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 love people, and I love helping people through struggles. I listen with a non-judgmental caring heart, knowing we have all struggled in different ways. I would be honored to help guide you to the first and/or next steps in your healing journey. I specialize in trauma therapy, depression, addictions and compulsions, anxiety, parenting, and Christian counseling. I started my counseling career by volunteering on teen suicide hotline about 28 years ago, and have been fully licensed as a professional counselor for over 17 years now.

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.

Hello! I’m pleased you are checking out some profiles and I honor your courage to reach out. My professional life covers a broad range of counseling experiences including 2 ½ years in a chemical dependency setting working with parolees and probationers, co-facilitating a sex-offenders group, 11 years serving students in a counseling center at a major university providing mental health and career counseling, three years serving members of the military service and their family members, all the while serving a variety of clients in a private practice setting. I have been offering tele-mental health (only) counseling for the past 5 years. You will find me to be personable, attentive, and compassionate. I also believe that light-heartedness is critical not only to healing, but in everyday life. My responsibility is to provide you with an emotionally safe and non-judgmental setting, and the encouragement and guidance to utilize the solutions I provide for you to heal.

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.

My name is Boisey Bristo, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional, and Certified Brain Injury Specialist based in Ft. Worth, Texas delivering services statewide via telehealth. I work with adolescents and adults specializing in anxiety disorders, mood disorders, stress and adjustment challenges, trauma, culture and diversity, and brain injury. My counseling philosophy is, that “every journey begins with the first step.” Most of my clients present with anxiety and depression. However, I have also worked with eating disorders, personality disorders, autism, substance abuse/addiction, and psychotic disorders. My focus is on helping the client achieve wellness through the process of acceptance and change.

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!

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.

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.

Hello there! Welcome to Grow Therapy. You may call me Paul. Do you find it difficult to connect with or find a therapist that places you first? I place a huge emphasis on listening to you while using a person-centered approach. I empower you to be able to identify what it is that is troubling you in a complex world of thoughts and emotions. We'll use a holistic model to integrate mind, body, and spirit. This encourages you to discover the skills or strategies that help you to be the best you can be. I help people learn to identify the root of their issue(s). This not only addresses the symptoms but improves healing at the core of the problem thereby promoting lasting change. I truly believe in a person's ability to grow and change as you travel down your pathway to mental health and well-being. Learning to live in the present allows us to experience healing and wellness in the here and now. Whether you're dealing with complex relationship issues that seem hopeless and overwhelming or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. I strive to create a safe and comfortable space where healing and growth are encouraged. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with trust, empathy and compassion while using evidence-based techniques so you can overcome barriers and obstacles that have been holding you back.

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.
