Hi there! My name is Brooke Elliott and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Since 2018, I’ve worked in various mental health settings helping my community connect with resources that build self-esteem. I have been practicing as an individual therapist since 2021. Growing up with undiagnosed neurodivergence, shame and struggle marked my everyday interactions with my family and the world around me, as well as my view of who I was as a person. I learned what it felt like to be alone with my anxieties because I didn’t have the words to express to others what I was feeling on the inside. Learning that there was a reason for my struggles opened a new world of self-acceptance and empowerment, one that allowed me to take charge of my life and give myself the care I had been missing. Today, I get to work with people who struggle like I did to find a "method to their madness". Together, we'll get rid of the shame that stops you from finding the acceptance you deserve and work towards building a life that fits within your unique needs.

Who I Am as a Counselor I am a compassionate and dedicated licensed professional counselor with 7 years of school counseling experience, committed to helping you navigate life's challenges.

What I Do In our work together, I use evidence-based techniques tailored to your specific concerns, whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or personal growth.

My goal is to help you build resilience, gain insight, and move toward positive change in your life.

Hi, I'm Attalie. Have you forgotten to take care of yourself? Do you often wonder what it would take to feel some sense of balance in your life again? We are faced with challenges and changes in life constantly. Making adjustments to pivot to meet the expectations of those changes often leads to feelings of overwhelm, disappointment, frustrations and a sense of depletion with no time to care for self. If you often escape, avoid, procrastinate or for that matter take on everyone else's issues except your own sense of wellness and health I am here to help empower you to develop and access your own inner resources and move toward self actualization and personal growth. I look at mental health in a wholistic sense. I mix mindfulness and decades of experience in fitness to help you find what works for you to live your best balanced life and find the fulfillment you need to step into the alignment of your purpose. Developing a strong relationship with self; defining your boundaries, recognizing your value systems and how they pertain to your way of being in this messy world are the staples to grounding yourself mentally. You are enough, you are deserving, and whatever you are dealing with now I'll meet you there. Let's work together to find tools that are intrinsically yours and get to a better you, so that each day is met with a sense of balance and well being despite the stressors in life.

What if you could write the story of your life? The truth is, you can, you are in control of your destiny, you are writing the story of your life right now. The choices you make are directly related to the thoughts you have. That puts you in control, you have the ability to change the way you think, and when you change the way you think, you change your life. The thoughts you are thinking right now are writing the story of your life. If you are not happy with the story, you can reprogram your thoughts to change the story and write it the way you want it to go. Together you and I can work to manage the challenges you are facing today. Therapy may seem scary or even overwhelming, but with the right partner you really can change your life.

Meeting someone new maybe anxiety provoking, but starting therapy? That is truly a daunting task! You’ve made the first step by recognizing that maybe you should talk to someone. Now, all of these bios sound about the same. Which one to pick? How do you know which one will help you the most? You may be thinking, “oh, forget it, I just can’t make that decision right now.” Or, “I don’t want to sit for an hour and cry while I tell a total stranger my life’s story.” Or, “what if someone finds out that I’m not perfect. What if this person thinks I’m crazy and wants to lock me away forever?“ Or, “no one should have to live like I am right now! I’ve got to have some help. I want someone that has a lot of experience, someone that will relate to me, understand me, NOT judge me or my circumstances, and help me figure out this situation!“ And the answer to all those questions is me!

If faith is an important part of your life, I welcome the opportunity to incorporate your personal faith into our work together. My counseling philosophy is grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I believe it takes great courage to reach out for help, and I am here to support and empower you as you take steps toward growth, healing, and a more fulfilling life.

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.

Feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, trauma, stress, or burnout? You may be tired of carrying everything on your own and ready for meaningful change. With 8 years of experience, I help preteens, teens, and adults across Texas develop the tools needed to heal, grow, and move forward with confidence. My approach is supportive, collaborative, and goal-oriented. I use evidence-based treatments, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), to help clients identify unhelpful patterns, strengthen coping skills, and create lasting change. Together, we'll focus on practical strategies that help you feel more in control, improve emotional well-being, and build resilience. I offer therapy in English and Spanish, both virtually throughout Texas and in person in North Richland Hills. ¿Se siente abrumado(a) por la ansiedad, el trauma, el estrés o el agotamiento emocional? No tiene que enfrentar estos desafíos solo(a). Con 8 años de experiencia, ayudo a preadolescentes, adolescentes y adultos en Texas a desarrollar herramientas para sanar, crecer y avanzar con mayor confianza. Mi enfoque es cálido, colaborativo y orientado a metas. Utilizo tratamientos basados en evidencia, incluyendo la Terapia Cognitivo-Conductual (TCC) y la Terapia de Procesamiento Cognitivo (TPC), para ayudarle a identificar patrones que ya no le sirven, fortalecer sus habilidades de afrontamiento y lograr cambios duraderos. Juntos trabajaremos en estrategias prácticas para mejorar su bienestar emocional y recuperar el equilibrio en su vida. Ofrezco terapia en español e inglés de manera virtual en todo Texas y presencialmente en North Richland Hills.
