Hello, my name is Christina and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor located in Killeen, Texas. I have a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Sociology from Drury University. I received my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Texas A&M University-Central Texas. I also have a certificate in Chemical Dependency and Addiction. I grew up as a military dependant (Army Brat) and later became a military spouse. I am familiar with military culture and the stresses that being in the military can put on those individuals who are serving plus their families. Growing up in a diverse military culture has helped me to be an open-minded, non-judgmental, compassionate, patient, and trauma-informed therapist. I also believe that everyone can benefit from counseling because sometimes life just gets too hard and we need a safe space to retreat, relax and regroup. I have worked with many individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, addiction, and trauma. I would love to help you to navigate through your struggles as well.

Hello, and wonderful job taking the first step toward making a positive change in your life. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, relationships, life transitions, or are simply feeling overwhelmed as a person in this world, you have come to the right place. Join me in a safe space where we can address your concerns and work together on feeling, healing, and making plans for your growth. Welcome to your new chapter. I am so glad you are here.

Hi, I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in San Antonio, TX. I am also a retired first responder. I help clients figure out what is keeping them stuck, frustrated or unhappy in their lives. I focus on stress, grief, self-care and trauma. I enjoy teaching individuals and groups about behavioral health, and have worked with clients that have substance use issues, PTSD, anxiety and depression. I always try to meet the client where they are and help them get where they want to be.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a passion for helping individuals navigate the lasting effects of childhood wounds, anxiety, and life's most challenging transitions. My work is rooted in the belief that true healing begins when people feel genuinely heard, respected, and safe enough to be vulnerable. I bring a warm, direct, and collaborative presence to the therapeutic relationship. My approach blends evidence-based practices — including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and self-compassion frameworks — with a deep respect for each client's cultural background, lived experience, and unique story. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. Instead, I meet clients where they are and tailor my approach to what they actually need. Much of my work centers on helping clients understand how early experiences — such as emotional neglect, conditional love, abandonment, and shame — continue to shape their thoughts, emotions, and relationships in adulthood. I also have a dedicated focus on men's mental health, providing a space where men can move beyond cultural expectations of silence and strength to reconnect with their emotional lives in meaningful ways. My background includes working with individuals recovering from addiction and those rebuilding their lives after significant hardship. These experiences have deepened my belief in human resilience and the capacity for growth at any stage of life. In our work together, I aim to help you build self-awareness, develop practical emotional regulation skills, and cultivate a healthier relationship with yourself and others. My goal is not just symptom relief — it is lasting, meaningful change that reflects who you truly are and who you are becoming.

Hi, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have been in the field for over 10 years working with all ages. My focus has been on providing services to those who are looking for guidance to resolve issues that have made their present difficult. My approach is that of helping you find your own path to feeling like yourself again and using a combination of techniques specific to your needs.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Supervisor (LCSW-S) based in Texas. I received my Master of Social Worker Degree from Texas State University and have been in private practice for over six years. I work with women of all ages utilizing their own strengths to work through their trauma, stress, and life transitions while improving their well-being and quality of life. I have over 30 years of experience working with individuals impacted by abuse, neglect, substance use, mental health, incarceration and illness. I have worked with children, families and individuals in varied settings to include juvenile probation, residential treatment, drug court and over 16 years in the child welfare system. For the last 12 years, I have worked in an inpatient hospital setting. I have worked specifically the last 11 years in Women’s Health Services. I am committed to helping others improve their quality of life in a non-judgmental and welcoming space.

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.

Hey there! I’m Leslie Luttrell, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and EMDR-trained therapist. In our sessions you’ll find a relaxed, welcoming space where it’s okay to let your guard down, ugly cry, and be met with understanding, not judgment. I specialize in trauma therapy for teens and adults, helping people make sense of single-incident and complex trauma. Therapy is a place of healing and possibility where, together, we’ll uncover your strengths, build practical skills, and create a calmer, clearer life that aligns with who you’re becoming.

My approach is compassionate, trauma-informed, and rooted in helping clients understand the connection between their mind and body. Often, our thoughts, emotions, and physical responses tell a deeper story about our experiences. Together, we will explore those patterns in a safe and supportive space, helping you build insight, resilience, and practical tools for lasting change. My goal is not simply symptom relief, but empowerment — so you can better understand yourself, respond rather than react, and move forward with confidence and clarity.

