Do you feel worn down by the relentless events of your life? Are you overwhelmed by the myriad of self-help choices out there and need some guidance? Have you experienced loss and don’t know what to do with those intense feelings? Do you just feel like you are “going through the motions”, pleasing everyone but yourself? I get it. I’ve been there too. I work with people going through those transition periods when they are on the brink of either breakdown or breakthrough, and help them discover new and exciting possibilities as they reinvent themselves through adversity. I am a kind but practical, no-nonsense therapist. I want you to get results, not just rehash your problems over and over.

Welcome! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-S) based in Texas. I am originally from San Antonio, Texas, and received my bachelor’s degree in Social Work at the University of Texas at Austin. During my undergraduate work I had the opportunity to study abroad in Accra, Ghana. After my ungraduate studies, I stayed in Austin for a while to continue working overnight at a shelter for survivors of sexual and domestic violence for women, children, and transgendered women while answering a 24/7 National Suicide Prevention Hotline. I went on to attain my master’s degree in Clinical Social Work from the Graduate College of Social Work at the University of Houston. I spent two additional years in clinical supervision working in hospitals, crisis mobile mental health, and facilitating groups to attain my independent clinical license. Thereafter, I spent time in clinical practice to build expertise to become a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Supervisor providing individual, family, and group therapy. Most recently I have broadened my scope of practice to include my Chemical Dependency Counseling license and Certification in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. In my free time, I enjoy singing, spending time with family and friends, cooking, film, and television. I help adults struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship distress, and work related stress become the best versions of themselves.

We'll use a holistic model to integrate mind, body, and spirit. This encourages you to discover the skills or strategies that help you to be the best you can be.

I truly believe in a person's ability to grow and change as you travel down your pathway to mental health and well-being. Learning to live in the present allows us to experience healing and wellness in the here and now. Whether you're dealing with complex relationship issues that seem hopeless and overwhelming or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. I strive to create a safe and comfortable space where healing and growth are encouraged. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with trust, empathy and compassion while using evidence-based techniques so you can overcome barriers and obstacles that have been holding you back.

Hello! My name is Guadalupe, I am a Catholic Licensed Professional Counselor who has experience working with diverse populations. My approach to therapy entails collaborating with you as an individual and working together to navigate towards the root of the issue. During our sessions, you are in control – we will only go as far as you are willing to. However, as your therapist, it will be my duty to carefully prod and inquire in certain instances to help you in your healing process. This may sound uncomfortable, even scary, but I hope you learn how discomfort may bring changes to your emotional stability, general happiness, and overall mental state. If you have come this far to search for a therapist then there is a part of you that is conscious of a living experience absent of these burdens: it is that same part that believes and hopes on that version of you. Consider then listening to that inner voice that is yearning to be known. ¡Hola! Mi nombre es Guadalupe, soy una consejera licenciada profesional católica con experiencia trabajando con varios casos. Mi estilo de dar terapia consiste en trabajar contigo como individuo y juntos empezar ayudarte navegar hasta llegar al problema principal. En nuestras sesiones tu estas en control y solo navegaremos cuan tan profundo ellas quieran ir. Aunque, como tu terapista es mi deber cuidadosamente influir a esas partes que probablemente te detienen ocasiones para ir a lo profundo para que puedan empezar a sanar. Se que pueda sonar algo miedoso, pero puede ser más miedoso si no lo haces. Para este tiempo probablemente ya te diste cuenta del resultado si sigues haciendo lo mismo que has hecho hasta hoy…porque no consideras entonces escuchar a esa parte de ti mismo quien está deseoso por ser conocido.

I witness people in their present predicaments and tell them what I see and feel. Acknowledgement of pain, a counterintuitive process, is the secret sauce of ordering our lives into functional, fun, and life-affirming behaviors. The process of emotional healing takes time, dedication, and practice. Willingness to feel what has been unfelt and to voice what has been unsaid will help you see positive changes in your life.

My name is Mark Chaney. I provide counseling and counseling-related services for children, adolescents, adults, and families together. I have 15 + years of accumulative training and experience in the fields of mental health, trauma, domestic violence, foster care and adoption. Some clients I see are experiencing short-term stressors while others are experiencing longer-term mental health disturbances. For individual therapy, I generally treat adults and adolescents ages 12 and older. For children younger than 12, or for adolescents otherwise not appropriate for telehealth, It may be recommended to address concerns in the form of family therapy. I use an integrated model that build upon a persons existing beliefs, strategies and virtues, and I work with individuals and families experiencing a wide array of presenting concerns. I am a life long student of philosophy. I enjoy reading, writing, painting, drawing, sculpture and playing music. I find peace in the outdoors and camping, inspiration in community collaboration, and I am passionate about psychotherapy. It has been my great privilege to walk with people as they unlock the resources they need to stabilize and grow. I believe that community stigma around mental health is reduced as individuals call on the courage to seek help. "The only normal people are people you dont know very well" -Alfred Adler.

Hello! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing mental health therapy services in Louisiana and Texas, with over 14 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families from diverse backgrounds. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside people during some of their most vulnerable and life-changing moments. These experiences have shaped my understanding of how personal, relational, and cultural factors intersect in our emotional well-being. I believe therapy should be a space where you feel safe, seen, and heard. My goal is to help you find balance, process challenges, and empower you to persevere—even when life feels overwhelming. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship struggles, or simply feeling stuck, we’ll work together to uncover your strengths and create meaningful change. My approach is genuine, down-to-earth, and rooted in authenticity. I strive to create an environment where you feel encouraged to be your true self. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. Instead, I meet you where you are, tailoring our sessions to meet your unique needs and goals. I hope that this personalized and honest connection keeps you engaged and motivated in your healing journey. Whether you are seeking support for the first time or returning to therapy after a break, I’m here to provide thoughtful guidance and compassionate care. Together, we’ll build on what’s already within you—the resilience, wisdom, and hope—to create a more balanced and fulfilling life. If you’re ready to take the next step toward growth and healing, I’d be honored to work with you.

I use an eclectic therapeutic approach tailored to YOUR individual needs and wants. I'm always eager to work with new individuals and have over 10 years of experience.

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, experiencing relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help you navigate those feelings/symptoms. Seeking therapy can feel scary and overwhelming but I'm here to help with that process. You deserve a safe space to heal, grow and process your experiences at YOUR pace.
