Are you searching for someone to listen to you? For many years, I have heard over and over, “Thank you, I have just been wanting someone to listen to me”. I have always felt led to just sit and listen when someone opens up and spills their heart to me.
I have been a licensed social worker since 1996, working with clients in healthcare settings and case management. In addition to being a licensed social worker, I completed graduate school and met a lifelong dream of becoming a licensed professional counselor in 2022. I have worked with the senior population in skilled, nursing, private homes, and inpatient physical rehabilitation for 30 years. This brought me to not only work directly with the senior population, but also their family members to provide the love and support needed to get through life's challenges and circumstances. I have gained experience in helping work through stress, anxiety, depression, family dynamics, job loss, marital problems, physical limitations, and/or disabilities, as well as long-term life-altering situations. I am a wife, a mother of two young adult children, a mother-in-law, a grandmother, a sister, and a daughter myself. My own life experiences help to ground me while supporting others.
I understand and know how family dynamics affect an individual’s physical and emotional health in all aspects of their daily lives. I am trauma-informed. I understand and realize that traumatic experiences (no matter when they happened in life) can follow us down the road when we don't even realize it is happening. Once a client understands how trauma affects their brain function and daily life, they can realize the power they have to make positive change in their lives, where before they may have felt stuck or powerless.

I help marginalized individuals break free from the effects of childhood trauma and chronic anxiety. If you’ve tried talk therapy and still feel stuck, you’re not alone. Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, unresolved trauma, and relationship challenges that continue to show up in their daily lives. Using Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), I help clients reprocess how their brain responds to past negative experiences, so they can experience real, lasting relief without having to relive every detail. With a background in education and experience working with mothers and Veterans, I understand the unique stressors that come with caregiving, service, and high-responsibility roles. You don’t have to keep managing this on your own. Healing is possible—and you are worthy of it!
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker-Supervisor in Texas. I obtained my Master's in Social Work in 2011 from the University of Texas at Arlington and have been practicing for 13 years. My passion is assisting adults experiencing burnout from their careers, demands of the various roles they perform outside of their profession, and the challenges life brings. My goal is to provide a safe space for clients to discuss, identify, and process their emotions as well as assist them with navigating their journey to mental wellness.
My name is Dr. Cameron Ortega. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor in Texas. I earned my PhD in Rehabilitation Counseling from the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. I have worked as a therapist for 16 years. As your therapist, I am here to support and guide you as you work toward your goals.
Welcome, I'm Braden.
I specialize in helping individuals and families heal from trauma and move toward integration and wholeness. My approach is grounded in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and TBRI (Trust-Based Relational Intervention), as well as a strong understanding of the latest neuroscience to help you regain balance and inner peace.
In our work together, we’ll focus on your whole self—mind, body, and spirit. Whether you’re struggling with attachment wounds, family conflict, parenting challenges, or past trauma, I offer evidence-based tools, such as mindfulness and DBT skills, to support you in healing and creating lasting change.
I understand that taking the first step toward therapy can be overwhelming, but I want you to know that you are not alone. In our sessions, I’ll meet you with compassion, understanding, and practical techniques to help you break through the barriers keeping you stuck.
If you’re ready to start your healing journey, I’d be honored to walk alongside you and support you every step of the way. Together, we can create a path forward and restore balance in your life.
Let’s work together to build a stronger, healthier you.
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! I am here for you. I understand how you feel and I will not judge you. I will not shame you or make you feel guilty. It is my job to help you feel comfortable and at ease. It is my job to get you living and laughing again. I do laughter therapy! I promise to inspire you, empower you, to free you to live your best and happiest life. Life is too short to live depressed or anxious. Set up an appointment with me today and let’s get started. Oh, and by the way, I’ve been doing this for 20 years. I might know a thing or two! 😉
Hi! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Texas. I specialize in a narrative, solution focused, cognitive behavioral therapy to gently help you to uncover your strengths, rewriting life's narratives and moving toward a positive path forward.
I know that times can bring rocky challenges and life is not always linear and sometimes that can make you feel tough on yourself. I will help you to find the positive change that can redirect you on your path.
Greetings! As a seasoned Licensed Professional Counselor rooted in the heart of Texas, I am here to embark on a journey of positive change with you through the convenience of telehealth services. My focal point revolves around adolescents and adults, and I am unwaveringly committed to delivering top-notch care with a foundation built on evidence-based therapeutic techniques.
In our virtual space, my primary goal is to fashion an environment that exudes safety and empathy, allowing you to explore your emotions freely and confront challenges head-on. Together, we'll nurture personal growth as we work collaboratively to empower you. My genuine dedication lies in providing you with the necessary tools to not only surmount obstacles but also to pave the way for a life brimming with fulfillment and overall well-being.
Let's embark on this journey together, uncovering your strengths and resilience, and crafting a future where you are in command of your own narrative. Your well-being is my priority, and I am here to support you every step of the way.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing teletherapy to teens, adults, and couples. I collaborate with patients to find solutions to the challenges that disrupt their lives. Overcoming a crisis in your relationship, working your way through loss as you grieve a loved one or life change, managing feelings or moods that overwhelm you and keep you from healthy functioning......these are just a few of the reasons that people begin therapy. Whatever might be challenging you and keeping you from living your best life, we can find solutions together, in therapy. Let's get started!
Growing up in a military community as a student-athlete and bartender, I learned quickly that my passion and love for people would take the lead in picking a career. While receiving my master's degree at the University of Southern California, I concentrated on family and couple dynamics with a focus on military culture. Since becoming licensed in Texas, I have worked in the acute hospital setting with individuals in crisis processing trauma and working through the stages of grief. I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing (MI), solution-focused therapy, and task-oriented therapy. I look forward to working with individuals and couples in all different stages of life to help them process, heal, and move forward with proper coping skills to be as successful as possible.
Life has its challenges, and you don’t need to go through them alone. I provide a safe space by creating a warm, non-judgmental and empowering environment that allows you to process your feelings and work towards creating the life you want to live.
Seeking support is one of the most important and often one of the most difficult decisions a person can make. You’re here because you know your life can be better. I’m here to help you break through the hurdles that are in your way.
Congratulations for taking the most important first step towards healing.

