Experience compassionate, evidence-based counseling designed for individuals, couples, and families. Whether you’re navigating life transitions, healing from relationship wounds, or seeking emotional resilience, you’re not alone — let’s ride the tide toward growth and well-being.

About Vanessa Gross, LMFT

I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Central Dallas, offering in-person and virtual sessions. I help individuals, couples, and families navigate emotional challenges and build stronger, healthier relationships.

My Approach Includes:

CBT: Practical tools to shift unhelpful thought patterns and support mental clarity.
DBT: Techniques for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and mindful awareness.
Attachment & Psychodynamic Therapy: Understand relational patterns to foster deeper healing.
Couples & Family Therapy: Tailored strategies to improve communication and connection.

Why It Matters

Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all process. I tailor sessions to your unique story with warmth, empathy, and strategic insight. My goal: help you develop authentic inner strength and meaningful connection.

Why New Tide?

Healing isn’t linear; it flows, just like the tide. At New Tide Therapy, we embrace the natural rhythm of emotional growth, offering a compassionate space to process what’s heavy and reconnect with yourself. You don’t need to be “fixed.” You need to feel safe, seen, and supported — and that’s what I’m here for.

Whether you’re moving through anxiety, grief, burnout, or life transitions, therapy can help you slow down and gain clarity. Our work is collaborative and deeply personal. Together, we uncover patterns, build resilience, and help you feel more grounded in who you are and what you need.

Getting Started

Beginning therapy can feel like a leap, so let’s make it simple. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to help you get a feel for how I work and to talk through what’s bringing you in. No pressure, just a chance to connect and ask questions. If it feels like a good fit, we’ll schedule a first session — either in person or online. From there, we move at your pace. You don’t have to know exactly what you need. You just have to take the first step. I’ll walk with you from there.
