I am looking for a good counselor in the Plano/Allen area for 12-year-old step daughter. She's a good kid. But she needs help working through issues stemming from the situation with her birth mom.
Thanks to all of the wonderful moms for responding with such great information. I'm calling your suggested therapists this week to learn which would be best for my stepdaughter, but I will ask that you keep us in your prayers. We have lots of birth mom issues to work out, but I believe we can get through it. Thanks again.
Dr. Rebecca Jones at the Heritage Behavior Center on Spring Creek and Custer in Plano ###-###-####. She helped us deal with my daughter's birth father. It was difficult. Dr. Jones is a PhD and does therapy. She is very savvy and understands the realities of blended families and such. -Nita
I take my step-daughter to counseling as well...because of things that have happened while living with her mom. Our therapist is wonderful and I have referred her to so many of my co-workers who see her regularly. Her name is Pam Roos and she is in Plano off of Park and Ohio. Her number is ###-###-####. Good Luck!
Hi S.,
I have used Pam Roos,###-###-####. She is located in Plano on Ohio Drive.
I've used her for my 11 y/o daughter to help her deal with being away from her dad.
I've been divorced for 6-7yrs but her dad lives in NY since we moved here 3yrs ago.
She is very sympathetic and my daughter liked her very much.
Wendy in Plano has great experience working with children with this very issue you mentioned. She is also less costly than most. You can email her at ____@____.com or call ###-###-####. She's great with girls!!
Dr. Jane Levieux - she is a pyschologist who has an office in Plano three days a week; she works at Children's Medical Center of Dallas on the Psych Consult Team two days a week. Very good.

My 15 year old sees Krysla Karlix in Plano close to 15th and Central. She sees a lot of adolescent girls and my daughter loves her - I do to. Send me a message if you want her phone number.
I would recommend Diagnostic and Treatment Services. You can reach them at ###-###-####. Their office is near Coit and 635. Laura Parsons specializes in adolescents. All three of the Drs. there are excellent.
Hi S.!
My family goes to Counseling and Consulting Associates of North Texas (CCA). They are located in McKinney off VIrginia so, its a little further than Allen but not too bad. There is a really wonderful woman in they practice who only deals with children, and I am sorry I don't know her name but, I have spoken with parents in the waiting room who think shes WONDERFUL.
The number is ###-###-####.
Hope this helps!
Mary Lee is a licensed professional counselor in Allen. We have known her for years. She is located at the Center for Family Counseling and Play Therapy on Bethany Road. I do know she takes insurance for her services.
I also have a 12 year old daughter and have had her and myself in counseling do to both parents remarrying, Step mom wont's to be best friends with my daughter which makes me the bad parent and it took going to see, ( Donna Milburn Ph.D. in Plano 972/509/2611 2000 N Central Expwy Suite 110 )for me to understand it is not my job to be my daughters best friend it is my job to make sure she is safe and loved and if that make me the bad parent then so be it. Donna Milburn is great give her a call.
A little about me working mom with two kids.
Hi S.,
It looks like you have had a lot of good responses. My suggestion was our church counslers at High Pointe Church of Christ in Mckinney. They are excellent and not as expensive as other therapist. I know that it is further up than intended but it gives you more options.
We use Mahnaz Sadre in Frisco.

I'm sorry but Donna Milburn Phd is the last person I would take any child to see. She tried to turn my daughter against her father in the middle of a custody fight. I would not have that. My ex and I are divorced - my child is not divorced from her father. Fathers deserve to have a relationship with their child as well as the mother. Children need both parents!
Donna in my humble opinion is a very poor counselor. She is one sided and sets out to destroy families. In my experience, she gives out confidential information when you ask her not to.
If you look at the yahoo yellow pages you can see all the complaints similiar to the one I have. Donna has no business being a PHD or doing social studies for that matter.
I also recommend Krysla Karliz, LCSW; MS highly. (Licensed Counselor of Social Work and Masters in Social Work)

My daughter was sixteen, and we needed help. She counseled my husband, me, and our daughter to a stronger family function and bond.
