Therapy for Individuals, Families, and Couples

You Deserve Support That Truly Understands You.

At Brightway Counseling & Wellness, we help kids, teens, adults, and families find relief, connection, and hope. Whether your child is struggling with big feelings, your teen feels stuck, or your relationship needs repair, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

Our licensed therapists in Plano provide evidence-based care in a warm, welcoming space so you and your family can heal and grow with confidence.

No matter where you are in your journey, we’ll meet you with compassion, respect, and practical tools to move forward. Explore how we can help.

  • Help your child express big feelings, build confidence, and grow through the power of play. Our child therapists create a warm, supportive environment where kids feel safe to be themselves.

  • Adolescence is tough. We help teens navigate anxiety, stress, and self-esteem struggles while building coping skills and resilience.

  • You don’t have to figure it all out alone. Our parent coaching gives you tools and strategies to feel more confident and connected in your parenting.

  • Gain insight, heal old wounds, and find new ways to thrive. We support adults facing anxiety, depression, life transitions, and more.

  • Strengthen trust and communication with your partner. Whether you’re feeling disconnected or in crisis, we’re here to help you rebuild and reconnect.
