Thank you for stopping by! I am excited to get to know you and begin this beautiful journey of growth. Whether you are starting a new journey or you’re looking to pick up where you left off, I’m glad you stopped by!

It is my passion to work with people, as they challenge themselves to grow and evolve. Many of us experience challenging feelings of depression, anxiety, relationship stress, and stress of dealing with the many transitions of life. At times, these challenging feelings can make us feel alone or isolated from our communities of love and support. I believe that I am here to walk alongside you and provide insight and support as you begin to see yourself grow and reach the goals that you set for yourself. I primarily work from a narrative perspective, but I pull from many different approaches to create a safe and efficient environment for my clients to explore and reflect on themselves and their situations.

Hello, and welcome. I’m Teresa Draper, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I earned my Master's from Capella University, and I specialize in helping couples strengthen their connection and build a healthy foundation for the future.

Sometimes life changes us in ways we never expected. Whether you're carrying anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, family stress, or the effects of painful experiences, you may feel disconnected from the person you once were. Even when life feels uncertain, you deserve a space where you can pause, be heard without judgment, and begin reconnecting with yourself. I provide virtual therapy for children, adolescents, and adults throughout Texas, helping people navigate anxiety, depression, family issues, and relationship challenges while also supporting women's issues, trauma, PTSD, stress management, identity concerns, and the emotional impact of life's transitions. My goal is to help you recognize your strengths, rediscover hope, and build a life that feels more authentic, balanced, and fulfilling.

Clients describe me as someone who’s compassionate, but who will “tell it like it is.” I believe that most problems in our relationships and well-being come from unmet needs in childhood. I help my clients learn to heal through mindfulness, reparenting, and finding a sense of safety through Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) or somatic therapy. At the same time, we need to identify and challenge negative beliefs that we have about ourselves and the world. This is a process called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Through therapy, we can develop self-awareness, healthy boundaries, and assertive communication. These are skills we can all learn to help us feel better and work towards the life and healthy relationships we want.

I believe healing and growth happen best when people feel safe, accepted, and genuinely cared for. I love working with children, teens, and families, and I strive to create a warm, supportive space where clients can feel comfortable being themselves.

For children, I have advanced training in Child-Centered Play Therapy, which allows them to express feelings, work through challenges, and build confidence through the natural language of play. Often, children communicate much more through play than they can with words, and I enjoy helping them feel understood and supported in ways that fit their developmental needs.

I am an experienced mental health counselor committed to helping people bring more meaning, laughter, curiosity, creativity and self-compassion into their lives. Through identifying obstacles to reaching these states and collaborating to find solutions, we can work together to break damaging cycles and face the future with confidence. If you feel exhausted and resentful from having to do it all on your own, please take a chance and reach out.

Hello! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 13 years of experience supporting clients of all ages. I use professional and personal knowledge and experience including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Self-Compassion, Family Systems, and Narrative Therapy. I care deeply about what I do and want you to leave feeling heard, understood, and supported. I love supporting women as they work through challenges, especially in the context of parenting. I also enjoy working with adults managing transitions, self-growth, anxiety, boundary setting, inner-critics, relationships.

Every person will encounter difficult obstacles in life, but your past or current struggles do not have to define your future. I have devoted my life to empowering people experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, post-traumatic stress, ADHD, and other issues, helping them find long-term solutions. I provide therapy in a non-judgmental, supportive space with the goal that you will recognize your value and capacity for wholeness regardless of what holds you back today.
