Dallas Whole Life Counseling, has been a useful resource for me. In offering online appointments, Dallas Whole Life makes practicing mindfulness simple. Steve is the associate I speak with and hes as dynamic as he is resourceful. I highly recommend the Dallas Whole Life experience.

I worked with Betsy in the office to get a counselor for my mother after the death of my father. Betsy bent over backwards to find the perfect counselor for her. Diane Williams was awesome. She is compassionate and helpful. These people are a gift from God. Our thanks to both Betsy and Diane for all that you do!

I have been seeing Ms.Katz for six months and the improvement in my mental health has been Amazing.The counseling I am receiving has far exceeded my expectations.I highly recommend Dallas Whole Life

I have had an excellent experience with Steve Reedy. What initially began as couples therapy transitioned into personal therapy that helped me address deep-seated issues that have negatively impacted my life for many years. Steve wasnt confrontational and didnt lecture me what my issues were. Instead, he helped lead me until I had those ah ha moments of self discovery. As a result of Steves counseling, I have a whole new, positive attitude about myself, which has changed the way I interact with others as well. Pursuing counseling with Steve has been one of the most rewarding experiences in my life journey. I wholeheartedly recommend Steve.

Ordinarily I am in good spirits. However, as life sometimes has it, I am in a situation that has made me pretty anxious. Dallas Whole Life Counseling (DWLC) was recommended to me. For that I am certainly thankful. Within DWLC I met and have been seeing Breanna Katz for counseling for several months. It has been a blessing as Breanna allows the flexibility to explore issues, yet sensitive enough about the more important issues to guide our conversations toward a more productive outcome.I think it is important to say that at sessions end, I feel better prepared to deal with those important issues that trigger the anxiety. I would, therefore, heartily recommend Breanna Katz and the Dallas Whole Life Counseling center when counseling seems to be the route to take.

In a very short time I have built my trust in Steve Reedy and his professionalism, wisdom, and knowledge. Steves ability to understand and know his patient was above expectations. He has helped me through a breakdown that at first I thought of as a Stigma and now know ways to improve myself through proven methods backed by science and experiments. Steve has provided great exercises that worked some miracles and if continued to be practice at home, therewas further release of anxiety and increased joy. Thanks Steve

Working with Ms. Mata has been wonderful. She really helped me get to the root of the issues and helped me find new ways to handle and view these things in my life. I would definitely recommend Deborah and Dallas Whole Life to anyone looking for answers or to make changes in their life.

Ive known James Robbins for many years. Ive always known him to be a person of high integrity, honesty and compassion. Being a therapist isnt just a job for James, but a calling, Who he is as a therapist is who he is as a person. Hes never been one to fake things. Hes sincere in his concern for his patients, and invests 100% in their getting better. Ive heard James say he learns from his clients, just as they learn from him, and I know how important it is for him to always be improving as a therapist. Hes not one to condescend or judge, as he feels people are doing the best they can in difficult circumstances. James comes from the heart, and is the most dedicated counselor I know. I recommend him to anyone whos ready to take that next step in their life.

Steve is an amazing therapist and does a great job of actively listening during his sessions. I appreciated his ability to be objective and direct about the issues identified during our sessions. As a therapist, I believe he works best with individuals who are self reflective and actually ready to do the work to make change and bring about growth. Ive also recommended him to friends who appreciated his candor and left feeling like they had made significant traction that they hadnt experienced with other therapists.

Went and saw Heather and James Robbins for couples counseling several years ago. Did not feel that we learned a whole lot. It was really expensive because they didnt use insurance, but I was willing to pay it to try and work through my marriage. Went through several sessions and still did not feel like we had got any help. Felt like what was provided was definitely not worth the cost.

I have been a client of both James and Heather Robbins for 4 years now. Initially, I sought therapy to address a difficult situation at the time. However, my experience was so positive that I have continued on as a client. I would say that without a doubt the advice and council I have received has improved the quality of my life significantly. James and Heather have a demeanor and style that is extremely versatile and appealing to all. In fact, when I got engaged I encouraged my fiance start seeing James. My fiance was not a believer in therapy and had never been to see a psychologist before. He found James advice to be so impactful that he now has a regular appointment with him and looks forward to their conversations.It is a unique offering to be able to get couples therapy from a very happily married couple. My fiance and I are very appreciative of all the help James and Heather have given our relationship.

