Life Transitions
Serious Mental Illness / Crisis
Hi there! I’m Ashley Toney, a licensed clinical social worker with a warm, down-to-earth style and an honest approach to therapy. I especially enjoy working with adults ages 18–35 navigating relationships, identity, and life transitions. I specialize in treating symptoms of psychosis and other serious mental illnesses. I also support women working through self-esteem, boundaries, and relationship concerns.
My background in nursing and social work shapes my attention to your health, experiences, and everyday life. Together, we’ll make sense of what you’re experiencing and build practical skills around your goals. I bring compassion, thoughtful questions, and a little humor when the moment calls for it. There’s room here to speak openly, even when the words are hard to find.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with over a decade of experience supporting men, women, and couples through some of life’s most difficult and disorienting seasons, including chronic illness and autoimmune conditions resulting from perpetual stress.
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. Together, we create clarity, stability, and a path forward that feels grounded and sustainable.
My style is warm, direct, and collaborative. My goal is that you leave each session not just feeling supported—but with a clearer understanding of yourself and tangible steps toward real change. If integrating your faith is importan, we make sure that is apart of your plan, as well.

I aim to give you a space where you can discuss these challenges without feeling as if your complaining or being a burden.
I can help you manage your stress by discussing tools that allow us to be honest with ourselves and how we feel. Yes! I'm talking about emotions. No matter how long we ignore them they still exist, bottled up and all. I want to help you share those emotions and thoughts out loud, guilt free!
If you find yourself feeling lonely, depressed, anxious, misunderstood, or just stressed out. Then your the person I want to connect with and help you get back into the driver's seat of your life.

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.

Hi, I'm Julie Este-McDonald — a Licensed Professional Counselor, Executive Coach, and doctoral candidate in Industrial/Organizational Psychology who researches burnout. I'm passionate about helping people heal, grow, and reconnect with who they are beneath the weight of everything they've been carrying.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, PTSD, life transitions, and the quiet exhaustion that comes from constantly holding it all together. I have a particular heart for women — and especially Black women — who are managing the layered demands of high achievement, caregiving, leadership, and everything in between.
My approach is trauma-informed and attachment-aware, meaning I pay close attention not just to what you're experiencing, but to how your history has shaped the way you move through the world. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you examine the thought patterns influencing how you see yourself and others, and I bring warmth, honesty, and practical tools to every session.
For clients who want faith to be part of the conversation, I'm also equipped to hold that space. With a post-graduate certificate in Pastoral Counseling, I support clients integrating spirituality into their healing — as well as those deconstructing or reimagining their relationship with faith altogether, including those navigating religious trauma.
Whether you're brand new to therapy or returning to go deeper, my goal is simple: to create a space where you feel safe, genuinely seen, and supported in building a life that feels as good on the inside as it may already look on the outside.

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 a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who supports adults navigating depression, anxiety, grief, relationship breakups, and trauma. I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space where clients can process difficult experiences, heal at their own pace, and develop tools to move forward with clarity, strength, and learn to have better control of your life. Outside of therapy I enjoy spending time with my family, friends and dog. I love practicing self-care and reading.

Hi there! My name is Chinh. If you’ve reached my page, chances are that your heart has been broken, you probably just had the umpteenth argument with your significant other, or maybe you’re stuck in a frustrating cycle of self-doubt, low self-esteem, and overwhelming thoughts that never seem to let up. Maybe it’s all of the above! Whatever brought you here — I’m glad you came. Let’s work through it together.
I grew up in a culture where mental illness wasn’t something you talked about. Emotional struggles were ignored, hidden, or minimized. I was taught that sharing feelings was a weakness — that being strong meant staying silent. That experience shaped me. Today, I’m passionate about helping people unlearn those harmful beliefs and start living with more freedom, clarity, and emotional honesty. I want to help end the stigma associated with mental illness.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas, Louisiana, and New Mexico, and I hold a Ph.D. in Counseling. I’ve spent years working with adults, couples, and families — helping people reconnect with themselves and each other. My approach is strength-based and holistic: I believe healing doesn’t mean “fixing” you — it means understanding you, supporting you, and helping you build the life you want.
Therapy can be hard work, but you don't have to do it alone. I offer a space where you can show up exactly as you are — without judgment. Let's rewrite your story together.

Hello! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing mental health therapy services in Louisiana and Texas, with over 15 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families from diverse backgrounds. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside people during some of their most vulnerable and life-changing moments. These experiences have shaped my understanding of how personal, relational, and cultural factors intersect in our emotional well-being.
I believe therapy should be a space where you feel safe, seen, and heard. My goal is to help you find balance, process challenges, and empower you to persevere—even when life feels overwhelming. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship struggles, or simply feeling stuck, we’ll work together to uncover your strengths and create meaningful change.
My approach is genuine, down-to-earth, and rooted in authenticity. I strive to create an environment where you feel encouraged to be your true self. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. Instead, I meet you where you are, tailoring our sessions to meet your unique needs and goals. I hope that this personalized and honest connection keeps you engaged and motivated in your healing journey.
Whether you are seeking support for the first time or returning to therapy after a break, I’m here to provide thoughtful guidance and compassionate care. Together, we’ll build on what’s already within you—the resilience, wisdom, and hope—to create a more balanced and fulfilling life.
If you’re ready to take the next step toward growth and healing, I’d be honored to work with you.

I have a Doctorate in Psychology and am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW). I have been working as a therapist for over 16 years. I specialize in mood disorders, anxiety, trauma and LGBTQIA issues. I believe that therapy should be a safe place to talk about personal issues without any judgment. We all need someone to talk to and therapy provides that space where you can be yourself. We all go through some things from time to time and should be able allowed to talk with someone who is willing to listen and provide us with the support that we need.

I approach therapy as a relational process, not a place where you come to be fixed. You’re not a problem to solve; you’re a person with a history, patterns that make sense, and a way of being in the world that developed for a reason. In our work together, we slow things down and get curious about what’s underneath the surface. I’m interested in who you are, not just what’s wrong. My goal is to create a space that feels real, thoughtful, and nonjudgmental, where you can begin to understand yourself more deeply and move toward something that feels more connected and meaningful.

What happens during the first therapy session?
What happens during the first therapy session?
Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
