Therapy that honors your faith and the science of healing.

You are looking for a Catholic therapist for a reason. Your faith matters to you, even if you are still sorting through pain, doubts, or questions.

You do not need to explain why that matters here. It is already understood.

What you will find here is active, engaged counseling. Not passive listening that goes nowhere. Together we identify what is happening, get to the root of it, and build practical skills you can use immediately. Patterns are named. Boundaries are strengthened. Growth becomes intentional.

I am Dana Nygaard, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Plano, Texas. I help adult Catholic women, men, and couples find healing from anxiety, depression, codependency, and relational wounds that quietly shape everyday life and relationships. My counseling integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), attachment theory, the completed Level 2 Training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy, and faithful Catholic principles.

You will not be pushed toward solutions that conflict with Catholic moral teaching. Counseling here respects the whole person: body, mind, and soul.

As a Marriage Readiness Assessor for the Diocese of Dallas, I support engaged couples preparing for sacramental marriage. As the author of 365 Dates to Renew Your Christian Marriage, I bring practical tools to couples ready to invest in their connection.

In-person sessions are available in Plano. Telehealth is available across Texas. I am a member of the Catholic Psychotherapy Association.

If something in you feels relieved just reading this, there is a reason. The right therapist can change the course of a life. If this feels like the right fit, reach out.
