You’re carrying a lot, and you don’t have to figure it all out alone. Life can feel overwhelming when stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship challenges, or major transitions start to pile up. Therapy can be a space where you slow down, feel understood, and begin making sense of what you’re experiencing. For over a decade, I’ve worked alongside individuals navigating some of life’s hardest moments, including trauma, substance use recovery, mental health struggles, family stress, and major life changes. I became a therapist because I genuinely care about people and believe everyone deserves support, hope, and the opportunity to heal. No matter where you're starting from, we'll work together to help you build on your strengths and create meaningful change one step at a time.

There are moments where each of us experience difficult and stressful points in our lives. Whether it's a painful divorce, the loss of a loved one, the loss of a job, going through stress in a relationship, unresolved self-esteem issues, questions about gender or sexuality, dealing with a troubled child, family stress, or facing pain from childhood and/or adult trauma. Life can be hard at times; there is no doubt about that. I have come to view those challenging times that we all experience, albeit in different ways, as opportunities for us to make positive changes and adjustments - what I like to call "reset moments."


As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I rely on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help move my clients to lasting change. I have experience working in schools, hospitals, and in my own private practice. Through individual counseling, we move from places of stagnation and fear into the amazing future that each of us deserves and I believe we can have.


I am always amazed at the strength and courage of my clients. It's never easy to take that first step, to commit to the process of change, to put in the effort to do the hard work, and to hope for more. We must always remember that each of us has the power to be who we are intended to be and to create the lives we want. I look forward to working with you...

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


I'm an LPC based in Texas who works with adults navigating addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, and the kind of stress that doesn't go away after a good night's sleep. I'm not the therapist who nods quietly and lets you talk in circles — I'm engaged, I'm direct, and I'll genuinely challenge you when I think it'll help. I also believe laughter belongs in the therapy room. Healing doesn't have to be a grim process, and some of the most meaningful breakthroughs I've witnessed have happened mid-joke. I offer telehealth sessions throughout Texas and accept Aetna, Cigna, Carelon Behavioral Health, and Ascension.

Brandi Mizell

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely safe, heard, and understood. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can openly process your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and life experiences without feeling rushed or criticized. I understand that starting therapy can feel vulnerable, so I approach each client with compassion, curiosity, and respect for their unique story and lived experience.

My style is warm, relational, and conversational while still grounded in evidence-based practices. I work collaboratively with clients to help them better understand emotional patterns, increase self-awareness, strengthen communication, and develop practical tools they can use outside of sessions. I value creating a therapeutic relationship that feels authentic and empowering, where clients can feel comfortable being honest, asking questions, and moving at a pace that feels manageable for them.

I work with individuals navigating stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, emotional overwhelm, and patterns that may leave them feeling stuck or disconnected from themselves. Together, we focus on creating meaningful and sustainable change while also making space for reflection, healing, and personal growth.

Adelina Araujo

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


After more than four decades as a therapist, I've learned something important: most people don't come to therapy because they're weak. They come because they've been strong for far too long. Life has a way of asking us to carry more than we ever imagined, whether you're caring for aging parents, grieving a loss, adjusting to retirement, managing chronic stress, or simply feeling like you've lost yourself while taking care of everyone else.

For more than 43 years, I've helped adults navigate anxiety, depression, grief, caregiving, major life transitions, chronic health concerns, and the challenges that come with every stage of adulthood. I provide a warm, compassionate, and culturally responsive space where you can slow down, feel heard, and begin making sense of what you're experiencing. I offer therapy in both English and Spanish and welcome individuals from diverse backgrounds seeking practical support and lasting change.
