Heather's Professional Experience, Expertise, and Style
My Expertise
My name is Heather Menasco. I am an LCSW in Texas. I have over 25 years of experience as a licensed therapist. I graduated from Texas Tech University in 1996 with a Bachelor of Science in Human Development and Family Studies, and I earned my Master of Social Work degree from the University of Texas at Arlington in 2000.
Upon graduation, I immediately began practicing in the behavioral health field as a lead counselor for a dual diagnosis program treating both mental illness and addiction. I spent over 13 years working in various capacities of Behavioral Health in both inpatient and outpatient clinical settings. In addition, I spent over 9 years working with seriously chronically ill clients in inpatient and outpatient hospital settings. I assisted these clients with processing grief and loss issues, along with therapeutic approaches to adapting to living with chronic disease. Similarly, I worked for the Department of Veterans Affairs most recently, which allowed me to gain a wealth of knowledge in treating Veterans with mental illness and substance abuse issues. Menasco Therapy is my own practice I've created to better help and guide my patients towards living a better, happier life.
My Specializations
As a licensed therapist, I utilize many different therapy modalities specific to the needs of the client. Some of the most common therapeutic approaches I use are Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma- Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). My specialties include working with individuals with depression disorders, anxiety disorders, PTSD, addiction disorders, and those with dual diagnosis disorders. My goal is to work collaboratively with clients to work through their unique issues and obstacles to become the best possible version of themselves.
Therapy Practice Style
My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, compassion, and non-judgment. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where my clients feel comfortable exploring their thoughts and feelings, and where they can develop the skills and tools they need to thrive.
