Chafetz Paul K

Chafetz Paul K has dedicated his career to empowering adults through life's transitions since 1982. As a licensed clinical psychologist and former associate professor at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, I bring over 30 years of expertise in adult and geriatric mental health. My practice focuses on equipping clients with the psychological tools needed to navigate complex challenges, from difficult family dynamics to retirement planning. With advanced training from Duke University Medical Center and the Texas Research Institute of Mental Sciences, I specialize in helping adults aged 25+ develop self-awareness, improve interpersonal skills, and achieve meaningful personal growth. My practice combines academic rigor with practical application, offering both individual therapy and educational workshops.

I maintain active memberships in the American Psychological Association, Texas Psychological Association, and Dallas Psychological Association, where I have held leadership roles. My unique CODOP program addresses challenges of loving difficult older parents, while my Grow Into It methodology helps clients transition successfully into post-career life. Located in Dallas, Texas, my practice serves clients through personalized psychotherapy sessions and specialized psychological assessments for testamentary capacity. I am committed to providing evidence-based care that emphasizes learning as a pathway to personal growth and emotional resilience.
