Hi my name is Debbie and thank you for looking at my profile. I am a warm and supportive therapist. I believe that therapy helps people find their "true" self - the person they really are and were before negative things made them think they were something else. I work together with clients to make goals for therapy and believe that the client is the expert on themselves and that is why they need to be listened to. It is an honor and privilege for a client to trust me . I am good listener and might even throw in some humor, as appropriate. I believe that everyone is entitled to be treated with dignity and respect and the relationship the client and therapist have is of utmost importance. I hold a Master of Science degree from the University of Texas at Arlington. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas and in Mississippi. I have experience with anxiety, depression, abuse, neglect, trauma, as well as adoption, foster care, parenting, and blended families.

Hi, I am Tiaira Willis- Haynes. I have been providing therapeutic services for over 5 years. I am currently a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who is Nationally Certified. I received my Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2018. My favorite theoretical orientation is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I graciously believe how we think and behave plays a role in our current struggles. I also utilize Solution Focused Therapy when problems need to be resolved quickly. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my husband and loved ones. I started this helping journey when I first entered college. As I navigated my way into adulthood, I found myself to always be the person others were drawn to in their time of need. I then learned my strongest therapeutic skills were being openminded while listening and showing empathy towards others. A high percentage of my caseload involves those struggling with anxiety, anger, depression, family or relationship conflict, domestic violence, parenting, life skills, and stress. The joy I get when I realize I am helping someone makes this career worthwhile. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support, encourage, listen, and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who provides a supportive, respectful, and collaborative space where clients can explore challenges and work toward meaningful change. My approach is grounded in empathy, cultural awareness, and evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, motivational interviewing, and strengths-based interventions. I believe therapy is most effective when clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to develop the tools needed to navigate life’s difficulties. My specialty focuses on working with adults who are experiencing the long-term effects of childhood trauma. Many of the clients I work with struggle with issues such as abandonment wounds, rejection, low self-worth, shame, emotional neglect, and difficulty trusting others. These early experiences can also show up later in life as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, people-pleasing, fear of vulnerability, difficulty setting boundaries, and patterns of seeking validation from others. In therapy, we work together to understand how these early experiences may still be influencing current thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and develop healthier ways of responding and relating to yourself and others. I also focus on men’s mental health. Many men carry emotional pain silently due to cultural expectations around strength, independence, and self-reliance. I provide a space where men can openly explore challenges such as emotional disconnection, identity struggles, relationship difficulties, stress, and the pressure to perform or provide. My goal is to help men reconnect with their emotional lives, develop healthier coping strategies, and build stronger relationships. My background also includes working with individuals recovering from addiction and those rebuilding their lives after difficult life circumstances. Because of this experience, I approach therapy with a strong belief in resilience and the human capacity for growth and healing. Together, we focus on increasing self-awareness, strengthening emotional regulation, and building practical skills that support long-term well-being and healthier relationships.
