What I Can Help You With
How Therapy Works
Process of Starting Therapy
ONE: Contact me for a free 15-minute phone or Zoom consultation. If time allows, this free consultation can turn into our first 50-minute long session at my regular price.
TWO: You’ll have a chance to share as much or as little as you’d like. I can tell you about my approach to therapy and to your challenges specifically. You’ll have time to ask any and all questions you may need to feel comfortable.
THREE: We’ll pick a regular time each week to meet for your therapy sessions. We’ll also clarify the best way to join – online, over the phone, at my office, or at a safe place of your choosing. Then, we’ll meet regularly and work the treatment plan until you feel excellent.

Your First Visit
Your First VisitThe first time doing anything is hard, let alone your first time talking to a stranger about your life. However, I make it easy by showing you that I care. I listen with attentiveness, ask thoughtful questions, and show a genuine interest in learning more about you and the goals you have for yourself.
You’re free to share as much or as little as you want in your first session, and all sessions for that matter. I’m here to support you, not push you into uncomfortable territory.
So come with an open, willing, and curious attitude on your first session and I’ll do the same. Together, we can get to the bottom of your concerns and help you find that deep healing and peace you’re after.
or Call Me: (903) 218-7900
Ongoing Sessions Until You Feel Better
Most clients come to me every week. Once we choose a time that works for you, we’ll continue meeting at that time every week (or most weeks since life happens every once in a while).
Usually, clients feel some improvement after 2 sessions. They may see some reason for hope, some way out of their situation, or a new way of approaching a long-standing problem.
Continuing with regular sessions, most clients experience deeper relief and comfort in their own skin around 12 sessions. In as little as 3 months of weekly sessions, you could likely will feel much more alive, energized, and invigorated.
What do we do in therapy?
- Heal and repair old wounds
- Develop habits and skills for proactive engagement with life
- Learn new ways to manage your emotions and regulate your nervous system

Meet the Gritty Therapist
Hello there,
As a Therapist practicing in Dallas and throughout Texas, Utah, Oregon, and Massachusetts for the last 3+ years, I’ve helped countless Texans just like you.
My personal approach to therapy is one based on measurement. If we can measure your symptoms, including things like intensity and frequency, we can establish a baseline. Then as our work progresses, we’ll continue to measure and improve our approach.
I want to get you a Return on Investment (ROI) for the time and money you spend on therapy. So I make sure to tie our work to your goals. And I check in regularly to determine what’s working and what we can improve upon.
In our time together, you’ll learn how to identify and challenge negative thoughts, establish life-supporting beliefs, and act in ways that benefit your brain, nervous system, and the way you move and feel in the world.
What sets me apart from others in my field? Well, I’m more of an entrepreneur type. I bring my years of experience as a business owner into therapy for some truly unique insights. You’ll find my style confident, challenging (within your comfort level), and practical. Also, gritty. Because healing takes hard work, effort, and grit to persevere.
With me by your side, positive outcomes are just sessions away.
The Gritty Therapist,
Angela Boring
When I’m not working…
I enjoy photography, reading, family time, and volunteering on a local and national level in my off-time. These activities allow me to repair and reset my mind, soul, and body and challenge me in new ways.

Understanding the dynamic nature of our lives, I strive to accommodate when plans change. My cancellation policy requires at least 48 hours’ notice to avoid a fee which is the costs of the actual session.

Reviews, referrals, and initial consultations can provide insight into the therapist’s approach. Remember, effective therapy is built on trust and a strong therapeutic relationship, essential for navigating common issues in Dallas.
