Hi there! I'm Rachel! Are you struggling to navigate everything life is throwing at you in the increasingly hectic world? I love exploring deep down the funnel of emotions with my clients using DBT, Person-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral strategies. Together we can tackle your anxiety, depression and the relational issues that come into play that keep you from being your ideal self, whether that be in your relationships, your family, your career, or another important area of your life.
If you are fighting feelings of depression and anxiety, and struggling with self-compassion, I'd love to walk with you as you work to heal. In our sessions, we will explore who you are and what matters to you. We will tackle thought patterns that aren't serving you and work on new ways to interact with your thoughts and feelings that serve you more effectively.
I offer a safe space for my clients to process what circumstances brought them to where they are at, and the gentle push to move forward. I love bringing self-compassion and mindfulness practices to sessions.
I can imagine you are exhausted. From whatever pain has brought you here, I know that you wouldn't wish it on anyone else. I know you are probably so much more kind to others than you are to you. I want us to work on changing that. If you're ready, I am too!

I’m passionate about many things surrounding the health and well-being of all genders. Along with mental health, I am passionate about maternal health, family and relationship dynamics, and hold a strong focus surrounding the multicultural context and how that has shaped who you are and how you respond to the stress and conflict in life. I have decades of experience in mental health and utilize a trauma-informed approach to help you along your journey.
As a bi-cultural therapist whose journey to have children was as unique as my child is, I see the therapeutic process through a unique lens which helps me understand your journey and create a treatment plan specifically tailored to who you are and what you have experienced. My individualized approach is driven by a desire to help each client on their journey. My certifications have shaped the way I do therapy to help each client create a corrective emotional and relational experience. Through my trauma-focused lens I can help you heal and help you navigate the myriad of life transitions that can happen to an adult; be it graduating college, preparing for first-time motherhood, dealing with past traumas or childhood wounds, starting a new job, buying a new home, losing or gaining relationships, exploring your gender, sexuality or culture just to name a few.
Together, we will work on strategies that allow you to discover the root causes of your struggles and find healthier solutions and meaningful connections. If we sound like a good fit let's connect!

Sometimes we encounter challenging life obstacles and can find ourselves feeling distressed, isolated, or stuck in unhealthy patterns. When these difficulties arise, we may bravely reach out for support and guidance from a counselor. I consider it a privilege to partner with my clients as they deepen self-awareness, achieve new insight, and work toward building the life they desire for themselves. I believe therapy should be about you and what's most important to you. I form a therapeutic alliance with my clients in which we work together on the issues that matter most to them.

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.

Doing the same thing and expecting different results...the definition of insanity! Many have tried therapy in the past only to see a lack of results, or worse, feel unheard and misunderstood. I pride myself on breaking the mold of your preconceived opinion of therapists and accompanying you on your journey of healing. It is easy to find ourselves feeling stuck in life, and before we know it we have spent far too long spinning tires. I am confident in our ability to work collaboratively towards accomplishing your goals.
Being a US Army veteran, I bring a unique perspective to the field of mental health. Having been DBT and EMDR trained, I utilize specialized evidence-based techniques tailored to your specific goals. My genuinely client-centered style of therapy provides a unique experience, which is why I frequently get told "I've never met a therapist like you before!"
If you've read this far, you are motivated to find the "right" therapist to talk to. Very seldom can we control things in life that negatively impact us, but taking control of what we can is one of the first steps to growth and self-discovery. Together, let's embark on a journey towards self-fulfillment, healing, and resilience!

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.

Hello. I am happy you are checking out my profile for the possibility of working together. I was first licensed as a Marriage Family Therapist in California in 2006. I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for 24 years and have now relocated back to Central Texas where I grew up. I attended John F Kennedy University and Graduated with a Masters in Counseling Psychology and a Certificate in Addictions Studies. I am passionate about assisting individuals to achieve their maximum potential in all areas of their lives.
Are you questioning if substance abuse is interfering with your life? Are your relationships suffering? Are you having trouble at work? How is your self-esteem? Do you feel good about the way you show up for others in your life? If you have these questions, I will help you assess the impact substance use is having in your life and then develop a treatment plan that meets your unique needs. I hold the belief that the priority in healing has to start with addressing substance use or effective healing cannot occur on any meaningful level.
I believe addiction is a family issue; with each person playing a part. I have been trained in various forms of family therapy as well. If you are feeling like you are being blamed by important people in your life for using drugs and or alcohol; let me help.

Many of today’s solutions for anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem are changing negative thoughts, leading many to feel misunderstood and like they are not making real progress. I know that your circumstances are unique, so I help you gain introspection by tailoring therapy to you, and always with an end goal in mind. My training in anxiety and depression means I have the expertise you need and deserve when feeling confident about yourself. But at the end of the day, you want to know you’re working with someone who “gets” what it means to be a teen or woman struggling with anxiety and depression right?
I get it because I’ve lived it myself. I know that sometimes you just want to quit. So when we work together, you won’t just get a trained therapist, you’ll get someone who truly understands what you are going through.

I created LIV counseling in 2021 to fulfill my desire to help those who feel lost, lifeless, emotionless, and withdrawn from life's greatest pleasures.

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.

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!

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.

I focus on adults, couples, and families utilizing a systems approach to help process and maintain a healthy individual self and the relationship.
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.

I want to help challenge you in discovering who you truly are so that you can move away from the pain of your past and into a new outlook of what your future can be. You have already taken the first step! Reach out today!
Hi! My name is Monique. I know the battle you face, for it was once my own. For years, I wrestled with self-hate, worry, depression, and the fear of rejection. The journey of self-discovery and healing was not easy, but it led me to realize that there was nothing wrong with me; I was merely a product of my life experiences. Therapy opened my eyes to unlearn unhealthy thoughts and behaviors while learning coping strategies, communication skills, and self-compassion.
I want to help you do the same. Together, we'll navigate the challenges, celebrate the victories, and unravel the layers that have been holding you back from embracing your true self and experiencing the pleasure and connection you deserve. It's time to rewrite your narrative, rediscover your confidence, and embrace a life that's authentically yours. With compassion, understanding, and a commitment to your growth, I'm here to guide you every step of the way. You're not alone in this journey – let's unlock your potential and create a life that's truly wholesome and fulfilling. Your story deserves to shine, and I'm here to help it unfold beautifully."

I am a counselor and a behavior analyst. I combine counseling with applied behavior analysis techniques. While counseling provides new perspectives, personal growth, and self-awareness, behavior therapy can identify and change behavior patterns, and even thinking patterns. Both therapies together can be very effective in meaningful change that lasts. I work with all ages and all individuals.

Hello! I'm Clara.
If you have been through traumatic experiences that are getting in the way of you living your life authentically, I would love to support you in regaining a sense of control over your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. If you have experienced loss, I would love to help you learn how to move through grief, rather than avoid it. If you find that you fall into codependent patterns in relationships, I would love to collaborate with you around boundary setting and self-care. I use a psychodynamic approach because I believe it is beneficial to identify the root of unhelpful behaviors and build compassion for the younger versions of yourself that were present when negative beliefs or self-sabotaging behaviors first showed up. I understand the negative impact that societal systems and institutions can have on health and well-being. I will guide you if you are curious to explore how oppressive systems may be affecting you mentally, physically, and spiritually, allowing for new perspectives to be imagined and utilized.
