About me

I am licensed in Texas with 15 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, relationship issues, & trauma and narcissistic abuse. I also work with those struggling with sex addiction and their partners. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey. You may visit my personal website at thecounselingservice.com or my youtube channel by searching for Dee Gardner for more information.
