Family therapy and counseling in College Station, TX

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with an M.Ed in Counseling. I have 18+ years of experience working with children, adolescents, and their families (both in school settings and private practice) as they navigate various life challenges including, but not limited to, ADHD, anxiety, depression, grief/bereavement, and/or separation/divorce. I am currently accepting new clients in Texas.

Throughout life's journey, all of us face difficult challenges as well as times of reflection and growth. I have a passion for helping others through difficult times and love working with clients helping to facilitate insight and healing in their personal journey. In 2017, I opened Ponderado M Counseling Services, LLC on a ranch in La Grange, Texas. The counseling office is nestled around animals and the outdoors as they are used to create a unique therapeutic environment and opportunity for the client outside the traditional office setting.

I am a down to earth and warm therapist with 20 years of experience. I live and work in a rich Hispanic and military connected community. I believe that mental health and handling our emotions effectively is a key to success and positive growth/relationships. During my experience, I have focused from children to adults, who are struggling with handling emotions, anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and focus. Today, by stepping into counseling is a great step for positive growth and change!!

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.

I am experienced therapist with a PhD in research psychology as well. I enjoy getting to know each client on a deep level. Client feedback has most often been superlative.