Greetings! My name is Rachel Childers and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. I received my Masters from Lamar University and have over 10 years experience working with families and adolescents. I specialize in helping women and adolescents that are experiencing challenges in their life. This may be due to anxiety, depression, grief, experienced trauma, or a life transition such as being a new mom or adolescent school issues.
I believe that it should not be hard to live a better life, because people can change and there is hope. I, Daniell' Chisley, offer therapy services for adults and juveniles (13-17). We can come up with solutions together. I offer integrated treatment styles that are safe, inclusive, and tailored to you, so that you can feel heard and get the help that you need. Helping you to heal is my goal. I will guide you to acceptance, understanding, and developing results.
I am warm, DIRECT, solution-focused, AUTHENTIC, mildly confrontational, 100% Raw/Real and guaranteed to make you laugh as I have heard often from clients that I am funny :-) I won't lie to you or co-sign lies you tell yourself. I will gently reflect what you are not saying and what you are not showing so that you can explore for yourself. The intention of services provided to present and future clients are to support them in navigating through the pain. The only way out is through. Not above, below, or around the pain but through it. The good news is you are not alone and don’t have to do it alone. Utilize the resources offered in this collaborative effort in creating the life (mind, body, & soul) you deserve.
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.
I’m a licensed therapist with experience supporting children, teens, and adults. I love helping people navigate life’s challenges, manage stress, and develop healthy coping skills while building confidence and resilience. I am passionate about mental health advocacy and breaking the stigma around seeking help. My goal is to create a warm, safe, and understanding space where you feel truly heard, supported, and empowered to grow at your own pace.
I try to provide a safe and private space where someone can process their feelings and emotions and discuss the difficulties they are experiencing. I like to help people find solutions to the problems they are having and help them continue living their lives without their traumas or their past weighing them down. Every person deserves to live life to the fullest.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist nearing 20 years’ experience, I work with a foundation of Solution Focus and Systemic Therapy. I’m often looking for "the funny" in the moment and the world around me. I greatly enjoy sarcasm, snark, and satire. I'm fairly casual but have been told I "Clean up well", and clients have told me in the past they appreciate that I do not come across as "stuffy".
I'm often daydreaming of going on cruises with my wife and occasionally think about bringing our children as well. I treasure a long nap in a hammock, and I love movie. Once upon a time I even submitted a short film to the Cannes Film Festival (wasn't selected) but I did enter. Prior to being a therapist, I found myself listening and caring, as people would end up just talking to me and telling me their life story. I decided I should put that to good use. Additionally, growing up my family was fortunate to be able to adopt and quickly we became a larger family that could not remember when my sister was not part of the family. Through the process, I realized how important family and relationships.
I appreciate and look forward to the chance to help others get through the rough patches, when life hits hard. When the answer is not easily found, we take time to look at all the options and find something, at least one step towards better. We're not looking for perfection, just looking for progress, a little bit here and there.
You deserve to live a life that feels authentic and purposeful. With 8 years of experience, I partner with preteens, teens, and adults across Texas who are ready to move past the weight of anxiety, trauma, and burnout. I believe therapy is a collaborative partnership; my role is to provide the high-level clinical tools you need to reach your full potential and live as your best self.
I hold a Master’s from Lamar University and specialize in CBT, CPT, and other evidence-based modalities. My approach is strictly goal-oriented, focusing on actionable change rather than just discussing symptoms. Whether we meet in North Richland Hills or virtually, we will work together to dismantle the obstacles holding you back and build the lasting resilience you deserve.
Usted merece vivir una vida que se sienta auténtica y con propósito. Con 8 años de experiencia, colaboro con preadolescentes, adolescentes y adultos en todo Texas que están listos para dejar atrás el peso de la ansiedad, el trauma y el agotamiento. Creo que la terapia es una asociación colaborativa; mi función es brindarle las herramientas clínicas de alto nivel que necesita para alcanzar su máximo potencial y ser su mejor versión.
Cuento con una maestría de la Universidad de Lamar y me especializo en Terapia Cognitiva Conductual (TCC), Terapia de Procesamiento Cognitivo (TPC) para el TEPT y otras modalidades basadas en evidencia. Mi enfoque está orientado totalmente a sus metas, centrándose en cambios accionables más que solo en hablar de los síntomas. Ya sea que nos reunamos en North Richland Hills o de forma virtual, trabajaremos juntos para eliminar los obstáculos que le detienen y construir la resiliencia duradera que usted merece.

