Hi, I'm Kelly Chastain, a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S) with 12 years of experience as a therapist and nearly 30 years of experience working with at-risk youth in juvenile detention facilities. My extensive background has given me a unique perspective on human behavior, trauma, family dynamics, and how our life experiences shape the way we think, feel, and interact with others. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, relationship difficulties, emotional regulation, and life transitions. My approach to therapy is genuine, compassionate, direct, interactive, and solution-focused. I believe everyone has strengths, even when life's challenges make them difficult to recognize. I combine evidence-based therapeutic approaches with practical tools, encouragement, and a little humor to help clients better understand themselves, recognize unhealthy patterns, develop healthier coping skills, and create meaningful change. I'm not the therapist who simply sits quietly and nods. I actively engage in conversations, ask meaningful questions, offer different perspectives, and respectfully challenge clients when needed. I believe therapy is a collaborative process that requires honesty, self-awareness, and a willingness to grow. My goal is to create a comfortable, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered with the tools and confidence to make lasting changes in your everyday life.

Having worked in the educational field for many years, I chose to go into to counseling in order to help others who are in need of understanding, support and encouragement. Allowing someone to express their thoughts, feeling and helping them see or understand what may be holding them back or creating issues in their life is rewarding. My aim is help others learn how to manage and go forward with all they have experienced and encountered.

Hello! I am happy that you are looking for a qualified professional to help you with your needs. My name is Erik Hedlund and I have been a therapist and substance use counselor for 12 years. I have worked with individuals, couples, and groups in private practice outpatient settings as well as in residential care for those with severe mental illness.

My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe, welcoming space to help you explore the challenges that experiencing anxiety, depression or trauma can create. I believe that the best tool to use in therapy is the one that fits you and your unique challenges the best. I am going to take the lead from you on what therapy should be and how you can best be helped.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with a passion for helping individuals navigate life's challenges and improve their emotional well-being. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and tailored to each client's unique needs. I strive to provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore their concerns and work towards their goals.

As a first-generation Latina therapist, I chose this field because I know how meaningful it can be to have someone show up for you when you’re navigating the challenges of growing, finding yourself, and caring for your mental health. I want to be the kind of support I once needed—someone who listens without judgment, creates space for honesty, and meets you where you are. My approach is authentic, empathetic, and focused on helping you create meaningful change while still honoring your unique experiences and background. I’m naturally laid-back and validating, but I’m also a challenger when I see an opportunity to help you grow, reflect, or step outside of what may be holding you back. No matter where you come from or what you’ve been through, you deserve a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported as you work toward becoming the version of yourself you want to be.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with a strong foundation in school‑based mental health, community support, and higher‑level clinical care. I specialize in helping children, teens, and young adults build confidence, emotional regulation, and practical coping skills. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in genuine relationship‑building—I want every client to feel seen, supported, and capable of growth. My clinical background includes working in an eating‑disorder hospital, where I supported adolescents and adults navigating complex relationships with food, body image, anxiety, and identity. That experience strengthened my belief in compassionate, evidence‑based care and taught me how to help clients move through shame, perfectionism, and self‑criticism with gentleness and clarity. I bring that same grounding, steady presence into outpatient work, meeting clients exactly where they are and helping them take meaningful steps forward. I also have years of experience across DFW‑area school districts and Communities In Schools, supporting students with academic, social, and emotional needs. This blend of school‑based and clinical work allows me to understand the full picture of a young person’s life—home, school, relationships, and internal world—and tailor therapy in a way that feels practical and empowering. I draw from cognitive‑behavioral strategies, strengths‑based work, and solution‑focused techniques to help clients understand their patterns, develop healthier responses, and reconnect with their sense of capability. Whether someone is navigating anxiety, depression, school stress, eating‑disorder recovery, or major life transitions, I offer a space that is safe, nonjudgmental, and deeply supportive. Clients describe me as approachable, encouraging, and easy to talk to. I value open communication, cultural humility, and creating a space where clients and families feel respected and understood. My goal is always to help clients build skills, strengthen resilience, and move toward a life that feels more grounded, hopeful, and aligned with who they want to be.

