Hello! I am a licensed clinical social worker serving individuals in Illinois, Texas, and South Carolina. My background includes working with families who have faced abuse, neglect, and legal challenges. I have also worked as a hospice social worker, where I provided support and education to families navigating the end-of-life process, helping them prepare to say goodbye to their loved ones. In public schools, I conducted assessments and evaluations for students struggling academically, developed Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), and offered social-emotional education and individual support for students dealing with issues such as peer relationships, bullying, anger, anxiety, and other challenges that can affect their learning and growth. For several years, I have been in private practice, assisting both children and adults facing difficulties related to depression and anxiety, as well as supporting older adults dealing with lifestyle changes and health concerns. I also have experience helping individuals cope with grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a key element of my therapeutic approach. This evidence-based method equips clients with tailored tools and strategies. Together, we will identify triggers and explore ways to alleviate the physical and emotional symptoms you may be experiencing. Having been raised in a military family and lived in various states, I have gained unique insights into community, culture, and the importance of building new relationships. I am eager to learn and develop a trusting relationship with you as we work together to enhance your well-being and foster self-compassion on your journey.

Hi. I'm Steve. Do you ever wonder why, no matter how many different things you've tried, you fall back into old behaviors that hurt you and/or those you love?

I don’t have any “one-size-fits-all” solutions, but together we will work to identify what drives your responses and what you can do to make lasting changes. We will work to help you anticipate and prevent issues before they appear, to feel emotional intensity rising and calm it down, and to exit stressful situations before doing or saying something you’ll regret. I don’t believe that our worst moments define us. I DO believe that each of us is capable of overcoming past struggles and finding a new path. I look forward to working with you as you try to find yours.

Trauma hurts. It can be sudden, life-altering and overwhelming, or chronic, subtle and nearly unnoticeable, but either way it can change the way we think about others, the world, and unfortunately, ourselves. Dealing with the aftermath—changes in our relationships, lashing out toward self or others, feeling nothing and/or everything all at once—is sometimes as hard as the initial event, especially when society, friends and family and our own minds tell us to “just get over it.” Worse, sometimes we aren’t even sure where the trauma came from in the first place, leaving us confused and even feeling hopeless. If you could just “get over it,” you would, but sometimes the brain simply cannot process traumatic events without help, and this is why trauma therapy exists. :) I'm an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas. I've been in practice for nearly 15 years and have been doing EMDR therapy for 13 of those. I specialize in helping teens and adults process trauma of all kinds.

Welcome! I am Licensed Professional counselor and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with resilience and hope. With a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Walden University, I bring both expertise and warmth to my practice. My journey into counseling was shaped by my commitment to empowering those at risk.

My Name is Ashlyn and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Sam Houston State University. My passion for therapy and ability to connect with kids made my path to specialize in Play Therapy along with Animal-Assisted Play Therapy. I focus in Child-Centered and Gestalt Play Therapy to build children’s connections with their body and mind and build confidence in speaking about their feelings. I offer CBT practices to teens and young adults seeking help with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, trauma, and social skills. I have a diverse background working with people of all cultures and socioeconomic backgrounds. My goal in therapy is to build genuine connections with others and provide support and empathy to all of my clients. Outside of Therapy, I enjoy Legos, Video Games, and spending time outside going on adventures with my dogs!

Grief can be overwhelming. It can be sad and lonely when you miss a loved one so much. I can help you through the sadness to be able to live in the next season of your life with peace and joy. Does this sound familiar? You want to move past the sadness and grief but instead you feel: ● Like you should be further along in your grieving ● Crying more than you think you should be ● Overcome with sadness and longing of what life was like ● Feeling like everything is moving forward while you are at a standstill ● Afraid of change and the unknown ● Do your thoughts begin to spiral ● Grieving the loss of a relationship - romantic, with family members or friends, complicated relationships with family whom are still alive ● Grieving the loss of a loved one – parents, child, significant other You may be finding yourself short or easily frustrated with your spouse, children, family, co-workers, difficulty focusing at home or work, crying more than usual and feeling sad/lonely. Life doesn’t have to stay this way. Hi, I’m Elisabeth Zaragoza, LPC, and I can help. I provide grief counseling using a space that is warm and understanding for you to share your loss or life transition.
