Meet the Founder of Collin Care Counseling

Sally Zurikat - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist- Supervisor

I think that good answers and effective tools are important to the process of therapy. However, I deeply believe that the heart of therapy is the ability to journey with you through the pain and fatigue to come out to a place of healing and contentment. The only way out is through, and I want to go through that journey with you step by step. I am a firm believer that God has made us in his image. Living a healthier, stable life is part of his design for humans. That is where our ability to recover and move on stems from.

Throughout the last ten years I've been able to travel to a lot of places all over the world supporting and encouraging people from all walks of life, different cultures and nationalities to reach a place where they can find rest and stability. During my travels and interactions with a lot of people, I learned much about myself and about human nature. Over and over I've witnessed people climb from the depths of despair and pain to build themselves better, more fulfilling lives. Regardless of who you are or what makes you unique, I would be delighted if you would allow me to take this journey with you. I have worked in non-profit organizations, Domestics Violence settings, outpatient settings, and church counseling centers. Throughout my years of travel and experience I have worked with individuals, teenagers, couples, and families on issues ranging from depression and anxiety to trauma and addiction. I have helped couples restore their marriage, find effective tools to engage with their kids, leading to a healthier and better relationship. I also enjoyed providing premarital counseling.    

I love spending time with my family and friends.  I have a beautiful cat and a lovely Golden doodle.  I love reading, traveling, meeting new people, and eating different kinds of food. If you have a good recipe, share it with me! I also speak fluent Arabic and enjoy learning about other cultures.  

I am also the author of The Relationship Crucible: Transforming Conflict into Connection, a comprehensive guide that helps couples navigate conflict in healthy ways to build deeper understanding and stronger relationships.
