Christian Counseling in Plano/Richardson
Clinically excellent, faith-rooted counseling for individuals, couples, and families living in Plano/Richardson
— in person and virtually throughout Texas.
Welcome!
Watershed Initiative began right here. We launched out of Chase Oaks Church in 2018 with a vision to strengthen and heal our communities — and that partnership is still going strong today. We've served the Plano-Richardson area ever since with counseling that's clinically excellent, biblically grounded, and genuinely compassionate.
If you're looking for a therapist who understands both clinical best practices and a life of faith, you've found the right place. Our roots in the local church still shape how we work: we continue to partner closely with Chase Oaks and walk alongside pastors and congregations across the community.
We see clients in person and virtually throughout Texas. Whether you're walking through anxiety, a struggling marriage, grief, trauma, or a season of life that just feels stuck, our team is here to meet you wherever you are. We can't wait to meet you.
“Ly and his team of therapists have been an incredible resource for our church as we reach out and care for our community. Having a network of counselors that are not only trained mental health professionals, but also biblical grounded helps us to feel confident that we can truly be a ‘come as you are’ church.”
Jeff Jones
Lead Pastor of Chase Oaks Church

What Makes Us Different
There are a lot of therapists in the Richardson area. Here's what sets Watershed Initiative apart:
Faith-integrated. Every Watershed counselor is a committed Christ-follower with an active faith and local church involvement.
Clinically excellent. Our therapists are licensed professionals (LPCs and LMFTs) trained in evidence-based methods including EMDR, CBT, EFT, and more. Faith doesn't replace clinical expertise but deepens it.
Community-rooted. We partner with churches across Dallas, Austin, and Houston to provide counseling that the whole community can trust. Many of our therapists have backgrounds in ministry, which means they understand the unique pressures of church life and leadership.
Collaborative. When you work with one Watershed counselor, you get the expertise of the whole team. We consult on complex cases and support one another so you receive the best possible care.
