About I Choose Change

The Whole I Choose Change Gang! I Choose Change Staff and Kids

We are glad you’re here!

Why “I Choose Change?”  Simple. It’s because you can’t say the name without stating a positive affirmation. We think that’s a great first start to change.

We are Licensed Counselors, Registered Play Therapists, Expressive Art Therapy building stronger families and marriages providing counseling, psychotherapy and life coaching for adults, teens, children and teens. Face-to-face serving Allen, Plano, McKinney, Wylie, Lucas, Sachse or online and email counseling around the globe!

All counselors at I Choose Change use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Attachment Theory as a basis for our counseling. We utilize Jennifer Slingerland Ryan’s signature TEA Process of helping clients understand and hence be able to use CBT in their everyday life.

The TEA Process (Meaning: “Thoughts-Emotions-Actions”) of change is simple and easy to understand. If you’ve received Cognitive Behavioral Therapy before, chances are you walked away with more questions than answers about how to utilize the skills you were taught that would last for the duration of your life.

At I Choose Change, we encourage change that lasts a lifetime for yourself, your relationships, and your family. The I Choose Change TEA Process is a lifestyle change.

In addition to adding a bit of TEA to your life, we push you into new, uncharted territory using what we call Connection Therapy. Connection Therapy considers your early relationships as a blueprint for all relationships you have today: children, spouse, domestic partner, friendships, and coworkers, then seeks to alter kinks in the learned behaviors so you have more success in these relationships.

We think healthy individuals make healthy partners, make healthy families, make healthy communities, and make a healthy world.
