Thank you for visiting Little Light Wellness!
I am a board certified nurse practitioner in both psychiatry and family medicine. I received my Bachelors of Nursing through UT Austin in 2008 and my Family Nurse Practitioner Masters degree through UT Austin in 2014. I have spent the last 11 years treating patients with complex autoimmune medical conditions in an outpatient infusion setting.
In 2024, after realizing a need for holistic psychiatric care for my patients, I received my Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Certification through Johns Hopkins University.
I created Little Light Wellness to integrate my passions for authentic, down-to-earth care, education, and empowering collaborative approaches to psychiatric treatment. My goal is to create a safe space for you to feel truly seen, heard, and understood as we discover what treatment paths work best for you on your mental wellness journey.
I am dedicated to providing compassionate, bilingual (English / Native Spanish) psychotherapy to clients who are navigating life’s most challenging moments, especially those dealing with anxiety, depression, major life transitions (such as cancer diagnosis, grief, trauma). I specialize in working with individuals and their families, supporting them in navigating emotions, distress, and resilience during challenging times. I provide a safe, supportive space where individuals can process emotions, develop coping skills, and find strength in the face of adversity.
I have been working in the mental health field for many years and have had the privilege of supporting individuals through many of life’s challenges. Over time, I have seen firsthand the stressors and unexpected difficulties that life can bring. While we cannot always prevent these challenges—because life will continue to be life—we can learn healthier ways to cope, grow, and move forward.
My role is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences, develop practical tools, and gain insight into the patterns that may be affecting your well-being. I am here to offer guidance, encouragement, and support as we work together toward your goals and toward creating a life that feels more balanced, meaningful, and manageable.
I’m Destiny Parker, a counselor, educator, and wellness advocate who believes healing happens when people feel seen, safe, and supported as their full selves.
In my clinical work, I support individuals who are managing stress, burnout, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the lingering effects of trauma. I have a particular passion for working with educators, caregivers, and helping professionals who often prioritize everyone else while quietly carrying their own emotional load. I also work with adolescents and young adults as they navigate self-esteem, peer relationships, identity exploration, and emotional resilience.
Prisca Oketch, APRN, PMHNP-BC, with over 17 years of dedicated clinical experience, specializes in comprehensive mental health treatment. I combine evidence-based psychiatric care with compassionate listening, creating personalized treatment plans that address each patient's unique needs. I am accepting new patients of all ages, from children to adults, both for cash pay and insurance with same-day availability.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Harker Heights
Searching for therapists in Harker Heights starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want help with. People often look for support with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, or stress. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and details about who they work with. A therapist’s bio can help you understand their style, whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care, and what a first session may include.
In a smaller city like Harker Heights, local appointment options may be more limited than in larger Texas markets. Expanding your search to nearby areas like Killeen, Belton, and Nolanville can help, and virtual therapy can give you access to more licensed Texas therapists from home. As you narrow your options, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, session format, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, experience, and fit in one place.
Therapy in Harker Heights can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, show current availability, and are accepting new clients. You can enter your insurance details, review estimated costs, browse therapist bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
