My initial training as a therapist was in premarital and marriage counseling, a vital part of my practice that I continue to enjoy to this day. I have approximately 20 years of experience and am licensed as a counselor and supervisor of interns. In addition to counseling couples and trauma survivors, I also work with persons coming out of the sex industry. I have experience working with major depressive disorders, bipolar I & II, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorders, and personality disorders. I am well-versed and extremely comfortable working with people of different cultures. I utilize a trauma-informed, person-centered, psychodynamic approach in therapy and often incorporate CBT, DBT and mindfulness techniques. I am a certified revisioning practitioner, a technique that simulates re-attachment for grief resolution and ego-integration. My certification through the FBI National Academy in resiliency allows me to train local police departments throughout the Metroplex in critical incident and mental health orientation trainings. I truly consider it an honor and a privilege to partner with you in your journey towards wholeness. No one should live a life full of shame, rejection, regret, or guilt. I strive to provide a safe and nurturing environment where you can explore and live your life in the renewed freedoms you are intended to have, with fullness and in joy. There is a plan and a purpose for your life, full of unique strengths and talents. My goal is to help you become all that you were created to be. Together we will access your own inner wisdom in moving towards your true identity.

My name is Tim Whistine. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) serving clients via teletherapy in the States of Louisiana (Lic# 6304) and Texas (Lic #87356). I have a combined 10+ years of clinical experience working with Court Systems, Private Clinics, and in a 100-bed Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility (PRTF). I utilize referrals at such times when my professional competencies have been exhausted or are not adequate pertaining to the needed treatment. Because my Graduate program was in Marriage & Family Therapy (MFT), I love working with people in relationships experiencing difficulties and who are passionate about finding ways to improve their interactions or relational dynamics such as listening, communicating, intimacy, repairing trust, or other relational damage resulting from infidelity, etc. Life gives us hurt and pain. God offers us healing. I believe counseling to be one of the ways God enables us to seize the moment in front of us, not running from it, but facing it head-on with commitment and purpose. Let me join with you on your journey toward wholeness and restoration.

Hi there! I'm Todd. Do you feel stuck in life? Frozen with indecision? Crushed by emotions you'd rather not have? I can help with that. I may be a licensed expert in multiple matters of mental health, but I believe that there is no greater expert about you than you. I believe that therapy is a collaborative effort. We will identify concerns that you have, figure out what hasn't worked in the past and what has, and then add additional tools to the mix to create the best possible outcome. We will work with the mind, body, and spirit and strive to restore balance to all.

I am an enthusiastic Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Life Coach!! When human beings experience trauma or severe life stressors, it is not uncommon for their lives to unravel. My great passion is bringing healing to people who have been through a traumatic/stressful experience. I am driven to “unlocking limiting beliefs” to those in distress or in need of guidance. I help my clients, which include children, young adults, couples and families, to find healthy perceptions of themselves and strengthen their relationships so they can know themselves as peaceful, complete, whole, and secure. I know that no single approach is the right one for every individual, and so I have spent many years enhancing my knowledge and skills in a range of modalities such as Gestalt Play Therapy, Solutions Focused Therapy, The Gottman Method for Couples Therapy as well as a somatic approach in Reality Therapy. My educational background includes an MA in Marriage and Family Therapy from Northcentral University and a Certification as a Life Coach from New Skills Academy. I have a B.A. in Psychology from Angelo State University and a Certification in Reality Therapy. From a heart of encouragement, it is my desire to help initiate perspective shifts by utilizing strategic, inspirational, and creative approaches.

