About Katie


(She/Her/Hers)

As a young girl, my family experienced many hardships including my father passing away suddenly. I remember going to counseling and feeling so uncomfortable to open up and I feared being judged. I became a counselor to help others experiencing hardships and my goal is to offer a warm, comfortable environment free of judgment and bias. In my counseling practice, I am passionate about truly connecting with each client and family that I serve.

I enjoy working with children, teens, and young adults to overcome obstacles that are interfering in their daily lives and help them obtain a greater level of fulfillment. I have specialized training in Stress Reduction, Anxiety, Depression, Grief & Loss, Play Therapy, and Nutritional Therapy. I love working with clients on relationship struggles, childhood trauma, boundary setting, letting go of shame, and stress/anxiety. I utilize evidence based therapeutic approaches including Solution-Focused Therapy,  Attachment Theory, IFS/Parts work, and EFIT.

I am a Certified Mental Health Integrative Medicine Provider and use a holistic/naturopathic approach to mental health treatment giving me access to lab testing that other therapists may not have. I am passionate about my clients using nutritional therapy techniques alongside traditional talk therapy to improve their outcomes.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor and am also available to supervise LPC-Associates.

I am available during the day and in the evening and am happy to make accommodations to work with your schedule.

Navigating life’s unpredictable turns can take a toll on anyone’s mental health. Maybe you’re seeking understanding in a confusing time or hoping to be challenged and believed in. Whether you need some extra encouragement and a non-judgmental ear to listen or you feel completely lost and are searching for purpose, together we can accomplish your goals. I love helping people see other perspectives and possibilities they may have never considered. I believe everyone is capable of discovering and utilizing their inner strengths to get them to where they want to go.

I have experience working with children, teens, and young adults in various mental health settings. I incorporate solution-focused and person-centered approaches as well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to best fit each individual’s needs. Some of my specialties include depression, anxiety, stress management, and communication as well as setting healthy boundaries, increasing self-esteem and self-worth, finding purpose, and determining identity and values. I also enjoy working with parents to provide guidance in helping their children identify and appropriately express emotions.

Seeking help is the first step on the journey to healing and understanding. I would love to go on this journey with you or your child. As The Office’s Michael Scott said, “You have no idea how high I can fly.”

I received my Master of Education in Guidance Counseling and Professional Counseling from Texas Christian University and am a Licensed Professional Counselor.

About Leanne


(She/Her/Hers)

know that therapy can be uncomfortable or a hard process to trust for a teen or young adult. I grew up with four adopted siblings and intimately understand the unique challenges that youth face because of trauma or mental health issues. That’s why I prioritize making therapy an active and even sometimes fun experience. My goal is that young people want to come back to therapy and that they start to gain their OWN motivation to feel better. I provide individual therapy, crisis intervention, and parenting education in parent sessions. 

I work with middle-aged children, teens, and young adults. I love helping youth navigate the unique challenges that come with the developmental stage they are in. I help young people dealing with issues that make them feel misunderstood, stuck, or not good enough. I value providing a safe, confidential space for kids and teens, but encourage some parent involvement and parent solutions. 

When working with young adults I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and other quality of life challenges that come with this new life transition. I understand that this time of living comes with uncertainty, need for identity, and new relationship struggles. It’s a phase full of changes! This can impact your mood and quality of life. I want to help with overcoming those things that are holding you back from reaching your potential.

I conduct human-centered therapy and use emotion focused interventions. I am certified in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and also utilize Dialectical Behavior Therapy. My experience includes working in an inpatient behavioral hospital, juvenile detention centers, a high school, with Primary Care Providers, and in private practice!

I received my clinical Master’s of Social Work with a concentration in Child and Family Welfare from the University of Utah. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

About Cody


(He/Him/His)

Life is full of the sudden and unexpected. Oftentimes our feelings are overwhelming, and knowing where to begin can feel impossible. It is possible to encounter deep pain and still have meaning and hope in life. My interest in counseling began following the loss of my best friend to suicide. With help, I found hope, guidance, and healing. It was in these sessions that I began to understand the transformative power of therapy. Now, as a therapist, I am excited for the opportunity to help guide you through whatever you are facing.   

My approach to therapy begins with the therapeutic relationship.  Having a supportive, judgment-free environment allows you the opportunity to express your feelings freely and safely. Through our sessions, we will work together to alleviate symptoms of depression, anxiety, and identity conflict. My therapeutic approach centers around three models of treatment: Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).  By challenging our negative thoughts, learning new coping skills, and being true to ourselves, we can fundamentally transform our lives. 

My experience has taught me that identity, authenticity, and positive self-expression are vital to healthy living. It is for this reason that a lot of my professional work has centered on working with members of the LGBTQIA+ community and their families. The therapy room can provide a safe space to explore all aspects of identity and what role you hope it will play in your life. 

I am also passionate about suicide prevention and various forms of grief. I have supervised a suicide hotline and led grief support groups for families impacted by suicide. I have also worked in hospice, helping individuals come to terms with their illness, and helping families prepare for the death of their loved one. Oftentimes, support is limited for the grieving. I understand, firsthand, how difficult it is to process the loss of a loved one and the complex emotions involved in working through it.    

There is hope in therapy. I look forward to walking with you on your journey through life.  

