Hi my name is Tavia. I'm a Texas State Board Licensed Professional Counselor. I hold a Master's Degree in Vocational Rehabilitation Counseling with an emphasis in Ethnic Minorities from Southern University and A&M College. During my academic work, I was inducted in Chi Sigma Iota, an international honor society. I began my professional counseling journey, working with individuals with disabilities both physical and mental specifically targeting workforce adjustments. Later in my career, I received additional education to provide clinical psychotherapy to adolescents, adults, and families with diverse backgrounds and ranges of concern. In addition, I have formal training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). My specialties includes creating strategies and support building to address disability issues, trauma, work/life balance, depression, and anxiety provoking thoughts. I believe in a holistic and solution-focused approach to treatment- partnering with individuals to exceed their life goals and feel better about themselves and the future ahead. My therapeutic style involves providing insight, strategies, and realistic tools whenever possible to help you have a workable blueprint for the following days, months, and years to come. If this aligns with your plan, then I look forward to hearing from you soon. I'm thrilled you took the initial step to seek support for a more purposefully and happier life! I'm a firm believer that change happens we match desire with our conscious imagination. If you are ready to take that step I am here to walk along side while supporting and empowering you. Total wellness and restoration, Tavia J.

I have worked with clients of varying diagnoses, including depression, anxiety, bipolar, PTSD, psychosis, as well as substance abuse and dual diagnosis. Most of my clients have been adults, but, in addition, I have over two years of experience working with families, including couples, parents, children, and chronically suicidal teens. I have used all kinds of creative interventions, including art, music, animal-assisted, Tai Chi, yoga, mindfulness, writing, and life narrative. My primary goal is to help you identify, manage, and work through any emotional or behavioral problems that impede your quality of life. My role as a therapist is not to judge, but rather to listen and provide support while you work to face problems head-on. I will guide you to navigate to the root cause of your personal crisis, while learning valuable coping skills that will help you stabilize your mood and behaviors

Hello, I'm Steve Davis and I'm a Licensed therapist in Utah and Texas. I practice multiple modalities for therapy, making sure each client has a customized treatment route and plan for meeting their goals. My approach to providing therapy starts with you and what you want-and then a solution focused plan to get you there. This isn't the only way, however, and we can integrate multiple ways of mental health care into your life. Sometimes we know we don't feel right, but don't have all the pieces to know more-and that's where I come in. It's hard to take a snapshot of my past and current clients as they have very different needs and problems. I work most often with depression, anxiety, trauma-related disorders, family and relationship problems, but this is not the limit. If you are having trouble understanding your thoughts or feelings, we can work together with this too. I strive to create a welcoming atmosphere where there is empathy, accountability and consideration for each client. I associate and use analogies frequently so things don't feel or sound overly-clinical, and encourage laughter and humor to accentuate the experience. I want therapy to be a place to look forward to. A first session with me will consist of a lot of questions-but it won't feel like an interrogation. We can get started working right away, or I can take a more information-gathering role. Don't be afraid to tell me what you need.