After my father died- I found myself needing expert help processing my grief. I found that expert help with Steve Reedy. Not only did he help me process my grief, but he also helped me with all aspects of my life- including making my marriage even better and helping me with self esteem and even advancing my career. He gave me so many tools to use and carry with me for life. I can not thank him enough for everything he helped me with. He was always professional and understanding and he was flexible with my work schedule to ensure I never missed a session. Thank you Steve for everything!

Deborah, a counselor who is easy to bond with provides a participatory counseling experience. She gave me good feedback and guidance.as a mentor and a counselor. I highly recommend Deborah.

I have been counseling with Steve Reedy since August 2014. I have found his timeline therapy to be especially helpful identifying when I began seeing things through specific filters. I find him to be empathetic, yet he challenges me to move beyond the emotions of the circumstance to begin the process of moving forward, towards a process of growth. At the same time, when I seem detached, he encourages me to find the associated emotions in order to acknowledge them and move forward. I would recommend Steve to my closest friends.

Every individual I have interacted with at Dallas Whole Life has always been professional and warm. Whether it was setting up an appointment time or talking to the clinicians, I have always respected this group! Although my relationship is one of a business nature, I know that finding a great therapist is hard to come by and a very personal endeavor for both clinician and patient. I would not hesitate to recommend this group as a starting point to my friends, families and colleagues in the Dallas area.

Session started good and had high hopes for the therapy but it all went downhill when the therapist got frustrated over my answer from a question she kept asking and accused me of not taking the session seriously by smirking when in reality I was trying to keep cool over sensitive questions being asked to my partner and I. Had to cut myself short off the session while my partner stayed and finish it baffles me the way she talked to me when I didn’t treat her with no disrespect and were paying for her services. It’s therapy I’m going to answer honestly she started by cussing (not directly at us) and asking why were there if it seemed like my partner and I hated each other. We’re there obviously for help with our relationship didn’t drive 20 minutes and pay the fee just to smirk and not take it seriously. This is my third time trying therapy and I’ve given up she acted that way to “challenge” me when all it did was get me frustrated and upset. Also accused me of thinking therapy is a waste of time when I said therapists are there to guide us and we gotta put the other half ourselves apparently she took that as a bad thing. I can’t attest to the other therapists but Deborah was extremely unprofessional.

I have known the Robbins for decades and can attest that they are ethical, talented, and professional mental health providers. Heather and James were a great help to me when I was facing divorce after a long marriage. Today I find myself a content, well-rounded woman who enjoys life on her own terms. Although most of my experience has been with James and Heather, I know that all the professionals at DWLC are absolutely of the highest caliber, and would be happy to work with any of the clinicians at Dallas Whole Life Counseling.

Leslie is the fourth counselor in my life and, without a doubt, the most effective, having great insight and ability to help me let the words come out. My previous therapists, while I appreciate their intent and concern, just couldn’t get beneath the surface where healing could begin because I couldn’t reveal all of my internal struggles. Leslie has been very successful in helping me with this and in addressing them. Please don’t dismiss my high regard for her based on my not having a lot to say about my previous therapists. I’m sure each has had extensive training and experience but we just didn’t click and, as I have discovered, that makes a world of difference. Please also don’t think it was a walk in the park for either of us. Although we were able to break the ice much faster than with any other therapist I had so much buried at various levels of shame, embarrassment, paranoia, fear, and negative self-thinking that it took me a while to open the door all the way and let her in. Once inside though she helped me find my way around and realize much of what I thought was mean or scary in the dark was really pretty harmless in the light. I am grateful to her for opening the windows that she has and appreciate that she’s here to help me with the rest.Leslie is a very smart, insightful, genuine, and charismatic guide for the soul.

