Email: cruggles@wefixbrains.com

Website: https://wefixbrains.com/therapists/courtney-ruggles

About: Courtney’s desire is to come around couples, individuals, and teens seeking support and desiring to make positive changes in their overall wellness. Many clients find themselves “stuck,” unable to configure an avenue that points them in the right direction. Courtney’s goal is to guide her clients in accepting themselves, creating new ways of thinking, and helping restore mental, physical, and emotional freedom.

As your counselor, Courtney will help you develop a fresh perspective to reach restoration and prosperity. You can expect to receive the highest level of care from her based on acceptance, genuineness and empathic understanding. She will continuously strive to create a safe and welcoming therapeutic environment, where you can freely explore and share your thoughts, ideas, goals, and needs.

As a former athlete, teacher, and coach, Courtney has the opportunity to connect with students and athletes who find themselves struggling with school, sports, and pressures that come with performing on the field and in the classroom. This includes supporting parents as they balance the needs of the individual and family unit.

About: I work with individuals and couples, with a particular focus on relationship dynamics, communication, trust, and emotional connection. I incorporate evidence-based approaches such as the Gottman Method and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I also offer couples intensives for those who prefer a more focused and structured approach to working through relationship challenges.

Akiva Benjamin O’Connor

Practice Name: The Next Chapter Counseling

Email: akiva@tnccounseling.com

About: Many clients come to therapy for issues related to self-image, conflict, depression and anxiety, and recovering from traumatic events like abuse and infidelity. When working with me clients discover about their value systems and what is important to them, and may find that their behaviors and interactions are out of sync with what they hold dear. We work together to figure out what is getting in their way and how to make better choices with what they have in front of them.

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.

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.

Brad Ashley

Practice Name: Healing Journey Counseling

Email: brad@healingjourneytherapy.com

About: I specialize in helping men who struggle with unwanted sexual behavior and helping couples heal from relationship trauma, whether that trauma stems from challenges within a marriage or past experiences that have been brought into the relationship. Together, we can work to uncover the root causes of your struggles, whether it’s unaddressed emotional pain, unhealthy coping mechanisms, or the underlying beliefs that continue to drive your actions. While my specialty includes relationship trauma and men struggling with unwanted sexual behaviors, my clinical experience includes treatment of a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, and multiple compulsive/addictive behaviors.

In addition to running Healing Journey Counseling, my wife Leah and I run the Sexual Integrity and Betrayal Trauma Ministry at Cottonwood Creek Church. My educational background includes a BS in Psychology from Texas A&M University and a MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University. We have 2 beautiful children and love being anywhere outdoors.
