I specialize in depression, grief and loss, crisis counseling, addiction issues and relationship issues. If you are an individual or a couple looking for a serious, get to the truth of the issue, healing and personal advancement, please contact me for immediate support. As your therapist, I begin with a Client-Centered approach with a mutual commitment to yielding strong, meaningful and lasting results. Using Mindfulness and classic psychodynamic interventions, you will build awareness around the impact of your thinking. These tools can and will help support the change you seek. I have worked with people attempting to become clean and sober for the past 30 years and feel that direct and honest communication is the key to success. Facing addiction, be it alcohol or drug, is a courageous challenge and a challenge that ongoing support can help. Don’t be hesitant to ask questions to address addiction problems.

Welcome to my page! My name is Jessica and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas. I hold a Bachelors of Arts degree in Psychology from the University of Texas in Arlington and a Master of Science degree in Counseling and Development from Texas Woman’s University. I have been counseling for the better part of 9 years now working with trauma, anxiety, self-esteem, parenting issues, ADHD and life changes in a variety of setting including non-profit, private practice, inpatient and in the school district. I believe in a person centered approach where you, the client, are in control of your therapy session. I am here to guide you through your most difficult times and help you to learn how to cope with and work through each of your struggles. Counseling is a journey not a sprint, some things may only need a few sessions whereas deeper issues may take longer. I use techniques from many different theories including Cognitive Behavioral, Trauma Focused, Trust Based Relational Interventions, and Adlerian. I believe the therapeutic relationship is a very important part of therapy so to make sure this is a good match, here is a little about me. I'm a mother of a two small children, and a Basset Hounds, a wife, daughter, a sibling to four younger brothers and an aunt. My family is very important to me and a big part of my life. I'm currently running a private practice called Mind Squared Counseling to offer better focused online therapy to individuals, which you can find more information on Psychology today. I believe anyone has the ability to change, that people are stronger, braver and more resilient than they realize, sometimes, and it is part of my job to help you find this within yourself. Even if the world is falling apart, together we can begin to piece it back together. I love helping others learn about and understand themselves better, so don't hesitate to ask questions or let me know if there is something that you don't understand. You are not alone and together you can do this!

Hello and welcome! My name is Stacie and I am a licensed professional counselor in Texas. Over the past 7 years I have worked extensively in various mental health settings all the way from outpatient clinics to partial hospitalization programs to inpatient psychiatric hospitals. My expertise include working with individuals who have depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, psychosis, LGBT issues, family conflict, and issues related to self esteem/self worth. Prior to working in mental health I was a school teacher. My time as a teacher made a huge impact on my life and taught me some valuable lessons. Given my experience as a teacher, I enjoy when the opportunity presents itself in counseling to do just that, teach. I don’t believe counseling should be some mysterious experience so I want you to understand what we are doing and why we are doing it. Ultimately having that understanding will allow you to apply that knowledge to everyday life and use long after counseling is over. Every individual is different with their own experiences and as your counselor I would work with you to tailor our time together to fit your needs and goals because at the end of the day this is about you and your happiness right? I look forward to helping and I will be right there with you every step of the way!

Hello and welcome! My name is Shari Stark, and I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor, with a Supervisor Endorsement, and a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor in the state of Texas. I am also a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida and a National Certified counselor. I have over 20 years of experience in working in mental health. My experience includes private practice, Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy, nonprofit, and substance abuse. I also spent 18 years in public education as a teacher, school counselor, and therapeutic counselor. I worked in the field of domestic violence for 5 years. During my time in private practice, I mostly worked with couples, blended families, and individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, grief, anger, boundaries, and family of origin. I also worked with First Responders. As your therapist, it is an honor to work with you on your journey towards personal growth, empowerment, and to assist you in discovering mindsets and stumbling blocks that are preventing you from reaching your full potential. My counseling style is warm, compassionate, respectful, and encouraging while maintaining the strictest confidentiality while building mutual trust. My primary approach is cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused, and client-centered; however, I utilize other counseling modalities in an effort to meet clients where they are. I also provide Christian counseling for those clients seeking a Biblical perspective. To best serve you, please know that I do not provide legal/court documentation, diagnosis, assessment, or treatment reports as I feel this is best achieved by seeing a counselor for in person sessions. Also, I know that some prefer texting as a form of counseling; however, I prefer to do sessions via video or phone call. In my free time, I enjoy spending time in nature, gardening, hiking, listening to music, reading, and volunteering. I have been a volunteer for over 20 years, which consisted of facilitating a grief support group, time spent in Stennis, MS after Hurricane Katrina, being a mentor for teens, but mostly volunteering with animal rescue groups and animal shelters. I wish you the very best in finding a counselor, who best suits your needs and who will provide you with the tools to help you gain a better perspective and live life to the fullest. You deserve this!

