LIFE be LIFING… From the outside, you’re holding it together—but inside, you’re exhausted and running on empty. Your mind won’t slow down, your emotions feel heavy, and you’re just trying to get through the day. You may even be experiencing compassion fatigue—giving so much to others that there’s nothing left for you. You don’t have to keep doing this alone. I help you move out of survival mode, gain clarity, and feel more grounded, calm, and in control. I’m a compassionate and direct therapist who believes healing starts with feeling seen, heard, and understood without judgment. I work with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use recovery, compassion fatigue, relationship challenges, and overwhelming life stressors. My approach is practical, supportive, and grounded in helping clients better understand themselves while building healthier coping skills, emotional balance, and stronger boundaries. I strive to create a space where clients can show up authentically, process difficult experiences, and work toward meaningful, lasting change at their own pace.

Hi! I am Gene Gibbs, a trained counselor and mental health therapist. I enjoy helping people as they navigate the issues and concerns that arise as one lives from day to day. I seek to provide a sounding board that allows clients to hear what they are saying and then to process their thoughts and ideas and get a clear view of how they are heard and what it means. From the processing step I move to clarification and application. They goal is to help the client do what is helpful for them and for those with whom they interact.

I’m a business owner, a single mom, and a foster and adoptive parent. I understand what it’s like to juggle multiple roles, carry constant responsibility, and still want to show up well for the people who matter most. One thing I say often is “work on yourself first.” It’s one of the few things we actually have control over, but it’s also the thing we tend to put off. We’re busy, we’re juggling everything, and before we know it, we’re stuck in patterns that feel frustrating and hard to break. No judgment here. I get it. I’ve been working with individuals and families as a therapist since 2018, with a background in healthcare prior to that, and I’ve spent my career serving the Fort Worth community I grew up in. I take a solution-focused, strengths-based approach, which means we’ll focus on what’s already working, build on your strengths, and create practical steps that actually move things forward.

You’re hear to really dig in and discover why you are experiencing life the way you are at the moment, so we get right to it. I create an atmosphere of acceptance that helps you to talk about hard things, but equips you with practical tools to “do the hard things” as well.

When I think about the journey I have taken in life, it started in middle school. I was the friend in the group whom everyone came to for encouragement and inspiration, so no one was surprised when I first started teaching; I declared to my community, "I am going back to school AGAIN, and this time to pursue a degree in becoming a counselor." My passion as a therapist is to be that "encouraging cheerleader for others" whenever people find themselves hopeless.

I address issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, substance abuse, teen issues, anger and stress management, life transitions, aggression, and ADHD. In addition, I am a retired board-certified Special Education teacher with 15 years of experience. My counseling approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). CBT involves helping clients learn and practice new skills, develop healthier thinking patterns, and adopt more effective coping strategies. I may assign homework to reinforce the skills we work on during sessions, as I believe that applying these techniques in your daily life enhances their effectiveness. SFBT operates on the principle that individuals are competent and capable of finding solutions to improve their lives. In our sessions, you will have the opportunity to describe your challenges, set personal goals, and provide feedback. Occasionally, I may incorporate other techniques, such as role-playing, if they are beneficial for your progress. I am committed to supporting those who seek to enhance their emotional well-being. During our initial visit, we will discuss your reasons for seeking therapy and outline what you hope to achieve from our sessions. The first session typically lasts about an hour.

Hey, I’m Jeannuel I’m really glad you’re here. I’m a therapist, but more importantly, I’m someone who deeply values human connection, honesty, and showing up authentically. I believe therapy should feel safe, supportive, and real — not intimidating or overly clinical. I’m warm, down-to-earth, and optimistic by nature. I value laughter when it fits, honesty even when things feel messy, and creating a space where you don’t have to pretend to have it all together. I believe healing happens when people feel truly seen and supported — not judged or rushed. My work is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and respect for each person’s story. Outside of the therapy room, I’m someone who appreciates balance, reflection, and growth. I care deeply about helping people reconnect with themselves and trust their inner voice again , or even discover it for the first time.

I am Aaliyah Holiday, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the founder of Christie's Circle PLLC, a virtual therapy practice built specifically with Black adults in mind. I created this practice because I believe that Black men and women deserve a therapeutic space that does not require them to code-switch, over-explain, or shrink their experiences to be understood. A space where your grief is taken seriously, your faith is respected without judgment, and your cultural identity is seen as a strength rather than a footnote. My work is rooted in grief therapy, trauma-informed care, and strengths-based healing. I specialize in supporting Black adults who are carrying hidden grief, whether that is the loss of a relationship, a miscarriage, a career, an identity, or a version of themselves that quietly slipped away. I also work with Black professionals who are burned out, overwhelmed, and struggling to hold everything together while rarely making space for their own emotional needs. As a Certified Grief-Informed Professional, I bring both clinical training and genuine compassion to every session. I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and culturally responsive approaches, including racial trauma treatment, to help clients move from survival mode into a place of real emotional stability and peace. For clients who desire it, I also offer Christian counseling that honors your faith while holding space for any complicated feelings you may have about the church. Healing here is never one size fits all. I provide virtual therapy sessions to clients in Texas, Virginia, and Maine. If you are ready for a therapist who truly gets it, I would be honored to walk alongside you.

Hello, I am Shana Toney, a Licensed Professional Counselor. Over my lifetime I have always worked in human services. It was gratifying to work with clients in their time of need and support them through the process. Many of the clients would say they felt comfortable talking to me and I listened to their needs. Those years of serving the community led me to become a therapist. Once I became a therapist 8 years ago, I found my passion. I love having the opportunity and freedom to work with clients, helping them figure things out, learn to create change in their lives and coping with situations they have no control over. Change is not easy but possible. My role as a therapist is to walk with clients to help create their change and happiness they desire.
