Couples therapists in Amarillo, TX

If anxiety, trauma, grief, or constant stress have been weighing on you, therapy can be a place to breathe, feel understood, and start moving forward. You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck in painful patterns, or carrying more than you can hold on your own. I work with adults who want relief, practical support, and a path toward healing. Together, we can address anxiety, depression, anger, burnout, and life’s harder moments with care that is tailored to you.

I'm a psychologist for people whose lives have been shaped by serious illness. That might mean managing a chronic or complex condition yourself, caring for someone who is seriously ill, or working in medicine and carrying what you see home with you. I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychology from Marquette University and trained in pediatric and congenital medical settings, working alongside hospital teams in the cardiac ICU, oncology, and neurology. That background means the medical side of your life doesn't need explaining before the work can start.

I specialize in helping couples and adults navigate relationship challenges, cultural differences, and major life transitions. My work is especially focused on couples who feel disconnected, stuck in recurring conflict, or unsure how to rebuild trust and emotional closeness. As a Level 3 Gottman Method-trained therapist, I help partners understand their patterns, communicate more effectively, and create a stronger relationship. I also support individuals balancing career, family, cultural adjustment, and the demands of a new chapter.

I love helping people develop skills to improve their lives, communication and relationships. It is important to know that one theory does not meet everyone’s needs, therefore I use many different approaches to helping my clients to build their own best version of themselves.

Welcome! My name is Chanveen Taneja. I hold a Master’s in Counseling, and my path to becoming a therapist started at the Crisis Text Line. Helping individuals navigate their darkest hours taught me how to safely hold space for heavy emotions, which is the foundation of my practice today.

Throughout my career, I have specialized in treating anxiety, grief, and major life transitions. I am also deeply passionate about helping clients navigate acculturation clashes, intergenerational differences, and in-law dynamics. Additionally, as an immigrant of 23 years who raised a family in the US, I bring deep, lived experience to my practice. I intimately understand the unique pressure of balancing cultural expectations with your authentic self.

I am committed to continuous learning and hold advanced training in the Gottman Method (Level 1) as well as QHHT hypnotherapy (past-life regression) to give you the most comprehensive care possible.

Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck? You don’t have to face life’s challenges alone. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where individuals, couples, and families can heal, grow, and thrive. Together, we’ll build on your strengths using evidence-based approaches tailored to your unique needs.

Empowering Growth Through Compassionate, Personalized Therapy

Welcome to Free Your Mind Counseling, where healing meets authenticity. My practice is founded on the belief that every individual deserves a safe and supportive space to heal, grow, and thrive. I provide personalized, culturally responsive therapy for trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and life transitions—grounded in empathy, respect, and collaboration.

I specialize in existential, eclectic, and integrative therapies, drawing from evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Psychodynamic, Humanistic, and Experiential frameworks. This flexible, holistic approach allows me to meet clients where they are—emotionally, mentally, and spiritually—rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method.

My academic foundation includes a Master of Arts in Counseling from Prairie View A&M University and a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice with a specialization in Juvenile Justice. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas, a National Certified Counselor (NCC), and bring over a decade of experience in the criminal justice system, substance use recovery programs, and diverse mental health settings.

I am also completing my Doctoral degree at Houston Christian University in the College of Education and Behavioral Sciences, majoring in Executive Mental Health and Human Services—a reflection of my commitment to advancing mental health leadership and community impact.

My philosophy centers on helping clients discover purpose, balance, and self-acceptance through integrative, trauma-informed care. I believe in engaging deeply—not just listening, but empowering transformation. My mission is to create a nonjudgmental space where healing isn’t just possible—it’s expected.

I’m Perla Abeyta, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and the founder of Strength Within Counseling. I work with teens, adults, and couples who are navigating trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, chronic stress, and difficult life transitions. I have particular experience working with veterans and military-connected clients, but my practice is open to anyone who is looking for support in understanding what they’ve been through, developing healthier patterns, and moving forward with greater confidence.

Welcome! Whether you're an athlete, performer, and high-achieving individual seeking to improve both mental wellness and performance or navigating anxiety, relationship concerns, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck, my goal is to provide a supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to create lasting change. I am also a Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC), which has allowed me to work especially well with those who need consistent, high level performance. My clinical experience includes working with adults, adolescents, couples, families, athletes, LGBTQ+ individuals, survivors of sexual assault, and neurodivergent clients.