Hi! My name is Liliana Palacios, and I want to tell you that I've spent the last 17 years helping people from all walks of life through their troubles and successes, being their cheerleader and advisor through thick and thin alike. I am originally from Mexico City and lived there until I was 24. There, I went to college and earned a BS in Organizational Psychology. Moving to the United States as a young mother, I decided to focus my energy and efforts on being a mother to my two girls, but that didn't stop me from pursuing and earning my MA in Professional Counseling. While being a stay-at-home mom, I volunteered for several years at the local Mental Health Mental Retardation agency and as a crisis line phone volunteer with Contact Crisis Line. After finishing my education and becoming independently licensed, I started working with parents and children who had suffered abuse and women victims of domestic violence. Some of the issues that I have expertise in are relationship violence, childhood sexual abuse, sexual abuse, depression, anxiety, drug and alcohol abuse, marital problems, parenting coaching and training, delinquency in youth, and problems of childhood and adolescence. I have also facilitated domestic violence support groups for Hispanic victims and parenting classes in Spanish for parents of children and adolescents. Over the past 14 years, I have focused my work on advocating, assisting, and guiding parents of children on the autism spectrum in looking for services and support for themselves or their children. Previously, I worked closely with caregivers of elderly or ill loved ones during all the stages of caregiving and end-of-life concerns. I am a nationally certified counselor and clinical trauma professional, and I have trained extensively in grief counseling and therapeutics. Now, I believe that no matter how many fancy titles and certificates one might have, the success of a therapeutic relationship depends a lot on finding the right person for your current situation. I like to be warm, supportive, friendly, and open. Still, I will not sugarcoat or hesitate to tell my clients when I feel they are doing something that can bring them trouble or hurt them more than help. Therapy is a process of self-discovery, finding our inner strengths, and learning how to be happy, fulfilled, whole, and fully present for ourselves and our loved ones. I hope we have a chance to get to work together to get you to where you want and deserve to be! In good health, Liliana "It's not the load that breaks you down. It's how you carry it". Lena Thorne

Hello! My name is Rhonda Pupella, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in central Texas. I have been providing therapy for over 15 years. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, caregiving and self-esteem issues. I am a firm believer that we are beings who want healing in all aspects of ourselves and our life, which can create tension between our current situation and the changes we want or need to make. Often, we don't know how to make lasting changes. That change struggle is often too difficult to face without strong support and the realization that someone understands, supports and affirms your ability to learn new coping skills. My counseling approach is educational, and we begin with where you are emotionally now. I value treating everyone with respect and kindness. It takes courage to make changes, even positive ones. If you are ready to begin learning how, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working together!

I am a licensed professional therapist currently based in Texas. I graduated with a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy, with a certificate in Trauma Therapy. My experience includes working with couples, families, college students, and children from age 8-teens. I provide premarital counseling, marriage therapy, sex therapy, and individual therapy. I have worked with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, abuse, adoption issues, and adjustment disorders. My therapy style involves understanding the client from their point of view. I work from a holistic view, believing all systems of the body; physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual, help in the healing process. I especially love emotionally focused therapy and narrative therapy, but include other therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and family systems. I have been trained in EMDR and have found it can be utilized in many areas, but especially with trauma. Before becoming a therapist I worked as an RN for 20 years, graduating with my Bachelor's degree from Baylor University. Thirteen of those years were as a hospice nurse, so end of life care and grief counseling has been a big part of my life. I incorporate my medical background in the therapy process. I want to hear your story and look forward to working with you!
