Paris Hood, MSW, LCSW, Therapist in Frisco, Texas

Paris Hood helps children, adolescents, teens, and young adults build practical skills to navigate emotional challenges, strengthen resilience, and create meaningful change in their lives. At LifeStance Health, she provides therapy for patients across Texas, supporting individuals through a wide range of mental health concerns with a compassionate, collaborative, and evidence-based approach. Paris works with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, and ADHD, while also addressing school-related difficulties and other behavioral and emotional concerns that can impact daily functioning. A particular area of passion for Paris is helping adolescents and women navigate life changes and transitions. Whether a client is adjusting to a new stage of life, managing increased academic or personal demands, or working through challenges related to identity, relationships, or personal growth, she creates a supportive space where individuals can feel understood and empowered. She believes that periods of transition can become opportunities for growth when paired with the right tools, guidance, and support. Paris tailors treatment to each person’s unique needs and goals. She incorporates evidence-based interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness techniques to help clients develop coping strategies, improve emotional regulation, and build confidence in managing life’s challenges. In addition to individual therapy, she provides support through group therapy, Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP), and Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP), and offers care for additional mental health concerns beyond her primary specialty areas. Since beginning her clinical practice in 2022, Paris has been dedicated to helping young people and emerging adults develop healthier patterns, improve self-awareness, and work toward lasting emotional wellness. Her educational background includes studies at Tarleton State University, where she developed the foundation for her work as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Outside of her professional role, Paris enjoys gardening, yoga, embroidery, traveling, reading, and spending time walking her dog. These interests reflect her appreciation for balance, mindfulness, creativity, and lifelong learning.
