Kathleen Eager-Ariz
We live in busy times with many responsibilities as students, workers, children, and as a parent, or any combination of these. It is easy to become overworked, set high expectations of ourselves, and can become exhausted with our own efforts, struggling to find purpose, optimism, and motivation. I believe that when we slow down and have someone to check in with, we can find our way back to what we believe is our path, our purpose, and/or be more present in our lives. Checking in with our habits, behaviors and our emotions and intuition can tell us if and when we are thriving in life. I also believe in the resilience and capacity for growth within every individual, however, sometimes due to trauma or patterns of behavior, we become stuck. One may know their behavior is unhealthy or preventing growth, yet unaware of how to change. The process of therapy is exploring what is stopping you from living your best life and offering support and guidance to make changes. I have experience helping clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional dysregulation, adjustment to life transitions, relationship issues, and parenting concerns. My therapeutic style is collaborative, person-centered, and solution focused. I am friendly, passionate, optimistic, and show up authentically in the therapy room. I frequently use a psychodynamic approach, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT/DBT/ACT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), tailored to meet the unique needs of each client.

Monica Giuffre
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with extensive experience working with clients across the lifespan, from ages 3 to 75, and with diverse backgrounds and various challenges. I used to provide couples and marital counseling, as well as family and group counseling, where I served as both a facilitator and co-facilitator in various therapeutic settings. However, I currently only focus on individual counseling, which I have the most experience in. Throughout my career, I have supported clients facing a wide range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, low self-esteem, self-harm, trauma, grief, career struggles, codependency, narcissism, and ADHD. I also work with individuals navigating autism, addiction, substance use, gender identity, eating disorders, social anxiety, sexuality, neurodivergence, CPTSD, and various types/forms of abuse. My therapeutic style is warm and person-centered, emphasizing a nonjudgmental and interactive space where clients can take the lead. I believe clients are the true experts in their lives, so my role is to walk alongside them as a supportive guide, offering unconditional positive regard and encouragement in their journey of self-discovery. Understanding that each client’s path is unique, I tailor my approach to honor their individual experiences and needs. Rather than adopting a “one size fits all” approach, I draw from a blend of therapeutic modalities, including cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, narrative, dialectical behavioral, exposure, humanistic, psychodynamic, interpersonal, art, emotionally focused, and rational-emotive therapies. Together, we’ll shape our dialogue and develop a treatment plan that best aligns with your unique needs, honoring your goals and helping you overcome any obstacles in your way.
