Round Rock, TX - Accepting clients in TX
I've wanted to be a therapist since I was 9 years old. It's been a lifelong dream that I was able to achieve. My first experience with mental health is in a community mental health facility. I learned lots about major mental illness and skills training. I believe this time developed me into a therapist that "teaches" my client how to help themselves and how to relate to people on a personal level.
My passions outside of work are DIY projects in my new home, crocheting, camping and my pug. I love reading romance novels. I am also a wife, mother and grandmother. I am a stepmother, bio-mother, mother of twins, mother of boys, mother of girls and have a variety of ages.

“Everyone is going through something and that shapes who they are.” I take the time to understand the client through compassion.
I earned a Master of Education Degree in School Counseling from Dallas Baptist University. I have over 20 years of experience in education as a teacher, school counselor, director of counseling and post-secondary readiness. My extensive knowledge and experience in Pk-12 counseling have shaped my approach to clients.
Remember that therapy is a collaborative process, and your active engagement and commitment play a significant role in their progress. It's also important to note that therapy's timeline varies for each individual; some people might experience significant changes relatively quickly, while others might require longer-term support. The therapeutic journey is a personal one, and I work with my clients to create a tailored approach that suits their needs and goals.

Krystal Whipple, LCSW,
I believe that therapy is a space created just for you—a place where you can feel truly heard, understood, and supported. As a therapist with both a Master’s and Bachelor’s degree in Social Work, I am committed to helping adults navigate the complexities of life. My approach is client-centered, meaning each session is tailored to your unique needs, goals, and experiences.
I specialize in working with adults who are dealing with a variety of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, self-esteem issues, and life transitions. Life can be overwhelming at times, but you don’t have to face these challenges alone. My role is to walk alongside you, providing support, insight, and tools to help you manage life’s difficulties and discover your own path to healing.
In addition to my formal training in social work, I hold a grief certification from David Kessel, which has provided me with specialized skills to support individuals who are navigating loss. I understand how grief can touch every part of your life and how healing from it is a deeply personal process. My goal is to create a compassionate space where you can process your grief and begin to rebuild in your own time and way.
Whether you're dealing with the everyday stresses of life or deeper emotional wounds, therapy can be a powerful tool for self-discovery and growth. I believe in empowering my clients to tap into their inner strengths and find healthier ways of coping and thriving.
You deserve support, and together we can work toward greater emotional well-being and a more fulfilling life.

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. My clients walk away from therapy with me feeling heard, understood, confident and ability to face what lies before them.

Houston, TX - Accepting clients in TX
The human experience is not something that always works based on logic. Our brains are wonderful tools that can occasionally get stuck in a survival mode that leaves us feeling helpless and terrified. We can become stuck logical loops, anxious cycles, helpless before the fear of the unknown, or in a dark depression that stops us from continuing our previous goals and fun hobbies. Our past can be a reason for this. Sometimes it might be recent events at just the wrong time. It can even be a combination of small things that seemed to always shift never going away.
My philosophy of treatment is to teach my clients how mind and body work so that they can make their choice in how they choose to live and interact with others. I am trained in EMDR, hypnosis, and IFS and apply all in working with PTSD, trauma, anxiety, depression and for pain management from physical illness.
A person's mind is like a garden, cultivated or left to it's own devices it will always grow. When carefully tended it is a thing of beauty, but if left alone it is a mess of weeds. In understanding the thoughts and beliefs you have about the world and how you can shape them, you can learn to thrive. With a new perspective you can change everything.

Allow me to connect with you to fulfill my life's purpose and help you reach your full potential. You are not alone and you are cared for, even by people you haven't met yet.
Licensed as both a Professional Counselor and a Marriage & Family Therapist, I bring knowledge and experience from both fields into my work. I specialize in working with adolescents, adults, and couples with issues related to anxiety, depression, and relational difficulties. Life can get complicated, so it helps to consider things from all angles.
Change is possible. Your current circumstances do not have to dictate your future. "You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think." - Christopher Robin. When you're ready, check out my website or give me a call. You decide when the rest of your life begins. I hope it's soon and I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello, I'm Dennis Alvarez. Counseling should encourage and challenge individuals to meet their fullest potential by addressing their mental, emotional, and spiritual needs. I have a professional Psychology Doctorate as well as a post-graduate diploma in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.
My previous professional experiences include providing group and individual therapy as well as comprehensive assessments to adults in hospitals, substance use centers, and in private practice.
When I work with clients, I like to help them understand how and why certain behaviors or patterns of behaviors occur. I work with individuals with a history of depression, anxiety, trauma, and substance abuse issues.
I always seek to create a safe and therapeutic environment while remaining supportive and nonjudgmental. I will use our therapy time to encourage you to live your best, most authentic life.

It’s been said, it’s not the load that breaks us down, but the way we carry it (Anonymous).
Is it getting harder for you to carry your load? If so, let’s work together to unpack your load (beliefs), and reorganize your possessions (thoughts) to not only lighten the burden but also leave ample room for a brighter future!
I support children, adolescents, adults, couples, families, and groups to address emotional lability, behavior difficulties, anxiety, depression, anger management, trauma, conflict resolution, problem-solving, and personal growth. I have an educational and professional background in the juvenile justice system, battered women’s shelters, psychology, and public education.
During the therapy process, I assist clients in discovering dysfunctional thought patterns and developing healthy ones. In doing so, clients will uncover their strengths, build support systems, and develop healthy thought patterns to build the foundation for life's success. My question to you is, are you ready to unpack?

My name is Cynthia Scott and I have been an individual therapist for over 15 years. I work with individuals. I am an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) and have worked in Universities, Training in Companies and Private Practice. I have authored a book called "When Anxiety Attacks", so I am trained in ways people can help themselves but need help in putting these new ideas and behaviors in practice. I designed a program for NASA Mission Control engineers for problems with public speaking. This program is still being used today. I particularly like working with anxious or depressed clients, small changes make a huge difference in how happy we feel about our life. Over the years I have learned my best skills are listening and problem solving and I focus on your strengths to help you feel less anxious, and less depressed and ways to make your life less stressful. I do my best to make you feel like you can enjoy your sense of personal power and confidence again.

Hey there! Are you feeling a little overwhelmed lately? You’re not alone. Maybe you’ve been juggling a million things, second-guessing yourself, or trying to keep everyone else happy while quietly burning out. If that sounds familiar, I see you and I’d love to help.
I work with millennials, professionals and creatives who are ready to stop running on autopilot and start feeling more connected, calm, and confident in their own skin. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, going through a big life transition, struggling with boundaries, or just feeling “off,” we’ll work together to make sense of it and create space for something new.
In our sessions, you can expect compassion, curiosity, and maybe even a little humor when it fits. I use an integrative approach rooted in evidence-based practices like CBT, but I also bring creativity and flexibility into the process because therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all, and neither are you.
This is your space to breathe, reflect, and grow. You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to show up and we’ll take it from there, together.
