Renee Morales

Early on, I worked with a lot of adults in their 20's and 30's, and I noticed that many experienced similar struggles and had similar goals for therapy. They were looking for meaningful connections, a sense of purpose in their jobs, and help with overwhelming anxiety about the future. Some were dealing with difficult family situations and past trauma that were having negative effects on their self-esteem and ability to communicate effective boundaries. My purpose in counseling is to help you let go of what is holding you back and start moving forward. In therapy, we work collaboratively to set goals, explore limiting beliefs, explore any past trauma and its effect on the present, and learn better ways of communicating needs and boundaries to others. My training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) has helped my clients greatly. EFT is an evidence-based approach, rooted in the science of emotions and attachment, which helps people to create secure connection with themselves and others.

I believe that mental health is health, and that caring for yourself emotionally and mentally is just as important as taking care of yourself physically. I believe that everyone should have access to mental health counseling, and for that reason I offer a number of sliding-scale spots in my practice. I am a native Dallasite, a graduate of Baylor (BA) and Amberton (MA), a wife to my fun husband of 31 years, and a mom of two amazing grown daughters who inspire me. Some of my favorite things are my book club, my dance classes, the Dallas Stars, and South Padre Island. I volunteer weekly with the Crisis Text Line, and I have the absolute cutest rescue cat named Coco. If you want to learn more about how I can help, message me.
