Hello, I’m Tracy, a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 25 years of experience walking alongside children, teens, and families.
In our sessions, you’ll find a calm, welcoming space where you can exhale, feel heard, and begin to make sense of what’s going on. I work especially with teens and young adults facing anxiety, mild depression, low self-esteem, school pressures, or life transitions like divorce or moving. Together, we process what's been going on, build practical coping skills, and create a path forward so you can feel more confident, steady, and in control again.
Before becoming a therapist, I spent decades as a teacher, school counselor, and administrator, so I understand what it feels like when school stress, family changes, or big emotions start to feel overwhelming.
I work with adults who may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, substance use, or other life challenges, my goal is to offer a supportive space where you can feel understood and begin making meaningful changes.
Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is let someone walk beside you. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, ADHD, self-esteem concerns, or simply feeling stuck, you don't have to face it alone. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming, and judgment-free space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to grow.
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Houston. I have experience working with adolescents, young adults, and adults in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I also offer virtual ESA evaluations for adults across Texas.
Maybe your brain will not slow down long enough to finish what you started. Maybe the worry arrives before you are even out of bed. Maybe something happened years ago that you have never really put down. I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors carrying ADHD, anxiety, depression, and trauma, and I have spent over six years doing it across private practice, schools, and clinics. I work with people of all ages and abilities, in English or Spanish. It would be my honor to be a part of your journey.
I am Doris Gardner-Wilson, LCSW, LCDC, CSAT, a Texas-licensed therapist with over 14 years of experience. I specialize in complex trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, and addiction. As an EMDR-trained clinician and certified sex addiction therapist, I work with individuals, partners, and survivors of narcissistic abuse. I provide a safe, judgment-free space to help you break free from limiting patterns. It takes courage to take the first steps toward a happier life, and I’m here to empower your healing journey.
