Advice on a good counselor / therapist

This is for a family member who lives in Dallas. Does anyone know a therapist who has a gentle touch and can handle someone that is stubborn and has deep seated issues with trust as well as a difficult upbringing with a severe father? I have barely convinced him that he needs help so someone that will be pliant and accommodating rather than brusque or rigid would be the ideal person.

Give me suggestions Dallas!