Hello, I'm Stacey Hernandez, my personal philosophy on counseling centers on empathy, empowerment, and collaboration. I believe that each individual is unique, and effective counseling involves understanding a person’s specific experiences, struggles, and strengths. My areas of specialty are in grief and loss, anxiety, depression, stress management, and trauma, with 14 years of experience in counseling in various settings, such as school settings, children's bereavement center, and rape crisis center. I am dedicated to providing personalized care and support to each client. Over the years, I have had the privilege of helping numerous individuals achieve improved mental health, enhanced coping skills, and increased self-awareness. It would be an honor and a privilege to walk alongside you in your journey toward healing, self-discovery, or achieving your goals.

Hello. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with 25+ years of experience across a wide range of clientele and environments. My Masters degree was earned at Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas. As a counselor I will be your biggest cheerleader while at the same time sharing honest observations how patterns in your life influence you in both positive and negative ways.

My approach to working with individuals is to work with you at your own pace. I will allow you to learn strategies and practice them in your life in a way that empowers you. The path to getting to a place you strive for may be difficult, but I hope to have the opportunity to help you reach a destination of peace, comfort, and strength.

Healing begins when you have a safe place to explore your experiences, better understand yourself, and discover new ways forward. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship challenges, caregiver stress, low self-esteem, and major life transitions. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, stuck in unhelpful patterns, or struggling to balance the needs of others with their own wellbeing. I especially enjoy working with individuals who are ready to gain insight into how past experiences influence their current relationships, emotions, and sense of self. Whether you are struggling with difficult family dynamics, people-pleasing, boundary setting, self-confidence, chronic stress, or navigating a significant life change, therapy can provide the support and tools needed to create meaningful change. My approach is warm, collaborative, and goal-oriented. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, and strengths-based approaches to help clients develop practical coping skills while also exploring the deeper patterns that may be keeping them stuck. I believe therapy should be a place where you feel both supported and challenged as you work toward your goals. My goal is to help clients build confidence, strengthen relationships, improve emotional wellbeing, and create lives that feel more aligned with their values. Together, we can work toward helping you feel more empowered, resilient, and capable of navigating life's challenges with greater clarity and self-trust.

I am an experienced counselor who has worked in a variety of mental health settings.

I take time to get to know each client and approach every session with empathy, curiosity, and genuine care. Whenever you’re ready to talk, I’m ready to listen.

Hi! I’m Jimmy Secoy, a Licensed Professional Counselor. My work is grounded in the belief that people aren’t meant to go through life’s hardest moments alone.

Hi, I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) serving clients virtually throughout Texas and Florida. I specialize in working with adults, high-achievers, and "the strong ones"—the fixers, leaders, and eldest siblings who are used to taking care of everyone else but are secretly running on empty. My primary treatment areas include: Anxiety & Overthinking: Helping you quiet the racing thoughts and find relief from that constant, "on-edge" feeling. Burnout Recovery: Providing practical tools for professionals and caretakers who are emotionally exhausted and operating on fumes. Life Transitions: Navigating the disorienting, messy middle of major life, career, or relationship changes. In our sessions, you don’t need a script; just show up as you are. My style is a collaborative, faith-friendly conversation where we meet your real-world struggles with down-to-earth grace. Together, we will turn your stress and constant overthinking into practical, manageable tools you can use the moment our session ends. You don't have to carry this heavy load alone anymore—let's work through it together.

At 10:23 I understand the importance of cultivating resilience and fostering healthy relationships to achieve our best life. Therapy doesn’t work when clients feel talked down to, rushed, or misunderstood. Many teens and adults I work with have tried therapy before and felt it didn’t really fit. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas, I bring both clinical training and lived experience into the therapy room. This allows me to connect in a way that feels genuine, grounded, and practical—especially for teens and young adults who are skeptical of therapy or unsure where to start.

I currently live in Texas and am licensed in Texas, Michigan and Wisconsin.

I specialize in client-focused therapy, existential psychotherapy, psychodynamic theory and mindfulness to help you find your way and explore what is meaningful to you. I am certified in DBT technique. Website: https://begoodtomyself.com

I help clients walk through all aspects of life transitions from working with parents who are trying to connect with their children to clients who have anxiety or depression to helping adults with anything life throws at you. We will work together identify your challenges and goals...what do you want your life to look like in 1 month or a year from now? We will then identify tools and strategies you can use to achieve your goals. You will leave each session with a better understanding of your challenges and then an action plan approach.

