Shonda Harris
I am an LPC-S, trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with wide range of experience. I have many years of experience working with those with mental health issues such as depression, bi-polar disorder, anxiety, and ADHD. I will help you to understand your diagnosis and how to build coping skills. I also work with individuals experiencing relationship problems, struggling to reach goals, or seeking behavioral changes. I will help you understand the relationship of your thoughts, actions, and feelings. We will work to find what changes you want to make and how to best make that happen. I enjoy working with diverse populations and have a non-judgmental approach. It is important to me that you feel safe and free to express yourself.

Chatone Strickland
Hello! My name is Chatoné Strickland and I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Texas. I love doing therapy and find joy in helping people become aligned with their true selves. I believe every person has the ability to change their lives. My role in therapy is to help you clarify your aspirations, hopes and goals then identify and address the barriers that prevent you from acting in alignment with them. I consider myself the guide, and you the expert. As the guide, I will help you examine your thoughts, behaviors, beliefs and actions. I will teach you ways to cope, manage and problem solve effectively. I practice with care, empathy and from a strengths based approach. My goal is to see you live your best life! "Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it".-Rumi

Michelle Melton
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor in the state of Texas and have 14 years of experience, with the last 6 of those years including clinical supervision for incoming licensed professionals. I have worked with clients struggling with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, personality disorders and trauma. I have also worked with families and couples who are having parenting, relationship, or infidelity issues and LGBTQ+. A particular niche has also been to work with incoming college students (both young and old) in guiding them into a focused and clear college and career path. My therapy style is gently, warm, and non-judgmental and I tailor sessions to each specific client. I primarily utilize Person Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy. I believe the best therapist will "work themselves out of a job" by empowering the client to become their own best ally instead of their own worst enemy. In other words, with proper support, I have complete faith in your ability to learn, grow, transform and rise above your current problems. I am already proud of you for taking charge of your own mental health and taking positive steps for your future. I look forward to working with you!

I have experience in helping individual clients with stress and anxiety, trauma, PTSD, and abuse, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I also have experience working with career difficulties. A lot of my experience is with military service members and their spouses. In couples therapy, the focus is on the relationship rather than the individual. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey. DISCLAIMER: There are no guarantees of the results of therapy. While every effort will be made to assist clients in obtaining their therapy goals, there are certain risks involved. These risks include, among others: emotional and/or mental anguish; loss of the relationship; loss of status within the relationship; and incompatibility of needs, goals, or desires. Alternatives to therapy may include: self-help books; support groups; workshops and seminars; psychiatry; clinical psychology; or hospital admission. The decision to utilize one of these, or the therapy outlined by the therapist, is solely that of the client(s).

Tiffany Carpenter
I spent my first fourteen years of clinical social work working with children and families in a residential care setting. I have experience in treating trauma and attachment wounds. I believe that a person’s intrauterine experience and history of adverse events and/or stressors can shape one's life – creating unwanted physical sensations, emotions, depression, anxiety, and trouble building and sustaining healthy relationships with others. I am trained in EMDR therapy and use EMDR as a tool to aid in decreasing stressful feelings and experiences. I have specialized training and experience to facilitate EMDR with children and teens and am equipped to help children process trauma in a way they can understand, even when they don’t have the cognitive ability to explain their experience. I enjoy working with all ages and have experience with family counseling. I have years of training in Dr. Perry's NMT as well as TBRI. In addition, I have experience working with adults, first responders, and couples. I treat issues related to, but not limited to, attachment and adoption, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, self esteem, and abuse. I believe we were all made to live in community and connection and am excited to work with you.
