Who We Serve
-
Kids
Ages 4 and Up.
Anger that comes out of nowhere. Worry at bedtime. A hard change at home. Play therapy gives kids a way to work through it in a fun way that makes sense to them.
-
Teens
Ages 10-17
The mood swings, the withdrawal, the closed bedroom door. We help teenagers get honest with someone who is not their parent, and give them real skills instead of coping with attitude.
-
Adults
Stress that will not let up, thoughts that keep you awake, grief you have not really dealt with. Our Justin team works with adults on anxiety, life transitions, depression, and more.
Our Office and Location
Our Justin office serves families from Justin, Northlake, Haslet, Roanoke, Argyle, Ponder, New Fairview, and Rhome. Adults anywhere in Texas can meet with us virtually.
Justin is a small town in the middle of a growth spurt, and that shapes who walks through our door. The population has grown more than 70 percent since the 2020 census, the median age here is 35.2 against a national figure of 39.2, and Treeline alone will add 2,700 homes. Applied to a town this size, it means most of Justin is either brand new here or watching the place change around them: a first house on a street that is still being built, a kid who is the new one at school again, a longer drive to everything that used to be close. At Grateful Heart Counseling, we work with kids, teens, and adults across Justin and northwest Denton County who are carrying anxiety, grief, or the strain of a move that looked simpler on paper.

About Us and What Others are Saying
Hi, I’m Ashley! I am the owner of Grateful Heart Counseling and we are here to help your family navigate through life's many challenges.
Whether it's anxiety creeping in, low self-esteem holding you back, or difficult changes happening around you, we can help you gain the skills and self confidence to overcome these obstacles.
Our counselors are trained in multiple evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and for younger kids- the transformative power of Play Therapy. Together, we can start your journey towards healing and growth.
“Ashley has helped equip me with tools for parenting my son who went through a major change in his life. She listened, took time to give me materials, and helped me feel supported as the parent. I would recommend her for parents who have a child needing emotional support!”
“Grateful heart counseling is an excellent resource in the Justin area! Ashley and her team have taken a special interest in the play therapy population and know their stuff! This team does a great job equipping their clients with the tools that they need to succeed!”
“Ms. Smith has supported both myself and my kiddos through so many situations. She is enthusiastic to share ideas for solving everyday challenges as well as an expert in grief counseling, self-help, and executive functioning skills. I would give her 100/100 if that amount of stars was an option!”

We are at 211 W. 5th St., Justin, TX 76247.
Our building is a few blocks behind Adam’s Furniture off 156, and across the street from the Justin Post Office. When you park, come in the door on the far right of the building. You will then check in on the iPad to let your Therapist know you are here, then make yourself comfortable in the waiting room. There are coloring books and a train table to help entertain any kids who need to wait. Your Therapist will come get you at your appointment time.
We are a short 10 to 15 minute drive from Northlake, Haslet, Roanoke, and the rest of northwest Denton County.
-
We are in-network with several major insurance panels including Aetna, United Health, UMR, Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, GEHA, Tricare, and Medicare. If we are out of network, or you are paying privately, we offer sessions starting at $80 with our associate counselors or $130 with a fully licensed counselor.

We try to get your first appointment scheduled within a week from when you call. Some of our Therapists offer appointments in the early morning, evenings, or on Saturdays to try to accommodate your schedule.

Yes. We offer play therapy for children as young as 4, and we have counselors who work across childhood and adolescence. Parents are kept in the loop throughout, so the progress can continue at home.
-
You do not have to be in crisis to deserve support. Plenty of people start therapy because something feels off, not because everything has fallen apart, and that is often the easiest time to make real change.
