I’m Marilee, and as your counselor, I bring a lifetime of learning and experience with relationships to the counseling room. I am passionate about the marriage relationship and I know how critical it is to individual and family well-being. But relationships can be hard, even with the people you love.. I recognize the pain that comes from when our reality doesn't meet our expectations, and I love helping clients see new possibilities for their relationship. In addition to counseling, I have a Masters of Science in Family Studies and am an adjunct professor in the Educational Psychology department at the University of North Texas. Along with Parenting and Child Development, my favorite course to teach is Courtship & Marriage which focuses on relationships, and how they thrive when they are based on a foundation of trust, commitment, good communication, repair skills, and grace. It is this course which ultimately inspired me to pursue a second master's degree in Marriage & Family Therapy. Married for more than 3 decades, I am mom to four 'grown and flown' kids and “Rara” to 5 grandchildren whom I adore. When I’m not at work I enjoy pickleball, paddleboarding, home renovation, travel and spending time with friends and family.

Hello and welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. I believe each person has a unique story, shaped by experiences, that influence how we see ourselves and the world around us. Sometimes, these experiences can create perceptions that feel out of sync with who we truly are. My approach is grounded in the belief that you have an inner capacity for healing, and I’m here to help you connect with it—offering guidance, support, and a steady presence as you move toward deeper self‑understanding and growth. In our work together, you’ll have a warm, compassionate, and collaborative space where trust and mutual respect form the foundation. You don’t have to walk this path alone—I’ll be by your side every step of the way. I am a clinical social worker specializing in mental health. I have over 20 years of experience working in mental health and social services. I specialize in working with trauma, anxiety, and depression, and have advanced training and am certified in EMDR therapy (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing). I have worked in several foreign countries in social services and with the military. I completed a Bachelor of Science, in Psychology/Biology at Texas Woman’s University and a Master of Science Social Work at the University of Texas at Arlington.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and have been practicing since 2016. I've owned my growing mental health practice Premier Mental Health and Wellness since 2020. While my experience in mental health treatment is vast, my specialty over time has shifted to working with high-functioning professionals experiencing burnout, ADHD, anxiety, and the unique challenges faced by women balancing significant personal and professional responsibilities. As a career driven single mom and business owner, I understand the demands of balancing a demanding career with the realities of everyday life. This experience has shaped my approach for both men and women- grounded, practical, and deeply attuned to the real pressures many of my patients are navigating. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time and traveling with my son, dogs (Cooper and Ravenclaw) and cat (Rocky). I also enjoy eating good food, Sudoku, chess, reading, and finding time to recharge in nature- whether that’s hiking or relaxing at the beach.

Hi there! I'm Ashley :) I am passionate about providing trauma-focused, neurodiversity-affirming, culturally competent mental health care to clients of all identities. I specialize in treating "big T" trauma, attachment/developmental trauma or "little T," PTSD/complex PTSD, dissociative disorders, and addiction. Often my clients feel stuck in their symptoms, which hold them back from enjoying comfort in their daily lives. These symptoms could include panic attacks, dissociative episodes, feeling disconnected from others, or waves of sadness, all of which can lead to unhealthy self-medication.

I am a licensed psychologist and the founder of Bridgewell Cognitive Health. My work focuses on helping individuals understand the patterns in their thinking, behavior, and emotional responses that may be contributing to distress or difficulty in daily life. Many of the people I work with identify as neurodivergent or suspect that neurodivergent traits may be influencing their experiences. My practice focuses on the intersection of neurodivergence and mental health, particularly how differences in attention, cognition, and emotional processing can interact with conditions such as anxiety, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and executive functioning challenges.My clinical work focuses primarily on neurodivergence and the mental health conditions that commonly co-occur with it. These include: • ADHD and executive functioning challenges • Obsessive-compulsive patterns of thinking and behavior • Anxiety and chronic worry • Phobias and avoidance patterns • Body-focused repetitive behaviors (such as hair pulling or skin picking) • Emotional dysregulation and rumination • Neurodivergent relationship dynamics

Hi there, I'm Cara—a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified EMDR therapist with over 20 years of experience. I started out in the health and wellness field, training both myself and others to excel in their pursuit of physical fitness. However, I soon discovered the importance of mental and emotional health. Many of the physically fit individuals I worked with were unhappy, stressed or lonely. Over the years, I have pursued extensive training to treat a variety of mental health issues and have accumulated a wealth of knowledge from each of the hundreds of individuals I’ve had the opportunity to work with. It is my calling and passion to join others on their healing journey.

