Hi, I’m a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S), and I’ve been working with clients for over 10 years who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally exhausted and not sure where to start. I earned my Master’s in Rehabilitation Counseling from Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. I’m also certified as a Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP) and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, stress, relationship struggles, career challenges, and major life transitions, especially when life feels like “too much” on the inside, even if you’re still managing on the outside. My goal is to provide a space where you can slow down, feel understood, and talk honestly without judgment or pressure. Together, we work to understand what’s keeping you stuck and build practical tools to help you feel more grounded, clear, and in control again. I offer therapy in both English and Spanish because feeling understood in your own language matters. Ofrezco terapia en inglés y español porque sentirse comprendido(a) en tu propio idioma es importante.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of experience — and a woman who has navigated midlife, reinvention, and the seasons of life that quietly change you. That lived experience shapes every session I offer. I specialize in working with women who are strong on the outside but exhausted on the inside — women navigating menopause, identity shifts, heartbreak, dating, and the complicated feeling of standing at a crossroads wondering who they are becoming. I'm warm and direct. I'll hold space when you need to be heard and gently challenge you when you're ready to grow. Clients tell me they feel safe being real with me from the very first conversation — and that they leave sessions feeling clearer, lighter, and more like themselves. My approach blends evidence-based therapy with mind-body practices rooted in mindfulness, breathwork, and somatic awareness — because healing lives in the body too, not just the mind. If you've been carrying something alone for too long or simply know that something needs to shift — I'm here. Just come as you are.

Clients shouldn't have to be in therapy forever! Together, we'll co-create a balanced approach combining active listening with practical techniques, helping you reclaim your narrative and overcome obstacles. My clinical and holistic approach aims for deeper alignment and fulfillment—think more water, less soda. As an LCSW, I'm trained in EMDR, certified in Theta Healing, Reiki, Transformational Life Coaching, and Therapeutic Touch, and am a Master Practitioner in Neuro Linguistic Programming, Hypnotherapy, and Time Line Therapy. I provide a compassionate, judgment-free space to explore your wants, needs, and emotions. You know yourself best, and our work is about uncovering your truths rather than imposing mine. Together, we'll determine the tools and approaches that best suit your needs, ensuring you feel heard, validated, and empowered. The goal is to help you confidently manage challenges independently over time. We'll walk side-by-side, with you gradually taking the lead and me offering steady support. If you have pressing concerns, those always take precedence. Our sessions focus on understanding HOW you think, not just WHAT you think, exploring both conscious and unconscious beliefs and emotions. You'll leave with clear, actionable steps, such as mindfulness exercises, creative writing prompts, meditation, and breathwork techniques to regulate emotions and reclaim your narrative. Therapy isn't about fixing what's "broken" but enhancing alignment and fulfillment while overcoming obstacles. By focusing on your goals and measuring progress, we can eliminate stigma, leaving shame behind and empowering you toward greater self-awareness and fulfillment.

Hi! My name is Vyvian Nguyen, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in New Mexico and Texas. My work is grounded in trauma‑informed, culturally responsive care, shaped by years of supporting people across the lifespan as they navigate what life has been brewing. Serving in the U.S. Navy as a Master‑at‑Arms has helped me understand service members, veterans, and their families whether it’s the tension that builds from deployments, the stress of switching between civilian and military life, or the pressure to keep everything together. It also taught me the importance of having a space where you don’t have to be “on” all the time. As a Vietnamese American with parents who came to the U.S. as refugees after the Vietnam War part of the generation often referred to as “boat people” I grew up with a close view of cultural transitions, intergenerational patterns, and the strength it takes to rebuild in a new place. That perspective helps me support families who are newly arriving or adjusting to a new country with understanding and respect. Tea Time Therapy grew from the idea that growth doesn’t need to be rushed. Like a good cup of tea, it often needs warmth, time, and a space that feels steady enough to settle into. My style is warm, straightforward, and lightly humorous enough to ease tension without taking away from the work. You don’t need perfect words or a polished story. You just need a grounded space to slow down, breathe, and explore what’s been weighing on you at your own pace. We’ll take it one sip at a time.

Most people who reach out to me are tired. Tired of holding it together, tired of explaining themselves, tired of feeling like the version of them that shows up to work or family dinner isn't the real one. If that sounds familiar, you're in the right place. I'm a licensed professional counselor working with adults across Texas and Colorado on anxiety, depression, stress and burnout, relationship strain, life transitions, and the old stuff that keeps resurfacing at inconvenient moments. You don't need to have it organized before you get here, and you don't need a diagnosis or a crisis to deserve support. We'll figure out together what's actually going on and where to start.

