Counseling

Reader Comments

Gretchen has been a blessing to my family in many ways. We needed a counselor that really understands the impacts of childhood trauma and the entire family units health as a whole. That is really hard to find in North Texas. She has a genuine love for what she does and that shows in her work. She will explore multiple modalities to best help your loved one. As well she has a genuine compassion and understanding of the complexities that may arise and sensitive nature of her work. Her hours and availability have always been flexible and accommodating with some evening and lunch time appointments. —Meghan, McKinney

Her expertise in the area of trauma is by far the best we have experienced in the DFW metroplex. She is extremely professional always willing to work with our schedule and my children respond so well to her. She has truly saved my children’s lives. —Tracy,  Richardson

Gretchen has worked with my family for several years. We have worked on long term goals but she has always been available to meet and adjust the treatment plan whenever an acute situation has developed. As a parent I have learned how to better communicate with my children and how to help them be better at communicating their feelings and needs with me. —Karen, Dallas

Gretchen was just wonderful with my son (7), who had had a traumatic experience and needed help moving past it and with emotionally regulating. She has seen him throughout the school year and he has improved so much and hit all of his goals. Gretchen is insightful, thorough, caring and wonderful with kids. I highly recommend her! —Meena, Allen

In just a few parent & family therapy sessions, Gretchen Manes managed to pull aside the “curtain” of confusion and help us better understand how to meet the needs of our teenage daughter. Prior to Gretchen we had struggled for almost 5 years under the misdirected “guidance” of other counselors making minimal progress. We had almost lost hope that our family would ever be able to connect and experience a healthy dynamic. Thanks to Gretchen’s observations, insights and parenting strategies we are now on a positive path and our daughter appears to be thriving as a result. —Belinda, Dallas
