I was born and raised in Texas. I love the Texas Summer nights and Autumn days. I grew up in a blended family of my mother, grandparents, biological brother, and many foster brothers and sisters. Let's just say things were always interesting, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. Those experiences helped shape who I am and gave me insight into a variety of people. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S) and a Certified Sex Therapist (CST). I received a Doctorate of Education in Counseling Psychology from Argosy University. I have a Master of Education in Counseling and Human Development from Hardin-Simmons University and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Abilene Christian University. When I'm not counseling, I love to read all things paranormal (i.e. vampires, werewolves, fae, etc.). I enjoy music, different forms of dance and fitness, cooking and eating new dishes, as well as, traveling. Also, I am one third of The RePsychled Podcast, which is a podcast that focuses on educating and bringing mental health awareness to minority communities in a down to earth way.

My name is Richard Spires. I believe in the therapeutic alliance. Counseling is a team effort and we get the best results when we work together. Part of my counseling style is that I take time getting to know you and try to truly understand your issues. I have been to counseling myself and had experiences where I felt the therapist was not trying to understand my problems. I told myself that when I become a counselor, I never want any of my patients to feel like I didn't care. So I take pride in getting to know you and understanding your problems. So whenever you're ready to talk, I'm ready to listen.

I was in the United States Marine Corps from 1998-2003 and during this time I learned a great deal about myself and became more culturally diverse. During my third year of service, I was injured at Officers Candidate School and realized that I needed to develop my counseling skills, so I worked with an agency that counseled teens regarding their addiction. I have been in the social services field for the past twenty years and have been licensed for the past 10 years. When I got out of the Marines in 2003, I went home to North Carolina and my father passed away three days later unexpectedly so, I needed a job and I was able to use my previous years working with teens and became a supervisor at Sipes Orchard Home took in unwanted children from parents, Level II and Level IV agencies, and the Department of Children and Families. After being here at this facility for two years I left as they weren't following the Medicaid standards. I left the agency and went to work for The Cognitive Connection as the Prevention Supervisor providing preventive services for teens and was part of the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) providing groups to adults. I worked with Cognitive Connection for three years and left to go to Pensacola, Florida because I had heard they were starting a MSW program. I felt hopeful as I knew getting my master’s in social work would change my life forever. After I finished the MSW program I immediately started working for Lakeview Services in Adult Outpatient Community Mental Health and then worked in the Drug Court program. I stayed here for three years until I got a job with the DoD in Oklahoma because my wife was trying to get a federal job, so I moved to support her and my family. While working with the DoD I was able to get my supervision for licensing, created an anger management program for the DoD, and stayed until my LCSW license was finalized in December of 2013. When I came back to Florida I worked for Volunteers of America for a couple of years until a federal job opened at Veterans Affairs in Pensacola, FL, in August of 2016. I have been licensed in Florida for the past 10 years, recently became licensed in Texas and Oklahoma. I have some clients who are in therapy with me for several weeks to several months depending on their individual needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

Life can bring challenging chapters in the narrative of our life. Processing and moving forward from these struggles is possible. You have taken a significant step in reaching out. On my journey of healing, I have faced losses that shook my sense of self and I had to move through experiences I did not believe I would have the strength to recover from. I am a person who is comfortable with the uncomfortable. In fact, because I have had to work through most of my dark times alone, I seek to be a support for individuals when challenges arise. A guiding goal for me is to reduce the number of individuals who have to mirror my lived experience. I am an advocate for expressive arts, strength-based, and body-centered approaches. I have over 20 years combined experience working with children and adolescents, as an educator, artistic director, and counselor. I am honored to be a resource of support for youth and adults experiencing grief and processing traumatic experiences.

Hello! I am a Doctor of Marriage & Family Therapy and currently a Licensed Professional Counselor. I currently have 8 years of counseling/clinical experience. As a LPC, my style is warm, non-judgmental, and compassionate. I use a mix of solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral, narrative, and person-centered therapies. I aim to make clients feel comfortable and at ease while being attentive and open. I specialize in both outpatient and inpatient services treating military/veteran populations, PTSD/trauma, substance abuse disorders and addiction, co-occurring disorders, anxiety/depression/stress, ADHD, sports psychology and performance anxiety with student/professional athletes, and family/couples/relational and intimate relationships. Additionally, I have specialized experience in conducting clinical assessments of substance abuse patients, formulating behavioral health treatment plans, providing professional counseling to substance abuse patients, treating psychological conditions associated with medical complications, performing biopsychosocial/psychological evaluations of clients, developing behavioral health treatment plans, and providing psychotherapy for adolescents, teenagers, adults, couples, and family populations. There are countless theories, modalities, and orientations in the therapy world. This can be very confusing for those who simply are unsure what fits them. My biggest takeaway from this journey of mine is that it is not so much about a theory but rather active listening, creating context, and simply being there with the individual(s) looking for different perspectives to help guide a client to move forward is really what therapy is all about. I look forward to guiding you on your journey of faith, hope and wellness!

