* Important: Not all available appointments are shown. Please schedule an appointment and we can discuss other appointment times _ Hi! I’m Israel. Do you ever feel like no one listens to what you have to say or that no one understands you; especially your parents? Not to worry, that’s where I come in. I enjoy working with youth in helping them understand their emotions or how to get along with their parents, teachers and/or friends. Sometimes it can be difficult to express our emotions, talk to people or just navigate this hectic young life. I've been working with young people and helping them find their way for 12 years. It may take a few sessions; however, we will get there together. Let’s work together!

Hello, I am a licensed marriage and family therapist in the states of Texas and Tennessee with 30 years of counseling and ministry experience. I began as a minister of the Gospel in the Southern Baptist tradition in 1993 working with the homeless to overcome the struggles of addiction and hopelessness in North Carolina and Tennessee. From there, I became a case manager in a rural oupatient behavioral health clinic helping the chronically mentally ill live independently outside of the institutional settings. As my family of five children grew, my wife encouraged me to join the military in 2007 and for the next 13 years we served alongside our Soldiers and their Families as a chaplain. There, I learned through experience how to work through the stress of multiple transitions, the unyeilding demands for time and energy, and the unjust nature of toxic environments. I learned how to support those who wanted to strengthen themselves and their relationships in these environments and to ultimately be at peace with who they are and who they want to be. As I have matured in my training and become licensed in marriage and family therapy, I have found that I now specialize in using Solution Focused therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help individuals identify their strengths and the beliefs that are guiding their behavior. With this knowledge, people can begin to choose who they want to be.

Imagine life is like a journey you control entirely, but you feel stuck. The choices you make dictate the obstacles you face, and they can be tricky. Life’s journey comes with no instruction pamphlet or ready-made companions. A path unfolds, and you can trust that guidance is available along the way. As you journey, you begin to see things you want, potential companions, places you want to explore, and tools you can use to make travel simpler. There are so many choices to make, with no time to stop and contemplate the best decision; you have to keep going, making choices every day about everything. Decisions and deadlines do not wait, but support is here to help you navigate. The consequences of decisions do not wait for preparation or readiness. Age does not determine how hard life can be, nor does it assess reality. Whether you are age 5 or 95, waking up each day and continuing life’s journey can be challenging. Seeking support can make this journey easier, and I am here to help you through it. I believe life’s tools are within us: self-actualization, self-trust, coping strategies, and the willingness to grow. This can foster hope and reassurance for toddlers, children, adolescents, adults, families, and the LGBTQIAPK community. Online Counseling Services are available upon request.

I hold the title of Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and am the proprietor of TEA Time Therapeutic Services LLC. My journey in the Behavioral Health field commenced in 2016, encompassing dedicated work with diverse individuals and families facing various life challenges. I successfully completed two years of supervision, accumulating over 1,500 hours of clinical experience to attain the LCSW designation. Graduating from the Advanced Standing program at Florida International University in 2018 with a Master of Social Work, I have since applied my expertise in providing evidence-based treatment to a broad spectrum of clients, including children, adolescents, adults, and the elderly population.

I have acquired over 10 years of experience working in the field of mental health. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues & self-esteem issues. It is a joy to see sustainable progress clients make with taking charge of their lives. My therapy style is compassionate and nonjudgmental. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and refrain from stigmatizing labels.

Since 2012, I’ve walked alongside clients in the U.S. and India as they’ve navigated life's turning points—moments of doubt, discovery, and deep transformation. I believe life unfolds in many shades.

My experience spans working with children, young adults, college students, couples, individuals, and families across culturally diverse backgrounds.

My role isn't to erase life’s challenges, but to support people in understanding them, responding with courage, and growing stronger in the process.

Oftentimes, clients feel stuck in the darkest places or have lost the spark of joy in their life. This could be due to difficult transitions in life, loss, various different fears or anxieties, or even uncertainty for direction on your path in life. If we are able to identify the how and why of our emotions and actions, we can start to improve and change our behaviors that hinder us. When we become more aware of our emotions, thoughts, and actions, we can move steadily toward the life we dream of. As a play therapist, not only am I passionate about working with children and teens, but also adults who would like to explore their inner child to bring creativity, joy, and playfulness back into their lives. I often use art, storytelling, metaphor, or visual aids when appropriate, to facilitate growth and learning key coping skills. I have helped many clients grow and move through the lingering effects and pains of trauma or life transitions, whether recent or long buried. I can help in facilitating growth and healing after difficult and often excruciating experiences, while progressing at your pace and comfort level. I work with clients who often worry they are “not good enough” just as they are or struggle with anger or anxiety about how the world might treat them. We can work together to help you learn to love yourself for who you are, not what others say or expect you to be. My clients include people who struggle with anxiety, self-esteem, life transitions, as well as those who identify as LGBTQ+ or gender non-conforming. I can offer a sliding scale for cash pay. Contact me today to see if we are the right fit to start your healing journey. I can’t wait to meet you!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Texas. My counseling approach utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused Brief Therapy. I am a firm believer that thoughts drive our actions. If we effectively manage our thoughts, our desired outcome will manifest in our actions. I am passionate about establishing a therapeutic relationship with my clients that is mutually beneficial and welcoming.

Hello! I’m Veronica, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a heart for helping you navigate life’s hurdles. With a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Turabo University of Puerto Rico, I’ve dedicated 10 years to fostering resilience and growth in individuals 18 and older facing anxiety, stress, substance use, and more. I offer a safe and non-judgemental space where you can freely express yourself and discover personal solutions. My practice is inclusive, welcoming clients from all backgrounds and sexual orientations. As a bilingual therapist, I provide therapy in both Spanish and English, ensuring you feel heard in the language of your comfort.

I believe that every individual needs the opportunity to work through their thoughts and feelings in a safe, non-judgmental space. I strive to provide this opportunity for every client that I work with. I thoroughly enjoy working one-on-one with clients to help them achieve their goals. My primary goal is to empower the client to overcome their personal obstacles and thrive. Life happens! We are all humans and it is completely okay to "not be ok." Seeking therapy is a huge step that you should be proud of accomplishing! I am here to guide you and help you conquer your challenges and thrive!
