I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who has been in practice for over 12 years. I like to create a therapeutic environment for you to feel comfortable with letting your guard down and allowing me to be privy to assist you with your vulnerabilities, trials, tribulations, and traumas. I am a strong believer in us working together in exploring self-validation and self-advocation in order to developing the tools needed to best assist you in effectively coping along the way to your journey towards healing, balancing, and growing towards positive and proactive change.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC) with a Master of Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Houston–Victoria. My professional background includes extensive experience working with both the State of Texas and nonprofit organizations, supporting individuals who are seeking to improve their lives and overcome personal challenges.
I have had the privilege of working with clients throughout the lifespan—including children, adolescents, teens, and adults—addressing a broad spectrum of mental health concerns such as anxiety, trauma, depression, stress, and abuse. I am deeply committed to guiding clients through their healing journeys and empowering them to achieve personal growth and emotional well-being.
I believe that trust is the cornerstone of an effective therapeutic relationship. I prioritize creating a safe, confidential, and supportive environment where clients can feel secure and valued. My approach is grounded in empathy, respect, and a genuine understanding of each individual's unique needs.
I utilize evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Informed Care, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. My counseling style is open-minded, compassionate, and non-judgmental. I am passionate about helping clients navigate life’s challenges and look forward to supporting each person on their path to healing and self-discovery.
In addition, I value collaboration with families, healthcare providers, and community resources when appropriate to support comprehensive care. I strive to help clients build healthy coping skills, strengthen resilience, improve communication, and develop greater self-awareness. My goal is to empower each client to recognize their strengths, overcome obstacles, and create meaningful, lasting changes in their daily lives.
Hi! I'm a TX based clinical social worker with 9 years of experience working with youth (14-17), young adults (18-24), and their families. I adopt a "meet you where you are" approach to therapy. I believe therapy should be collaborative and client-led. I help young people struggling with their emotions, particularly anger, sadness, and feelings of anxiety. I also work with families to improve communication and connection. Parents learn to engage with and adapt to the ever-changing needs of their children. Young people learn to recognize different perspectives and grow in their empathy for others.
My name is Charity Midy. I am a graduate of The University of Texas at Arlington where I earned a Master of Social Work Degree. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker located in the state of Texas . I help adults handle stressful life events, negative self-talk, low self-esteem, anxiety and depression by providing a safe, nonjudgmental space to heal.
I bring 18 years of experience in education and mental health to help people who feel overwhelmed, overstimulated, stressed or burned out. I support clients in making sense of their emotions, shifting unhelpful thought patterns, and building practical tools for everyday life.
Alongside the emotional insight work, I also focus on real-world functioning: executive skills like planning, follow-through, goal setting, and creating systems that fit your life. I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, or neurodivergence, offering a supportive and nonjudgmental space to build stability. I hold a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lamar University and am certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

I work with women who feel emotionally overwhelmed, stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns, or disconnected from their sense of self. Many of the women I support struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, people-pleasing, or feeling responsible for everyone else’s needs while neglecting their own.
Therapy with me is a space to slow down, gain clarity, and understand the patterns that keep showing up in your life. Together, we’ll work to strengthen your sense of self, improve communication and boundaries, and develop coping strategies that support long-term emotional well-being—not just short-term relief.
If you’re looking for support that goes beyond symptom management and helps you create meaningful, lasting change, you don’t have to do that work alone.
Therapy, to me, is about real human connection—about creating a space where you can show up fully, without judgment or pressure to be anything other than who you are right now. I see therapy as a collaborative process of curiosity, growth, and healing, where we work together to understand the patterns that shape your life and uncover what’s possible beyond them.
My goal is to make every session a space where you feel deeply seen, understood, and supported. Whether you’re navigating personal transitions, relationships, trauma, or simply trying to reconnect with yourself, I’m here to help you explore your experiences in ways that feel authentic, compassionate, and empowering. I work with individuals, couples, families, and teens from all walks of life, and I’m especially passionate about fostering a safe, inclusive environment for people of all backgrounds, identities, and stories.
Hi, I’m Rachel Humphries, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas. I believe therapy works best when clients feel genuinely seen, safe, and supported without judgment.

