Grateful Heart Counseling has established a second physical location in Denton, expanding its presence beyond the original office in Justin. The new site is located at 2660 Scripture St. and is currently open for appointments.
The practice was founded by Ashley Smith, a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor and Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor, in Justin in May 2023. The original office remains active at 211 W. 5th St. Both locations are staffed by multiple licensed therapists who live and work within the communities they serve.
The Denton office treats clients ranging from age four through adulthood. Treatment plans are tailored to the individual's age and specific needs, utilizing methods such as play therapy, talk therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and solution-focused work. Common reasons for seeking care include anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem issues, and difficult life transitions.
While the physical offices serve Denton County residents, virtual sessions are available to adults anywhere in Texas. The practice matches clients with therapists based on training compatibility through direct conversation rather than online self-selection. Reduced-rate sessions are offered with pre-licensed therapists under supervision.
The expansion addresses demand in Denton County, which has experienced rapid population growth. The practice serves Justin, Denton, Northlake, Haslet, Argyle, Highland Village, Roanoke, Corinth, Ponder, Krum, Sanger, Rhome, and surrounding areas.
Grateful Heart Counseling is in-network with Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, United Healthcare, UMR, Carelon, Medicare, Tricare, GEHA, Oscar/Oxford, and Baylor Scott & White. It also accepts out-of-network benefits with documentation for reimbursement.
