I’m Destiny Parker, a counselor, educator, and wellness advocate who believes healing happens when people feel seen, safe, and supported as their full selves.
In my clinical work, I support individuals who are managing stress, burnout, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the lingering effects of trauma. I have a particular passion for working with educators, caregivers, and helping professionals who often prioritize everyone else while quietly carrying their own emotional load. I also work with adolescents and young adults as they navigate self-esteem, peer relationships, identity exploration, and emotional resilience.
Sometimes you know you need support, but you may not know exactly how to put what you're feeling into words. You might be carrying stress from work, family, relationships, or past experiences while trying to keep everything moving. Maybe you're feeling anxious, discouraged, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to move forward after something difficult has happened. I work with children, adolescents, teens, and adults from diverse backgrounds who are navigating difficult experiences, trauma, life changes, and emotional challenges. As a counselor in Texas for more than 14 years, my goal is to meet you where you are and help you find a path forward that feels meaningful to you.
Prisca Oketch, APRN, PMHNP-BC, with over 17 years of dedicated clinical experience, specializes in comprehensive mental health treatment. I combine evidence-based psychiatric care with compassionate listening, creating personalized treatment plans that address each patient's unique needs. I am accepting new patients of all ages, from children to adults, both for cash pay and insurance with same-day availability.
Trauma can change the way you see yourself, others, and the world around you. Whether you've experienced domestic violence, childhood abuse, or other painful life events, you may find yourself feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or constantly on guard. Healing is possible, and you do not have to navigate that journey alone. As a licensed counselor with experience working with survivors of trauma, I provide a safe, supportive space where you can process your experiences, regain a sense of control, and move toward a life that feels more fulfilling and meaningful.
I strive to provide a safe, warm environment in talk therapy to work with my clients in recognizing the tools to overcome life stresses.

I specialize in treating conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, mood disorders, trauma-related concerns, and substance use disorders.

Hi, I'm Adaobi — a Psychiatric–Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over a decade of experience in nursing and outpatient mental health care.
If you're looking for someone who will truly listen, you're in the right place. My clients often tell me that what they value most is feeling heard — and that's exactly where I start. Whether you're dealing with depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, or something you can't quite name yet, I'm here to help you make sense of it without judgment.
Bienvenidos! Welcome to My Practice
First off, I want to take a moment to thank you for prioritizing yourself today—it’s not always easy!
My name is Daniela, a bilingual (Spanish) clinical social worker. When not working, you’ll find me enjoying quality time with my loved ones, or sneaking the occasional nap.
I firsthand understand how culture shock, trauma, and grief can deeply affect lives. That’s why I dedicated my career to helping others navigate these challenges with support and compassion.
My name is Bradley Smith, and I’m a therapist who believes that meaningful change begins with feeling understood. I work with individuals who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the everyday pressures that can make life feel overwhelming. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, respected, and heard without judgment.
I know that reaching out for therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you’re not sure where to start. I approach each client with curiosity, empathy, and respect for their unique experiences. Everyone’s story is different, and I believe therapy should reflect that. Together, we’ll work at a pace that feels comfortable while focusing on what matters most to you.
I am a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with experience providing care in both inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings. My clinical background allows me to support adults across a wide range of mental health needs—from acute stabilization to ongoing outpatient treatment—while maintaining a thoughtful, individualized approach to care.
I received my Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) degree from Texas State University, where I developed a strong foundation in evidence-based psychiatric assessment, diagnosis, and treatment. I am known for my warm, approachable style and for taking the time to truly listen, as I believe effective mental health care begins with trust, collaboration, and feeling understood.
I specialize in the evaluation and treatment of anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, ADHD, trauma-related concerns, and life stressors. My approach emphasizes conservative medication management, clear patient education, and shared decision-making so individuals feel informed and confident in their care.
In addition to my psychiatric training, I have a background in women’s health, which enhances my understanding of how physical health and life-stage factors can influence mental well-being. This perspective allows me to provide well-rounded, inclusive care for all adults.
Whether you are seeking psychiatric care for the first time, transitioning from inpatient treatment, or looking for ongoing outpatient support, my goal is to provide a supportive, non-judgmental environment where you feel respected, heard, and empowered throughout your care.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Abilene
Searching for therapists in Abilene starts with finding someone whose training and focus match what you want support with. Therapists and counselors may help with concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, stress, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for specialties listed in each therapist’s profile, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, couples counseling, or experience supporting people through major life changes. These details can help you understand whether a therapist’s approach fits your needs before you book.
In a smaller city like Abilene, local appointment options may vary by schedule, office location, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Texas. Some people prefer in-person sessions, while others choose virtual appointments for easier scheduling. As you narrow your options, review whether each therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can also show how they communicate, structure sessions, and describe their approach to care.
Therapy in Abilene can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your coverage, and view estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. You can browse therapist profiles, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
