support.

What Is Postpartum Therapy?

Postpartum therapy supports new parents dealing with postpartum anxiety, postpartum depression, birth trauma, identity shifts, relationship stress, or the emotional overwhelm that can come with pregnancy, birth, and parenting.

What Is LGBTQIA+ Affirming Therapy?

LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy offers a safe, supportive, inclusive space for clients to explore mental health, identity, relationships, family dynamics, trauma, stress, and life transitions without judgment.

Our Services: Trauma-Informed, Whole-Person Care

We work with people across the lifespan, with a strong focus on trauma-informed therapy and nervous system healing.

Trauma Therapy & EMDR

Trauma affects the body, mind, and spirit. Through trauma therapy, EMDR and somatic-based approaches, we help clients work through experiences that feel “stuck,” so the nervous system can start moving toward safety and regulation.

This work is especially helpful for:

• PTSD and complex trauma
• Childhood attachment wounds
• Medical or birth trauma
• Chronic stress and burnout
• Teenagers dealing with trauma or challenging phases of development

Anxiety & Depression Counseling

Anxiety and depression are often more than thoughts - they live in the body. We help clients understand what’s happening inside them while building practical tools for regulation and relief.

Counseling for Teens

Adolescence is a big time for identity, emotional intensity, and social pressure. We work closely with teens to build emotional awareness, strengthen coping skills, and sort through relationships, identity, and self-worth. We help teens process trauma so they have more room to cope with everything else they’re up against every day.

Postpartum & New Parent Support

Becoming a parent can be beautiful, meaningful, and deeply overwhelming all at once. Many new and expecting parents are caught off guard by how intense the emotional, physical, relational, and identity changes can be during pregnancy, recovery, and the early months. Even when a baby is deeply wanted and loved, your nervous system can still struggle under sleep deprivation, hormonal shifts, overstimulation, pressure to “do everything right,” and the loss of routine and of the person you were before.

At Counseling & Nature Therapy Center, we provide trauma-informed postpartum therapy and support for new parents dealing with postpartum anxiety, postpartum depression, birth trauma, infertility grief, reproductive trauma, identity shifts, relationship stress, perfectionism, intrusive thoughts, emotional overwhelm, and burnout. Many parents quietly carry shame for not feeling the way they expected to feel after having a child. Others grieve the version of themselves, or the life they had, before parenthood. Therapy can be a compassionate, nonjudgmental place to talk about all of it openly.

We also know that unresolved trauma, chronic stress, and nervous system dysregulation can get louder after a baby arrives. Our therapists bring in somatic therapy, mindfulness, EMDR, attachment-focused work, and nervous system regulation tools to help parents feel more grounded, supported, and connected to themselves through this change. Caring for parents is an essential part of caring for families.

ADHD & Neurodivergent Support

We provide affirming, strengths-based therapy for ADHD and for neurodivergent folks, and we recognize that a lot of struggles labeled “behavioral” or “motivational” are really about nervous system overwhelm, chronic stress, trauma, sensory sensitivity, or environments that were never built for neurodiverse ways of thinking and functioning.

Many people with ADHD and other neurodivergence grow up taking in the message that they’re “too much,” “lazy,” “disorganized,” “sensitive,” or somehow failing even though they’re trying incredibly hard to keep up. Over time, that can feed anxiety, shame, burnout, perfectionism, emotional dysregulation, low self-esteem, masking, and a constant sense of not being enough. For some people, trauma and neurodivergence get so tangled together that it’s hard to tell where survival responses end and neurodiverse traits begin.

At Counseling & Nature Therapy Center, we take a trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming approach that honors how complex and individual each client’s experience is. Instead of only chasing symptom reduction or forcing people into rigid expectations, we help clients understand how their brains and nervous systems work and build sustainable, compassionate strategies for daily life, emotional regulation, relationships, executive functioning, and speaking up for themselves.

Our therapists may bring in somatic approaches, mindfulness, nervous system regulation work, trauma-informed therapy, EMDR, DBT-informed skills, and attachment-focused care to support the whole person. We work with teens, adults, parents, and families dealing with ADHD, autism, sensory overwhelm, emotional intensity, rejection sensitivity, executive functioning challenges, burnout, and identity-related struggles. Our goal isn’t to “fix” neurodivergence. It’s to help people feel more understood, more regulated, and supported in ways that fit who they really are.

LGBTQIA+ Affirming Therapy

For many LGBTQIA+ teens and adults, finding a therapy space where they feel emotionally safe, affirmed, and truly understood can be life-changing. Too often, LGBTQIA+ folks have been in places where they felt pressured to hide parts of themselves, explain their identity over and over, or stay on alert for whether they’d be accepted. Over time, that can affect the nervous system, relationships, self-esteem, and overall emotional well-being.

At Counseling & Nature Therapy Center, we believe therapy should be a place where you can show up exactly as you are, without fear of judgment or shame, and without needing to shrink what you’ve been through. Our LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy in Frisco, TX is trauma-informed, compassionate care that honors the complexity of identity, relationships, nervous system responses, and lived experience. Many LGBTQIA+ people carry invisible stress from discrimination, rejection, religious trauma, bullying, family conflict, identity exploration, or being invalidated again and again. That can show up as anxiety, depression, emotional exhaustion, grief, trauma responses, and feeling disconnected from yourself or others.

Therapy can be a steady, supportive space to work through these experiences while building more self-trust, emotional regulation, and resilience. Our therapists bring in trauma-informed therapy, EMDR, somatic work, nervous system regulation tools, mindfulness, and attachment-focused care to support the whole person. Healing isn’t just about thinking differently - it’s emotional, relational, and physical too. Helping the body and nervous system feel safe is often a big part of helping people reconnect with who they really are. For LGBTQIA+ teens especially, affirming mental health support can make a profound difference in identity development, emotional well-being, and long-term mental health. Families and caregivers can also benefit from support as they learn how to strengthen connection, understanding, and emotional safety.

Grief Therapy

Grief can hit the nervous system hard. It often shows up as anxiety, exhaustion, numbness, brain fog, or feeling flooded. At Counseling & Nature Therapy Center, grief therapy in Frisco, TX starts from a compassionate, trauma-informed place that helps clients feel supported, grounded, and safe enough to soften as they live through loss, change, and pain.

Insurance & Accessibility

We believe therapy should be accessible and sustainable.

We currently accept:

• Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS)
• Aetna
• Cigna

We can also provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement when needed.