I’m Amanda Steed, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) providing therapy in Texas, Washington, and Colorado. My work is trauma-informed, practical, and deeply compassionate—I help people make sense of what they’re experiencing and create a clear path toward healing and transformation. Many of the people who find their way to me are high-functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or disconnected on the inside. They may be tired of overthinking, second-guessing themselves, or repeating relationship patterns they can’t seem to change. Others are carrying the impact of past experiences—relational trauma, chronic stress, or spiritual/religious harm—and want a therapy approach that goes beyond coping to create real, lasting shifts. In our work together, you can expect a steady, non-shaming space that balances warmth and honesty. We’ll move at a pace that feels safe, while staying oriented toward meaningful change. I’ll help you understand the “why” beneath your patterns, strengthen your nervous system’s capacity for regulation, and build a road map that supports the life and relationships you want.

If you’re not feeling like your best self right now—if sadness, anxiety, grief, or even hopelessness is weighing you down—please know this: you are not alone, and healing is possible. You deserve a space where your voice is heard, your story is honored, and your soul is safe. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I walk alongside adolescents, couples, and families through seasons of pain, growth, and transformation. Whether you're navigating life transitions, coping with grief, healing from trauma, or managing depression and anxiety, I bring both compassion and expertise to guide your journey. My foundation in trauma-informed care was shaped by my years as a School Counselor with Dallas ISD and further deepened through my work with the Children’s Advocacy Center of Collin County. These experiences taught me that healing is not a straight path—but a sacred one. In our sessions, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan that speaks to your needs. My schedule offers flexibility, including evenings and weekends because I know life doesn’t pause when we need help the most. Transformation doesn’t happen overnight, but with each step forward, you reclaim more of yourself. You are worthy of peace, joy, and the life you envision. Let’s walk toward that future together!

Hi, I’m Leslie. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with formal training in counseling and several years of experience providing trauma-informed care to adults. I completed my graduate education at University of North Texas with a MS in Rehabilitation Counseling and became licensed in 2021. My professional experience includes work in private practice and clinical settings, supporting individuals with trauma histories, anxiety, depression, stress-related concerns, and life transitions. I prioritize ethical practice, continued education, and thoughtful, client-centered care. I’m additionally a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, Certified Narcissistic Abuse Specialist and Brainspotting Practitioner (Phase 4). I’m also Internal Family Systems informed. One very important detail to know about me is that I was in a near fatal car wreck that left me paralyzed from the waist down. I was seconds away from a blood clot shutting down my heart. So I do know what it’s like to survive a life I didn’t know what it would be. But now over 25 years later, I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I care deeply that my clients feel seen and heard. I identify as queer and am metaphysical, as well. I’m also known to watch documentaries on serial killers and neuroscience. I enjoy spending time with friends and my sweet kitty, PJ. All animals are welcome to virtual sessions! I get invested on how they’re doing too!

Hi, I'm Ba Bunansa, LPC (like "Baa Baa Black Sheep"). I provide empowering, authentic care for LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and neurodivergent individuals. My approach blends expertise with humor and ADHD energy to create therapy that actually works for real life.

I am a somatic psychotherapist with over 30 years in the behavioral health field. I started in addictions and worked toward trauma and the body. I am licensed in multiple states, a supervisor for new LMSWs, and an assistant trainer for somatic experiencing across the U.S.

I am an experienced clinical social worker with over 25 years in the helping professions and nearly 20 years in private practice. I work in depth with adults across many life stages and value a collaborative approach that feels thoughtful, grounded, and encouraging. Earlier in my career, I was a middle school English teacher. Reading the fairy tales my students wrote sparked a lasting interest in how people make meaning of their lives and how personal stories shape the way we think, feel, and act. Over time, this led me to pursue advanced training in psychotherapy. Clients often describe me as a good listener who is practical and reflective, helping them sort through what matters most and find a way forward that feels right to them.

