Therapy in Argyle, TX

Why People in Argyle Reach Out

There is rarely one clean reason. These are the situations that most often bring people in the door here:

• A new baby, and it doesn't feel the way it was supposed to. Postpartum anxiety, intrusive thoughts, rage, or a numbness nobody warned you about.
• A birth or medical experience that still feels present. You flinch at the memory, avoid the hospital, or cannot watch birth scenes on television.
• Trying to conceive, or loss. Infertility, miscarriage, and pregnancy loss are grief, and they are grief that people around you often do not know how to acknowledge.
• Anxiety that has quietly taken over. Overthinking, over-planning, physical symptoms with a clean bill of health, and exhaustion from holding it all together.
• A marriage that has gone quiet. Especially common in the years after children arrive, when you become excellent co-parents and something else falls away.
• Old trauma surfacing now. Becoming a parent frequently reopens things about your own childhood you thought were long settled.
• Being the one everyone leans on. High-functioning, capable, exhausted, and privately not okay.

Who Rooted Healing Works With

In Argyle and the surrounding Denton County communities, that most often means:

• Mothers in pregnancy, postpartum, or the first years of parenting
• Women navigating identity, boundaries, or burnout
• Couples in the transition to parenthood, or long after it
• Adults carrying trauma, whether recent or from childhood
• Teens aged 16 and up
• Therapists and healthcare workers who need their own confidential space

Counseling Services Offered in Argyle

Every service below is available in person at the Argyle office or by telehealth across Texas and California:

• Perinatal & Postpartum Therapy

  Support through fertility struggles, pregnancy, birth, and the first years of parenthood. Briana is a Certified Perinatal Mental Health provider (PMH-C) — a credential held by a small fraction of therapists — and this is the heart of the practice.

• Postpartum Anxiety & Depression

  Intrusive thoughts, constant checking, rage that appears from nowhere, or a flatness that doesn't lift. These are common, treatable, and not a sign that you're failing at motherhood.

• EMDR & Trauma Therapy

  EMDR helps the brain reprocess experiences that still feel present — birth trauma, medical trauma, childhood experiences, or a single event that changed how safe the world feels.

• Anxiety Therapy

  For the racing mind that won't switch off, the physical symptoms with no medical cause, and the exhausting work of managing everything so nothing goes wrong.

• Depression Counseling

  When motivation, interest, and energy have drained away and the things that used to matter no longer land. Therapy works on both the thought patterns and the circumstances underneath.

• Couples & Marriage Therapy

  Gottman Method-informed work on the same argument you keep having, the distance that crept in after children, and rebuilding connection you can both feel.

• Women's Counseling

  Identity, boundaries, people-pleasing, and the specific weight of being the person everyone else relies on.

• Therapy for Therapists

  Confidential support for clinicians carrying other people's stories — burnout, compassion fatigue, and the isolation of the work.

What Makes This Practice Different

Argyle and the surrounding towns have several good counseling options, most of them larger group practices. Here is what is genuinely different about this one:

• Certified in perinatal mental health (PMH-C). This is specialist training in pregnancy, postpartum, and reproductive mental health, and very few therapists in Denton County hold it. If that is what you are dealing with, specialist training matters more than proximity.
• Solo practice, by choice. You see Briana. Not an associate, not a rotating clinician, not whoever is available this week.
• EMDR-trained. For trauma that talking about has not resolved, EMDR works differently — and often faster — than talk therapy alone.
• Licensed in two states. Texas (#204978) and California (#108056), so clients who move or split time between the two can keep the same therapist.
• A real consultation before you commit. Fifteen minutes on the phone, free, to find out whether this is a fit. Fit is the single strongest predictor of whether therapy works, and it is worth checking first.

What the First Few Sessions Look Like

Not knowing what actually happens is one of the most common reasons people put off calling. Here is the whole sequence, start to finish:

1. 1A free 15-minute phone call. You describe roughly what is going on — no polish required — and Briana tells you honestly whether this practice is the right place for it. If it isn't, you'll get a direction to try instead.
2. 2Session one is orientation. History, context, what you have already tried, and what you want to be different. You set the pace; nothing has to be told before you're ready to tell it.
3. 3Sessions two and three settle on a direction. Together you name what you're actually working on and how you'll both know it's shifting. For EMDR, this is where preparation and resourcing happen — the reprocessing comes later, and never before you're ready.
4. 4From there, weekly for a while, then less often. Most people start weekly. As things stabilise, sessions space out to fortnightly and then monthly. The goal is for you to finish, not to attend indefinitely.

Cost, Insurance & Logistics

• Sessions are $175 for a 50-minute session, with a free 15-minute phone consultation first so you can decide whether it's a fit before spending anything.
• Rooted Healing is a private-pay practice and does not bill insurance directly. If you have a PPO plan with out-of-network benefits, a monthly superbill is provided that you can submit for reimbursement.
• Clients aged 16 and up are seen — individuals and couples.
• Telehealth is available anywhere in Texas and California, which means sessions can continue through a newborn, a sick child, a work trip, or a week you simply cannot face the drive.

When This Practice Is — and Isn't — the Right Fit

A small specialist practice is genuinely better for some things and genuinely worse for others. Saying so upfront saves everyone time:

If any of the second list applies, one of the larger group practices in Argyle or Denton will serve you better — several offer psychiatry, testing, and child therapy in the same building. It's worth knowing that before you book.