Greetings,
As a clinical psychologist with 33 years of experience, I am prepared to help you address common psychological struggles. By guiding you to identify triggers and maladaptive behaviors, we can develop coping strategies to alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression. If there are underlying trauma issues, I have extensive experience working with those situations as well. Additionally, I have helped many clients struggling with behavioral medicine issues such as stress management, smoking cessation, and substance use.
Once coping skills are in place to enhance functioning and help you feel a greater sense of control, we can explore your personal history and underlying factors which contribute to your difficulties, if desired. At regular intervals, we will evaluate your need and preference for ongoing therapy. Thus, treatment will be tailored for a limited problem-focused approach or an in-depth approach as warranted.
I believe that a collaborative effort in therapy leads to the best outcome. You may be asked to track thoughts and behaviors for review in the sessions. Completing homework assignments are an important component of treatment. I look forward to being with you on your wellness and recovery journey.
I have entered a limited number of appointment slots on the calendar; however, if you are interested please contact me to discuss other availability.
Hello,
I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over twenty years of experience and licensed in Michigan and Texas. I've worked with a variety of clients in many different settings. While I have worked in many areas of mental health, my current emphasis is working with adults, seniors (+65) and college students. My focus is working with those experiencing Trauma/PTSD, ADHD, anxiety, depression and career and life transitions.
Hello! I'm a Licensed Professional Counsellor (LPC). I am licensed in Texas as well as Georgia. I received my Masters from the Texas Wesleyan University and have been practicing for 10 years. I work primarily with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, grief and loss, parenting issues, career/life transitions, family relationships, and anger management. I utilize a Solution Focused, Cognitive Behavioral and Client-centered approach to therapy. I strive to empower my clients to change the way they view themselves and to focus on being more accepting of who they are and desire to be. I approach goal setting as a collaborative partnership in which the client is proactive in helping to set their own goals for therapy.
I am a licensed professional counselor living in the great state of Texas. I daily engage in reading, exercise, and quality time with my husband and children. I enjoy hearing the life stories of others, and addressing the wounds and toxic thinking that keep us bound in unhealthy choices and behaviors. I want to help you become a lifelong overcomer!
Do you struggle with people-pleasing, low self-worth, or painful relationships that leave you feeling like you’ve lost yourself? Maybe you grew up in a family that looked “fine” on the outside but left you with invisible scars of trauma. You might find yourself replaying old patterns—turning to food, restriction, or overexercise to cope, feeling guilty when you try to set boundaries, or wondering why you keep choosing partners who don’t treat you well. If you’re exhausted from trying to hold it all together while doubting yourself inside, therapy can help you finally break free.
The value of serving others has been evident throughout my life. Having many years of work experience, including the armed forces, has helped me become a more flexible and well-rounded individual.
My experience is across a variety of behavioral health settings including various levels of education, structured outpatient and inpatient psychiatric facilities, outreach and community mental health, managed care, and private practice promoting alternative therapies such as Emotional Support Animals as an accommodation and Hopscotch Play. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), additional credentials are Certified Anger Resolution Therapist (CART) and Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional (CIMHP).
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Texas. I completed my undergraduate degree in Social Work at Texas Lutheran University in 2000, and then completed my master's degree in social work at The University of Texas at Austin in 2006. My work history includes Early Child Intervention, Texas Children's Cancer Center, skilled nursing facility, and private practice. I enjoy working with clients of all ages, work towards setting goals and achieving them.

