Welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who believes in the transformative power of change! As a person-centered therapist, I strive to identify and celebrate the strengths of my clients. I serve from a compassionate, holistic perspective. I am open, curious, nonjudgmental, and highly motivated to see you become the best version of yourself. In your journey toward wellbeing, I will be there to gently and skillfully guide you, encourage and support your goals, teach and model effective coping strategies and techniques to better manage your needs.

Welcome. I will challenge you (with your permission), laugh with you and expect you to come with a goal and be willing to be actionable about whatever homework you decide to try. If you aren't prepared for a little challenge to your thinking, you aren't engaged in our counseling process. It's okay to be unsure, but not to believe anyone can make things better without your effort. Paying for someone to say you're right 100% of the time may feel good in the moment, but there is no growth in the comfort zone and no comfort in the growth zone.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S). I am licensed in Texas and Virginia.

I also work collaboratively with clients to identify underlying issues, set goals, and develop personalized treatment plans. I guide clients through the process to help build coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and foster personal growth.

I have been working with individuals struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder, substance use, sexual addiction, and mental health challenges for the past ten years. I have a real heart to walk alongside you to encourage, support, and empower you to move forward in your recovery needs. I graduated from Liberty University in 2014 with an MA in Professional Counseling and completed a Doctoral program specializing in treating trauma-related challenges.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Texas. I received my Masters from LeTourneau University and have been practicing for 4 years. I work with adult clients living with self-esteem issues, anxiety, depression, and anger. The goal is to provide a safe space for clients to openly talk, gain self-awareness, and identify ways to overcome their challenges.

I am Liz Serens, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over a decade of experience supporting adults through anxiety, ADHD, mood shifts, PTSD-related symptoms, relationship dynamics, and life transitions. My approach is collaborative and emotionally attuned, rooted in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where growth can flourish. I integrate CBT, DBT, ACT, and Humanistic modalities to support clarity, self-compassion, and meaningful change. To support clarity and reduce distractions, I use Grow Therapy’s HIPAA- and PHI-compliant transcribe system. This secure tool is optional, but it is my preferred method. It helps me stay focused and present, especially when navigating executive functioning challenges. Many clients find the written record grounding and empowering, and it allows us to focus more fully on your story and goals. My clinical foundation was shaped early through lived experience. I grew up alongside my father, Dr. David Hartman, a psychiatrist and disability rights advocate whose memoir White Coat, White Cane chronicles his journey as the first blind physician to graduate medical school in the United States. Supporting his work and speaking publicly as a teen instilled in me a lifelong commitment to inclusive care and strengths-based advocacy. One of my father’s guiding beliefs continues to shape my work: “All of us are handicapped in some way.” It reminds me that every client carries invisible challenges. Healing begins when those challenges are met with dignity, curiosity, and care. I may occasionally use constructive self-disclosure to support insight and trust. This is always done with intention, clear boundaries, and respect for your therapeutic goals. I also use secure tools to support accurate documentation and reduce cognitive load, especially when navigating executive functioning demands. Therapy should feel empowering, not overwhelming. Whether navigating neurodivergence or seeking a space to be heard, I am here with insight and respect.

I like to think these contrasts in my life have helped me learn to adapt and identify with many different types of people. While I value the privilege of being an American, I love what other nationalities contribute to my world. Standing beside my clients and walking with them through their difficult times is one of my greatest joys.

Namaste, my name is Ashwini Gupta and I am Therapist/Intuitive Life Coach specializing in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as well as Vedanta and Mindfulness-based practices. With 20 plus of experience helping individuals navigate life's challenges, I am passionate about empowering my clients to live more meaningful and fulfilling lives truly being in touch with the essence of soul identity. Using ACT as my primary therapeutic approach, I create a warm and non-judgmental space where we can work together to address difficulties such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues. ACT combines mindfulness, acceptance, and behavior change strategies to guide clients towards psychological flexibility, allowing them to better handle distress and align their actions with their deeply-held values. What is ACT? At its core, ACT is a behavioral therapy: it’s about taking action. But it’s not about just any old action. First, it’s about values-guided action. There’s a big existential component to this model: **What do you want to stand for in life? **What really matters, deep in your heart? **What is the legacy do you want to create for yourself? ACT gets you in touch with what matters in the big picture: your heart’s deepest desires for who you want to be and what you want to do during your brief time on this planet. You then use these core values to guide, motivate, and inspire behavioral change. What is Vedanta? Vedanta is one of the world's oldest philosophies which affirms the oneness of existence and the divinity of the soul. A close look at the word "Vedanta" is revealing: It is the combination of 2 words: "Veda" which means 'knowledge' and "anta" which means 'the goal of'. In this context, knowledge refers to understanding one's own divine nature- meaning and purpose in life.
