Transforming Lives, One Session at a Time
Welcome to Family Counseling Place, where we strive to create a warm, friendly atmosphere where clients feel safe to confidentially discuss their concerns, feelings of fear and anxiety, and intimate personal and relational problems. Our staff offers a wide range of counseling services in Carrollton, Texas, designed to help individuals, marriages, and entire families. We use traditional values of honesty, integrity, and mutual respect.
A keystone of our practice is providing homework for clients to complete outside of therapy. This reduces therapy time and cost, keeps clients focused on finding solutions to their problems, and builds self-esteem and confidence as clients learn and practice new skills and techniques for themselves in their own environment. Clients have their choice of male or female therapists with daytime, evening, or Saturday appointments. We offer in-person and telehealth appointments, making it convenient for clients from surrounding cities such as Frisco, Plano, The Colony, Little Elm, Lewisville, Coppell, Flower Mound, Richardson, and more.
Our team is dedicated to providing exceptional care. Gale Hartschuh, LMFT, LPC, Life Coach, holds a Master's degree in Family Therapy and specializes in working with couples on communication and intimacy issues, parenting, and discipline techniques. Dan Anderson, LCSW, offers a unique perspective with his focus on individual and couples counseling. Laurel Starkweather, LPC Associate, provides a supportive and empathetic approach to her clients.
Our clients have shared their positive experiences with us, highlighting the supportive nature of our staff, the effectiveness of our services, and the comfort they feel in our sessions. We are proud to have a team that is dedicated to helping individuals, marriages, and families find solutions to their challenges.