I received my Masters of Social Work with a specialization in mental health and substance abuse from the University of Texas at Arlington and am available for virtual sessions.

About Mindy


(She/Her/Hers)

“A lot of what looks dead is really just biding its time” ~ Dickon says this to Mary in the Broadway musical adaption of A Secret Garden. As you may know, this children’s story describes the harsh childhood of a young girl named Mary who discovers an abandoned garden on her uncle’s property. Although the garden initially appears to be dead, Dickon and a few other friends teach Mary that with regular attention and nourishment, it can be made beautiful again. The children work hard to revive the garden and, in the process, help the whole family come back to life. 

To me, this story is a beautiful metaphor for the counseling process. Perhaps you have experienced one or many of the losses, traumas, injustices, diagnoses, changes, or confusing circumstances that can make life difficult. Perhaps there are aspects of your life that for various reasons, like Mary’s garden, you have neglected or locked away. No matter the types of challenges you face or how daunting they feel, I believe there exists in you an indestructible vitality ready to be revived and strengthened. Counseling offers a way to tend to this essential part of yourself. It can provide a place to find relief, strengthen your abilities, and experience supportive care. Amazingly, as we heal ourselves, those around us are invited to heal, too.  

My own positive experiences as a client are what motivated me to become a therapist. In counseling, I learned to talk about painful experiences, connect more fully with my emotions, and discover important things about myself that I had previously repressed in order to survive an abusive childhood and adolescence. (But don’t worry, counseling is not always about processing one’s childhood.) It is my honor to help humans of all ages and types who are ready to invest in their own growth.

I am especially passionate about working with creatives, those who identify as Highly Sensitive People (HSPs), and those seeking greater connection with their intuition (no matter how “far away” your creativity or intuition may feel). Other passions of mine include helping clients overcome personal and cultural trauma; process marginalization or minority stress; heal from religious abuse; develop racial identity; and explore sexual orientation, gender identity, and/or gender expression in an affirming environment. I have experience integrating expressive art methods, dreamwork, and transpersonal/spiritual experiences in therapy. I love helping adults remember how to rest and play! 

In addition to deeper counseling work, I also offer coaching sessions for those seeking short-term support on a specific goal. One unique thing I can provide because of my background working as an artist and performer is performance-specific coaching with a mental health focus. Together we can game-plan how to optimize your (or your teen’s) artistic life in a way that is healthy for the whole person. 

I received my Masters of Science in Counseling from the University of North Texas, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor.

  1. Stress and anxiety

  2. Depression, suicidal ideation, and self-harm

About Kylie


My passion for counseling started when I sought therapy during high school due to being cyber bullied. In therapy, I was able to process through what I was experiencing, receive validation for what I was feeling, and learn how to overcome my unhelpful thoughts and feelings. It was in sessions with my counselor that I realized being a therapist was my calling in life; I wanted to help people experience the freedom and healing that she helped me achieve. 

My experiences at a university psychology clinic and an IOP/PHP facility have led me to develop a passion for working with children, adolescents, and young adults. I love working with this age range, as the focus of treatment is often on self-exploration and growing into the best version of ourselves. Through the therapeutic relationship, my goal is to help you feel empowered. I strive to do this by providing a space where you feel heard, understood, and validated, while also challenging and encouraging you. I believe change begins by challenging unhealthy thinking patterns and behaviors, grows into learning to accept ourselves for who we truly are, and results in a healthy and fulfilling lifestyle.

I specialize in seeing clients with a variety of presenting problems such as depression, anxiety, self-esteem, stress, self-harm, and career related issues. I take a client-centered approach and incorporate my training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I also like to incorporate expressive arts when it becomes too difficult to find the words to express how we feel.

I have a four-legged sidekick named Winston who helps provide comfort when talking about our thoughts and feelings. He is a 45lbs, hypoallergenic, therapy dog, and is also an AKC registered Canine Good Citizen. Winston loves to meet new people and get all the belly rubs and back scratches! 

I received my Masters of Science in Clinical Psychology from Abilene Christian University and am a Licensed Professional Counselor.

I believe there isn’t a step-by-step manual to navigate the unpredictable seasons of life; however, I aim to encourage and help you write that manual in your own words, at your own pace. Seeking therapy is in itself a sign of strength and courage, as it can seem easier to try to ignore difficult thoughts, emotions, or experiences. “I’m tired” commonly encompasses physical exhaustion from living in a world which expects us to have a career, socialize regularly, sustain healthy relationships, take care of family, exercise, and maintain a healthy diet—all while being emotionally present. Therapy provides a safe haven where it’s okay to be “tired”, because a therapist knows this phrase can mean so much more than physical exhaustion. In learning to relate to our experiences in new ways, we can become more grounded and compassionate with ourselves and others through the seasons of life.

At the root of my work, I seek to provide a safe and supportive space for people based on their unique needs. I have experience working with culturally diverse individuals and promote positive regard for all backgrounds and beliefs. My areas of focus include treating: anxiety in all its forms (avoidance, overthinking, perfectionism, obsessive/compulsive symptoms etc.), depression, low self-esteem, relational trauma, family/relationship issues, life transitions, sexual functioning, and identity development.

I received my Masters of Arts in Counseling from Northwestern University and am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate under the supervision of Katie Nix, MA LPC-Supervisor.
