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.

Hi, I’m glad you’re here. I’m an EMDR certified, licensed professional counselor who believes real growth starts with curiosity, compassion, and a little bit of courage. Therapy with me is more than just managing symptoms—it’s about building a life that feels balanced, resilient, and truly yours. Throughout my life, I have had a desire to help others. So, at the ripe of age of 50 I went back to graduate school to pursue my life-long dream of becoming a counselor. My unique blend of life experience, contemporary education, and a passion for helping others allows me to deeply understand and guide clients toward meaningful change. Here are some adjectives people use to describe me: caring, fun-loving, quirky, accepting, easy-to-talk-to, open-minded, compassionate, adventurous, warm, engaging, pleasant, tender-hearted, curious, empathetic. Clients often share that they “feel heard” and that “you get it.”

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!

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.

Looking for therapy usually means something inside you is asking for relief, clarity, or a place to finally exhale.

Hello! I’m Kavina Hall-McLeod, though you’re welcome to call me Kavina or Ms. K. I’m a Licensed Psychotherapist dedicated to helping children and families navigate complex emotions, strengthen relationships, and move through life’s most challenging moments with confidence and clarity. I recognize that each individual and family system is unique, and I draw from a curated blend of evidence-based therapeutic approaches to support meaningful and lasting growth. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Sociology from the University of Oregon and a master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Southern California, where I was honored with the Order of Arete—USC’s highest award for graduate students who demonstrate exceptional leadership and impactful service to the university and the broader community.

These experiences have enriched my clinical perspective and allow me to provide high-level, nuanced care to the clients I serve. Beyond my professional training, I’m a wife, mother of three (including a neurodivergent child), daughter, sister, and former scholarship collegiate athlete. These roles bring a grounded, real-life understanding of resilience, balance, and the many layers that shape family life.

You might look like you’re holding it together on the outside, but inside you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure of yourself. Maybe you’re constantly second-guessing your decisions, stuck in people-pleasing patterns, or trying to make sense of relationships that left you feeling confused, dismissed, or emotionally drained. I work with women who are tired of pushing through and ready to understand what’s actually underneath their anxiety, self-doubt, or emotional exhaustion. Many of my clients have experienced emotionally unsafe or invalidating relationships, whether that showed up in family dynamics, romantic partnerships, or long-term relational stress that slowly chipped away at their sense of self-trust. You don’t need to label your experiences as “trauma” to belong here. If something shaped how safe you feel, how you relate to others, or how you see yourself, it matters. My goal is to help you feel more grounded in your body, clearer in your decisions, and more connected to who you really are. Therapy with me is collaborative, honest, and paced with care. You don’t need to have the right words or a clear plan. We’ll figure things out together. I offer in-person therapy in Dallas and virtual therapy across Texas.

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.

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.

Elizabeth has over 14 years of experience working with children, teens, and adults in health care and mental health settings.

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.