I believe that everyone can benefit from therapy. When you give yourself the gift of therapy, you give yourself the best chance at a fulfilling life. I help adults, single parents, and any family system balance the connection between mind, body, and spirit. As a therapist, I strive to be the mediator that propels others forward. My goal is to help others tap into their flow state and become their optimal selves. This is possible by acknowledging how our prior experiences have shaped us, conditioning our strongest beliefs about ourselves and others. We become our best when we begin to heal from this conditioning and forge a new way of living that serves needs without taking away from others. Anyone working with me will undoubtedly experience feeling of being truly heard, seen, understood, informed, challenged, and given a space to freely express thoughts and feelings without judgement or condemnation. Clients will be able to increase their awareness of self, identify barriers to progress, and be equipped with the skills necessary to cope with presenting problems.

I bring over a decade of experience helping couples and individuals create healthier, more fulfilling lives and relationships. I work with couples at all stages — dating, married, or long-term partners — who feel stuck in recurring conflict, disconnection, or communication breakdowns. Together, we identify patterns, build insight, and develop skills that create lasting change. I also specialize in supporting young adults as they navigate anxiety, boundaries, friendships, dating, career pressures, and the many transitions that come with early adulthood. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or unsure of your next step, therapy can help you gain clarity and confidence. My style is collaborative, practical, and insight-driven. I aim to create a space that feels both safe and productive, where growth is possible and progress feels tangible.

I am a licensed therapist who believes that healing begins in a space where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted. I strive to create a nonjudgmental, emotionally safe environment where your experiences and feelings are honored as valid and meaningful. Whether you’re seeking an empathic ear to help you process life’s stressors or you’re ready to engage in deeper healing work, I will meet you where you are. My primary and preferred modality is EMDR, which I use to help clients process trauma, distressing memories, and long-standing emotional patterns in a way that is both structured and empowering. I also integrate experiential therapy, play therapy, solution-focused techniques, and narrative therapy, allowing our work together to be flexible, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. I believe therapy should not be one-size-fits-all, and I value approaches that honor both emotional depth and practical change. In our work together, you can expect compassion, honesty, and respect. I believe your feelings make sense in the context of your life, and they deserve space rather than judgment. Therapy with me is not about “fixing” you — it’s about understanding, healing, and helping you reconnect with your strengths, resilience, and sense of self. No matter where you are in your journey, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

Life can be confusing, lonely, and overwhelming. Reaching out for help is incredibly brave. At Growth Mindset Psychotherapy we offer a warm and compassionate space to process your thoughts and learn skills to navigate life's hardships. With several years of experience, I am committed to helping you create positive changes in your life. You will receive consistent support and encouragement as we develop hope.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in treating adults and teens who may be experiencing anxiety, PTSD/trauma, depression, or working through life transitions. I am trauma-informed, EMDR Certified, and I incorporate CBT, DBT skills, mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing to help clients work through their various struggles. I am an affirming therapist who works with a variety of clients, meeting them where they are and finding the right therapeutic intervention for their specific needs. I provide a warm and accepting environment where clients can feel safe processing through their stressors, concerns, or trauma without fear of judgment. I earned my bachelor's degree in Psychology from St. Edward's University in Austin, Texas in 1999 and masters in Clinical/Counseling Psychology from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas in 2001. I obtained my professional license (LPC) in 2004 while working at the Dallas County Juvenile Department, providing individual, group, family, and crisis counseling to youth who were involved in the juvenile justice system. Over the past 20+ years, my experience has included working with teenagers experiencing behavioral problems, children and teenagers in the foster care system, individuals struggling with substance abuse/addiction issues, and adults with a variety of therapeutic goals and concerns. Personally, I am a mom, a wife, a daughter of aging parents, an animal lover, and hopefully a place where you can feel safe.

I’m so glad you’re here. I’m Shurhonda Scott, a Licensed Professional Counselor and EMDR-trained therapist offering a trauma-informed and holistic approach to care. I believe that each person’s journey is unique, and sometimes we need additional support to walk it with courage and clarity. My work is grounded in the belief that transformation happens when we feel safe, seen, and empowered to explore the deeper layers of our story.
