Dr. Linda Threats Ph.D.

Dr. Threats is the real deal. She is astute, knowledgeable and caring. She has a very calming demeanor and can make you laugh. She is great at creating a safe space to talk. With that being said, if you come to listen, put aside your past ways of being and past ways of doing things, and are coachable, you will learn, grow and change for the better under her guidance. But if you come to challenge her, hold on to your own ways (that most likely weren't serving you well) or act out in her classes, trust me, you won't win. She does not play. She will shut you down gently, but firmly. I learned so much in the 12 week parenting class. I use everything she taught. She is an amazing person and an outstanding therapist.

The negative reviews are most likely from people who didn't like what they saw when she held the mirror up to them. She will show you YOU. And you can either grow, change, and put your child first, or you will stay stagnant and blame everyone but you. You will continue to act like a child and throw tantrums. The negative reviews are just that. Tantrums. She is a therapist. She isn't there to be in your amen corner. She's not there to be your friend or pet your demons. She will show you what they are and give you the tools to uproot them. It can be a messy process. It's not a rosy path. But if you are willing, you come out better for it. Our entire class turned a corner. It was amazing to watch. She knows what she's doing.

I went in very skeptical, but came out after 12 class sessions with new knowledge and confidence how to do what is best for my family. As did almost every other person/couple in our class. I highly recommend Dr. Threats. She isn't going to just tell you what you want to hear. She is going to give you 40 years of knowledge & expertise rolled into actionable steps you can take to improve your life/family/situation. Five BIG stars!!

Dr. Threats has been a wonderful person to our family. She has helped both me and my ex and I to come to a healthy and successful co-parenting relationship.
We have seen her for parenting facilitator services and we, also, took her 12 week co-parenting class.
The core of her class is based a magical statement: “What you think what you feel and what you do, If you don’t change what you think, you won’t change what you feel and you don’t change what you do”.
You are ready to make change to your life for better life and relief from what you suffer I strongly recommend to take this case.
I have learned so much from her and I owe my peace of mind and our happy children to her guidance.

Several years ago this Dr. was required by the courts to evaluate my daughter who allegedly claimed I abused her. She and her father in fact came up with this ridiculous idea to avoid paying child support. They only attended one session out of many that was scheduled. In fact, each time I would be the only one to show up. When they finally decided to attend the mandatory session Dr. Threats appeared to be charmed by my daughter's father and was charmed into giving a bias report that went into his favor. It was misfortune because my daughter continued to be brainwashed into thinking I did not love her and she would be better off with her father. My daughter is in her 30's now and still has the same attitude toward me as her mother. Not only did her report permanently damage my child's understanding but I too suffered along with my babygirl from going back and forth in bad weather. My baby ended up in the hospital with pneumonia.
I would not recommend her for anything to anybody. I could say more, but this is more than enough..Her final report was not accurate and cost my family a lifelong of mental anguish.

Dr. Threats is in my opinion dangerous. She tries to force people to do what she wants even if it is not in the best interest of the children. Divorced from an abusive spouse Dr. Threats tried to force a child to be with the abusive parent even though it would be psychologically damaging to the child. The child since the divorce became an honor student and began to thrive. Dr. Threats said she would force the child to be with the abusive parent and if the child reacted that maybe the child should be taken away. How dangerous a statement to make.

I would Avoid her at all costs. There are too many reputable people out there to get mixed up with her!

I so appreciated this class. Even though the other party never attended I got so much out of these classes, especially the individual session. If you are ready to get honest and look at the effect of what is happening on your kids, this is the place to find your way to a solution. It would be a better world if all parents got the opportunity to take these classes. Thank you so much Dr. Threats!

I recently completed Dr. Threat's 12 week parenting class with my ex-husband. The information presented and real life, practical skills learned fundamentally altered both our relationship and the relationship we are able to have with our children. We started the class barely able to speak to each other and ended by being able to have fun, family dinners together, something our children love. I can honestly say that our children don't come from a broken home, they now have two loving homes and co-parents who work together to meet their needs.

