I believe that compassion and self-love are powerful tools that allow us to overcome life’s challenges and mental health struggles. By fostering a nonjudgmental and understanding environment, we can acknowledge that perfection is not the goal—growth is. Each person is unique, processing experiences in their own way and at their own pace. Through patience, collaboration, and consistency, we can achieve meaningful goals and build resilience together. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, my purpose is to help others just as I was once helped. My personal journey—marked by life experiences, challenges, and both right and wrong choices—has guided me toward the most rewarding profession: supporting others in their healing.
It would be an honor to walk alongside you on your healing journey and to help you discover your strength, resilience, and potential for growth.

Hi, I specialize in supporting individuals who are ready to invest in their mental, emotional, and physical well-being. My practice is built on the belief that healing happens when we care for the whole person, mind, body, and spirit, and create space for people to reconnect with themselves in meaningful ways. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, life transitions, or relationship challenges, I’m here to provide a safe, supportive, and collaborative environment where you can grow and heal at your own pace.
I’m a licensed therapist, clinical supervisor, and the proud owner of Sunshine Holistic Health. With two Ivy League degrees — an M.Phil. in Professional Counseling and an M.S.Ed. in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Pennsylvania — I bring both extensive clinical expertise and a compassionate, holistic approach to the work I do.
In addition to individual therapy, I offer couples and family therapy.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who uses a combination of traditional sensibilities with a modern-day understanding of how to reach the older and younger demographic. I aspire to utilize life experiences of an individual to help them and myself understand their present-day thought process and identify how their thoughts are impacting their emotions, which is possibly influencing their behavior. In some instances, it’s a behavior the individual wants to change.
My name is Richard Spires, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in individual, couples, marriage, and family therapy. I help clients navigate challenges such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, relationship concerns, grief, and adolescent issues.
I use a range of evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). My goal is to create a collaborative and supportive space where we can work together toward meaningful change.
I earned my Master’s degree in Professional Counseling from Grand Canyon University in 2018 and have worked as a mental health professional for over six years. I strongly believe in the power of the therapeutic alliance—that counseling works best when it’s a true partnership.
Having experienced therapy myself, I understand how important it is to feel heard and understood. I take time to get to know each client and approach every session with empathy, curiosity, and genuine care. Whenever you’re ready to talk, I’m ready to listen.

I primarily utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Narrative Therapy to help clients develop practical coping skills, gain insight into patterns that may be contributing to distress, and build on their strengths to create meaningful and lasting change. I provide virtual therapy services in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients can feel heard, understood, and empowered to achieve their goals.
Since the days of pigtails, I’ve been pulled by this strong force to access wisdom and connect with something higher than this tangible world. This gnawing passion has led me to study the power of the mind and how to create what our souls truly desire.
I’ve been blessed to study ancient technologies such as yoga and breathwork and am so passionate about sharing simple tools to effect real change.
I was trained in counseling at University of North Texas, receiving my Masters in Education. My favorite courses were transpersonal counseling and stress reduction through movement. I am currently a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas and have currently been practicing for 7 years.
I’m also a certified yoga teacher and trained at the Shri Kali ashram in India. The types of yoga I teach focus on activating the parasympathetic nervous system to release the whole self from the ever vigilant fight or flight mode a lot of us find ourselves in on a constant basis to survive in this modern culture.
In the therapy session, my main intent is to be fully present with you, free of judgment; to Become a spacious environment in which you can explore your own truth and start to shed the layers that no longer serve.

Hello! I'm thrilled you're taking the brave step toward seeking support. My name is Brittany Gomola, and I bring a diverse and extensive range of experience to my counseling practice.
I completed my clinical training in the New Jersey, gaining valuable experience in a variety of challenging and rewarding settings. My foundational clinical internships were completed at both a community mental health facility and a child and family center in inner-city Trenton, where I developed a deep understanding of complex family dynamics and community-based care.
My commitment to helping individuals navigate life's challenges is broad. Since relocating to the Houston area, I have dedicated time to supporting clients through recovery as a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC) at a substance abuse recovery center.
Furthermore, I currently serve as a Special Education Teacher and hold a specialization as a Clinical Autism Specialist. This dual role has equipped me with unique skills in behavioral support, individualized planning, and effective communication across various developmental needs.
I believe in lifelong learning and continually enhancing my expertise to best serve my clients. I am currently deepening my professional focus by furthering my training in perinatal counseling. This specialization will allow me to offer sensitive and informed support to individuals and families navigating the emotional and psychological journey of pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood.
Whether you are seeking support for substance use, family challenges, specialized care related to autism, or the unique struggles of the perinatal period, I am here to offer a collaborative, compassionate, and informed therapeutic space.
I look forward to connecting with you.
My name is Aleida Chavez, LCSW-S, LCCA, CART, and I am glad you are here. Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and emotionally healthy life requires courage. Reaching out for support is not always easy, and I commend you for choosing to invest in yourself and your well-being.
I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Social Worker-Supervisor in Texas and Certified Anger Resolution Therapist with over 11 years of professional mental health experience and more than 20 years of combined experience in medical and mental health case management, training, and education. I have extensive experience helping individuals navigate depression, anxiety, stress, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, addiction, anger management, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and other mental health challenges.
My priority is creating a safe, welcoming, and nonjudgmental environment where you feel heard, respected, and supported. I approach therapy with empathy, authenticity, cultural humility, and respect for the unique experiences each person brings into the therapeutic relationship.
I believe you are the expert on your lived experience. My role is to provide clinical knowledge, support, perspective, and therapeutic tools that can help you better understand yourself and work toward meaningful change.
I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. Treatment is tailored to your individual needs, strengths, values, culture, experiences, and goals. Together, we can explore difficult emotions, identify patterns, strengthen coping skills, and work toward greater emotional well-being and personal growth. I look forward to getting to know you and supporting you on your journey.
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.

Hello! I am Jessica Rombs, licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I have over 19 years of experience working with children, adolescents, young adults, and families in various aspects of their lives. I have experience in both medical social work and school social work, in which I work closely with individuals struggling with mental health and life challenges. I value empathy and strive to improve the lives of my clients by helping to reduce daily struggles through the development of coping skills and support to help manage everyday demands. My goal as a therapist, is to assist and support individual and diverse needs by drawing from strength-based therapeutic approaches and techniques such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Strengths Perspective and Psychoeducation. Together, we can unveil your hidden strengths and start your journey of healing and transformation.
Welcome! I'm so glad you're here. As a Licensed Professional Counselor trained in CBT and EMDR, I help individuals navigate trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, women's issues, and life's many transitions.

My goal is not simply symptom relief, but empowerment — so you can better understand yourself, respond rather than react, and move forward with confidence and clarity.

My name is Vincent Egbuchulam, and I am a licensed professional counselor with over five years of experience in the mental health field. 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.

CBT involves helping clients learn and practice new skills, develop healthier thinking patterns, and adopt more effective coping strategies.

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.

It's important for therapists to be, first and foremost, real human beings in relation to clients. I know how to be a therapist. You know how to be you. I try to bring understanding and, when appropriate, humor into my work with people. Therapy is where you can try on different parts of yourself in a non-judgemental environment. What happens in session can reflect what you experience in your everday life. This provides you with perspective to live a more fufilling life. I work remotely, but find that this is not a barrier to real connection.
