DALLAS THERAPIST SUPPORTING INDIVIDUALS

AND

RELATIONSHIPS

welcome to EROS COUNSELING

Imagine a life filled with peace, thriving relationships, and the spark of personal empowerment.

I'm Darrin Pfannenstiel, owner and therapist at Eros Counseling.

My approach to therapy is informed by over 25 years of experience as an attorney and former corporate executive, enriched by a longstanding practice in teaching meditation and mindfulness. As a therapist, I blend these diverse backgrounds to offer a unique perspective and understanding in my counseling services.

My sessions focus on empathetic, innovative support, guiding clients towards clarity, resilience, and well-being. At Eros Counseling, I champion principles of love, connection, and personal empowerment in my clients — all key to transformative change.

If you need help overcoming a personal challenge or issue that led you here, let me be your guide. Reach out today.

MY GUIDING PRINCIPLES

  • Authenticity and Acceptance: I create an authentic, judgment-free space where you're fully accepted, regardless of your background or beliefs.

  • Mindfulness and Clarity: My dedication to my own meditation and mindfulness practice equips me with tools to help you navigate life with clarity and calm.

  • Compassion and Understanding: Rooted in compassion, I approach each session with genuine care, empathy, and a commitment to your well-being.

  • Lived Experience and Expertise: My therapy practice is enriched by a comprehensive professional journey, including significant roles in law and corporate leadership. This, combined with a wealth of personal life experiences, equips me uniquely to understand and address the multifaceted nature of life's challenges.

  • Equality and Respect: I believe in treating everyone with kindness, compassion, dignity, and respect.

  • Safe, Judgment-Free Conversations: My therapy sessions offer a safe space to discuss anything, from self-worth to relationship challenges.

  • A Brighter Future: I'm here to help you discover a more fulfilling life, gain a deeper sense of yourself, and improve your relationships.

Ready to Get Started?

> Let’s Connect!

Schedule a Free 15-minute phone consultation. When we talk, I’ll ask you to tell me a little bit about what’s been going on. I’ll gladly answer any questions you may have. It’s important you feel comfortable choosing to working with me, and I’ll help you decide if I’m the right therapist for you.

> If you’re ready to move forward after that, we’ll schedule your first session and get started.

We’ll have an initial counseling session to start working together right away toward your goals. After that, we will meet weekly or biweekly to get the root of what’s troubling you and develop strategies to overcome it.

> You’ll Feel Better.

My goal is to give you something each time we meet that you can put into action each day. These small steps will build big changes. Over time, you’ll see just how far you’ve come.
