Hello! My name is Bettina Kell and I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Texas. I am also nationally certified as a therapist. I have 20 plus years of working in the field and have worked in the school system and private practice to help youth, individuals and families. I have experience in working with a wide range of concerns and mental health issues, including ADHD, anxiety/depression, grief/loss, trauma/abuse, anger management, parenting concerns and life changes among others. I am easy to talk with and aim to create a safe and non-judging environment for you. I'm experienced working with all age groups and of all backgrounds. My counseling approach ranges from Jungian therapy , solutions focused, cognitive behavior and rational-emotive. However, I focus on the client and tailor what is necessary to help you accomplish your goals in therapy. Welcome to the first step in making a positive change in your life. I'm here to help you work through difficult times and situations. I am committed to help you seek a more happy, meaningful and fulfilling life. I look forward to working with you!

Elaijia Eaton, LPC, LCMHC, LCDC, Life Enrichment Advisor (the non-conformist therapist) Introduction Hi you! I commend you for being here! Reaching out for support takes real courage, which is often the first step toward clarity. While, I’m not your typical therapist, a very modern and forever changing one, I respect diversity and the unique nature of humans. My approach is non-traditional, real, and grounded in the belief that change doesn’t have to look one way to work. It's not a linear process. We welcome Prochaska's Stages of Change here in whatever order it appears. However, clients can expect to be challenged, confronted, and held accountable. Readiness or lack thereof can impact the way one receives therapy, so we glide to the level of invasiveness relevant to the client. Collaboration is the unique skill used in therapy with me. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC) based in Texas. I’ve worked in the human services field for years—well before becoming fully licensed—supporting teens, adults, couples, and families across multiple systems. In the past, I worked full-time as a Family-Based Safety Service Specialist III, meaning daily tasks of working with children and families navigating high-stress, high-stakes situations. The high success rate of that work combined with the impact I have had with therapy clients deeply informs my practice. EXCITING-You get to be on the receiving end! Availability I’m currently accepting clients ages 16 and older for virtual counseling in Texas, South Carolina, and Vermont. Other states may soon be determined and will be discussed as things change. Who I Serve 
I work best with clients who often feel unseen in systems, families, traditional settings, school, friend groups, relationships, etc. This includes young adults, creatives, outliers, self-employed, unique minded folk (personality challenges), and individuals navigating complex personal, cultural, or systemic challenges. If you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship or identity concerns, addiction issues, pornography use, or are processing suicidal thoughts (non-crisis) or personality challenges, we should consult. What to Expect
Therapy with me Collaboration, honesty, communication, and authenticity. My space is open, multicultural, and judgment-free. I bring empathy, directness, and clarity—but you steer the ship. Think of me as your passenger seat navigator while you drive toward your goals. You bring the truth, I bring the pen and pad helping you to realign yourself with YOURSELF. Boundaries Matter
 All sessions are HIPAA-compliant and scheduled through the Betterhelp platform, its affiliates, and its offerings. Communication is limited to session time unless otherwise discussed. The text message option will likely be used for convenience-scheduling, tardiness, mishaps, homework topic reminders, technical issues, etc. To protect the integrity of clients, video call is my go-to in the client-counselor relationship. My role is to hold the canvas while the client paint through a collaborative relationship. Therapy works best when both the client and therapist show up fully and consistently. The therapist is better able to help clients when clients are comfortable sharing needs in an authentic fashion. Modalities • Client-Centered Therapy • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) • Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) • Reality Therapy • Eye Movement De-sensitization Therapy (EMDR) (requires consultation) Salutation Your smile holds a story—and I’m here to help you unpack yours with care, counseling and therapy skills, and mutual respect. This space is yours, and it starts with one step.
