Heather Goggans

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


I’ve spent my career supporting people through some of their hardest moments—crisis units, inpatient care, disability rehabilitation, and corporate healthcare. Being a foster parent gave me a firsthand view of how families cope under intense strain. As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Rehabilitation Counselor, I specialize in the mental‐health impact of chronic illness, disability, and identity shifts. I believe people are more resilient than they realize, and the right support helps them access it.

Gina Gheller

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


Hi, I'm Gina Gheller, a psychotherapist with nearly 30 years of experience — and if you're rebuilding after a painful relationship, healing from narcissistic abuse, navigating divorce, or working through family trauma, you're in exactly the right place. I bring both deep experience as a survivor and genuine curiosity about your story to every session. I'm best known for my work with women and relationship issues — I've even authored two self-help books on divorce and surviving narcissistic abuse — but I work with clients of all gender identities navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, family conflict, and trauma resolution. I lead an online wellness community. Check out "tipsfromgina" on social media for self help tips!

Candra Smith

Candra Smith

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • Houston, TX


Candra is a psychiatric nurse practitioner who is funny, driven, loyal, compassionate, and, most importantly, a human being who genuinely cares about people. I strive daily to serve clients who need support reaching their goals in life.

Whether you are a teen trying to find your way, a struggling college student, navigating corporate America, a single parent juggling it all, or an overachiever who needs permission to rest, I am here to help meet your needs. Not everyone needs medication. Sometimes, people simply need someone to talk to who actually cares, listens, and understands. Others may need assistance with medication, and that is perfectly fine too. When medication is appropriate, we will work together to find an option that best meets your individual needs. I provide an integrative approach to mental health care that is holistic, realistic, practical, and safe. Whether you are dealing with depression, anxiety, insomnia, ADHD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, trauma, a breakup, a bad grade, a failed marriage, job loss, or simply a difficult season of life, I can help. My goal is for you to leave each session feeling heard, supported, and clear about your next steps. Healing isn’t a solo journey, and I’m here to walk it with you.

Anais Rincon Bermudez

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


You don’t have to keep carrying this alone — healing is possible, and it starts here.

Maybe you’ve been feeling anxious for so long that it has started to feel like just who you are.

Maybe depression has made even the smallest tasks feel impossible. Maybe life has changed in ways you didn’t expect — a new country, a new chapter, a loss — and you’re not sure how to find your footing again.

Whatever brought you here, I want you to know: you are not broken. You are human. And you deserve support that truly sees you.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) offering therapy in both English and Spanish,

and I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, life transitions, acculturation, and the unique pain that comes from experiencing discrimination. My

approach is warm, collaborative, and deeply respectful of who you are and where you come from.

I believe therapy should feel like a safe conversation — not a lecture, not a checklist. From our very first session, my goal is for you to feel understood, not judged. Hopeful, not

overwhelmed.
