I have a Masters degree in Professional Counseling and am credential by The National Board of Certified Counselors. My professional background is in trauma recovery and forensic psychology, meaning I have approached trauma on from both ends of the spectrum. There is little I haven't seen or heard clinically. This allows me to remain open minded, and has given me the knowledge and experience to provide a safe, supportive space for exploration.
I believe healing happens in a space where you feel safe, respected, and understood. My approach is trauma‐informed, culturally responsive, and grounded in compassion. I work collaboratively, at your pace, and without judgment. You can expect me to be honest, supportive, and consistent as we explore patterns, build skills, and work toward the life you want. My goal is to help you feel empowered, capable, and more connected to yourself and others. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to help you uncover your strengths, challenge unhelpful patterns, and create meaningful change. I meet you where you are and support you in moving forward at a pace that feels right for you.

Hello! I'm a Board-Certified Nurse Practitioner with a Doctorate in Nursing, specializing in psychiatry. I'm qualified to diagnose, treat, and prescribe medication for children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. My areas of focus include depression, anxiety, mood disorders, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, ADHD, OCD, panic disorder, and PTSD.
I believe in treating each person holistically — considering the mental, physical, environmental, and social factors that shape your wellbeing. My approach is non-judgmental, because I understand there is no shame or guilt in seeking help for mental health. Many of the clients I work with come to me feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and anxious — and helping them move through that is exactly why I do this work. Outside the office, I enjoy spending time with family, reading, shopping, and trying new foods.
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.
I understand that beginning therapy can seem intimidating and quite overwhelming, and many times, the toughest part of the experience is taking that first step. Still, you have made it here, and you are commencing your important journey to heal and rebuild yourself. I am grateful for the opportunity to meet with you and learn the best ways I can be of service. My practice style is very warm, caring, and collaborative.
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.

When anxiety, depression, mood changes, or emotional stress begin to interfere with your daily life, it can feel like you're carrying more than you were ever meant to carry alone. You may be tired of simply getting through the day and ready for a clearer path forward. My goal is to provide a supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and understood. Together, we'll uncover what's contributing to your struggles and create a plan that helps you regain balance, build confidence, and move toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.
As an experienced clinical psychologist, I believe that healing begins with awareness. My practice is grounded in mindfulness and evidence-based approaches that help clients reconnect with their inner wisdom and build resilience through life's challenges.