Dr. Threats is great listener. The parenting course I had with Dr. Threats was very informative. The quality of service I received was excellent. She was there to help any way she could. And it is not about the money, it is all about the Child(ren). I learn that if it is beyond my finger tips it is far from my reach. Thank you Dr. L. Threats. Continue to enjoy your blessings.

Finding a therapist you can really mesh with is always diffcult, but if you're TRULY ready to change, Dr. Threats is DEFINTELY well equipped to help you on your journey! Along with groups, individuals, and mediation, she's done a great deal for the family court systems in the D/FW area, so there are always the inevitable negative reviews from deadbeat parents and disgruntled couples who think a therapist is supposed to "fix" you. However, if you're looking at anonymous reviews for answers, you may ALREADY be beyond the help of a psychotherapist! :-) Simply go in and meet with her yourself. You'll be glad you did!

A Narcissist truly= Linda Threats. She is not a licensed MD, psychologist or psychiatrist. So don't let her mislead you into thinking, that she is more than a family counselor and social worker; who has rubbed elbows at a few socialite parties to connect herself with the system. She is arrogant and insecure, so she likes to call herself "Dr Linda Threats" in her classes. She doesn't hold her doctorate in therapy or anything psychological so beware. On her wall it says philosophy instead? I was in a custody case, and I actually got better results not allowing her to control me or the results for my child. She doesn't care about your child's physical safety or emotional abuse, and only focuses on the amount of cases, that she helps get settled through mediation, which I'm certain helps her social ties in the system. When there are physical safety issues and emotional abuse with a contested case, meditation doesn't work. The best thing that I did was not listen to this crazy and ignorant women. I watched her make people cry in my classes. She also made two racial derogatory comments in my class. She cuts you off and wants to listen to herself talk instead. She is absolutely nuts so don't let her play the mind games. Follow you heart and if something doesn't smell right, follow that instead of what "Dr" Threats says. What a joke. I ended up with a safe situation for my son and results with my case, by not falling into her traps and mind games. I think if there are any good reviews on here about Linda Threats, then she must have written them herself. Beyond horrible.

Dr. Threats is the best. I had to first join her 12 week class, court ordered of course. I had a nice size class and everyone was pretty bitter. At the end of the 12 weeks a lot of the parents were able to get along and understand each other. My ex and I have continued with monthly counseling at it has help both us and our children tremendously.

To the person who wrote the negative review you wanted Dr. Threats to choose sides, and that's not going to happen. In the group classes she is not going to let you tell your story to everyone and put people against each other or have them form an opinion against your ex. By the date of this review, I know you were in my 12 week class and shame on your for posting this untruth. everyone tried to work with you, but it was about you and not your child. It's unfair to people who are on the fence and need help who may turn away from Dr. Threats because you didn't get what you want. Anyone who is reading this post go see Dr. Threats and form your own opinion, your child/children will love you for it.

Dr. Threats is the most amazing lady I know. I have been seeing Dr, Threats off and on for 4 years and the amount of peace she has brought me and my family is priceless.

I started out seeing Dr. Threats by court order through a custody case and after we worked through that I have since been remarried. My current husband and I are seeing Dr, Threats for help with our new "blended" family and it is nothing short of a miracle what she has been able to accomplish!!



To address the 2 negative reviews. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. By virtue of the words used in the reviews, it is obvious to anyone that has been to see Dr. Threats that they did not allow themselves to be open minded and open to change. Even if they felt Dr. Threats did not improve their situation, they would have chosen a different way to express their experience.

"Dr. Threats is only as good as you will allow her to be"

In my mind, Dr. Threats is an angel.

