Hello! And thank you for considering me to be your partner on your journey to wholeness and improvement. Congratulations on taking that pivotal first step to reach out for help. My name is Marisa Montes and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have extensive experience in helping people who are at a crossroads and unsure of what their next steps will be. Many of those I have successfully worked with have gone through experiences that have marked them and left them reeling. In my practice, I use a variety of evidence based therapeutic techniques to equip clients to live life successfully and confront their challenges head on.
I am a therapist who shows up with both professional expertise and lived experience. As a mom and wife, I understand firsthand how demanding, beautiful, overwhelming, and transformative life can be. I know what it feels like to juggle responsibilities, care for others, and still try to make space for yourself. That lived understanding shapes the way I support my clients. I don’t just teach coping skills — I honor the real‑life pressures that make those skills hard to practice. I meet people where they are, with compassion, clarity, and a belief that small, intentional shifts can create meaningful change.
Mindfulness is a core part of how I move through my own life, and it naturally influences my work. I believe mindfulness isn’t about perfection or long meditation sessions — it’s about learning to pause, breathe, and reconnect with yourself in the middle of everyday moments. Whether it’s a busy morning, a stressful conversation, or a moment of self‑doubt, mindfulness helps us slow down enough to respond rather than react. It’s a powerful tool for grounding, emotional regulation, and building resilience, and I weave it into therapy in simple, practical ways that fit real life.
I work with teenagers navigating identity, self‑esteem, and life transitions; adults healing from trauma and unresolved emotional wounds; and individuals who feel overwhelmed by pressure, anxiety, or depression and struggle to find space for self‑care. My intention is always empowerment and transformation. I help clients understand their stories, break old patterns, strengthen their inner resources, and build lives that feel more grounded, meaningful, and aligned with who they truly are. I walk alongside them with warmth, curiosity, and a steady belief in their capacity to grow.
I am licensed in Texas with 8 years of professional work experience. I have experience working with military families and children going through reintegration processes, understanding new family dynamics, and how to support one another. I have experience working with children and youth who are facing social, academic, and identity concerns. I have experience working with foster and adopted youth who are working through traumatic experiences and are trying to navigate a new normal. I have experience in helping clients with relationship issues, family conflicts, parenting issues, & motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Texas. I completed my undergraduate degree in Social Work at Texas Lutheran University in 2000, and then completed my master's degree in social work at The University of Texas at Austin in 2006. My work history includes Early Child Intervention, Texas Children's Cancer Center, skilled nursing facility, and private practice. I enjoy working with clients of all ages, work towards setting goals and achieving them.

As a first generation college graduate, I understand what it means to navigate systems, expectations, and transitions without a roadmap. My own journey shaped the heart of my work: helping adolescents and young adults who are carrying similar pressures, hopes, and responsibilities. I know the resilience it takes to succeed while balancing family dynamics, cultural identity, and the desire to create a life that feels authentic and self directed. In my practice, I use a solution focused, strengths based approach that empowers clients to identify what’s working, build on their natural abilities, and create meaningful change in their daily lives. I believe therapy should be practical, collaborative, and deeply affirming—especially for individuals who have had to figure out so much on their own. I am passionate about supporting first generation students, high achieving youth, and clients from diverse cultural backgrounds who are navigating identity development, family expectations, academic or career stress, and the pressure to “be the one who makes it.” My goal is to provide a space where clients feel seen, supported, and equipped with tools that help them move forward with steadiness and self‑trust.
I am a family therapist who works with individuals using a family/relational model. We will walk through how your past has shaped who you are today and focus on the things that you can control in order for you be be the person you want to be tomorrow. Change is slow, and I will be there every step of the way, cheering you on, pointing out the progress you have made, even when you do not feel as if you are making any.

My method is eclectic of many different modes of counseling rather than one direct approach that works for everyone.
Using education & experience as a foundation to work from, I'm confident in my ability to support clients needs. My counseling style is very holistic, empathetic, relaxed, lots of smiles & laughs. Im best fit for those seeking a therapist that's willing to keep client accountable for their choices & those ready to unlearn what’s no longer healthy or helpful.
Hi, I’m Ayesha—a licensed professional counselor based in Dallas, Texas. I offer virtual therapy across the state, supporting adult individuals through life’s challenges. If you're feeling overwhelmed by low moods, intrusive thoughts, or body image distress, you’re not alone. These experiences can often lead to anxiety, depression, stress, and emotional fatigue.
Many people suffer in silence, avoiding the deeper work around thought patterns—yet unaddressed, these patterns can fuel emotions like guilt, shame, and unworthiness, reinforcing a cycle that feels hard to break. Therapy is a space to gain clarity, challenge those beliefs, and begin your healing journey.
I believe that it should not be hard to live a better life, because people can change and there is hope. I, Daniell' Chisley, offer therapy services for adults and juveniles (13-17). We can come up with solutions together. I offer integrated treatment styles that are safe, inclusive, and tailored to you, so that you can feel heard and get the help that you need. Helping you to heal is my goal. I will guide you to acceptance, understanding, and developing results.

Hello, I'm Corey Phillips, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with over five years of counseling experience and more than a decade of experience in behavioral health and human services.
I work with adults, couples, families, and children in family-based settings. My clinical experience includes helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, addiction, life transitions, and the effects of domestic and sexual violence. I have also worked extensively with individuals struggling with substance use, gambling addiction, sex addiction, and other compulsive behaviors. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their experiences openly and honestly.
My approach to therapy is collaborative, practical, and tailored to each individual's needs. Rather than adhering to a single counseling theory, I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and other evidence-based approaches. I believe that clients often possess more insight, resilience, and strength than they realize. Therapy is not about being told what to do; it is about gaining a deeper understanding of yourself, identifying what works for you, and building the tools necessary to create meaningful and lasting change.
I also recognize that while therapy can be incredibly valuable, accessing it is not always easy. Having personally experienced the challenge of balancing work responsibilities with attending therapy, I understand how logistical barriers can prevent people from getting the support they need. To make therapy more accessible, I offer virtual appointments seven days a week, with availability from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Whether you need an early morning session, a lunchtime appointment, an evening visit, or weekend availability, I strive to provide scheduling options that fit your life—because your mental health should not have to compete with your responsibilities.

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.
