Hello, I am excited that you are considering me to come alongside you during your counseling experience. I have worked as a Licensed Professional Counselor for the past 3 years. I received my Bachelor of Science Degree in Criminal Justice from West Texas A&M Univeristy in 2008 and my Master of Arts in Counseling from Wayland Baptist University in 2013. I have experience working with adolescents and families navigating the criminal justice system. I have also received specialized training in trauma focused modalities to include EMDR and TF-CBT. My primary therapy approach is CBT, but I find other modalities such as Solution Focused, Functional Family Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to be equally effective with different clients. Regardless of treatment modality, I believe the effectiveness of a client-therapist relationship is grounded in the ability for trust to thrive. The ability to listen and to process the exact concern of the client allows me as the clinician to offer an effective treatment. It has been my experience as a therapist, as well as a client, that most of us can identify an appropriate solution for our current situation, once we ascertain the exact problem we are facing. Generally we are often too close or to enmeshed in the situation to maintain an objective perspective. As a clinician, I believe the ability to help facilitate the discovery of a more rational perspective is perhaps the most critical and beneficial service I can provide to you as my client. Thank you and I look forward to working with you.

Hello! My name is Jon Richard, LPC. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who works in Austin, Texas. After graduating from the Masters of Arts in Counseling (MAC) program at St. Edward's University, I completed an internship at Capital Area Counseling (CAC) which is the most rewarding chapter of my adult life. At CAC, I discovered my therapeutic "voice" while counseling a diverse sample of the population (those who suffered from addiction, gender dysphoria, divorce, the harsh realities of youth and middle age). By "therapeutic voice" I mean that a person-centered approach was congruent with my easy-going personality. I felt more authentic with clients when we engaged in a loose, organic conversations (sometimes informed by cognitive behavioral therapy). Since that time, I have gravitated toward Solution Focused Brief Therapy (though I cannot market myself as an official SFBT therapist). I find SFBT to be particularly liberating because it leads with inspiring the client by asking them about their desired outcome. Once I learn what difference you would like to notice in yourself, my line of questions will focus on your previous experience with happiness/success. The more vividly you can describe your history with the desired outcome, the more possible it seems. The popular saying amongst SFBT experts like Elliott Connie, MA, LPC is "It's simple, but it's not easy". I cannot promise "easy", but I will say that the journey will be meaningful and invigorating.

Hi, I’m Liliana Palacios, LPC. For nearly two decades, I’ve had the privilege of sitting with people during some of the most vulnerable and meaningful moments of their lives. Whether you’re feeling stuck in painful relationship patterns, overwhelmed by life’s responsibilities, or simply longing for more peace and connection, therapy can be a place to slow down, reflect, and begin moving forward. I work with individuals and couples who want to better understand themselves and their relationships. Many of the couples I see are struggling with communication breakdowns, trust issues, emotional distance, or the lingering impact of past hurts. Together, we explore the patterns that keep partners feeling misunderstood and help them rebuild connection, respect, and emotional safety. Originally from Mexico City, I began my career studying Organizational Psychology before moving to the United States as a young mother. While raising my two daughters, I completed my Master’s in Professional Counseling and began volunteering with crisis services and community mental health programs. These early experiences shaped my belief that healing happens when people feel truly heard, respected, and supported. Over the years, I’ve worked with survivors of trauma, domestic violence, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. I also have extensive experience supporting parents of children on the autism spectrum and caregivers navigating the emotional journey of caring for aging or ill loved ones. As a fully bilingual therapist (English and Spanish), I am passionate about providing culturally responsive care and creating a space where clients can express themselves in the language that feels most natural and comfortable. I am a Nationally Certified Counselor, Clinical Trauma Professional, Certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist, and Certified Mindfulness-Informed Professional, with additional training in grief and trauma-informed care. While training and credentials are important, I believe the most meaningful part of therapy is the relationship we build together. My style is warm, honest, and collaborative. I will support you, challenge you when needed, and celebrate your progress along the way. You don’t have to figure everything out alone. I would be honored to walk alongside you as you move toward greater clarity, resilience, and connection. — Liliana Palacios, LPC

My undergraduate Degree is in Physical Education/English from the University of Texas/Arlington. I taught High School English and coached women's Volleyball, Basketball, Track and Cross Country before completing my Masters Degree in Counseling from the University of Texas/Denton. I find that my teaching and coaching experience has greatly enhanced my skills as a counselor/therapist. I connect easily with people and gain their trust rather quickly and am able to teach them and motivate them to become their very best. I have experience working with Military personnel and their family members as a Department of Defense Counselor and as a Military Family Life Counselor. I have experience working with substance abuse having provided counseling for persons ordered to treatment by the courts. I have been providing counseling services for over twenty seven years both in private practice and as a full time employee, first with Dallas County Probation, then Department of Defense, then MHN as a consultant with the Military community. I have a very eclectic approach to therapy. I have to see what the client resonates with then offer that for them. I believe every person deserves to be safe and happy and i give my very best to help them achieve this. Because I have done a lot of trauma work i do a lot of work around the inner child. When you are raised in a dysfunctional homeor have experienced abuse and/or trauma the inner child, the keeper of the feelings often shows up to add a wrinkle to your present life. It is necessary to connect with the inner child and do some healing work in order to be happy in your present life. Sometimes it is hard but the end result is a completely happy person, comfortable in their own skin and in control of their emotions.

Hi, I’m Alex! I’m a therapist who believes therapy should feel like a real conversation: a place where you can talk openly about what’s going on in your life and start making sense of it with someone who’s curious, supportive, and not here to judge you. A lot of the people I work with are thoughtful, self-aware people who feel stuck in certain areas of life....whether that’s anxiety, depression, dating / relationships, family, big life decisions, or just feeling unsure about what direction to move in next. Life can be really hard, and tough seasons often come with a lot of emotions. Therapy gives you a space to talk through what you're going through, make sense of those feelings, and start figuring out healthier ways to move forward. My style is collaborative, curious, and honest. I try to create a space where you can think out loud, explore what’s going on in your life, and leave sessions with new perspective, practical insight, and a little more relief than when you walked in. In our work together, we’ll slow things down and look at what’s actually happening beneath the surface — the thoughts, reactions, and patterns that can keep people feeling stuck. From there we can start figuring out what might need to shift so you can move forward in a way that feels more clear and grounded. If you feel like this might be a good fit, I’d be happy to connect and see how I can support you.
