You have many choices when it comes to picking a counselor/therapist, but what is the most important thing to consider when choosing? Does the person appear to be kind? Do they have the qualifications to serve you? Does he/she make you feel comfortable and ease the anxiety you might be feeling regarding sharing such personal information so quickly? How does the office environment feel (telehealth or in the office)? More importantly, how quickly do you feel your exact problem is being addressed?

Hi, I am Alissa.
Have you ever felt trapped in your own brain? Feel like your emotions are running away with your life? I help individuals to learn how to control their thoughts and emotions so they are able to enrich their lives with relationships, stress, and emotional balance. I am a LCSW who specializes in anxiety, Borderline, depression, relationship issues, and emotional distress among other things. I love to work with the strength base module and a Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) model.

Finding a fitting therapist is a big part of your success in therapy, so if it does not initially work out, remember you can find a suitable option. Our initial meeting will be a 15-minute consultation to ensure we are compatible for each other to maximize your therapeutic experience.

Outside of the office, I spend a lot of time in nature as this is a healing place for me that I like to encourage others to consider as a therapeutic tool. My immediate family consists of my wife, 2 kiddos, and lots of pets. We spend time together hiking/exploring nature, joining city-wide events, finding new parks to play and walk the dogs, and cooking new recipes.

Do you feel anxious, worried, or depressed and overwhelmed with your life? Are you struggling to feel happy? Do you feel past trauma is affecting your ability to heal? Is it hard to be kind to yourself or to tell yourself that you are doing all that you can?
Together, we can build a safe place so that we can find what's not working for you and get you back to a place where your mind, body, and spirit feel at ease. We'll use a mindfulness approach and identify those negative thoughts and come up with a balanced adaptive thought that can help you feel better. I integrate mindfulness and an Eye Movement Desensitization Approach (EMDR), along with Cognitive Behavioral Theory and several other approaches to help you develop a stronger relationship with yourself. All of this comes from a strength based, trauma informed, culturally informed perspective where we will identify your strengths and your plan to help yourself heal.
I'm here to help and understand that seeking therapy can feel overwhelming and scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the thoughts and habits holding you back.

Hello and welcome to Therapy by Moonlight. Let me tell you about myself and what you can expect.
My name is Marlene Luna, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas.
I have been practicing social work for over ten years. In my ten years of experience, I have worked with a variety of individuals. I am passionate about sharing my experience both professional and personal in order to help others live their best life. With that said the following groups are my specialty:
Adolescents from 12 yrs to 17 yrs of age. This may be due to me not feeling like an adult until I had my son at age 30!
Speaking of sons, my son has ADHD, and I was diagnosed late in life. I love sharing my knowledge with adolescent and adult females with ADHD.
Another group I enjoy working with is individuals with chronic illnesses both mental and physical and chronic pain. Dealing with my own chronic illnesses has helped me better understand the various feelings and thoughts a person may experience. I will share what I've learned, tricks, and tips that worked for me. More importantly, I will help you find your special tricks to better manage and accept your chronic illness/pain.
Last but definitely not least caregivers. It takes a special kind of person to care for someone. If this sounds like you, I will teach, and help you learn self-care, the act of putting your needs before the needs of others. We will find the right balance of self-care and caregiving for your life.
I do not tell you what to do or how to live. Instead, I provide you with evidence-based practices that best lead you in achieving your best self.
My other roles are wife to a supportive husband for the past 6 yrs. I am a mother to a 10-year-old son and a 4-year-old fur baby named Chulo. We love playing outdoors, exploring new places, and Bar-B-Que.
I am providing in-person sessions Monday and Wednesday at 9 am, 10 am 11 am, 2 pm, and 3 pm, however, my move-in date has changed to August 15, 2023. I will not be able to provide an in-person session until after August 15, 2023. Monday and Wednesday at 7 pm, 8 pm, and 9 pm are VIRTUAL sessions ONLY.
Some of my other roles are wife to an amazing and supportive husband for the past 6 yrs. I am a mother to a 10-year-old son and a 4-year-old fur baby named Chulo. We love playing outdoors, exploring new places, and Bar-B-Que.

I have been practicing therapy for 8 years mostly utilizing a cognitive behavioral therapy approach. I assist clients with identifying how their thinking directly influence feelings and behaviors. In sessions clients generally discover new ways of thinking by targeting patterns, that triggers maladaptive behavior. Together, we can identify what's not working, and what helps promote growth in your life.
We are all human and seeking therapy can feel scary; but you're making the right choice. Everyone deserves a safe space to heal and grow. Lets work together to get you towards your goals.

