Emily Pennington

Practice Name: The Next Chapter Counseling

Email: Emily@tnccounseling.com

About: I specialize in working with teens and adults who are navigating anxiety (including social anxiety), depression, ADHD and other forms of neurodivergence, spirituality, low self-esteem, trauma, work or school stress, major life transitions, friendship struggles, and dating/relationship issues.

I have such a heart for walking with people through these challenges — not just because I’m trained in it, but because I’ve been there, too. As someone who has lived with severe anxiety and more recently been diagnosed with ADHD, I know how overwhelming it can feel. My passion is helping clients move from stuck and scattered to confident, grounded, and empowered.

Bethany Huang

Practice Name: The Restoring Place

Email: bh-therestoringplace@lydiashen.com

About:

Growing up, therapy seemed taboo and only for weak people. How does talking to someone actually help me with my depression and anxiety? And why can’t I figure it out on my own? However as I’ve also gone to therapy, I’ve discovered that it takes courage and intentionality. Sometimes having someone to talk to, who will listen to all I have to say, makes all the difference. The process of change and better understanding of yourself through therapy can be difficult but I believe it is worth it. You are strong. There is hope. I believe that every person has a unique story. It would be an honor to walk alongside you through life, whether you find yourself in the ups or the downs.
My approach in counseling is centered on Person Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I desire to create an environment where you can be an active participant in your therapy. My specialities include anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes.

Marcy Blake, LPC

Practice Name: Peace by Piece

Email: mblake@pbp-counseling.com

About: I started my counseling career in 2005 and have had the privilege to walk alongside children, teens and adults as they seek change through healing and understanding. I truly believe everyone can benefit from the counseling process and a counselor relationship. I love seeing clients learn new ways of thinking and healthy, effective ways of coping that can be used to mend past hurts, solve present problems and be called upon for future struggles. Using a cognitive-behavioral approach, I strive to help clients identify negative thought patterns and replace them with truthful, healthy thoughts. It’s these new beliefs that will give way to new feelings and behavioral patterns.

I find it particularly rewarding to work with stressed out, anxious teens struggling to manage unrealistic expectations. It can be so difficult to be a teenager these days. Watching them weave together new ways of thinking, coping skills, increased self-awareness, healthy ways of communicating and a strong sense of self as they work to become a stronger, more whole person is a beautiful process.

Areas of professional interest include the following treatment areas: Anxiety, ADHD in children, Boundaries in relationships, Children of divorce, Codependent relationships, Decision making, Depression, Family issues, Grief and loss, Managing stress, OCD, Parenting issues, Self-esteem and self-worth, Shame and guilt, and Social Anxiety. I enjoy working with children as young as eight, teenagers, college students and women. I have a Master of Arts in Counseling and am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas. I am in network with Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Health Care, Cigna and Aetna insurance. I see all clients at Cottonwood Creek Church and also offer virtual sessions.

Lydia Shen

Practice Name:The Restoring Place

Email: therestoringplace@lydiashen.com

About: From striving for perfection to rest in the freedom of authenticity and grace, Lydia’s journey is one of transformation. Growing up in a culture where emotions were rarely expressed, she learned early on to appear “put together” while quietly struggling inside. Through her own process of healing, Lydia got to experience the freedom of emotional honesty and God’s heart for restoration—a process that deeply shapes the way she walks with her clients today.

Originally from China, Lydia earned a Master of Science in Cognitive Neuroscience before moving to Dallas to complete her Master of Arts in Counseling at Dallas Theological Seminary. This blend of scientific training, theological depth, and lived cross-cultural experience gives her a unique perspective in understanding both the emotional and spiritual dimensions of healing.
Lydia specializes in couples counseling and trauma recovery, with a particular focus on cross-cultural relationships and individuals navigating cultural or identity transitions. She is trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)—approaches that help clients restore safety, connection, and hope.
Lydia believes healing begins when we feel seen and understood, and her passion is helping people rebuild connection—with themselves, with others, and with God.
Married for over a decade and a mother of three energetic boys, Lydia values family, authenticity, and faith. She considers it an honor to walk alongside individuals and couples who desire to grow in emotional health, relational wholeness, and a renewed sense of God’s peace in their story.
