You've been called too much, or not enough. Maybe both, depending on the room. I work with individuals and couples in affirming, culturally responsive therapy. POC, LGBTQIA+ folks, people in ENM and nontraditional relationships, and anyone who's spent a lifetime translating themselves to be understood. Clients come in carrying grief, people-pleasing patterns, identity questions, the weight of being misread, or a relationship that's drifted, gone quiet, or is trying to find a new shape that actually fits. I'll challenge you and stay warm doing it. I don't ask you to shrink or perform to be met. This is a space to be known in full.

Virtual & in-person • 28 mi away • Conroe, TX


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.

Patrick Richoux

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 25 mi away • Sugar Land, TX


I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and retired nurse with more than 25 years of experience in healthcare, social work, and behavioral health. Born in Texas and raised in Brazil and Chile, I’ve spent much of my life moving between cultures. I provide therapy in English, Spanish, and Portuguese and bring that multicultural perspective into my work.

I work with adults navigating anxiety and overthinking, depression, relationship difficulties, narcissism, grief and loss, caregiver stress, aging, identity concerns, and major life transitions. I also provide LGBTQ+ affirming therapy and help who want to create a meaningful life on their own terms and figure out what you want the next chapter of their life to look like.

I have a particular interest in helping people who have spent years being the dependable one—the partner, parent, caregiver, professional, or person everyone else turns to—and are beginning to ask, “What about me?”

Kris Walker

Kris Walker

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


Hello, and welcome. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) serving clients throughout Texas. I earned a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology and completed my LPC internship under the supervision of an exceptional LPC Supervisor here in Texas.

My experience spans a variety of mental health settings, including working as a case manager and service coordinator for individuals with developmental disabilities, a rehabilitation teacher in a state psychiatric hospital, a therapist on a geriatric behavioral health unit, and a counselor in medication-assisted treatment (MAT), substance use disorder (SUD) inpatient and outpatient programs, and individual counseling settings. These experiences have allowed me to support individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use disorders, grief, life transitions, and relationship challenges.

A primary focus of my work is helping individuals heal from trauma and anxiety. I have completed the training portion of Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), an evidence-based approach that uses bilateral eye movements similar to EMDR while incorporating its own unique treatment methods. Throughout my career, I have come to recognize how common trauma is and how profoundly it can impact a person's emotions, relationships, self-worth, and overall quality of life.

My counseling style is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each client's unique needs. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard and respected. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, trauma, substance use, grief, or feeling stuck in life, my goal is to help you build insight, strengthen coping skills, and work toward meaningful change over time.

I'm Carol Hernandez, a bilingual therapist, mother, and proud Latina woman deeply connected to my culture and community. I grew up between Southern California and the Rio Grande Valley, went to college at UTRGV in South Texas and did my graduate studies at Baylor University. Over the past five years, I've gotten to work in all kinds of settings such as hospitals, inpatient and outpatient programs, and alongside medical teams, which has given me a pretty wide view of how mental health shows up in people's lives. I love working with BIPOC, LGBTQ+, immigrant, and neurodivergent communities. I specialize in issues of anxiety, depression, chronic stress, trauma, big life changes, grief, post partum depression, or just feeling overwhelmed and not feeling like yourself.