I work with adults who are experiencing trauma, OCD, anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship frustrations. I offer a warm, welcoming environment for clients and I am neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ supporting. I firmly believe that our society has systemic oppression baked in and I aim to practice cultural humility in my work. As a licensed therapist and supervisor with fifteen years of experience working across a variety of settings, my understanding of how complex and layered each person’s story can be has been shaped by everyone I've come across. My approach is trauma informed, collaborative, and grounded in respect for autonomy and lived experience. I aim to create a space where you feel safe and valued. Judgment from a therapist is a common concern and while I might challenge certain narratives or beliefs, I draw my responses from a place of curiosity. I find it important to stay up to date on the science of how the brain works and the studies that guide our psychological understanding. Quite a few people come to me and filter themselves somehow. For example, I hear people say, "...I know that sounds crazy" or they apologize for cursing in a session. I want therapy to be a place where you can show up as you are. I am difficult to offend and I am not listening to your words so I can judge how your brain says things to you or how you say things to me. The important thing is for you to just say it and we will glean whatever helpful data we can. Please note: I am unable to prescribe medication, assess for ADHD/ADD, or write ESA letters. Many times, a psychiatrist can help with these pieces. Although this platform offers AI options, I will not ever utilize AI for your care.

My goal is to help you gain clarity and direction so you can reach your full potential and reconnect with your purpose. Regardless of your past fears, setbacks, or self-doubt, change is always possible. I use Cognitive-Behavioral, DBT-informed, and interpersonal treatment approaches to tailor each session to your individual needs. I also administer screening tools as needed, to help better identify symptoms related to depression and anxiety. Together, we’ll build coping strategies that work for you, incorporating techniques such as poetry, music, art, movement, and writing according to your interest and needs. I’ll support you in identifying and working through negative, self-defeating thoughts and patterns that may be holding you back. In a safe, nonjudgmental space, we’ll work through challenges, strengthen self-compassion, and help you move forward with greater confidence and intention. For couples struggling, I help to identify root issues that negatively impact your relationship and incorporate evidenced-based resources to start the process of change in a practical healthy way.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, and ongoing life stress. I believe therapy should feel steady and purposeful — a place where you can speak honestly about what’s heavy while also making meaningful progress. My style is calm, grounded, and direct. I listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, and help you recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Together, we explore both where those patterns began and how they’re affecting your relationships, work, and sense of self today. I integrate EMDR, CBT, and ACT to address the root of distress while also building practical skills for emotional regulation and clearer decision-making. I value depth, but I also value structure — therapy should not feel aimless. I tend to work well with people who hold a lot together for others yet quietly carry internal stress, self-doubt, or unresolved experiences. I believe you don’t have to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. When someone is ready to look beneath the surface, not just manage symptoms but understand and shift what’s underneath, that’s where meaningful change begins.

Krystal Whipple, LCSW I believe therapy should be a place where you feel safe, supported, and genuinely heard. Everyone's journey is different, which is why I take a client-centered approach, tailoring each session to your unique experiences, goals, and needs. My goal is to provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental environment where you can explore life's challenges, gain insight, and build the skills needed to create meaningful change. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with both Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Social Work, I work with adults facing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, stress, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by everyday stressors or working through deeper emotional pain, you don't have to navigate it alone. Together, we'll identify practical strategies and coping skills that support healing, resilience, and personal growth. I have also completed specialized grief training through David Kessler, equipping me with additional tools to help individuals process loss and navigate the complex emotions that accompany grief. I understand that grief looks different for everyone, and I strive to create a supportive space where you can honor your experiences, find hope, and heal at your own pace. I believe that lasting change comes from recognizing your strengths while developing new ways to overcome life's challenges. My role is to walk alongside you, offering guidance, encouragement, and evidence-based interventions that empower you to move toward the life you want. Seeking support is a courageous first step, and you don't have to face life's challenges alone. I look forward to helping you build greater emotional well-being, strengthen your resilience, and create a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Frequently asked questions

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in Texas. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Texas from Houston to Austin! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Texas.

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need. For example, your selected specialty, Trauma and PTSD, is filtering therapists in Texas that work with patients with similar concerns.

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