Have you ever wondered, “What is wrong with me?” If your mirror can talk back to you, what would it say? What good things or bad things will it tell you and how would you respond? I will be the mirror that will help you learn more about yourself and will give you an honest reflection so that you can make the best decisions for yourself. I tailor my counseling approach based on your specific needs and goals. I combine a person-centered counseling approach with brief solution-focused therapy to give you the best outcome, respecting your time and money. I have a master’s in counseling with a dual emphasis on both School Counseling and Agency Counseling. I have over 16 years of counseling experience with all age groups, diverse populations, and subject matter. With my many years of experience working in schools, hospitals, and the community, there is very little I haven’t seen. You don’t have to do life alone. Bring me your challenges, your struggles, and your troubles, and let’s work together to resolve them. I also provide Christian counseling: God never promised us a life free from struggles, pain, or sorrows (John 16.33); however, He did promise that He will never leave us (Matthew 28.20). Life is not meant to be lived alone: It’s not a good thing (Genesis 2.18). I am here to support you and to remind you that you are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalms 139.13-14), and you are loved (John 3.16). Nothing is impossible with God (Matthew 19.26). Whatever you are struggling with, whatever troubles you, know that God has a purpose for your life (Romans 8.28). As a Christian counselor, you can trust that my counseling approach will not stray from the teaching of the Bible. May God guide us as we work together to understand His purpose and His plan for the challenges in your life.

Hello, I am Shari. Are you looking for someone you can feel safe to address your needs and not feel judged? Are you looking for someone authentic and supportive? Are you having difficulty finding someone who will be honest and direct? I work well with anyone who is motivated to start addressing their concerns right away. I believe finding the right therapist can be challenging, but it should not be a barrier to getting help. Finding a therapist should feel comfortable and natural. I am told I have a way of helping people feel as if they have known me before. I like to get an understanding of the source of your problem. Then together we explore how the source influences your thinking. People live life through their experiences which do not always serve us very well in today's time. I also believe in working from a holistic approach. Did you know our daily routines can prolong your recovery or cause mental instability? I have experienced being in a therapeutic relationship and believe in normalizing the need to get help in this way.

Hello, I am Dr. Walter Calvo and I have two questions for you. Are you interested in learning why you think and feel the way you do? How about learning why you choose to do the things that you do? I can help you learn coping skills to address common life challenges such as adjusting to change, managing conflict, reducing stress, improving relationships, and coping with grief. Equally important, I can help you process your emotional responses to distressing life circumstances. I also provide psychotherapy to address acute trauma, post-traumatic stress, anxiety and depression. My experience in this area comes from working with active-duty military, veterans, and first responders such as law enforcement, firefighters, emergency medical responders and their families. Gaining insight into why you think and feel the way you do is empowering. It will put you on a path to becoming the best version of yourself. If you are interested in any of that, let's talk!

I empower couples and individuals to overcome personal and relational obstacles to help improve themselves and strengthen the couple's dynamic. I have worked with individuals, couples, and families in human services and counseling for eight years using clinically tested and evidence-based therapeutic models and interventions. As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I am trained in psychotherapy and view therapy from a systemic point of view, meaning that I believe the quality of our relationships, being family, friends, romantic partners, etc. plays a significant role in the quality of our lives. Marriage and family therapists broaden the traditional emphasis on the individual to attend to the nature and role of individuals in primary relationship networks such as marriage and the family. As a therapist, I take a holistic perspective on health care; I am concerned with the overall, long-term well-being of individuals, couples, and families. I have a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from St. Mary’s University and a bachelor's in Sociology from the University of Texas at San Antonio. I offer relationship counseling and individual counseling for family and relationship issues.

“When life gives you lemons, make lemonade” is a metaphor used to encourage optimism and a positive can-do attitude in the face of adversity. Lemons represent adversity or difficulty in life and making lemonade is turning those difficulties into something sweet or positive. It is estimated that 1 in 4 people will experience a mental health disorder at one point in their lives. Consequently, nearly two-thirds of those people living with a mental disorder never seek help from a health professional. Reaching out for help, demonstrates strength and courage and a willingness to persevere! Stacy Reynolds strives to bring an integrated approach, within her experience, expertise, clarity, goal - setting, and has the knowledge and tools necessary to effectively navigate difficult life issues.

I will place a high emphasis on building a strong rapport with you and making therapy more like a relaxed conversation. There is no need to feel ashamed or timid about sharing your experiences, as you did not come to me to be judged, you came to me for help, and that is what I am here to offer.

Counseling is a process that most of us could benefit from time to time at different stages in life, as it brings an outsider's perspective to events, we are faced with in day-to-day life in a nonjudgmental way.

