It’s so nice to meet you. I believe that taking care of your mental health is an important part of living a balanced and fulfilling life.

Hello! My name is James Newman. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas. I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University and have worked across different levels of care, including community mental health and crisis intervention. I am forever grateful that modern technology allows me to practice counseling remotely via telehealth, because it allows me the opportunity to provide counseling to people in a convenient way, including to some who may otherwise never be able to access counseling services.

Currently I provide counseling via telehealth, and it is my aspiration to be able to provide in-person counseling in the Grayson County area by 2027.

Hi, I’m Taylor Avery, an LCSW in Texas, and I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of North Texas. I specialize in working with individuals navigating substance use, trauma, grief and loss, life transitions, anxiety, and depression, and I have extensive experience in both individual and intensive outpatient settings.

Dr. Victoria Benson, DNP, APRN-CNP, PMHNP-BC, is a Board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) with 17 years of experience in health care and 4 years of experience in psychiatry treatments.

I have been a counselor for more than 30 years. I remain passionate about making a difference in the lives of others and believe that genuine caring is an essential element to an effective counseling relationship. Over the years I have worked with clients with significant trauma and loss. I consider it a privilege to stand with another individual as he or she resolves great pain. I specialize in treating clients with trauma, relationship issues, and borderline personality disorder.

Together, we will explore your life experiences, childhood, relationships, attachment patterns, identity, values, and parenting beliefs to better understand how they influence your current challenges and strengths. I work best with children, teens, women, parents, and families navigating life's transitions.

I have personal and professional experience with family conflict, divorce, parenting challenges, teen parenting, grief and loss, relationship concerns, and the complexities of balancing family, work, and everyday life. I understand the desire for peace, joy, and healthy relationships when they can feel just out of reach.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, my goal is to provide a warm, supportive space where healing, growth, and meaningful change can occur.

Hi, I’m Shakira, a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with individuals and romantic partners dealing with anxiety, relationship struggles, and the impact of past trauma. I use practical tools mixed with deeper healing approaches to help you feel more at ease and confident in yourself. Therapy with me is about having a safe space where you don’t have to carry it all alone.

I have over 24 years of experience working with all different age groups and diagnoses. I have extensive experience working with complex trauma to include military, veteran and first responder related experiences. I have years of experience working with PTSD, moral injury and survivor's guilt.

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.

With 3+ years of experience providing counseling services to adolescents and adults, I have been able to cultivate and expand my expertise and knowledge in this field. I received my BS in Psychology from the University of Houston. I later received her M.Ed. in Counseling & Development from Lamar University. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief issues.