I enjoy working with neurodivergent individuals, first responders, helping professionals, and clients navigating anxiety, burnout, trauma, chronic stress, identity exploration, and major life transitions.
Do you feel pulled in a million directions, unable to fit it all in? Are you struggling to keep up with your relationships, work and health? Is it hard to be kind to yourself?
I help patients learn how to manage depression, anxiety, anger, and avoid burnout. I believe you can cope with anything life throws at you and not feel like your stressors are controlling you.
I'm here to help you cope with overwhelming stress, relationship issues, or cycles of anxiety and depression. Seeking help can be scary but remember that asking for help is a sign of great strength. You deserve a safe, empathetic, and judgement-free environment to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups and habits holding you back. Let's work together!
Hi there! I’m Ayana, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with an MSW degree. As a Christian therapist, I specialize in helping Black and African-American women who are struggling with anxiety, depression, anger management, life transitions, spirituality, and stress.
There are times when we find ourselves on autopilot, in a state of being that is mundane, overwhelming, and monotonous. If you are feeling stuck and want more out of life, I'm here to assist with setting goals, overcoming limiting beliefs, and developing appropriate coping skills that will propel you forward in life. I use a combination approach that includes mindfulness practices, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), solution-focused, and person-centered therapies. These techniques help with grounding and appreciating the present moment while identifying belief patterns that are a hindrance. My services are offered on an easily accessible virtual platform, making it convenient for you to receive the support you need from the comfort of your own space.
I believe that seeking therapy is a courageous and empowering step towards improving your overall mental well-being. You have already taken the right step by seeking out a qualified therapist, and I want you to know that I am here for you. Together, we can work on creating a life that feels more fulfilling and aligned with your true self. Outside of my professional life, I value spirituality and the strength it brings to the healing process. I am passionate about helping my clients find balance and peace in their lives. If you're ready to embark on this journey towards better mental health, let's connect and start this transformative process together.
Hi, I'm Shelly — a licensed professional counselor with a passion for helping people find their footing when life feels overwhelming. My journey in mental health began decades ago in music therapy, working in psychiatric settings where I first witnessed the remarkable capacity people have to heal when given the right support and a safe space. That foundation shapes the way I work to this day — with attunement, creativity, and a deep belief in each person's capacity to heal.
I specialize in anxiety, OCD, trauma, and addiction recovery, using evidence-based approaches including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients build real, lasting skills rather than just temporary relief. I have a particular heart for neurodivergent individuals — including those with ADHD and autism — who may have spent years feeling misunderstood. You do fit — sometimes it just takes the right space to discover that.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. Good therapy isn't just about insight — it's about leaving each session with something you can actually use. I'll meet you where you are, move at a pace that feels right, and work hard to make sure our time together is meaningful.
For clients who desire it, I welcome the integration of faith and spirituality into our work. I believe healing touches the whole person — mind, heart, and spirit — and that for many people, faith isn't separate from their healing but central to it. I hold that with care and without pressure.
Whether you're navigating a specific struggle or carrying a weight you've held for too long, you don't have to do it alone. Reaching out is the hardest step — and I'm really glad you're here.
I'd love the opportunity to connect.
’ve felt called to become a therapist since I was nine years old, and that sense of purpose has stayed with me ever since. I began my career in a community mental health setting, where I worked closely with individuals experiencing severe mental illness and learned the importance of practical, real-life coping skills. That experience continues to shape my approach today—I focus on helping clients build insight, develop tools they can actually use, and feel more confident navigating their relationships and daily lives.
Outside of therapy, I enjoy slowing things down and staying grounded through gardening, crocheting, and camping. I’m also a big reader—especially when it comes to romance novels. Family is a central part of my life, and I value the many roles I hold as a wife, mother, stepmother, and grandmother. Raising both boys and girls—including twins—has given me a wide range of life experiences that help me connect with clients from all kinds of backgrounds.
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to go through life’s challenges alone. I provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can openly explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences.
I work with individuals who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, or major life transitions. Sometimes life can feel heavy, confusing, or isolating. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, develop healthier coping strategies, and build the tools you need to move forward with greater confidence and balance.
I am licensed in Florida, Tennessee, and Texas with over 15 years of professional work experience. Seeking support is a courageous step. Whether you’re navigating a difficult time or simply looking to better understand yourself, I’m here to support you on your journey toward healing and growth.

