Caledra Wortham

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Fort Worth, TX


I believe that healing is not a one size fits all process. Every person arrives with a unique story, a distinct set of strengths, and their own way of making meaning in the world. I honor that individuality as I provide a therapeutic space where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered to grow at a pace that feels authentic to them. I believe in helping people and not fixing them because people aren't broken.

Nicole Lee

Nicole Lee

Therapist

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


My story is a bit unique as to how I became a psychotherapist. I studied abroad in Costa Rica during college where I learned the Spanish language and where my love of adventure and exploration began. After moving to Los Angeles for several years, I decided to then move to New York City to pursue a career in music which is my first love. I was living in NYC and working for Sony Music on September 11, 2001 which changed my life dramatically. I decided to return to The University of Texas in Austin and obtained my Masters in Social Work in an effort to pursue a career in helping others which is my second love.

My therapeutic approach is grounded in the Relational Model as I believe that relationships, both with ourselves and others, are what allow us each to feel fulfilled, secure, and empowered. My hope is that we can work together as a team to unlock your inner strengths so that you can confidently manage life's stressors in the past, present, and future.

I love working with adolescents and I have a warm, non-judgmental, humorous, but direct approach that seems to fit well with teenagers. I have worked for many years in community mental health and as such have been successful with almost every diagnosis that exists, all age groups, and all genders. I look forward to working with you and your family.

Tatrina Bailey-Josephs

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who believes therapy should be a space where you feel heard, respected, and understood—not judged. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families experiencing anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, relationship and communication challenges, anger, life transitions, trauma, and other emotional or behavioral concerns.

I bring a warm, compassionate, and down-to-earth approach to therapy. I recognize that every person’s experiences are different, and I take the time to understand your story, strengths, challenges, and goals. My role is not to tell you how to live your life, but to help you gain insight, develop healthier ways of coping, and feel more confident navigating the challenges in front of you.

Whether you are struggling with something that has been weighing on you for years or simply need support navigating a difficult season, you do not have to figure it all out alone.

SJ Parish

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


With nearly 9 years of experience, I support adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, identity exploration, people-pleasing, masking, life transitions, and neurodivergence.

Therapy with me isn’t about becoming a “better” version of yourself for everyone else. It’s about getting curious about who you are beneath expectations, survival strategies, and the pressure to have everything figured out.

My approach is affirming, collaborative, and culturally responsive, with particular care for queer, trans, nonbinary, neurodivergent, and BIPOC clients. Together, we’ll create space for greater self-understanding, authenticity, and meaningful change.