Dr. Linda Rollins-Threats offers a 12 week group class for high-conflict parents titled, "Conflict Resolution - Parallel Parenting Group". For some, this is a "last resort" for parents unable to effectively co-parent their children. High Conflict parents get caught up in their own hurt feelings, perceptions, issues and anger, that they are unable to see what it's doing to the children. Dr. Threats brings a practical understanding to parents in such a way that she positively impacts how parents interact with one another. The end result in my own personal experience is a 10 year old son who no longer becomes nervous at the idea of his parents being in the same vicinity, being caught in the middle, trying to shoulder and fix problems that he didn't create; didn't ask for. Our son is happier and we are better co-parents for having attended Dr. Threats class. It's work, it's not easy, but it's all worth it. This class should not be a last-resort. Instead, it should be a mandatory PROACTIVE class for any divorcing parents to safeguard the family unit. A class like this would go a long way for parents before they get caught up in years of legal disputes, therapy, disdain, etc.; leaving in its wake, lost and damaged children. One thing not to be mistaken, Dr. Threats is very thorough, keenly aware of matters without having to know all of the details; she is spot-on and is truly the best in her field. Dr. Threats brought change to our family when so many had given up. Thank You Dr. Threats for helping us to focus on what is important and giving us the tools we will need as we continue our lifelong journey. You are truly an amazing lady! To the two people who have given Dr. Threats poor reviews. I have to ask if you actually attended Dr. Threats class or if your opinions are based off of one or two sessions? I additionally question the name calling. Anyone who meets with Dr. Threats will quickly decipher that Dr. Threats is about the sanctity of the children and working with parents and families to achieve a positive family unit. The poor reviews are not a true reflection of Dr. Threats, her work, her passion, her credit and her success to bring families together.

Hello all,

Dr.Threats is the best in this field. I just finished my last session with her on 8/27/13. I am currently not seeing my son again, but the lessons learned in her class has made me see that I still need to do the right thing and continue to parent every day. I encourage all of those ordered to see Dr. Threats to open your minds, think about your children. If you truly love them you will benefit from her teachings. She is goining to help you understand your disputes, court order and any other life issues, by showing you what's truly important. Please remember I'm not even seeing my child. It's been a month due to missed exchanges on my co parents end, but when I see my son I will let him know I love him. I am also able to show him some that love. This is what Dr.Linda

As I have gone through life’s enormously difficult trial that is divorce, Dr. Threats has bestowed wisdom and sanity on both my wife and me. As painful as this ordeal is for both of us, my wife and I have agreed to set our minds on our daughter. Dr. Threats has played a significant part in how my wife and I have come to that mutual understanding. Divorce notwithstanding, children must grow up to be emotionally healthy and happy people; and a divorced parent can and should make continuous and conscious decisions to see to it that he or she will not stand in the way of a child’s healthy emotional growth. Dr. Threats has continuously revisited that important message. Nonetheless, this simple message often falls to deaf ears of a divorced parent whose anger and disillusion out of a broken marriage gets the better of him or her. As painful as divorce is for me, I have gained not only a sense of peace but also a renewed determination to do what is right for our daughter. Like any human being Dr. Threats is not perfect, but her shortcomings are more than offset by her kindness and professionalism toward her clients. In short, she is a wonderful person. Kudos to Dr. Threats and her amazing works.

It was a pleasure attending Dr. Threats parenting and conflict resolution classes. She is an amazing, brilliant and intelligent psychologists who always looks for children's best interest.

I even chose her as my mediator since she is not biased and always focuses on what is best for children.



She helped me healed during my divorce and put my child's emotional wellbeing first before my own emotions.

She is an execellent therapists.



Thank you Dr. Threats for helping me and my family grow.

Dr Threat's takes advantage of people who are ordered to take her classes. She over-charges (for more time than she actually provides). She will often change schedules with little or no warning after her clients have made arrangements for child care, to leave work to attend, etc... She is VERY arrogant and rude; she doesn't practice what she preaches. She encourages everyone in the class to criticize everyone else in front of the class. She makes definitive statements about people based on very limited information. Like her name states, she is a threat rather than a help to relationships.

I like this therapist. She does not entertain lies and goes for the truth. She is after the best interest of the child, no matter if you like what she says or not. She pushes aside "he said/she said" and pays attention to what needs to happen versus focusing on blaming people. If you're having co-parenting issue, I recommend you visit her office.

Ms Threats is incredible, her talents in her profession surpass any counselor I have ever know, she showed me things about myself, that counselors in the last 15 years never shared, I would highly recommend her, your children deserve it, and if you are considering divorce, please go see her before you hire an attorney, there is no need to waste your hard earned money. Give her the opportunity to give you and your family a real chance of true success in truth and love. Trish
