Carla Coday, Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Richardson, TX

With over 40 years of specialized practice, I've helped countless clients process complex trauma including abuse, loss, and life-altering events. My background includes developing psychiatric treatment programs and hospice care, giving me deep insight into both immediate and long-term grief recovery. This experience allows me to create truly personalized healing plans.

I customize therapy based on life stage and needs. For adolescents, I focus on creating a safe space to express themselves. Adults often benefit from practical strategies for daily challenges, while older adults may need support navigating life transitions and loss. My decades of working across all ages ensure I understand these unique perspectives.

I help families move beyond surface issues to address underlying patterns. Using proven communication techniques and conflict resolution strategies, we work together to understand each person's perspective. Many families see improved dynamics quickly because I facilitate open dialogue in a neutral, supportive environment.

While every situation is unique, most clients notice some relief within the first few sessions as we establish trust and identify core issues. Deeper healing typically develops over several months of consistent work. Your progress depends on your specific goals, and we'll regularly check in to ensure we're moving at the right pace for you.
