About me
Hello,
My name is Carisa Bustillos Givens, and I have been counseling clients from a wide range of backgrounds for the past 15 years. I am a Professional Counselor licensed in Texas, focused on providing assistance with a wide range of concerns, including crisis, grief, loss and career counseling services and specializing in work and career-related stress, family challenges, blended families, women's and parents' issues, and mediation services. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating every individual with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and solution-focused counseling, and I will tailor our communication and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
You are courageous for seeking and working towards a more fulfilling and happier life. Sometimes taking the first steps towards a change can cause anxiety or nervousness. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

She is so great. I don’t have the word to describe how great of a therapist she is. I’ve been seeing her for a year now and she understands me in so many ways
Really enjoyed my sessions with Carisa. She is supportive, good listener and really helps her clients get to the bottom of issues.
Carissa is very caring and always knows exactly what to say. She is supportive and I look forward to our sessions.
Carisa is friendly, supportive, and caring.
Clarissa is amazing at listening I am really enjoying my sessions with her
She makes me feel seen and heard. She’s great listener and she always offers a fresh perspective to things whilst also validating my feelings. I really appreciate her putting effort into helping me. After every session with her I feel enlightened.
She takes your goals seriously and will provide resources and assign assignments that align well with issues and goals.
I honestly feel like I have a real chance at healing once and for all.
Carisa is so kind and caring, she helps me realize things about myself and supports me completely. I’m so glad I found her, she helps me feel not so alone, like I matter and deserve the best. I would recommend her to anyone grieving or struggling, she is a light in the darkness!
I am new to therapy after of many years of self help. But after my son died suddenly, I felt the need to reach out to someone. Carisa hit the nail on the head by allowing me to recognise my complicated grief and it was as if a light went on in my head. I cannot recommend Carisa enough as she is grounded, open and made me feel safe from the onset. I enjoy my weekly sessions with Carisa and am truly grateful for all the support advice she has offered me to get back on track with my life.
I have really enjoyed my counseling sessions with carissa!
She is here to listen, understand, and provide things relevent and useful to your emotional, mental, and psychological state of mind. She doesn't skim through messages or spam random mental health content for the sake of it. She has a open mind as well as the ability to give you the safe space you've probably been needing from someone in a long while.
Excellent feedback. Very thoughtful, polite, and makes me feel safe.
