My name is Kayla and I have 8 years of experience specializing in individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and substance use. I'm passionate about creating a space where you can show up exactly as you are—without judgment. I believe healing happens through genuine connection, and I'm here to support and encourage you every step of the way.
My name is Marcelo Benalcazar. I am a father of four and a first generation son of two immigrants. I grew up in Topeka as a biracial/bicultural child and know all too well the feelings that come from being "different" than everyone else. In my free time I play video games (I have multiple systems and enjoy multiple genres), watch movies, read graphic novels, and LOVE all forms of music. Educationally I received my Associates Degree in Addictions Counseling from Kansas City Kansas Community College and my Bachelors and Masters from the University of Kansas where I graduated Cum Laude as an Integrated Behavioral Health Scholar. I am currently a dual licensed therapist with an LSCSW and an LMAC.
With over a decade of experience, I offer tailored therapy for diverse challenges: Disruptive Behavior, Parental Stress, LGBTQIA Support, Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Relationships, Grief, Life Transitions, BIPOC Concerns, and Personal Growth. I use a holistic approach integrating Trauma-Informed Care, CBT, and Behavior Therapy. Let's work towards healing and growth together!
Welcome! I'm Cemetrice a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I belive that seeking help takes courage, and my goal is to create a safe, judgement-free space where you feel heard and supported from the very first visit. I earned my MSN from Northern Kentucky University, and I bring over six years of psychiatric experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I currently hold inpatient privileges at three hospitals in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, which keeps me connected to full spectrum of mental health care. I work with patients ages 5 and up treating a range of concerns including anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and more. My approach combines careful medication management with genuine listening because you're more than diagnosis.
I believe in meeting my clients where they're at. They are the expert in their own story. I'm just here to listen, help process, maybe challenge, and encourage them in their journey. I went to Newman University for my Master's Degree and went on to get my Clinical License. I have worked with varying populations including teens, adults, geriatrics, the prison population, couples counseling, and Christian Counseling. I enjoy working with people who have been through trauma or grief or have experienced anxiety or depression.
Life doesn't come with a roadmap — but building one is exactly what we do together.
I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 17 years of experience working with youth, adults, families, and military communities across school, clinical, and community settings. I've sat with people in some of the most demanding circumstances imaginable — from inpatient mental health facilities to active military bases — and I've learned that what helps most isn't a script. It's connection, clarity, and a practical plan that actually fits your life.
I grew up on a farm, where I learned early that hard work and determination lead to better outcomes. That belief has shaped every corner of my career — and how I show up for every person I work with.
Hello, and welcome! I'm a licensed therapist with eight years of experience in the behavioral health field. I became fully licensed in 2021 and have enjoyed helping clients develop insight and change behaviors through their journey with me. I started my professional life as an educator in 2003, but life had a different path and I discovered my passion was to provide psychotherapy to individuals across the lifespan. I treat ages 10+ and assist individuals understand their moods, develop strategies to manage them, or simply provide a safe space and a listening ear.
I'm a Licensed Master and Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience helping people through some of life's hardest moments. I work with individuals, families, and groups, and I have specialized training in trauma, eating disorders, and sexual health concerns. I'm also passionate about the bigger picture — how the world around us affects our mental health — and I bring that perspective into my work. I'm currently accepting new clients.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Self-Care Coach, and founder of Rise Up Resiliency Center LLC. Growing up in Kansas City, Kansas, with parents who faced substance use challenges, I bring a unique blend of empathy, personal insight, and professional expertise to my practice. My passion lies in working with individuals, couples, and groups, especially women, teens, and marginalized communities, to help them build resilience and achieve personal growth.
I have been a counselor for more than 30 years. I remain passionate about making a difference in the lives of others and believe that genuine caring is an essential element to an effective counseling relationship. Over the years I have worked with clients with significant trauma and loss. I consider it a privilege to stand with another individual as he or she resolves great pain. I specialize in treating clients with trauma, relationship issues, and borderline personality disorder.
You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or frustrated with patterns that don’t seem to change. Maybe anxiety is constant, depression has drained your motivation, ADHD is affecting your focus, or past trauma continues to resurface. You want clarity, stability, and relief — not just for today, but long term. You want to feel like yourself again, function better at school or work, and regain control of your emotions instead of feeling controlled by them.