I'm an LPC based in Texas that continuously works toward increasing my cultural competency, passionate about helping my clients reach their personal goals.

If you struggle to focus on the here and now and want to explore your identity, book a session and let me help you reach your therapeutic goals.

The first step to healing is acknowledging there is an issue. As we mature through life some of us face more challenges than others. It is not the challenges we face that defines us but the steps we take to deal with the challenges that define us. Seeking guidance, an ear to listen is not a sign of weakness but strength for it takes a strong individual to acknowledge, seek and accept a helping hand. My passion has always centered around being a helping hand. I have experience in working with children, adolescents and their parents in addressing emotional issues and developing appropriate social skills. I have experience in working with juveniles dealing with mental health issues and a background in case management to provide families with necessary resources. My therapeutic approach is person-centered, the focus of the conversation is on you the individual, your needs, your strengths and barriers and finding ways to develop and increase your skills to live the life you want to live. Sometimes it is scary to jump or to even take the first step so congratulations on taking the first step and reaching out.

Hello! I’m Tami Quintana, a dual-licensed therapist (LPC, LMHC) with specialized certifications in addiction recovery (LCDC-I) and advanced anger management (CAMS-II). My practice is a holistic sanctuary designed for individuals at a crossroads—specifically women navigating the complexities of divorce and young adults facing life’s 'big' transitions. I believe that healing isn't just about 'fixing' a problem; it’s about honoring your whole self—mind, body, and spirit. My background is deep and diverse: I have years of experience walking alongside clients through intense challenges like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and autism, as well as those struggling with emotional disturbances, low self-esteem, or anger. Because of this, I offer a grounded, non-judgmental space where no emotion is 'too much' and no situation is too complex. I tailor my counseling for ages 8 to 55, using a blend of CBT, Solution-Focused, and Reality Therapy. We won’t just talk about the past; we will honor your entire experience to build a practical, empowering plan for your future. Whether you are seeking clarity in a transition or stability in a crisis, I am here to help you find your way back to balance.

Hi, I'm Jonni Allen, from Houston, Texas, a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and an Advanced Mediator. I received my masters degree from East Carolina University in Greenville, NC and my law degree from Washburn University in Topeka, KS. I started Pink Rose Therapy to help women reach their full potential. Through empowerment, support, and emotional development I have seen women achieve greater success in their career, higher reports of satisfaction and enjoyment from their interpersonal relationships and a genuine calm and peacefulness when enjoying their down time, allowing more time to spend on hobbies, side hustles, or causes with greater vigor and passion. I approach individual therapy as a partnership, where you and I both work on your treatment plan goals and checking in with how effective our work together is going. Each person is unique and has specific needs. Typically, I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to challenge your current assumptions about your situation. I specialize in people experiencing anxiety, adjustment concerns around life transitions, and personality disorders. I am trauma informed and can help you realize how past traumas are impacting your mental health today, and strategies to cope better and calm the mind and body. I am a single mom to three children one adult, and two elementary age.

My journey into mental healthcare is deeply personal and rooted in both lived experience and resilience. I was drawn to this field through many of the challenges I have faced and overcome throughout my own life. One of the most transformative moments in my journey occurred after I acquired a disability, an experience that completely shifted my perspective on healing, vulnerability, and emotional wellness. My personal experiences allow me to approach therapy with authenticity, compassion, and a deeper level of connection. I strive to create a therapeutic space where clients feel safe enough to be honest, explore their emotions without judgment, and move toward healing at their own pace. Those experiences ultimately shaped not only my career path, but also the type of therapist I strive to be, which is someone who leads with empathy, values genuine human connection, and understands that healing often begins when people feel supported, empowered, and no longer alone in what they are carrying.

I offer virtual therapy, focusing on helping people set healthy boundaries, speak up for themselves, and make positive changes in their lives. For over 20 years, I’ve helped adults overcome anxiety and codependency by empowering them to build healthier relationships with themselves and others. My goal is to help clients move through life with greater confidence, clarity, and self love.
