When life feels overwhelming, you don’t have to go through it alone. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed to practice in both Texas and Louisiana with over a decade of experience helping children, teens, adults, couples, and families manage anxiety, depression, emotional overwhelm, relationship stress, and major life transitions. I also specialize in women’s mental health, including prenatal and postpartum support, and I have experience supporting veterans, military service members, and their families as they cope with stress, trauma, and the emotional impact of military life. I work with clients who are experiencing: Constantly anxious or on edge. Emotionally exhausted or burned out. Struggling with pregnancy or postpartum changes. Experiencing relationship or communication challenges. Adjusting to aging, caregiving, retirement, or loss. Overwhelmed by life changes, grief, or stress. Or, in the case of children and teens, having big emotions, worry, behavior changes, or difficulty expressing what they’re feeling. I provide a calm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel safe being honest about what you’re going through. Together, we work to understand what’s driving your distress and build practical tools to help you feel more in control, grounded, and emotionally balanced. I use evidence-based approaches to help reduce anxiety, improve mood, strengthen relationships, and help both adults and children better understand and cope with their emotions in healthy, supportive ways. You deserve support that feels safe, respectful, and empowering. When you’re ready, I’m here to walk alongside you toward clarity, stability, and healing.

Hello! I'm Maria. Professionally, I am a licensed clinical social worker that has worked in a variety of contexts including mental health, schools and the juvenile justice system. Personally, I am a mom, a dog lover, an ex-athlete and aspiring wellness coach. All of the titles I wear shape my therapeutic approach - ultimately, we all balance several identities and are impacted by our experiences. Therapy can be a great place to explore ourselves fully and work towards holistic wellness and healing. I understand it can feel like there is no perfect time to enter therapy. I aim to provide a safe and transformative therapeutic space to work through stressors, increase motivation, learn new coping skills and prioritize self-love to ultimately improve functioning. I am passionate about creating an environment in which you feel heard and empowered to make changes that positively impact your life.

I’m Crystal Scott, a warm, compassionate, and down-to-earth therapist who believes therapy should feel supportive, honest, practical, and deeply human. I work with adults, adolescents, couples, and families who may be navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, life transitions, low self-esteem, burnout, emotional overwhelm, or the feeling of being stuck in patterns they no longer want to repeat. My approach is collaborative, culturally responsive, and tailored to the unique needs of each client. I combine evidence-based techniques with genuine conversation, reflection, encouragement, humor when appropriate, and practical tools that can be used in everyday life. I strive to create a space where you can feel seen, heard, respected, and safe enough to be honest about what is really going on. At the same time, I will gently challenge you to recognize patterns, strengthen boundaries, build confidence, improve communication, and make choices that better reflect the life you want to create. I understand that beginning therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you are used to carrying everything on your own, being the strong one, or putting everyone else’s needs before your own. You do not have to arrive with the perfect words or a clear plan. We can slow things down, make sense of what you are experiencing, and identify realistic steps forward together. My ideal client is someone who is ready for support, insight, and meaningful change, even if they are unsure where to begin. Whether you are healing from a painful experience, adjusting to a major change, rebuilding trust, managing difficult emotions, or learning to reconnect with yourself, I will meet you with empathy, patience, authenticity, and respect. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, empowered, and confident in your ability to move forward.

I'm Dr. Dontisha Davis, licensed therapist based in Louisiana. I hold a Doctor of Education and draw on CBT, DBT, and trauma-focused approaches to help women move from stuck to grounded. My work is direct, solution-oriented, and deeply culturally affirming — because healing looks different depending on who you are and where you've been. You might be feeling exhausted from holding everything together, anxious about the future, or stuck in patterns that no longer fit who you are. I work primarily with women and couples navigating anxiety, burnout, relationship stress, and trauma that can be hard to put into words. Many of my clients are new to therapy or haven’t always felt culturally safe or understood in past spaces. With me, you don’t have to shrink yourself or explain your whole identity just to be believed. Together, we’ll work toward you feeling more grounded, more confident, and more like yourself again.

My work goes beyond traditional talk therapy. I take an integrative approach that considers the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. Many of the struggles people face today—anxiety, relationship conflict, feeling stuck—aren’t just about thoughts. They are patterns held in the nervous system, shaped by past experiences, and often reinforced over time. In our work together, I help you understand what’s driving those patterns beneath the surface. We don’t just talk about change—we create it through a combination of insight, practical tools, and body-based strategies that help you regulate, process, and move forward. I specialize in working with anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I also work with couples who want to break unhealthy cycles and build a deeper connection. Clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure why they keep repeating the same patterns.

I didn't always know I wanted to be a therapist. Growing up in a household where mental health issues were present allowed me to see firsthand it's effect on individuals. After undergraduate school, I landed my first job in a psychiatric hospital. That's when things clicked for me, and I knew that I wanted to help people become their best selves. I had a natural curiosity to understand the world, how people think, and what drives human behavior. I also believe in the power of connectedness. All these things came together and pushed me to pursue my graduate degree in counseling. My experiences early on taught me that no one is perfect, we all struggle, and we all deserve grace. I am here to tell you that your story doesn't have to end where it is now. I aim to show that we are all resilient and have the ability to overcome challenges.

As an empathetic and warm Licensed Professional Counselor, I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to work toward meaningful change. I understand that beginning therapy can feel overwhelming, and I believe the therapeutic relationship should be built on trust, collaboration, and compassion. I earned my Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Cardinal Stritch University and have been practicing in Texas since 2016. I have extensive experience working with adults facing a variety of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My approach is personalized to each client’s unique experiences, strengths, and goals. I often incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we identify unhelpful patterns, develop healthier coping strategies, and build practical tools that support long-term emotional wellness and personal growth. I work best with clients who are ready to invest in themselves and actively engage in the therapy process. Whether you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or simply seeking support through a difficult season of life, my goal is to help you gain insight, build resilience, and feel more confident navigating life’s challenges while creating meaningful and lasting change.
