Jennifer Leos
You're feeling stressed, down and maybe a bit anxious as you try to navigate this new world we are finding ourselves in. Reaching out for support takes courage and it's a responsibility I do not take lightly. I am a licensed counselor with more than 15 years of experience working as a therapist with families, individuals and in group settings. I have worked with clients who have a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues and parenting concerns. I have also helped many people who are struggling with self confidence. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and psychodynamic counseling. I am a firm believer that a one-size-fits-all approach is not effective and believe in tailoring a treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Most importantly, I believe in EMPOWERING my clients. I look forward to working with you to see how I can best support you. To get started, simply click the "Work with Me" tab.

Leah Pavela-Mullins
I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience in helping people find solutions to their problems. Over the years, I have been told by clients that they really feel that I am listening to them and trying to understand what is going on in their lives and how they feel. Clients have also told me that they do not feel any sense of judgment, but rather that I accept them for who they are and where they are in their life’s journey. My style is empathetic and solution focused. I will spend time asking you questions in order to get to know you and try to find out what is at the heart of your issue. Together, we will talk about possible avenues you may want to take, or changes you may want to consider. I may give you some “homework” assignments…things to write out or think about, worksheets to complete, or even techniques/exercises to practice in your own time so that some of what we discuss in our sessions is reinforced. Most of all, I will be an objective listener, helping you to gain insight into what is going on with you, so that you are able to make the choices and changes you want to, in your own time. I look forward to working with you!

Bryan Young
Welcome to BetterHelp. For 15 years, I ask all my clients to jsut take a breath,I’ve offer some water before intake—whether in hospitals, rehab centers, college counseling centers, or private practice. I’ve come to see that how someone reacts to genbuiun concern has to do with how long they have gone without conncetion on their terms. Together, we work to move you away from confusion and towards a balance of self-awareness and situational awareness, while addressing your cocenrns realted to waht you are going through as well as ADHD, anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, and low motivation, and encouraging intentional growth in their relationship with themselves and their everyday relationships. I also support those navigating depression, PTSD, CPTSD, and sexual or substance addiction, equpiing them to live on purpose, not just reaction. Therapy is genuine, practical, and effective relationship—built around your strengths and shaped by your concerns and how you express them. It would be an honor to equip you in becoming your most grounded and resilient self. Warmly, Bryan Young, LPC

Chris Goetz
My initial training as a therapist was in premarital and marriage counseling, a vital part of my practice that to this day I enjoy very much. I have approximately 20 years of experience and am licensed in the state of Texas. In addition to counseling couples, I have also worked with persons coming out of the sex industry. It is my passion to work with those who struggle with severe trauma and emotional abuse, as well as major depressive disorders, bipolar I & II, schizoaffective, co-occurring and substance abuse disorders. I have a great deal of experience working with dissociative, borderline and personality disorders. I am well-versed and extremely comfortable working with persons of different cultures. My motto is, “reveal the root, expose the lie and heal the wounded spirit.” I utilize a trauma-informed, person-centered, psychodynamic approach in therapy and often incorporate CBT, DBT and mindfulness techniques. I strive to meet the unique and individual needs of each client and adjust my approach accordingly. I am a certified revisioning practitioner, a technique that simulates re-attachment for grief resolution and ego-integration and am certified by the FBI National Academy in resiliency training. I also enjoy training local police departments throughout the Metroplex in critical incident and mental health orientation trainings. I truly consider it an honor and a privilege to partner with you in your journey towards wholeness. My goal is to help you become all that you were created to be!

Nat Pacini
My approach to therapy follows a simple format delivered with the utmost respect and enthusiasm. I must earn your trust. This is supposed to help you. My communication style is generally void of jargon, tired sayings or "psychobabble". I tend to follow Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a model. Initially some mutual understanding of the problem must be established. Definition fosters clarity; clarity strengthens meaning; meaning empowers solutions. The goal is for both of us to understand more fully just what it is about your situation that makes it a problem. For many this discussion alone brings a bit of relief. It feels good to be heard and understood. Secrets, however, about your life, about you, about what you think, must remain secrets to the extent that you are more comfortable with them being your secrets. I will not venture there. You will learn that somethings are irrevocably secrets and nobody can ever know. I will teach you how to protect those secrets, and their effects, and only you will decide, and under what circumstances, which secrets, if any, you will ever release, including to me. Next is the process of generating effective solutions. Some will discover that the hard work of therapy begins here. One starts to seriously consider what they must do to ameliorate that problem that we began to understand earlier. Then we choose our course of action. This is difficult. I will help you. We will make a plan. We execute the plan. Did it help? Yes, then what do we do next? No, then we decide which previous step we need to refine. There may have been a problem we failed to identify sooner. We have learned something important though. I keep in mind the expense required of you. I will go month to month with the goal of setting you up for success in your life in one to two months if possible. There will be an amount of work you will do. The beneficial effects of this work you will soon know. The techniques used are time honored and supported by research and experience. There is a vast amount of resources to explore. Or we make new ones. I received my education from the University of Texas at Austin and was awarded Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from the University of Houston-Clear Lake in 1986. I spent over 20 years in an in-patient facility in Texas as an Associate Clinical Psychologist. I have served as therapist to individuals from diverse backgrounds and with unique challenges. Some of the people I have worked with, in an alliance to make their lives at the very least tolerable, are among the coolest and most admirable humans I have ever known. I owe them a lot for the skills I bring here.

Is BetterHelp right for me?
One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a therapist is the validation and active listening they can provide.

Therapists in your city can support you toward a healthier emotional state, regardless of your mental health, life concerns, or healing needs.