I had a very bad experience with James Robbins. He was friendly and seemed eager to assist my husband and I during our first few counseling sessions. After a few weeks he decided to give me a mental illness diagnosis (he is not a doctor), and also proceeded to tell me information about the medication I was taking (advice on how to take it, when to take it etc.) again, he is not a doctor. As if that isnt bad enough he also told me that I wasnt old enough to have had a long term relationship. I am not sure where he feels he has the authority on what constitutes a long term relationship or not? Needless to say his belittling comments were unnecessary and caused a great deal of contention during our counseling session and after between myself and my husband. I felt as if he was not professional in the sense that he basically took my husbands side if you will instead of maintaining neutral as a good therapist should and help us to see the truth of our situation. His true colors started to show after a while and he was not a nice person nor an effective therapist. I cannot and would not recommend him. As a therapist his number one priority is to do no harm, he made an already tough situation between my husband and myself even worse after our final session. Stay away.

I personally worked with Steve for a year to deal with depression and anxiety. He couldnt have been more professional. He never tried to get me to feel things that werent there. He listened attentively and gave sound advice. I was able to speak freely and never felt judged or belittled. He made me feel comfortable and safe.

I would like to say after working in this field for a while I absolutely love working at Dallas Whole Life , the owners Dr Heather and James Robbins actually care about connecting you with the right therapists , so your needs are met. , They are definitely in this business to help others. Our therapists are the best ! I cant say enough about the therapists , the owners and the difference we want to make , Its a great place to be !!!! Betsy Carter

James is truly talented and patient. He does a great job listening without judging and makes it easy for the patient to open up and get the help that they need.

My experience with Steve Reedy was absolutely top notch. My time spent with Steve was both positive and rewarding. I always recommend Steve to friends and family.

I had the pleasure of working with DWLC, its owners, Heather and James and superb therapists and staff for five years. They achieved excellent results with many clients. The time and care they spend during and after counseling sessions show that this counseling center isnt a job but a passion.

I recently started counseling here with Meri Rule! She is WONDERFUL - absolutely wonderful. I’ve had therapists in the past that really weren’t fully engaged or passionate about counseling/helping ... which made me feel worse...it was disappointing so I gave up for a few years. Meri has opened my eyes to a lot of important things - and really relates to me, actually cares!! It’s refreshing to find passionate people, eager to help.... thank you Dallas Whole Life, Meri is a true gem and angel from heaven!!!ALSO....I Love the waiting room and refreshments — it’s the little things. :)

I had high hopes but the amount of religious pressure and lack of awareness at this place pushed me away. My therapist appeared upset that I didnt have the same religious beliefs and it felt like he needed therapy more than myself. I wont be going back.

We only had a few counseling sessions with Steve and it was going good at first, but we stopped going because there was a bit of an unprofessionalness in our last session. I started to bring up my son and was told why are you bringing this up in couples therapy. Are you serious? Is what I thought. I was completely taken back by that. When I called to schedule an appointment somewhere else I asked to make sure it was okay to bring up the kids if need be. They told me I dont see why that would be a problem. Just from looking at the responses from previous reviews just confirms the fact that this group of counselors are all unprofessional. I dont see why a licensed counselor would get so defensive theyd feel the need to respond. I guess they need the money that badly.

I would highly recommend Dr. Lynn if youre going through a tough time, no matter what the reason. She was extremely knowledgeable and professional, and she made me feel at ease the entire time.

I value James as a counselor and as a friend. His knowledge and compassion make him a model therapist. I trust him completely.

I have seen Emily Maberry at Dallas Whole Life Counseling for over a year due to anxiety, depression and some difficult life decisions. I would definitely recommend her to anyone curious about therapy, but afraid to follow through and make an appointment. That was me a year ago due to a previous bad therapry experience, but with Emily I feel completely at ease, never judged in any way or rushed through a session.Also, she has the most amazing memory! Im serious, she can recall things we disscussed months ago and seems genuinely invested in how my life is going.

It was a blessing I found Steve Reedy at Dallas Whole Life. Sometimes its difficult to find a good fit. You have to trust them, open up, be vulnerable and I was excited to think I found a match were somone could help me. I cried almost our entire sessions, but he was kind, stern and really cared. Steve change the direction of my life for the better.I was a mess. Unemployed, in sad marriage, lonely and depressed. All I would do was cry. Steve made be realize I deserved more, I was strong, and I didnt lose the happy true me like I thought I did. Now Im blessed, getting job offers, using all the tools Steve taught me, even when I didnt like learning what he was showing me was truly real, its what I so needed to hear. Thank you for the fresh start and your impactful advice. You have great intuition. I recommend seeing Steve since he sees the world as simple and how to ride the craZy roller coaster at the same time. I just wanted to say thank you Steve and Im a kinder person, know my worth and breathe easier! No more tears- ok not very often at all ;).