Hello! My name is Guadalupe Flores, I am a Catholic Licensed Professional Counselor who has experience working with diverse populations afflicted by a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, anger, trauma, and many other emotional problems that may be hard to label but interfere with your quality of life. My approach to therapy entails collaborating with you as an individual and working together to uncover both subconscious and overt blocks of pain and burden to help you navigate towards the root of the issues you’re experiencing. During our sessions, you are in control – we will only go as far as you are willing to. However, as your therapist, it will be my duty to carefully prod and inquire in certain instances to help you in your healing process. This may sound uncomfortable, even scary, but I hope you learn how discomfort may bring changes to your emotional stability, general happiness, and overall mental state. Let’s take a moment and reflect on how long you’ve been carrying this pain or burden that only you are aware of?... 3 months? 6? A year, ten? Perhaps so long that you struggle to remember who you are without it? Still, if you have come this far to searching for a therapist then there is a part of you that is conscious of a living experience absent of these burdens: it is that same part that believes and hopes on that version of you. Consider then listening to that inner voice that is yearning to be known. ¡Hola! Mi nombre es Guadalupe Flores, soy una consejera licenciada profesional católica con experiencia trabajando con varios casos. En el pasado he trabajado con personas que sufren de depresión, ansiedad, enojo/coraje, traumas y todas esas cosas que no sabemos ni como llamarlas, pero se meten en nuestras vidas prohibiendo poder disfrutar de la vida en paz. Mi estilo de dar terapia consiste en trabajar contigo como individuo y juntos empezar por quitar esos ladrillos por afuera de dolor y agotamiento y ayudarte navegar hasta llegar al problema principal. En nuestras sesiones tu estas en control y solo navegaremos cuan tan profundo ellas quieran ir. Aunque, como tu terapista es mi deber cuidadosamente influir a esas partes que probablemente te detienen ocasiones para ir a lo profundo para que puedan empezar a sanar. Se que pueda sonar algo miedoso, pero puede ser más miedoso si no lo haces. ¿Considera esto…toma un segundo y refleja cuanto tiempo llevas cargando este dolor? 3 meses? 6? ¿Un ano…10…o parece tanto tiempo que ni reconoces quién eres es realidad? Para este tiempo probablemente ya te diste cuenta del resultado si sigues haciendo lo mismo que has hecho hasta hoy…porque no consideras entonces escuchar a esa parte de ti mismo quien está deseoso por ser conocido.

Do you feel weighed down by anxiety, depression or trauma? As a skillful mindfulness therapist, I have been helping people feel more balance for years. In addition, I have helped many feel less trapped by their trauma and the negative thoughts about themselves using EMDR. Change is not easy sometimes and we will go through it with love towards self. It is our self-doubt and often our lack of confidence in our basic goodness that hinders our progress. I have helped many find the self-compassion needed for self-healing and with that a much more mindful approach to life. I have been down the road of mental health challenges. There are many ways I used therapy technics and mindfulness practice to help develop a much more balanced self. I am confident I can help you find the richness in life that you deserve.

Hi I am Brittany currently practicing in Texas. I graduated with my Masters in Counseling Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology in 2019. I have previously worked in residential, IOP, and corrections. I have experience working with individuals, couples, families, and minors who are struggling with issues such as depression, stress, anxiety, trauma responses, sexual concerns, and relationship issues. Do you have changes you wish to make to improve overall mental and emotional health? Beginning therapy can be a challenging first step to making desired changes in life. My goal is to help you learn lifelong coping skills that are necessary for making these desired changes. Exploring thoughts and feelings, practicing self-reflection, gaining greater self-acceptance, and learning ways to improve communication are some techniques I incorporate into therapy. I utilize a combination of collaborative and integrative therapy to aid you on your journey of self-healing, changed behaviors, and personal growth. Together we can find and create balance. I work hard to make sure that you feel safe and supported during this journey. If you feel like we may be a good fit, please do not hesitate to reach out. Asking for help may be the hardest part but the only way out is through. I would be happy to answer any questions you may have and look forward to being a part of your journey.