Hi, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based out of Texas. I received my master's in Social Work from Texas State University and am currently working on my Doctorate in Social Work at Simmons University. I have been practicing for a little over five years. I provide compassionate, client-centered therapy to individuals and couples navigating emotional challenges and life transitions. With extensive experience in healthcare social work and community-based case management, I understand the complexities of coping with major life changes and strive to create a supportive and holistic healing space for my clients.

My name is Roy Sheneman. I am an experienced licensed professional counselor. When we meet, it is my goal to get to know you as a whole person and seek ways I may be of service. I treat everyone with respect and offer my lifetime of experience and wisdom as a resource. I believe everyone has the capacity to overcome the challenges of life.
I’ve been in this line of work for over 14 years and I know it is what I was meant to do. I take a warm, supportive yet direct approach to therapy. 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. You will get homework assignments that help to push you further toward your therapy goals and increase your confidence.
Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas, as well as a Certified Life Coach. I have been assisting individuals and groups for over 20 years. "Believe you can, and you are halfway there" is one of my favorite quotes. In working with clients, I strive to help them believe in themselves, and then support them in taking steps to get them where they want to be.
Nobody comes to therapy because they need someone to tell them to “think positive.” They come because they’re tired. Tired of anxiety calling the shots. Tired of repeating the same relationship patterns. Tired of carrying things they were never meant to carry alone.
Life is complicated enough. Understanding yourself shouldn’t be. My job is to help you make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface and give you practical tools you can actually use long after our sessions end.
No two people are the same, so no two sessions are either. We focus on what you need most that day while never losing sight of where you’re trying to go. Some days we’ll process. Some days I’ll challenge you. Some days we’ll laugh because life has a weird sense of humor. Every session has one goal: helping you move forward.
If you’re looking for a therapist who’s engaged, honest, down-to-earth, and willing to have real conversations, I think you’ll feel right at home here.

