Tiffany Patton-Barnes
Welcome! My name is Tiffany and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Texas, with a specialties in Neurofeedback, Quantitative EEG's, and Biofeedback. I have over 20 years experience working in the mental health field. I have worked with people experiencing a variety of issues including stress, anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, learning disabilities, ADHD, addictions, eating disorders, autism spectrum disorders, family conflict, marital issues, insomnia, and many more. I have a Master's degree in Rehabilitation Counseling from the University of North Texas (1999) with a specialty in Neurofeedback. My desire to be a Counselor started at a very young age (12) and that never changed. I personally was challenged with many issues growing up and throughout my life including depression, anxiety, OCD, early loss of my mother, abuse, and eating disorders, which has always been my driving force to help others achieve mental happiness and content. My struggles as a young adult and throughout adulthood have taught me to learn from those experiences and be able to turn them into who I am as a Counselor today. I spent my teenage years volunteering with Prevent Blindness and the Lion's club and working with disabilities as well as the crisis hotline . Our ability to persevere is within, and I thrive on the challenge to help each person attain their full potential in life. It takes courage to begin a journey to better mental health, so I congratulate you on taking this first step towards healing. My specialties in Neurofeedback, QEEG, and biofeedback have allowed me to understand the brain/body component of mental health and the patterns associated with different issues allowing me to focus on the types of therapy that would most benefit each individual person. I was fortunate to be the Clinical Coordinator of the Neurotherapy Lab for 7 years in which I conducted counseling with Neurofeedback and both taught and mentored students at UNT. Since then I have continued to have a private practice as well as have worked with the head of Dr. Phil McGraw's psychological team for 16 years. I founded the Applied-Brain Body Solutions Clinic in 2011 as my private practice in which I incorporate a very holistic approach to mental and physical health and have worked with patients from 6 years old to 90 years old. I would describe myself as down to earth and open minded with an eclectic style of therapy. My approaches involve cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness therapy, client-centered, solution focused, and existential therapy as each person is different in their distinct needs. It would be my privilege to accompany you on your journey to happiness and a calm state and help you determine your mental health goals!

Diane McCollum
I have over 20 years of experience providing counseling for adults and children in multiple settings. I have worked with many different issues over the years. I see clients as brave to be willing to make changes. I believe in the helping process because I myself have been there, and used counseling to make my life more fulfilling. I believe this experience helps me see clients not as "sick or helpless," but as stuck in the process of a life transition, as I once was. Our therapeutic alliance requires mutual respect, honesty, clear communication and boundaries. I believe I role model these, with dignity and respect for the individual, the family and the process of change. I have experience providing a family systems perspective with a warm, compassionate, humanist-spiritual foundation. I have helped many people overcome trauma and abuse to gain a more objective view of how their "past might have influenced their present." I would be encouraging you to develop your own goals for treatment to meet your unique needs. My years of experience have taught me that we will both learn as you explore your issues. I will do my best to see the world through the lens of your personal challenges and feelings.
