Each therapist at Argyle Family Counseling carries a deep passion for working with children and adolescents, ages 4-17, as this can be a time of both disorientation and discovery. Our goal is to help the next generation be able to navigate through life's rapid changes, triumphs and challenges in a way that is both meaningful and productive.
We utilize a variety of therapeutic methods such as play therapy, sand tray therapy, EMDR and creative expressions to facilitate meaningful change.

Trauma treatment is an important part of healing from any kind of trauma — whether you’ve experienced it yourself or are supporting someone else through it. At Argyle Family Counseling, trauma treatment is focused on how trauma affects the mind and body, both during and after the event(s) and we provide a personalized treatment approach to explore ways you can move forward in your life after living through something traumatic.

We partner with Braveheart Equine Assisted Therapy, which is facilitated by Cara Strickland, to provide somatic and experiential modalities to help our clients recover from traumatic events and other emotional disturbances. We utilize the innate human and horse connection to build distress tolerance, adaptability and impulse control that otherwise could interfere with healthy relationships and connection

What Clients Are Saying…
-
“My daughter had only been offered medicine for her panic attacks by other professionals, but I believed there had to be something else that would help my daughter. I will be forever grateful for finding Serena and the connection, professionality, and expertise she has that restored my daughter's mental health.”
– Cindy
-
“I was not raised in a home that seeks out help of any kind. We just punch through. That changed when our son needed help in ways beyond our ability, which introduced us to Sherry. She helped our family in many ways we never knew we needed. EMDR therapy personally to finally live into who God created me to be. I was able to shed the false self that told me nothing but lies. I am now finishing my bachelor’s degree. Something I never thought I could do before counseling. Sherry is a treasured gift to me and our family.”