Though my online practice is limited to working with adults individually, the issues of parenting and family conflict continue to interest me deeply. I am also quite interested in the emotional challenges related to immigration, and much of my work has been with immigrant families from Latin America. Furthermore, as I age, I have become increasingly interested in working with older adults.

Hi I'm Jennifer. I work with a wide range of therapy clients from children/ teens to end of life. In all my therapy I find that many times unresolved feelings and negative thought patterns come into play. Often the way we learn to communicate and our feelings about ourselves impact our relationships with others. My background is in trauma and attachment. Helping people understand how their unresolved feelings related to trauma affects their current relationships and life is where most of the work is. In couples therapy I focus on identifying what differences in your family of origin are impacting how you see the world and work with you to translate that into working together with your partner to successfully process and integrate your two differing styles. In individual therapy the focus is on identifying what keeps you stuck and how to shift to improve communication, mood, relationships, and have a more positive outlook. I also work with you to identify and work toward your goals, whatever they may be.
I work with a solution focused, cognitive behavioral style. I have been trained in TFCBT. I have many years experience and work to find what will work best with you. Change is hard and identifying what is impacting your life and holding you back is where we work together to move forward.
I look forward to getting to know you and help you grow and blossom.

I'm so glad you have landed here. Whether this is your first time exploring counseling support or you've been seeing a counselor for years, WELCOME. Finding the right counselor can be overwhelming, so as you read along here, I hope you are able to see the ways we can work together. I am a 1st generation born-in-America, Palestinian, woman. I come from a large family and have played sports my whole life. These identities are important to me, and I imagine you may have some that are dear to you. In this space, identities are important, validated, and processed. While therapy involves a lot of processing and a lot of communication, it is also very much about unlearning and relearning parts of current and past selves and environments. Counseling can be messy, enlightening, and frustrating, but most of all, it is intended to feel rewarding to the body and soul.
You are the expert of your own experiences, so I will often ask you to turn inward for answers. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI). Sometimes, I'll metaphorically wrap you and your thoughts in a warm blanket, but at times I may be the one holding up the mirror you have been avoiding. Together, we will collaborate to ebb and flow with how we want this space to serve you.

I know that you would prefer a therapist who can understand your reality and what you experience during a regular day. As a therapist, I am interested in the mental health of healthcare professionals of all stripes, as well as their significant others. I have worked in these environments, and I understand the stressors which lead to burnout, compassion fatigue, and breakdown in relationships. My unique experience has been supporting veterinary professionals, animal welfare professionals, and rescue or sanctuary volunteers and employees. As you know, these are difficult jobs both physically and emotionally, and your experience is often misconstrued and misunderstood.
I was a professor of social work for 23 years, and I continue to supervise social workers toward their clinical licensure. I have guided at least 40 social workers in 3 states in this way, and so I am sometimes considered the "therapist's therapist." During my activities in teaching and supervision, I continued to provide therapy to clients with various concerns, so that I continually learned and became current in many approaches and techniques. I have taught, published, and presented at conferences a great deal in the areas of grief and bereavement as well as mental health in the healthcare field, especially that of veterinary professionals. I have also participated in and published about the impact and mental health concerns during and after natural disasters, including the current pandemic and several hurricanes.
So if you are looking for a mature therapist who can empathically respond to your unique situation, I would love to meet you.

I am a licensed clinical mental health therapist and hold my Masters degree in Social Work from The University of Akron. I originally began my career in the corporate HR world and after 10 years decided I wasn’t following my true passion. My passion is working with adults who are on a journey of self-growth. I started MindWell Counseling, LLC in 2022 because life has been more difficult over the past few years, and wanted to provide a safe, non-judgmental space to express your thoughts, feelings and to be yourself. I believe each person can heal and my role is to provide you with support, feedback, education, and therapeutic interventions so you can. I utilize a collaborative and strengths-based approach to counseling and provide a warm, empathetic and compassionate environment (and maybe a little humor). Reaching out for counseling is courageous and the first step in the healing process. Whether this is your first time or your 100th time in therapy, my objective is for you to achieve your goals. I look forward to being a part of your path to healing!

