Hello, I’m Bibiana Peña, a Licensed Professional Counselor and National Certified Counselor. I am a bilingual therapist, offering sessions in both English and Spanish. I work with clients ages 10 and up. Using a person‐centered approach, I strive to build genuine therapeutic relationships that honor each person’s lived experiences, cultural background, and unique strengths.

I’m a Doctor of Social Work, Licensed Professional Counselor, National Certified Counselor, and Army combat veteran with degrees in Sociology, Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and Social Work. My approach to therapy is humanistic, compassionate, honest, and practical. I believe that life’s stressors, whether they come from work, relationships, major life changes, past experiences, or simply feeling overwhelmed by everything at once, can affect us in ways that are difficult to manage alone.

I strive to create a space where you feel respected, heard, and understood without judgment.

I have been practicing for over 10 years. Therapy and helping others is my purpose.

Hello, I’m Dr Wiesner. I have a PhD in counseling. I was a professor teaching graduate students for seven years. During this time I was the director of a ten room counseling clinic at the university. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor for those new to the field, a Nationally Certified Counselor, and a Certified Clinical Mental Health Counselor.

I strive to be respectful and care about clients achieving their goals as quickly as possible. I taught diagnoses nine semesters at the university. I have published several research papers in peer reviewed journals and have made 7 presentations at the state and national level. I taught research methods and statistics but what really matters to me aren’t my degrees etc..but wanting you to live a zest filled life.

I have a degree in engineering and a MBA but left engineering to focus on assisting clients find and achieve goals that are important to them. Engineering trained me to think logically and to problem solve with an emphasis on practical issues and being practical. Practical and long lasting results is my focus.

I’m a member of Mensa and have been in the American Counseling Association and the Texas Counseling Association. While I have treated a long list of issues my main focus has been working with couples, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and past trauma.

If you choose me I would feel honored to help as best I can. I work with age ranges from six year olds to seniors. I like to say I want difficult and complex cases but you are not a case.

Stuck in survival mode? Crashing out? Riding the hot mess express? Maybe it is the first time sharing the deep, raw truth of your story... or maybe you’re tired of saying it over and over and feeling like other people don’t really “get” it. You don't have to pretend everything's okay or fit into a mold. I'm here for the real you. We can build your own personal path to healing. I help people do this by exploring thoughts, gaining insight, and developing tools to thrive.

I’m a seasoned psychotherapist who helps individuals and couples create healthy, fulfilling relationships—starting from within. My approach is warm, empathic, and solutions-focused, combining mindful insight with practical strategies for real-life change. Whether you’re healing from past wounds, navigating conflict, or seeking deeper connection, I offer a safe and nonjudgmental space to explore what’s holding you back and build the skills for lasting growth. Clients describe me as calm, grounding, and genuinely invested in their progress—someone who helps them feel seen, supported, and empowered to love with confidence and clarity.

You don't have to fit a certain mold to feel at home in therapy. I'm a secular, non-religious therapist who works primarily with adults and older adolescents who are choosing to be in therapy and ready to make a change. I work with anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, identity, relationships, and life's challenges, with a particular appreciation for clients who consider themselves a little nerdier or outside the mainstream.

My clients should know that I provide a calm, nonjudgemental space where they can show up exactly as they are. I understand how overwhelming anxiety, depression, and trauma can feel, and I approach each session with compassion and respect. I believe healing happens at your own pace, and I will walk alongside you as we work toward meaningful change.

Hi! My name is Dawn Gutierrez. I am a dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of experience in healthcare.

My clinical experience spans across Family Health, Women's Health, Behavioral Health, Emergency and Trauma comprehensive care at the Military Hospital for over 15 years. I then specialized in gender-affirming services such as hormone therapy and ongoing care for transgender and gender-diverse individuals. While providing care for the LGBQTIA community, I was drawn to continuing my education in Mental Health Care to provide Psychiatric services to this community as well.

I approach each patient with respect for their lived experience, identity, and goals, emphasizing collaborative decision-making and individualized treatment plans. My work is grounded in trauma-informed care, clinical excellence, and a strong belief that affirming, accessible healthcare is essential to both mental and physical well-being.

I have extensive experience delivering care through both telehealth and in-clinic settings, allowing me to meet patients where they are and reduce barriers to access. I am deeply committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based, and patient-centered care in a safe, respectful, and affirming environment.

Outside of work I enjoy spending quality time with my family, which brings balance to the work I love. Caring for others—both at home and in my practice—is at the heart of who I am.