Welcome! I'm Melissa =) Take a moment to acknowledge you've taken the first step towards bettering your mental health because let's be honest - starting therapy can be empowering, confusing, or scary, all at the same time. I strive to create a supportive and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles with concerns related to anxiety, depression, relationship issues,ADHD, healthy communication, and improved coping skills, to name a few. My focus is with individual adults to help develop assertive communication and boundaries with themselves and those around them that can help improve their quality of life. Counseling can foster personal development in whatever way you may be seeking and help build the life you so deeply deserve. I feel honored to hold and support this space with you. Not sure if you could use some help navigating life's challenges? Let's talk about the kind of support I can provide you. Bock a session with me to see if we're a good fit and how we can help you have more peace. Unfortunately, I am unable to assist in completion for any formal type of documentation.

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 7 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, lgbt-related issues, relationship issues, & family conflicts. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

I believe the most important aspect of counseling is feeling comfortable with the counselor. You need to be able to trust who you are working with has your best interest at heart and genuinely listens to help meet your therapeutic goals. If I am not the right fit for you, I will assist you in finding the right counselor.

My name is Pearline Williams, and I have been providing therapeutic services for more than seven years.

My goal as a therapist is not only to help you address your current concerns, but also to equip you with practical tools and coping strategies that will continue to serve you long after our sessions have ended. I believe therapy is a collaborative process built on trust, respect, and mutual learning. While I bring professional knowledge and clinical experience to our work together, I also recognize the value of your unique experiences, strengths, and insights. In many ways, we are both teachers and students throughout the therapeutic journey. I look forward to partnering with you, honoring your story, and supporting you as you move toward the life you envision for yourself.

My practice is located in Portland, Texas. Much of my work focuses on trauma. This ranges from car accidents, to childhood trauma, to abusive relationships, combat veterans and PTSD. I respect my client's opinions on their treatment and work closely with them in treatment planning. I love it when clients share resources with me that have helped them outside of sessions, whether that be podcasts, books, etc. I work to incorporate these things into treatment. I'm very skilled at meeting a client where he or she is at, and I have a talent for coaching clients through the difficult parts of treatment to continue making progress and not become "stuck."

I hold both my undergraduate and master’s degrees in Social Work from The University of Texas at Austin's School of Social Work. This educational foundation has equipped me with a strong understanding of social work theory, research, and practice. My professional experience has further deepened my commitment to providing evidence-based, compassionate care. I have engaged with individuals, families, and communities facing a range of challenges, such as mental health concerns, chronic illness, trauma, and life transitions. This hands-on experience allows me to tailor therapeutic approaches to meet each client’s unique needs.

Hi there, I'm Parag. You were not put here on this earth to suffer. You deserve to live your life with happiness and peace of mind. Mental illness and addiction can rob anyone of these precious gifts. When you turn to family and friends for support, often they don't know what to say or how to help. You can end up feeling very alone in the world. No one wants to develop mental illness or addictions. You didn't do anything wrong. Feeling emotionally numb, mentally overwhelmed, or having thoughts like "I just don't want to be on this earth anymore" are not things that people willingly choose for themselves. They are illnesses. We often get sick through no fault of our own. Just like some people get diabetes or heart disease, some people get mental illness. Working over five years in an inpatient psychiatric hospital, I have helped patients overcome symptoms of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, phobias, relationship problems, and self-esteem issues. My approach is to get to know you as a person and work on addressing what is really going on with your mind and your life right now. I know getting therapy can be scary, but I will do everything I can to help you feel heard, understood, and genuinely cared for. Give yourself a chance to have peace of mind again.

Together we will utilize a holistic approach taking everything into account including your current situation, your hopes and your core values so we do not miss any gaps. Together we will utilize an eclectic approach were we pull from several theoretical orientations in order to better serve you and your particular needs. I want to help you alleviate anxiety and depression or deal with trauma by helping you build a stronger core identity.

I want to work with you to help you becoming a stronger more confident version of you! Life can be stressful and scary, so I want to offer a safe and non judgmental space for you to heal and grow. I look forward to working with you!

Starting therapy can feel like a daunting step, but once you connect with a therapist, your healing journey can truly begin. A key component of my approach is establishing rapport with clients, creating a space where they feel comfortable addressing challenging and painful subjects. I believe that the strength of the therapeutic relationship is one of the most crucial elements in helping individuals thrive in therapy and reach their goals.
