Hi! I'm Melissa, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. I received my Masters from the University of Texas Pan-American and have been practicing for over 8 years now. I help adults and teens struggling with life changes, anxiety, self-harming, stressors and depression become the best versions of themselves. I believe strongly that therapy in itself can foster an individuals drive to life and goals by providing you the space to openly express and develop the mindset and skills to enhance your strengths and reach those goals.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor with years of experience, I’ve helped individuals navigate a wide range of mental health challenges—and I believe real, lasting progress is always possible. What sets my approach apart is the understanding that no two people are the same. Your thoughts, experiences, and emotional world are uniquely yours—so the support you receive should be, too. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. Instead, I create a safe, supportive space where your individuality is honored and your voice is truly heard. Together, we’ll build a strong, trusting relationship that empowers you to uncover your strengths, gain clarity, and take meaningful steps toward mental wellness. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for change, you don't have to walk this path alone. Let’s turn what feels impossible into real, positive change—one step at a time. Let’s take this journey together. Your breakthrough begins now.

Treat others the way you want to be treated is the motto I live by. I want to be treated kindly, I want to be heard and I want to feel I matter. This is how I will treat you, without strings or hesitation. I have a story just as you do. I have been lucky to choose a career that has enabled me to know when I need to talk to someone, enabled me to learn and use coping skills that work and has also enabled me to see the beauty through the broken pieces. Growing up I was a nosey child, I always wanted to know the "why", I still do! This personality trait led me on a path where I have been able to meet people from all walks of life, people who seemingly burned every bridge walked over, people with no hope as well as people who just were going through a rough patch. All these individuals have helped me become the person and the therapist I am today. I am truly excited to hear people’s story, restore faith and be the constant in people’s lives. Give me a chance to hear your story, you are not alone!

Hello there, I'm Liz! I work with clients who are wanting to heal from past trauma experiences and get to the root causes of their struggles.

Hey there! I’m really proud of you for being here. Choosing yourself isn’t always easy, especially when you’re used to pushing through, holding it together, and being the strong one—but it’s so worth it. I’m Dana, a Licensed Clinical Therapist, full-time travel medical social worker, and the founder of Healing Convos. Outside of therapy, I’m navigating real life just like you, balancing work, family, responsibilities, and all the roles we’re expected to play. Being on the move as a travel medical social worker has shown me just how common burnout, emotional exhaustion, and feeling “stuck” really are, especially for people who are constantly pouring into others. As a millennial therapist, I understand how exhausting it can feel trying to keep up with hustle culture, societal expectations, and the pressure to always be “on.” Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or unsure of who they are outside of their responsibilities. Whether it’s navigating toxic work environments, relationship or friendship breakups, family dynamics, or simply feeling lost in adulthood, you’re not alone. I offer part-time therapy for individuals who are ready to slow down, check in with themselves, and build healthier ways to cope, heal, and move forward—without judgment and at your own pace. Therapy with me isn’t about perfection; it’s self-awareness and learning how to show up for yourself in a way that feels sustainable. I created Healing Convos to give Millennials and Gen Zer's, especially men and women of color, a safe space to explore these challenges, find their voice, and reconnect with their values. If you’re ready to stop chasing and start living a life that feels intentional, peaceful, and aligned with who you truly are, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

Hello! I am a licensed clinical social worker serving individuals in ILLINOIS, TEXAS, and SOUTH CAROLINA. For several years, I have been in private practice, assisting both children and adults facing difficulties related to depression and anxiety, as well as supporting individuals who are experiencing losses. I have also worked as a hospice social worker, where I provided support and education to families navigating the end-of-life process, helping them prepare to say goodbye to their loved ones. My background also includes working with families who have experienced trauma related to abuse, neglect, family dysfunction/conflict, and legal challenges. I have experience and knowledge of the education system, having worked in the public school system. I understand assessments and evaluations for students struggling academically, developed Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), and offered social-emotional education and individual support for students dealing with issues such as peer relationships, bullying, anger, anxiety, and other challenges that can affect their learning and growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a key element of my therapeutic approach. This evidence-based method equips clients with tailored tools and strategies. Together, we will identify triggers and explore ways to alleviate the physical and emotional symptoms you may be experiencing. Having been raised in a military family and lived in various states, I have gained unique insights into community, culture, and the importance of building new relationships.

I am a licensed independent practice-level clinical social worker. I have a Diplomate in Clinical Social Work DCSW. I have dedicated my career to working in behavioral health treatment.

My strongest ability lies in helping a client identify strengths and weaknesses while guiding them to identify goals and interventions that will work specifically for them. The most challenging part of therapy is believing it will make a difference. The best way to overcome that hurdle is to see successful outcomes. Clinical experience has taught me that if you are willing to do the work, you will see results. Using the appropriate interventions, combined with mutual openness, respect and trust will enable you to overcome obstacles and achieve goals you didn't believe possible. Through years of dedicated work with all age groups, life experiences and extremely challenging circumstances, I have developed a strong sense of commitment in creating a safe and supportive environment that fosters healing, self-awareness and growth.

I work with clients who want to improve the way they experience life. The desire for better relationships with themselves and with others, and to gain a sense of purpose and meaning.

I use a number of therapeutic modalities in my practice, which connect thoughts to feelings and feelings to thoughts, enabling my clients to change and grow in the positive direction that they might envision for themselves. I work with clients who have struggled with addiction, anger, anxiety, depression, relationship separation, internal conflict and conflict with others, grief and loss, and other transitions and adjustment issues. I have completed Gottman trainings, as well as Emotion-Focused Therapy, which offers a structured approach and an emotional map for couples or individuals to learn how successful couples make their relationships last and how to handle conflict in a way that prevents damage to the relationship and helps them feel better connected to their partner. I am also trained in EMDR, a therapy designed to help a person unlock their nervous system to recover from trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, and other problems that can take hold.

My work is shaped by personal and professional life experiences, and I understand that we all need support at different points in our journey. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and a Mindfulness-Based Approach to help females navigating anxiety, depression, grief, self-confidence, trauma, and women’s issues.

Hello! My name is Ungria Castillo and I look forward to working together and supporting you as we talk through what brings you here. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas My hope is to create a space where you feel heard and seen and where you can openly share your about yourself. I understand how overwhelming certain emotions or situations can be or how discouraging it can be to feel stuck. After I get to know more about what brings you to counseling and about you, we will be exploring what your priorities are and creating a plan that focuses on the goals that you would want to accomplish. I hope to aid you in thinking on solutions from a different perspective and providing you with additional skills and tools that fit your personality and address what you share with me. My education and knowledge are in modalities that help you access different resources, highlight personal strengths and address those big feelings that are getting in the way of feeling fulfilled or living out your purpose. I am happy to come alongside you as you take this important step. You have already overcome so much and I am so glad you are here. This can be the beginning of writing a great new chapter of your life.