My experience with James and Dr. Heather Robinson has been a positive friendship and professional relationship that has spanned the past seven years. I was a therapist with Dallas Whole Life Counseling for a little over a year in 2008-2009. Daniel was very helpful in organizing my schedule and the practice had a very unique niche because of the location and focus for couples. This is one of their strengths, marriage counseling. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist- Associate and I respect the work that James and Heather are uniquely qualified to perform. They produce informative emails and help many hundreds of couples in the D/FW area. James is innovative and gifted as a therapist and businessman. Heather is a great psychologist and researcher. I would recomend them or Deana Dorta for therapy.

Unfortunately, I had a bad experience with James Robbins (though, in fairness, not completely). I understand he comes across as really friendly, because he started out friendly with me. About 4 or 5 weeks into our sessions (April 15) his demeanor COMPLETELY changed and I did not feel that his head was in the game with me afterward. Literally the last thing he said to me at our last session (although it didnt become our last session until he said this): I dont care if youre in therapy or not. It doesnt matter at all to me. Those were his words to my face that I would attest to under oath. And, no, they were not friendly or professional detachment- it felt to me as if there was a genuine, personal contempt virtually dripping from his voice.I had finally begun to suspect that, rather than just having tough sessions, he and I were not a good therapeutic fit for a couple of weeks, but he was so BLATANT and such a A-HOLE (IMO) all at once that I almost couldnt believe it. It was like he had been hiding a completly different person underneath that friendly exterior.I worked with him for about 10 weeks or so and I would guess he was at least 10 minutes late for our 11 AM sessions 6 or 7 times... and, to be fair, he was late a couple of times because his session with a client before me ran over, which is totally fine- we all need a couple of extra minutes sometimes. But usually I was his first appointment of the day and he was just late and unprepared.He had a habit of giving me assignments to work on during the time between our sessions, but when the time came at the following session to go over the work, he would have either forgotten about it (Pro Tip: thats why we invented pen and paper) or it wasnt important anymore (and not in the it was just important for YOU to go through the exercise, we dont need to discuss- it was generally an off-handed, oh, yeah, thats right. oh well, we dont need to go over that).For all of the sparkling marketing Mr. Robbins does for himself, he seemed to me unable to adjust his approach to meet his clients at who they are, or however it is phrased on his website. I had put myself in his hands and had followed his lead for several weeks, but didnt feel like he was hitting the correct issues. I figured that, if Im seeking therapy, I might not be able to see myself accurately from the outside and so I truly tried to listen to and internalize what he was saying. His basic counsel seemed to consist of tough love and telling it like it is (which isnt a particularly artful method of therapy, but it seemed thats basically what hes capable of) and I genuinely, truly tried to accept what he was saying.When I realized that, no, he really is missing the mark pretty completely I told him (as constructively as I could) that he should maybe try a different approach, his body language became VERY tense and he seemed (i.e. was) EXTREMELY put off. The vibe I got was how dare you tell me my business. Thats when he gave me the dressing down that ended with I dont care if youre in therapy or not and we ended our sessions.Look, he did SOME good for me- and Ill break my own HIPAA confidentiality here- he did get me to someone who finally (after decades of living with it) diagnosed me as ADHD. Having that issue treated has been invaluable for me and I truly appreciate that Mr. Robbins was able to see that and direct me to the correct parties for treatment. But a lifetime of dealing with significant untreated ADHD can leave some pretty serious emotional destruction, and simply reaching the correct diagnosis and getting on the correct medications is only half the battle. The part that I was counting on Mr. Robbins for: helping to get on top of all of the anger, the hurt, the destroyed relationships and the parts of your life that you cant get back, he basically told me I dont care if youre in therapy or notI do not recommend Mr. Robbins.

My therapist emily seemed too cancel quite often almost once a week if I had two session in one week talked to the owner and or simply told to take it up with her.
