Hello! I bring 16 years of mental health experience along for your sessions. I consider myself a generalist and I'm happy to help you with any need or concern that you might have. Some of the areas where I have the most experience are depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and grief and loss. I work with almost all age groups however, I typically do not work with persons under the age of 18. If you are a minor, please consult with me before scheduling an intake and I will consider your need and my areas of expertise and help you determine our next steps. I am also no longer able to accommodate couples therapy. If you are seeking a couples therapy session I will be happy to assist you with a referral. I have spent the majority of my career working in a University setting and have helped many college-age adults make meaningful changes. I have also worked in behavioral health clinics and have experience working with clients that have been legally referred to therapy. If you would like to make an appointment and cannot find a time that works for you, please feel free to call me at my office (please leave a voicemail if I'm unavailable) or send me an e-mail and I'll see if I can move some things around to accommodate your need. 806-701-2601 or chris@beginningchange.com

Hello and Welcome! My name is Cherrelle Barton and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker-Supervisor (LCSW-S) with 13 years of experience in the field. I commend you in taking the first step toward self discovery. I believe that what's most important in the therapeutic process is choosing a therapist that is the right fit. So just a little about me, I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology in 2008 and went on to obtain my Master of Social Work degree in 2011. Those closest to me would describe me as kind, compassionate and patient. These qualities catapulted me into the behavioral health field. When working with clients I prefer to utilize strengths based, solution focused methods. Joining with clients in problem solving and analyzing to find solutions for troublesome symptoms. I believe that you are your best healer; I am simply the catalyst to guide you along the pathway to finding what it is you are needing and longing for.

Hello, I'm a Licensed Professional Counsellor (LPC) and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDCi) based in Texas. I understand how overwhelming it is to feel anxiety, depression, or grief especially when you are navigating adjustment issues or facing relationship struggles. If you need someone to listen to you without judgment and understand our culture or your children are having difficulty settling into a school, a new city, or a country, I can provide a supportive space for you and them. Despite our life journeys, therapy offers a safe place to process emotions and find strength in our unique perspectives.

I know at times life can seem confusing or even impossible. I believe with every fiber of my being we all have the answers we need. Somehow we get separated from our core strength. You are the expert on you, you alone hold your truth. I am interested in your story and use the description, "enlightened witness" as a way to describe some of what I do in my work as a therapist and healer. I see myself as a fellow traveler, a helper, and a companion who "holds the lantern" to help guide people to see out of dark places and into their truth. Much of the time we are living a narrative others have crafted, often by pain rather than strength. These narratives can feel like prisons but we can heal and take back our story, and choose to see from our core. Embrace compassion, reflection and most of all self-love. Some of my greatest joy comes from helping people move past pain into healthy and loving relationships with themselves and others. I believe suffering is inevitable but not without wisdom and growth. Sometimes seeing our strengths is difficult. Self-love must include your whole being and all parts ~ messy, vulnerable, raw and authentic. You are the velveteen rabbit and you are already worthy of your own love. You are already real. I am licensed in Virginia and Texas. I see clients in these states only at this point. To schedule an appointment please call: +1 (786) 755-1863 or email reception+Alyssa5684@growtherapy.com FYI Please schedule on the hour only. Otherwise, I will have to call you back and reschedule.

My professional career began as a certified American Sign Language Interpreter in 2001 and quickly progressed into earning a Graduate degree in Social Work at the University of Texas at Austin.

Hi! I'm Belen. Are you looking for change but feel stuck? Maybe you are looking to break certain patterns or need guidance on how to cope with stress, anxiety, or depression. Perhaps you have reached a point in your life where you feel you have lost your identity, and need help connecting back to yourself. I am passionate about helping people create a more fulfilling life. A life where they can feel like themselves again. I enjoy working with people who are open-minded and willing to reflect in order to make necessary adjustments to improve their lives. As a Latina woman, I can offer a unique perspective to help empower women to have healthier relationships with themselves and others.

Hello, I'm David. Do you go through periods of anxiety and/or depression and feel stressed out all of the time? Do you have relationship issues and would like to improve or communicate better with your partner? I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups and habits holding you back. Let's work together! I also help high performers manage work-related stress and avoid burnout. Together, we can identify what's not working and get you back to balance. We'll use a whole self approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit. I also integrate mindfulness, meditation and breathing techniques to help you develop a stronger relationship with yourself.

Debbie Gonzalez is a licensed mental health therapist in Texas that helps Latinx adolescents and adults break generational trauma and address cultural factors that prevent individuals from receiving appropriate mental health care. As a Latinx therapist, I understand how our culture perceives and feels about mental health. Being told it isn’t that bad, to get over it, or that it's something we don’t talk about are common phrases generationally taught. We shouldn’t blame our parents or guardians for the mindset that was taught to them about mental health; however, you can rewrite your history moving forward. Throughout the course of therapy, we will connect culture and mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, stress, grief, or difficult life events, and learn how to overcome them through mindfulness techniques, CBT, and solution-focused strategies.

I graduated from St. Edwards with a MA in Counseling 2014. I received my LCDC license in 2015. I became a fully licensed LPC in 2017 My regard for my clients is always unconditional and it is always positive. I truly want to help those who are having problems with feelings of depression, sadness, helplessness, and guilt, or any disorders that can cause complications in life. I want to help those who have problems with coping strategies like addiction, ghosting, and passionless communication. The things that disconnect a person from himself or herself. More than ever, we have a duty to take ownership and redefine ourselves. Sometimes this requires much work, reflection, pain, courage, and sometimes maybe even a rebirth. I believe I can provide help with these things. I would like to be a part of your journey toward your potential. I can provide a safe place where you can learn about emotional intelligence, about how to communicate in a healthy way, and how to create safe spaces. I believe that in order to build self-awareness, we must be metacognitive, which means we need to have active control over our cognitive processes. We learn how to think about our thinking, and know about our knowing. We can learn how to be aware of our awareness, and explore our wiring and making a motion to rewire, if needed. I believe that we must learn to be vulnerable. Practicing vulnerability isn't about doing something for others. You are building a better, stronger you. I also believe that it is important in therapy that the client begin to look inward of themselves. Self awareness begins with looking inward. This is where the transformation takes place. It's about evolving, expanding, and living closer to your truth and potential.
