Hi! I'm Tori Volanski. I'm so glad you're here and that you've taken the first step towards getting support. Maybe you aren't quite sure how to focus on what matters or even find the motivation to figure it out. You want to feel better but you aren't even sure what feels wrong. You want to find more ways to connect with those important to you, lean into the joys that life has to offer and embrace new challenges. I've been there too, many times and I'm here to support you on your journey. I connect well with adults and adolescents who are exploring their identities and learning to embrace their values. I practice from a person-centered approach which means that getting to know you, your personal experiences, and what feels most important to you right now is what will guide our work together. I'm here to help connect the dots but you decide what the bigger picture is. I look forward to learning more about you and providing a place for you to be your most authentic self. Please schedule a consultation if you have any questions.

Do you want to live your best life? Are you struggling to find your purpose in life or just get your life back on track? Sometimes in life we can feel stuck, and need someone to provide us with the tools we need to get our lives back on track. My name is Carrie, and I am very passionate about helping people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma, phase of life problems, women's issues, or grief. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the great state of Texas. I have many years of experience and extensive knowledge in the mental health arena, along with my education. This allows me to connect and build rapport quickly with patients, and begin the healing process. Therapy is a collaborative partnership where we work together to determine your goals. I am passionate about helping people by giving them the tools needed overcome obstacles. Let me help you to find your path to your personal happiness!

If you are looking to make a change, I am happy to help! Are you struggling with life stress, depression, anxiety or trauma? I am trained in Cognitive Processing therapy for trauma, as well as Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Brief Solution Focused therapy and I am certified in Nutrition for Mental Health. We will use a holistic approach to address whole person needs; your mind, body and spirit. Seeking therapy can feel scary but we will work together to identify your goals and needs, and the tools to help you get where you want to be.

Just because you carry your grief doesn’t mean it’s not heavy. Grief can be lonely; overwhelming sadness, feeling numb, guilt, anger, avoidance, or burnout can make you feel disconnected from others and change your perception of yourself and the world around you. With the right help, you can feel better, find meaning in your life, and see beauty in the world again. I have 19 years of experience in grief counseling, navigating life transitions, treating mental illness, end of life issues, and providing trauma-informed care to adults struggling with grief and loss, life-limiting illness, caregiver fatigue, and depression. Please note I provide online therapy only at this time.

Hi! I'm Christal. Feeling like you are stuck? Feeling lost, isolated? Overwhelmed? Racing thoughts? Not sure about the next steps? Difficulty in articulating how you really feel? Life threw you a curve ball and you are in a tailspin? My heart's desire is to provide you with a safe space to express your thoughts and feelings, gain clarity, feel heard, and be supported. I'm a clinical therapist who works with teens and adults who have ongoing challenges with depression, anxiety, trauma, phase-of-life transitions, caregiving, and work-related stressors. With 28 years of clinical experience, my goal is to start encouraging you to see healing and transformation.

You have many choices when it comes to picking a counselor/therapist, but what is the most important thing to consider when choosing? Does the person appear to be kind? Do they have the qualifications to serve you? Does he/she make you feel comfortable and ease the anxiety you might be feeling regarding sharing such personal information so quickly? How does the office environment feel (telehealth or in the office)? More importantly, how quickly do you feel your exact problem is being addressed?

I think we can all agree that life can get messy and overwhelming. Whether it's relationships, career, health or all three at one time. I provide support for those looking to make a change. I believe you are the expert on your own complex experiences and would be honored to collaborate with you on the road forward. "Each of us has the right and responsibility to assess the roads which lie ahead and those over which we have traveled, and if the future road looms ominous or unpromising and the road back uninviting then we need to gather our resolve and carry only the necessary baggage into another direction"- Maya Angelou

Hi, I'm Shonda! Do you feel overwhelmed, confused, or simply exhausted due to the demands of life and relationships with family, friends and/or colleagues? Are you engaging in negative self-talk and are very critical of yourself and others and do not have self compassion? Or do you have difficulty asserting your needs from others only to feel resentful and taken advantage of when you don't speak up? If so, I can assist you on your healing journey to improve your relationship with yourself and others. I help teens, adults and couples identify what ways of thinking/reacting are not serving them and ways to modify thinking/reacting in an effort to improve relationships with others and the self. Together, we can assess adverse life experiences that have contributed to how you respond to life in ineffective ways. We will also uncover unhealthy core beliefs that stem from adverse experiences so that we can increase your ability to understand yourself deeper and make the necessary mental/behavioral changes from this updated awareness. Finding a compatible therapist is essential, the relationship with your mental health provider is a very important factor. I am considered by many of my clients very relatable and personable as I am human first and have dealt with some of the same issues as you. I have found that I work best with clients who have good people skills and are self starters. You deserve a safe space to heal, learn, and grow. Let's begin your healing journey!