Carl Rogers said, “We think we listen, but very rarely do we listen with real understanding, true empathy. I am committed to creating a space where the client feels seen and heard. I have a unique counseling style that allows clients to quickly engage in the therapeutic process. Helping clients find a deeper understanding of themselves is my focus. I guide the client through their journey of self-awareness with cognitive restructuring combined with a person-centered approach. Do you feel overwhelmed and mentally depleted? Our thoughts, emotions, and behavior are guided by our internal compass. Sometimes we need to check our compass and make sure we are going in the right direction. This internal compass is the lens through which we see ourselves, and the world and influences our decisions. A shift in the thought process opens the door for healing and clarity of thought. I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow.

Hi there everyone! I'm Nicole. I aim to make therapy feel like a familiar conversation; one you can look forward to each time. Do you find yourself unhappy, sad or depressed, anxious, or feeling like you're ready to give up? Are you thinking of divorce or other relationship issues? Job stress or home or other personal issues that consume your thoughts. Talking to me may be what you need. The issues that have placed you and your wellbeing at a crossroad can be helped. I am here to help overcome any anguish, frustration and or anxiety that seems to invade your space. I am here to help you see the best version of you! Helping you become cognitive aware of what bothers you, using motivational techniques, and diving deep into the root causes of issues is how I begin to help you find the sun in your life that you need. Let's explore and overcome together. As a therapist, we are human too. We understand and are trained to help you. We can personalize a plan and help you overcome the things that may be dimming your lights or even the lights of those around you. Do not let the stigma of therapy and or the fear of it not working stop you from scheduling with me! I can't wait to meet you.

HI, and nice to meet you! I am Gina, often called "Dr. G.". Do you sometimes feel as though you are carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders? I empower individuals/families to learn to overcome the burdens that life can bring. I am a therapist, but generally considered a Human Advocate, or one who helps to complete life's puzzles. I enjoy helping others take apart the pieces of the puzzle that don't fit well, organizing them, then putting them back together completely. We all deserve a little help sometimes, and that’s what led you here. If you’re feeling like something has got to give but you don’t know what, reach out. We can work on a solution together. I look forward to meeting you and walking with you on this journey.

Hey there! I'm so glad you're here! I know it may feel intimidating to begin therapy, and you're probably doubting if you should schedule your first session but trust me when I say, DO IT! Although it is not easy to talk about your personal challenges to a complete stranger, I can tell you that I have the tools, education, and a non-judgemental space to help guide and challenge you! You may be tired of feeling frustrated and taking it out on those you love, constantly feeling on edge, excessively worrying and experiencing thoughts throughout the night that don't help you fall asleep. You may feel unhappy with your life right now and you have been experiencing constant panic about where you’re life is going. You may also be struggling to find a balance between your multiple life roles, but there’s hope in knowing that you can feel at peace, confident, and empowered. You can work on not letting your worry wear you out and make you feel tired. You can sleep better at night, stop ruminating on what you're going to do tomorrow or what you had to do yesterday, and you can begin to feel calm inside. Put your mental health first and begin this journey to your healing and improvement! We will identify negative and intrusive thoughts that make an impact on how you behave and feel. We will rediscover your confident and empowered self while finding balance in your life. You deserve to feel validated. I want to hear your story and be able to guide you toward the confidence and balance you’ve been searching for! Through this non-judgemental and calm space, know that you are listened to and allowed to come as you are. Whether you struggle with depression, anxiety, or panic attacks, let’s talk!

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.

Hi there, I'm Farah Ali. I am a licensed clinical social worker, psychotherapist, and dedicated advocate for my clients. My educational foundation is based in psychology and social justice, having earned my master's degree in social work with a dual concentration in community practice and clinical mental health. Driven by a strong commitment to human rights and social justice, I am dedicated to advocating for every individual I work with and the communities I am part of. My Core Principles as a Therapist: Focusing on Strengths & Empowerment: Central to our work is helping you to more deeply connect to—and really use—your inherent strengths. This means looking for growth opportunities where some might find roadblocks and accessing both internal and external resources to help you make the changes you want to see in your life. Working for Comprehensive Wellness: Therapy is a place where we can work toward mental and emotional wellness, learn how to foster positive relationships, and discover a greater sense of balance and ease in your day-to-day life. Promoting Connection & Authenticity: The relationship we have is vital, which is why I work hard to make sure our relationship is a nurturing space for meaningful growth. Creating Safety in Being Seen: I strive to make our sessions a place where every emotion is valued, encouraged, and supported—yes, even the “bad” or “undesirable” emotions. This is the space we cultivate together in our work, and space that is here to help you more deeply see yourself, and be seen in your authenticity.