Hello there! I'm Devin.
I truly believe therapy shouldn't have to feel like a job interview. It's an opportunity to discover great qualities about yourself in the hopes that you can become more empowered and confident about your abilities than you did before.
I strive to assist individuals that struggle with some of the most difficult challenges they face daily (i.e. depression, anxiety, history of trauma, & stress). We will be able to work collectively to identify skills and techniques that help manage some of the negative emotions that stem from burnout at school/work, relationship/friendship issues, and low self-esteem issues.
At the end of the day, I like to provide you the power to dictate which way you want to go with your self-healing. You deserve to feel happy, and you deserve to be able to have control over your life. I look forward to start working with 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’m NaTascha Jones, a Licensed Professional Counselor with a background in counseling, education, and supporting individuals through life’s everyday challenges. I provide a calm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients can feel heard, gain clarity, and begin building practical tools for anxiety, stress, life transitions, emotional wellness, and healthier boundaries. My approach is collaborative and goal-focused, helping clients recognize their strengths, take small meaningful steps, and move toward greater balance, confidence, and resilience.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, depression, or the pressures of balancing everyday life, you don’t have to navigate it alone. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I specialize in helping women and mothers find healing, clarity, and emotional balance through a compassionate blend of faith-based counseling and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
I understand firsthand how exhausting it can feel to constantly pour into others while struggling silently yourself. Because of this, I create a warm, supportive, and judgment-free space where you can feel truly seen, heard, and supported. Together, we will work to overcome negative thought patterns, strengthen coping skills, rebuild confidence, and help you reconnect with peace and purpose in your life.
My goal is not only to help you manage your struggles, but to empower you to grow, heal, and thrive in every area of your life.
I received my license to practice marriage and family therapy in Texas in 1995. Over the years I've had the opportunity to work successfully with many different types of clients.
I am experienced with mood disorders including depression and bipolar disorder. Anxiety, and adjustment disorders are quite common. We are all products of our family and culture so these issues are discussed in individual and couples counseling sessions.
Because my specialty is marriage and family counseling, I sometimes work with couples or with several family members in the counseling session. If you are seeking marital therapy, then you are already aware of how complex it is to resolve problems to satisfy both of you. I want you to know that it is possible to unravel the issues and resolve them. All that is required is honesty – primarily with yourself – and a bit of work. We have seen many couples return to a peaceful and satisfying marriage.
My counseling style is relaxed, but very direct. I prefer for clients to come to counseling weary of how things are going and prepared to begin changing their life.
I practice solution-oriented and CBT counseling techniques which means that we work hard to ensure you come to as few sessions as possible. Many clients report 6 to 10 sessions are sufficient to provide mastery over the symptoms that brought them to therapy.
Integrity, honesty and decency are keys to success and it is my commitment to bring these characteristics to each session.
I am passionate about helping couples and individuals navigate challenges with clarity, hope, and practical guidance. Drawing on faith and lived experience, I create a space where honesty is met with understanding, and growth is grounded in both heart and purpose. Together, we explore patterns, strengthen connection, and take intentional steps toward healthier relationships and a deeper sense of resilience and meaning in life.
Everyone has a story which impacts their core beliefs about themselves, relationships, life and choices made. I start with your story and want to learn what it has been like to be you in this life. I will help you to identify negative messaging and how those messages impact your life. I will include homework in most sessions to support your ongoing growth.

My journey into mental healthcare is deeply personal and rooted in both lived experience and resilience. I was drawn to this field through many of the challenges I have faced and overcome throughout my own life. One of the most transformative moments in my journey occurred after I acquired a disability, an experience that completely shifted my perspective on healing, vulnerability, and emotional wellness.
My personal experiences allow me to approach therapy with authenticity, compassion, and a deeper level of connection. I strive to create a therapeutic space where clients feel safe enough to be honest, explore their emotions without judgment, and move toward healing at their own pace.
Those experiences ultimately shaped not only my career path, but also the type of therapist I strive to be, which is someone who leads with empathy, values genuine human connection, and understands that healing often begins when people feel supported, empowered, and no longer alone in what they are carrying.

Welcome! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to helping individuals find clarity, healing, and balance through genuine connection and understanding. My approach to therapy is simple yet powerful: I meet you where you are. Every person’s journey is unique, and my role is to create a safe, compassionate space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions freely—without judgment.
In our sessions, you can expect a conversational, down-to-earth style that focuses on building trust and collaboration. I believe that meaningful change happens when you feel truly seen and heard. Together, we’ll work to uncover patterns, strengthen coping skills, and move toward the goals that matter most to you. I often integrate cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies to help you gain practical tools while deepening self-awareness.
I specialize in supporting adults navigating anxiety, stress, burnout, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Whether you’re seeking relief from overwhelming emotions or simply want to reconnect with yourself, therapy can be a powerful step toward growth.
As a first-generation Latina therapist, I value cultural identity, authenticity, and the importance of creating a space that honors all parts of who you are. My hope is for you to leave each session feeling supported, understood, and empowered to take the next step in your healing journey.
You don’t have to go through it alone. I’m here to walk beside you—one conversation at a time.
Starting therapy can feel like a daunting step, but once you connect with a therapist, your healing journey can truly begin. A key component of my approach is establishing rapport with clients, creating a space where they feel comfortable addressing challenging and painful subjects. I believe that the strength of the therapeutic relationship is one of the most crucial elements in helping individuals thrive in therapy and reach their goals.
