It can be exhausting when the thoughts & physical sensations are loud. I help clients slow things down & find the practices that work best for you & your life. If all you know is that you want things to be different, I can help you find your path to get there.
What truly sets me apart is my calm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental approach. I believe in meeting every individual exactly where they are, creating a safe and affirming space for open, honest communication. Together, we’ll build a collaborative relationship where goals, preferences, and values guide every step of your care. I am committed to providing stigma-free care; including those navigating challenges related to neurodivergence, substance use, trauma, identity or difficult past experiences. Everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and respected without fear of shame or judgment.
I specialize in helping adults navigate challenges related to depression, anxiety, and life transitions. My therapeutic approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness techniques to support clients in building coping skills, emotional balance, and self-awareness. I am known for my empathetic nature, active listening skills, and patient approach, creating a safe and supportive environment where clients can feel heard and understood. I believe in meeting clients where they are and working collaboratively toward meaningful and lasting change. To accommodate busy schedules, I offer flexible appointment times, including evenings and weekends.
I attended Hardin-Simmons University in Abilene Texas and received my Master's in Family Psychology. After many years of work in a non profit adoption agency and in several psychiatric hospitals, I found my passion lies in working with individuals that want to explore their past to inform their current functioning. Although the hot "it" therapies offer quick fixes, I believe you must first understand yourself before you can understand the root of your issues.
Whether you're coping with the loss of a loved one, managing the emotional impact of a chronic illness, healing from past experiences, or feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, I strive to provide thoughtful, evidence-based care tailored to your unique needs. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas, I believe therapy is most effective when you feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted. I provide a warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore life's challenges at your own pace. I specialize in working with adults experiencing grief and bereavement, anxiety, trauma, relationship concerns, chronic health conditions, and major life transitions.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two kids, working out, and reading psychological thrillers!
If you or your teen are carrying something heavy — trauma that keeps showing up, anxiety that won't settle, or a life that's shifted in ways that are hard to name — I'm here to help. I'm a bilingual, Spanish-speaking LPC in Texas with 3 years of clinical experience. I'm trained in EMDR therapy and specialize in trauma, emotional regulation, and life transitions. I work with adolescents ages 11–17 and adults, and I believe therapy is a space to work toward your most authentic self. I believe healing is possible when people are given a safe space to be seen, heard, and understood. Over time, I realized that many of the struggles people experience are often rooted in experiences that were never fully processed.
It's time to put yourself first, and I'm here to help you do that. With my experience working with adults from a diverse population, I understand how difficult it is to prioritize yourself in life which can lead to depression, anxiety, emotional distress, and unnecessary stress.
Relationships can change over time but feeling disconnected doesn't have to be the end of the story.
I work with adults who want to better understand themselves and create healthier, more connected relationships. I have a particular interest in supporting people in long-term relationships who are navigating communication challenges, recurring conflict, emotional disconnection, changes in intimacy, or the feeling that they’ve become more like roommates than partners.
Therapy can be a space to slow down and understand what is happening beneath the surface. Together, we'll explore self-worth, communication, emotional and physical intimacy, boundaries, conflict patterns, emotional regulation, and coping skills. We’ll also look at how past experiences and beliefs about yourself may influence the way you communicate, connect, set boundaries, or respond when you feel hurt or misunderstood.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and practical. I integrate CBT, mindfulness, acceptance-based approaches, and trauma-informed therapy to help you develop greater self-awareness and the tools to create meaningful change.
You don't have to wait until your relationship is falling apart to seek support. Therapy can help you reconnect with yourself, with your partner, and with the kind of relationship you want to create.
Thank you for reaching out to Elemental Horizon Mental Health and Trauma Treatment.

Hello, and welcome. My name is Danielle, and I'm so glad you're here. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in Houston, Texas. I believe in the power of therapy, and I know that taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming. I want you to know that you don't have to navigate life's challenges alone.
My goal is to create an open, supportive, safe, and non-judgmental space where you feel heard, valued, and understood. Together, we'll explore the thoughts, emotions, and experiences that may be keeping you stuck while developing practical tools to help you manage anxiety, build resilience, and create meaningful change.
I am passionate about helping adolescents and adults develop a healthier relationship with themselves, food, and the people in their lives. I believe healing begins with self-compassion, understanding, and connection. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, emotional eating, body image, relationship challenges, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, we'll work together to help you reconnect with your strengths, find balance, and move toward the life you want to live.
My experience centers on supporting clients of all ages through a wide range of life challenges. Guided by a solution-focused perspective, I believe holistic healing is a foundational part of effective client care. I am trained in EMDR, a therapeutic modality that helps clients process trauma and other difficult life experiences that may interfere with personal growth, relationships, and mental health. I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, life transitions, emotional overwhelm, and other concerns that can make it difficult to feel grounded or move forward. I hold a master’s degree from Colorado Christian University and have received training in both play therapy and EMDR. I have also worked with clients experiencing dual diagnoses within the field of substance use disorders, which has deepened my understanding of the connection between emotional pain, coping, and healing.
Hi, I’m Melissa! Thanks for visiting! My ideal client is someone who’s ready to take accountability and implement change. I believe accountability is one of the strongest foundations for growth. When you can own your choices and patterns, you can shift them and move toward your highest self. With 20 years of experience as a social worker, I support individuals who are navigating depression, anxiety, stress, anger, and self-esteem challenges. I also have experience working with people who have been impacted by foster care, domestic violence, court system, family conflict and traumatic events.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Lufkin
Searching for therapists in Lufkin starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, work stress, or a major life change. As you compare therapists, look at the specialties listed in each profile and note the approaches they use, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care. A therapist’s bio can also show how they structure sessions and what you can expect from their style.
In a smaller city like Lufkin, the number of local in-person appointments may be more limited than in larger Texas metros. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Texas. As you narrow your search, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. If you searched for counseling in Lufkin, TX, a licensed professional counselor near you, marriage counseling in Lufkin, or a psychotherapist near you in person, these details can help you decide which therapist is a practical fit.
Therapy in Lufkin can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you compare therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review profiles, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can browse therapists in Lufkin, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
