Sally Harris Falwell, a Dallas native, named psychology as a career interest as early as high school. Progressing through her Bachelor’s, she jumped head long into her first Master’s degree and finished with a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. Her focus on Program Development and Evaluation readied her for later interests in Negotiation and Executive Coaching, and her dissertation research on psychology and technology set the stage for her relevant work with individuals interested in balancing technology and their well-being.
Her training included work with the seriously mentally ill, juvenile delinquency programs, geriatrics, adults in private practice, and war veterans at the VA, readying her for work with individuals who desire to bravely change their personal legacy.
Sally’s background made her eager to cultivate her own practice, one that would allow her to engage her kind, savvy, and straight-forward manner effectively with clients and their respective interests. Sally’s approach to her practice of psychology offers energy and attentiveness that sets her apart.
Dr. Falwell’s private practice, Legacy, opened its doors in 2006. Since then, Sally has facilitated the health and change of clients with diverse interests and needs. Committed to continued growth and learning, Sally completed Hogan Certification and an Executive Coaching Certification in 2019 in order to support incorporating leadership and executive coaching into her practice. In 2014 she became a Certified Daring Way Facilitator (CDWF) to further broaden her experience focusing on wholehearted living.
Sally brings an exceptional level of enthusiasm, dedication, and nuanced perspective that makes her work a vibrant solution for interested clients. Sally believes that what makes a therapy experience thrive is the individual that drives it and the legacy they are looking to bravely build.
Clientele.
I work with high achieving entrepreneurs, small business owners and business professionals feeling a pull to engage both their internal and external worlds. I work with individuals ready for change at home and at work, ready for exploration and implementation.
The difficult part about this is that personal change is actually extremely difficult. And can take a time. My clients are the type of individuals that do not just will change or hope for it.
My clients and I work together with the belief that there is no such thing as bad change. All change has value for forward movement. Their work includes taking even the smallest steps toward considering their own value and impact, and taking the smallest steps to grow in insight and expand in action.
I honor and celebrate diversity and the chance to connect with individuals of various backgrounds, cultures, religions, sexual orientation, and gender expression.

Psychologist Coach.
Working with a psychologist coach means that you are working with a professional that integrates the best of both therapeutic work and coaching.
It is that blend that takes you further faster.
Further. Faster.
When you are looking for professional help, you are likely wanting to make some changes and go further faster than the distance your usual DIY efforts take you.
Then comes the question of what type of professional is best for what you are wanting to accomplish. Counselor? Coach? Psychologist?
Is counseling too touchy-feely? Is coaching not deep enough?
Working with a psychologist coach means you are working with a professional who blends the best of both disciplines and it is that blend that takes you further faster.
This blend allows you to identify underlying issues and pivotal life experiences that interfere with your growth and fulfillment. As perspective and emotional cohesion increase, you can capitalize on a collaborative relationship that supports your personal strengths to create and meet goals, all while having an organized, safe, confidential place to address what is meaningful to you.

Working with a psychologist coach, my clients are able to privately discuss and evaluate meaningful history, relationships, behaviors, and goals that they cannot reveal at work.

ADDITIONAL BENEFITS
of Working With A Psychologist Coach
My Story.
There is a concept in entrepreneurship - scratch your own itch. Meaning, create the thing you are looking for.
As a mental health professional, I found myself profoundly frustrated when looking for someone skilled in attending to me as a whole person, in all of those roles that my life includes. ALL of them.
I did not want to separate my business self from my wife self. Or my mother self from my psychologist self.
Plus, I believe it can’t be done. I am not different in different locations. I might lead with my psychologist self at work, but I don’t stop being a mother or a business woman at those points.
Additionally, I did not want to separate my past from my present or future. My past informs my perspective on the world, my sensitivities, my triggers. Leaving all of that wisdom in a separate place seemed illogical to me.
But I also wanted to use all of that wisdom to support my work in the present as I pursue building my best future.
To work with my whole self, honoring my past, present and future, I knew I was looking for someone specific, someone with the skills to blend the work of both a psychologist and a coach.
Luckily I found that person and continue to develop with my whole self in mind.
And then I became what I was looking for, a person who can blend the best of what a psychologist and a coach can offer: A Psychologist Coach.
It is that blend that took me further faster.
