At Dr. Messina & Associates in Southlake, we offer comprehensive, professional evaluations for children, teens, and adults experiencing signs of depression. Our assessments go beyond symptoms—giving you clarity, direction, and a plan you can trust.
- Understand the root of your emotional and cognitive struggles
- Get a detailed report and recommendations tailored to your needs

Constant worry, racing thoughts, restlessness—anxiety doesn’t always look the same for everyone. And when it starts affecting school, work, or daily life, it’s time to get clear answers.

At Dr. Messina & Associates in Southlake, we provide psychological testing for anxiety that goes beyond guesswork. Our evaluations help children, teens, and adults understand what’s truly going on—and what kind of support will actually help.

Whether it’s social anxiety, generalized anxiety, panic, or something else, testing gives you a clearer picture of how anxiety is showing up—and how to move forward with confidence.

We take a thoughtful, personalized approach to every evaluation. No rushed appointments. No vague results. Just clarity, compassion, and real guidance.

You don’t have to keep wondering. If anxiety is holding you back, let’s talk about what’s possible.

When teens turn to self-harm, it’s not about “acting out”—it’s about trying to cope.

Cutting, burning, or other forms of self-injury are often a response to emotional pain that feels too overwhelming to express. It’s a sign of inner turmoil, not attention-seeking—and behind the behavior is a teen who may be hurting, anxious, or feeling deeply alone.

At Dr. Messina & Associates, we offer confidential, compassionate therapy for teens who self-harm. We help them understand what they’re feeling, learn healthier ways to cope, and begin the healing process with support—not shame.

Through proven approaches like CBT and DBT, our therapists help teens build emotional regulation skills, improve self-worth, and break the cycle of secrecy and pain.

If you’re a parent noticing the signs—or a teen feeling stuck—know this: you’re not alone. And things can get better.

Healing begins when someone listens, understands, and walks with you toward something new.

💬 “Can marriage counseling really help us… or is it too late?”

If that question has been circling in your mind, you’re not alone—and you’re not without options. Every relationship hits rough seasons. What matters is how you face them.

At Dr. Messina & Associates, we help couples who feel distant, frustrated, or uncertain find their way forward—with honesty, clarity, and care.

Marriage counseling isn’t about blame—it’s about learning how to listen again, speak honestly, and rebuild the emotional trust that’s been lost. Whether you're dealing with communication issues, betrayal, or years of quiet disconnect, there’s a path toward healing. And we’re here to walk it with you.

You don’t have to figure it all out before seeking help. Sometimes, just sitting down together in a safe space is the first real step toward reconnection.

It’s not too late to try.

🧠 Struggling to focus, stay organized, or follow through—even when you’re trying your best?
📚 Is your child having a hard time in school, despite being bright and capable?

It might be more than distraction. It could be ADHD—and psychological testing can help you find out.

At Dr. Messina & Associates, we offer comprehensive ADHD evaluations for children, teens, and adults. Whether you're navigating school stress, workplace burnout, or just want to understand your brain better, we’re here to help you get the clarity you need.
✅ In-depth assessments tailored to your unique needs
✅ Testing that explores attention, memory, emotion, and behavior
✅ Clear results, compassionate feedback, and actionable next steps

ADHD doesn’t mean something is “wrong” with you or your child—it means your brain works differently. And with the right insight and support, that difference can become a strength.

Let’s replace confusion with confidence. Start with answers.

P**n addiction isn’t just a “bad habit”—it’s a cycle that can take over your time, your mind, and your relationships.

If you’ve tried to stop and keep getting pulled back in…
If you feel shame, secrecy, or stress around your use…
If it’s impacting how you see yourself or connect with others…
You’re not alone—and you’re not without options.

At Dr. Messina & Associates, we offer private, nonjudgmental therapy for individuals struggling with p**n addiction. We help you understand why this behavior developed, what emotional needs may be driving it, and how to build new patterns based on clarity and control—not shame.

Whether it’s affecting your relationship, your productivity, or your self-worth, therapy can help you reconnect with your values and break the cycle for good.

This isn’t about guilt. It’s about freedom.

☀️ Feeling more anxious, irritable, or drained during this heatwave? You’re not imagining it.

Extreme heat doesn’t just affect your body—it impacts your mood, sleep, and ability to cope. When temperatures stay high, many people experience heightened anxiety, emotional exhaustion, restlessness, or even depression. For those already managing mental health challenges, it can make things feel even heavier.

At Dr. Messina & Associates, we understand how heat-related stress can sneak up and take a toll on your well-being. That’s why our therapists offer support that helps you manage both your internal and external environments—especially when everything feels overwhelming.

We help teens, adults, and families regulate emotions, improve sleep, reduce conflict, and restore a sense of calm—no matter what the weather is doing outside.

Emotional burnout isn’t weakness. It’s a signal to slow down, check in, and get the support you need.

Every relationship hits rough patches—but you don’t have to navigate them alone.

At Dr. Messina & Associates in Southlake, we offer marriage and couples counseling designed to help partners reconnect, rebuild trust, and move forward together with clarity. Whether you’re facing communication breakdowns, intimacy concerns, unresolved conflict, or life transitions that have pulled you apart, therapy provides a safe, structured space to be heard and understood.

Marriage counseling isn’t about assigning blame. It’s about discovering what’s beneath the patterns, learning healthier ways to respond to each other, and finding your way back to emotional connection. From healing after infidelity to strengthening everyday communication, we help couples work through challenges with respect and intention.

You don’t have to wait for a crisis to get support. Many couples choose therapy not because they’re failing—but because they want to succeed, together.

Trauma doesn’t always show up as flashbacks—it can look like irritability, anxiety, exhaustion, or feeling numb when you want to feel something.

If you're in Southlake and struggling with the weight of past experiences, trauma therapy can help you begin to heal—in your own time, and in your own way.

At Dr. Messina & Associates, our licensed therapists provide trauma-informed care that’s tailored to your story, not a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether you’re dealing with the impact of childhood experiences, loss, abuse, or chronic stress, we create a safe space for you to explore, process, and move forward.

You don’t have to keep reliving the past just to get through the present.

With support, healing is possible—and you don’t have to do it alone.
