About Therapy Associates of Parker County

Our Story

Todd Garlington, LPC and owner of Therapy associates of parker county.
Expert Care Rooted in Community, Compassion, and Lived Experience

Connecting Parker County with Compassionate Virtual Therapy. Founded in 2025 by Todd Garlington, MS, LPC-Associate, LCDC, Therapy Associates of Parker County was born from a simple belief:
Rural Texans deserve expert mental healthcare that understands their lives.

As a former firefighter, small business owner, and person in long-term recovery, Todd built this practice to fill gaps he experienced firsthand:
‍• For first responders: Confidential care that doesn’t trigger career fears
‍• For rural families: No more driving hours for quality therapy
‍• For trauma survivors: Effective and compassionate support from clinicians who "get it."

Why Parker County Chooses Us?

At Therapy Associates of Parker County, we’re not just another clinic – we’re your neighbors. Founded by locals who’ve walked these same roads, our practice is built on deep community ties and firsthand understanding of rural Texas struggles. What sets us apart isn’t just our 16 years of hospital-honed expertise or the thousands we’ve helped, but how we deliver care: with straight-talking honesty and zero judgment, the way Parker County folks expect.

We know waiting weeks for an appointment isn’t an option when you’re in crisis – that’s why we prioritize getting you seen quickly. Our therapists speak your language, whether you’re a veteran battling PTSD, a first responder shouldering unseen burdens, or a family navigating addiction. From Aledo to Weatherford and every small town between, we’re here to serve those who’ve been told to “just tough it out” with real solutions that respect your strength while honoring your struggle.

This is therapy that fits your life, not the other way around.

Meet Our Dedicated Therapists

As a therapist in long-term recovery myself, I know transformation is possible—because I’ve lived it. After overcoming addiction, surviving a near-fatal accident, and rebuilding my life in Parker County, I returned to school at 60 to become the clinician I needed when I was struggling.
