Tell us a little about Major Counseling Services.

At Major Counseling Services, PLLC, we create a cozy atmosphere where you can open up about anything on your mind. From dealing with tough stuff like trauma, anxiety, and depression to mapping out your life goals, we've got your back. I bring a Christian perspective into counseling, blending faith with evidence-based techniques for a holistic approach to healing, as the client allows. It's all about finding peace and purpose in your journey with us.

What led you to start Major Counseling Services?

I founded Major Counseling Services out of my deep dedication to providing top-notch care to clients. As a Christian counselor, I wanted to offer a space where faith and values were central to healing. Prioritizing a healthy work-life balance, I set up a flexible schedule to be fully present for clients while also taking care of myself. Ethical standards were key, giving me the freedom to establish fair practices. My goal? To create a supportive environment where healing, hope, and guidance thrive for every individual and family.

What sets your business apart from your competitors?

It's our dedication to personalized care that blends faith, compassion, and professionalism. We treat each person with loyalty, honoring their unique journey to healing. Balancing work and life isn’t just for us; it helps us be fully present for our clients. Ethical standards are a top priority, ensuring every interaction is based on trust and integrity. Our holistic approach integrates faith, values, and psychological expertise to meet diverse needs. With warmth and empathy, we're not just a counseling service, we're a supportive community making a positive impact on those we serve.

What is something you wish you’d known when you were just starting your business?

Looking back, I wish I had known the importance of setting clear boundaries and prioritizing self-care from the beginning. As passionate as I was about helping others, I learned the hard way that maintaining a healthy work-life balance is essential for both my well-being and the quality of care I provide to my clients. Embracing self-care practices early on would have allowed me to show up more fully present and energized for my clients, ultimately enhancing the overall success and sustainability of my business.

How do you navigate your work-life balance?

Balancing work and life is an ongoing battle for me, and I'm continuously learning and adapting to find what works best. However, I've found that setting clear boundaries between work and personal time is crucial—it's easier said than done! This means establishing designated work hours and sticking to them as much as possible, while also scheduling regular breaks and prioritizing activities that rejuvenate me outside of work. Additionally, incorporating self-care practices such as exercise, mindfulness, and spending quality time with loved ones helps me recharge and maintain balance. It's all about finding harmony between professional responsibilities and personal well-being, and I'm committed to refining this balance over time.

What is the most rewarding part of your job?

The most rewarding part of my job? It's when clients and I determine that they have the tools to face challenges and we no longer have anything to discuss. It's like seeing a butterfly emerge from its cocoon—watching them spread their wings and fly confidently into the world. There's nothing quite like witnessing the transformation and knowing that I played a part in empowering them to thrive. It's the ultimate high-five moment in counseling!

How has being a part of the CityCentral community affected you and your business?

Being a part of the CityCentral community has been incredibly impactful for me and my business. The professionalism, great environment, and top-notch amenities provided by CityCentral create the perfect space for fostering productivity and growth. Plus, I can't say enough about the super sweet and hardworking associates who go above and beyond to ensure that every member feels supported and valued. Their dedication and enthusiasm truly make CityCentral feel like a second home. Being surrounded by such a supportive and dynamic community has not only enhanced my business operations but also made for a more enjoyable experience as an entrepreneur.

If you had a friend in town, you could take them to one of your favorite restaurants or spots in your community, where would you take them?

So eating is always an experience for me, and my friends know this about me.They would fast, for at least a day, and it would look like this:

• Breakfast at Another Broken Egg (Dallas)

• Lunch at Ojeda’s (Plano)

• Dinner at the Crab Station (Carrollton) or Anaya’s (Addison)

More than any other reason, these places have great ambiance and food!
