Joel Thomas, MS, LPC, NCC

Licensed Professional Counselor
(469) 333-6163 connect@texaschristiancounseling.com

I offer a welcoming, non-judgmental space where teens and adult individuals can process their situation and take positive strides toward healing and recovery. Whether you’re feeling trapped or overwhelmed by feelings that won’t go away, dealing with trauma including grief and loss, struggling with addiction of some kind, or facing other concerns, I would be honored to walk alongside you. Through the wisdom and strength of Jesus Christ, we can break every chain that holds you back from true peace of mind and spirit.