I specialize in the area of anxiety and anger management, ADHD regulation strategies, grief and loss. I received my Bachelor's degree in Psychology in 1998, and my Master's in Social Work in 2000.
Do you miss feeling in control of your emotions during day to day interactions with others? Sometimes anxiety and anger can impede important relationships in our life. Do you feel as if you do things like you are driven by a motor, and have difficulty organizing your day to day tasks? I focus on providing my patients with the tools to feel in control of their world again while enjoying a more positive interactions with the important people in their lives.
Do you ever feel anxious or on edge? How about shortness of breath or a racing heartbeat? Or have you experienced a loss of interest in activities you used to love doing, helplessness, or feelings of emptiness?

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, mentally unsteady, or unsure how to move forward — you don’t have to carry that alone.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and graduate of North Carolina State University. I work with adults navigating anxiety, burnout, life transitions, relationship stress, and questions of direction or purpose. Many of the people I support feel capable and motivated — yet internally worn down, struggling to feel grounded, present, or confident in themselves.
My primary focus is helping clients stabilize emotionally and mentally — so you feel more anchored, regulated, and clear. From that place of steadiness, we begin to explore how you can grow into the fullest version of yourself, making the most of your strengths, values, and lived experience rather than trying to become someone you’re not.
Therapy with me is not about pushing or fixing — it’s about creating a solid foundation where clarity, confidence, and meaningful change can naturally emerge. For those who find meaning and strength in their Christian faith, I welcome that as part of our work together — though spirituality is never required or assumed. You bring what matters to you, and we build from there.

I specialize in helping individuals navigate life's challenges, build emotional resilience, and create meaningful change. I believe that healing begins with genuine human connection. I show up in my therapeutic sessions not just as a clinician, but as a real person - someone who values honesty, warmth, and the courage it takes to face life's challenges. My work is grounded in authenticity because I know that people heal best when they are truly seen , heard, and accepted without judgment.

As a Licensed Psychotherapist serving clients in Florida, Georgia, New Hampshire, and Texas, I am passionate about supporting individuals on their journey toward healing, growth, and reconnection. I believe that true healing is not just about the mind, but also about honoring the body and nurturing the spirit. This belief has shaped my Somatic Insight Therapeutic Approach—one that gently invites you back into relationship with yourself.
With a strong foundation in trauma-informed care, I have seen how powerful it can be when we slow down and begin to listen to what the body is holding. Together, we create a safe, supportive space where you can explore your inner experiences with curiosity and compassion. By weaving together mindfulness, body awareness, and evidence-based therapeutic practices, I help you tune into your emotions, understand your nervous system, and move through your experiences at a pace that feels right for you.
Our work together is collaborative and personalized. We may integrate reflective conversation, breathwork, and gentle somatic practices to help you reconnect with your body, build self-awareness, and find a sense of grounding and steadiness within. My intention is to support you in feeling more at home in yourself—more connected, more resourced, and more empowered in your healing.
Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, chronic illness, life transitions, or the lingering effects of trauma, you don’t have to do it alone. I am here to walk alongside you with care and intention, as you rediscover your strength, reclaim your story, and move toward a deeper sense of balance, peace, and wholeness.

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.

My name is Josalynn Cartagena and I am an LPC. I graduated from CA-CREP accredited Sam Houston State University in 2018 in school counseling. After graduating, I began working in public education as a middle and high school counselor. I also worked for a tutoring company doing behavioral coaching for youth and for another private practice seeing clients of all ages. In 2023, I started my own bilingual virtual private practice, Sol Shines On, PLLC to help people find hope and feel valued, heard and understood to discover a better outcome for their life and future. I use the modalities of CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), Person Centered Theory and EMDR to process negative memories. I am constantly striving to grow myself with continued education, certifications and specialties to expand my knowledge as a counselor in ways I can continue to help you grow.
You don’t have to face your thoughts and emotions alone. A peaceful life is possible, regardless of your circumstances. We’re often troubled more by our perceptions than by reality itself. Sometimes, our thoughts—not our situation—are the scariest part. Even when life gets hard, how we see things shapes how we feel and how much we suffer.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), I offer tools that are evidence-based and proven effective—both in research and in my own work with clients. By shifting our thoughts and behaviors, we can transform every part of our lives and relationships. We don’t have to be prisoners to unhelpful thoughts; we have ways to work through them.
CBT can help with anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, relationship struggles, and more. I’d be honored to support you in creating meaningful change.