Healing is not always found in a linear path. With every new experience we encounter there is the potential and opportunity for change.
Hi, I'm Mayra, thank you for taking the time to get to know a little about me.
Therapy can be a challenge for some people so I like to provide gentle guidance while engaging together on this journey. I strive to help create a safe space for people to explore their identity (cultural, familial, sexual, etc).
I have worked in the medical field for almost 20 years in different roles. This has allowed me to gain different perspectives and have a better understanding of the medical community. Having been part of this community has allowed me to serve patients, caregivers, first responders and medical professionals.
Most of my adulthood has been spent in Austin and the Hill Country. I am a bilingual first-generation Texan and I’m happy to call Central Texas home. However, I was born and raised in South Texas and la frontera (the borderlands) is also very much part of my identity. I find that our cultures and family of origin at times play a role in how we choose to carry our experiences and expectations.

Meeting someone new maybe anxiety provoking, but starting therapy? That is truly a daunting task! You’ve made the first step by recognizing that maybe you should talk to someone. Now, all of these bios sound about the same. Which one to pick? How do you know which one will help you the most? You may be thinking, “oh, forget it, I just can’t make that decision right now.” Or, “I don’t want to sit for an hour and cry while I tell a total stranger my life’s story.” Or, “what if someone finds out that I’m not perfect. What if this person thinks I’m crazy and wants to lock me away forever?“ Or, “no one should have to live like I am right now! I’ve got to have some help. I want someone that has a lot of experience, someone that will relate to me, understand me, NOT judge me or my circumstances, and help me figure out this situation!“
And the answer to all those questions is me! I am here for you. I understand how you feel and I will not judge you. I will not shame you or make you feel guilty. It is my job to help you feel comfortable and at ease. It is my job to get you living and laughing again. I do laughter therapy! I promise to inspire you, empower you, to free you to live your best and happiest life. Life is too short to live depressed or anxious. Set up an appointment with me today and let’s get started. Oh, and by the way, I’ve been doing this for 20 years. I might know a thing or two! 😉

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.

During my graduate internship at UTSW Zale Lipshy Inpatient Psychiatric Unit in Dallas, Texas I discovered my passion working with individuals struggling with the day-to-day challenges of their mental health and life’s obstacles. I engaged with them on treatment planning, individual and group therapy, education as well as case management. After graduation I worked full time on the unit until 2017 when I transferred to UTSW William P. Clements University Hospital Emergency Department working with adults from age 18+ mostly with those needing/requesting mental health treatment. I left my position at UTSW in 2022 to begin my private practice and help those struggling remain in the community and not become hospitalized.

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!

Hi, my name is Kimberly Hutchinson.
My goal is to empower you. All of us feel down or overwhelmed at times in our lives, or maybe it even feels like more than that. I'm here to help. With a busy life, additional emotional support, a sense of direction, or help understanding current circumstances may make navigating life's challenges a little easier. By working together to clarify the difficulties or challenges, and then working through them, you can achieve therapeutic goals that enable you to obtain greater self-understanding and grow into a life with less anxiety and a better ability to withstand the stresses of the everyday world.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist and I have more than 25 years of experience in the field of mental health. My approach to therapy is collaborative, which means we work together. I use evidence-based cognitive-behavioral and supportive approaches. Sometimes we may talk about the past, but the focus is on the present and helping you move forward.
My expertise includes anxiety, depression, domestic violence, obsessive-compulsive disorder, trauma, adjustment, and stress management. I have specializations in neuropsychology and rehabilitation psychology (e.g., stroke, health problems), so I also work with individuals who have issues such as ADHD, Asperger's syndrome/autism, the effects of stroke or adjusting to a medical disorder. You can expect a collaborative, practical approach to therapy with achievable goals. I look forward to working with you!

Being a human is HARD...what can you do about it?
I am here to support you on your journey, whatever that might look like. I am experienced with discussing religious trauma and patterns of distress to discover who you were, are, and who you want to become. I am a sex-positive, anti-oppressive therapist who focuses on trauma-informed methods when exploring identities. All identities are welcome and this includes sex workers, transhumans, polyamorous folx, kink/bdsm explorers, and questioning individuals.
As a neurodivergent, disabled individual myself, I enjoy learning about your own story while building a safe space for you to discuss your frustrations with living in a world that is often not made for this community. We can work on building that pathway to understanding and discovering what makes you tick.
