I’m Ashley Marie, founder of Attuned Hearts Counseling, and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist for the state of Texas. I consider it a sacred privilege to walk with couples and individuals as they find healing and learn to connect deeply with themselves and others. Outside of the therapy space, I’m a wife, a mom to both human kids & fur-kids (dogs), an ADHDer, and a yoga instructor. One of my favorite things is continuing education. I am obsessive about trainings and keeping up on the latest research. In addition to being slightly obsessed with becoming the very best therapist possible for my clients, I enjoy time with my family, the ocean, running, yoga, and all things theatre arts.

I have been working with clients since 2017 in private practice as well as family advocacy centers. I opened the doors of McHam Family Therapy in 2024 so that new therapists had a place to practice their skills and offer affordable care to the community. I completed my degree in Marriage and Family Therapy through Abilene Christian University and now teach as an adjunct program clinical supervisor in their Marriage and Family Therapy Masters program. When I'm not in the therapy room, I am enjoying life with my husband and three kids. We enjoy camping, video games and family movie night!

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 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 have been seeing clients since 2016, and am a LPC supervisor. I opened LiveWell counseling, along with my husband, and 2019. Our first location is in Amarillo, and Dallas is our second location.

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 am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (Texas and Colorado) and a Board Certified Executive Coach. I completed a Bachelor of Science degree at Grand Canyon University , a Master of Divinity and Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy at Fuller Theological Seminary.

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.

Hi I'm Shanna my passion for this work comes from a deep conviction: it only takes ONE PERSON in ONE GENERATION to change THE REST OF THEIR FAMILY LINEAGE. I truly believe in the power of you, and I get fired up when a new client reaches out, ready to tackle their traumas and take control of their life. I’m here to help you make peace with the past, find strength in the present, and bravely step into your future. ‍My path to becoming a therapist began with a natural knack for mediation and empathy, stemming from my own experiences growing up in a dysfunctional family. I dove into graduate work at Texas Woman's University, driven by a simple truth: 'I loved people.' Through my own journey of healing via therapy, reading lot's of books, a loving relationship with God and 12-Step programs, I gained profound insights into transforming personal challenges into powerful catalysts for change. Now, as a business owner, I am a living testament to post-traumatic growth, and I live to see others turn the ashes of their past into a beautiful, thriving present. My therapeutic approach is highly personalized, molding a range of powerful methods to fit your specific needs. I work hard to pay attention to and appreciate what happens in the room – because so much is missed when the body is ignored. We believe the body speaks a language all on its own, and we work to give it a voice in the room to facilitate deeper healing.

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’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 are struggling with emotional pain from life’s many difficulties, you have come to the right place. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, loss, or a difficult relationship, For over 20 years, I have helped clients get to more peace, joy and stability in their lives. I work with clients all over Texas and Louisiana. Some areas I specialize in are: Relationships, Parenting, Grief and Loss, Depression and Anxiety. I use Hypnotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy to help people enrich and improve their lives with new thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that work better for their happiness. Sometimes friends family just aren't enough to help you make sense of life's problems. You need an experienced counselor with "no strings attached". I'm glad you are taking this step to find a therapist to become a "healthier and happier you". Give me a call to discuss how together we can help you create the life you want and deserve. You are worth it!

I earned my B.S. degrees in Psychology and Sociology from Texas A&M University (gig ‘em!) in 2019 and my M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Hardin-Simmons University in 2022. A little about me outside of the therapy room: I’m a proud ISFJ and Enneagram 6w5—aka “The Defender.” I’m a big reader and will often recommend both fiction and nonfiction books to my clients. When I’m not reading, you can find me spending time with my family, hanging out with my pup, crocheting, or planning my next trip (traveling is one of my favorite things!).

My schedule offers flexibility, including evenings and weekends because I know life doesn’t pause when we need help the most.
