Dallas Dralle, M.S., LLMFT, is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and has been practicing in Grand Cayman for the past several years. As a therapist, Dallas provides outpatient counseling to individuals, couples, children and families with a wide variety of concerns and personal goals. Working from an integrated, collaborative, strengths-based approach in therapy, she draws from multiple disciplines to match her client’s individual needs. She does not believe in a "one size fits all" approach to therapy and believes that each individual is the expert in his or her own life. She will work with you collaboratively to develop your personal goals and create a plan for therapy that fits your personal needs. 

 

Dallas has extensive experience working with individuals facing substance abuse issues and helping them on their journey through recovery from addiction. She  specializes in working with couples, including pre-marital couples, couples facing infidelity, domestic violence, and those interested in marital/relational enrichment and growth. She also has a wealth of experience working with families,  working from an attachment lens by focusing on strengthening the relationship between parents and their children. As a family therapist, Dallas believes in a holistic and systemic approach to treatment, and treats all of her clients within the context of their families, relationships, and their environment as she helps to empower them to make positive changes in their lives. Dallas is passionate about helping her clients find and harness their inner strengths and resources to live happier lives and improve their general sense of well-being. 

 

After graduating magna cum laude from the Honors College at Michigan State University with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, Dallas went on to obtain a Master of Science degree in Child Development and Family Studies with a specialization in Marriage and Family Therapy from Purdue University Calumet. Her graduate thesis research focused on the significance of the therapeutic relationship in treatment, and this knowledge and experience forms the foundation for Dallas' clinical practice and focus on her personal, therapeutic relationship with each client.
