It's easy to feel stuck in life with limited support. As a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience in private practice and inpatient settings, I strive to make my clients seen and heard for who they are.

LIFE be LIFING...You’ve been carrying a lot for a long time. Maybe anxiety, depression, past experiences, or high-stress situations are starting to catch up with you, and it’s getting harder to manage on your own. You might feel stuck in patterns you don’t fully understand or unsure how to move forward. If you’re ready to feel more in control, break unhealthy cycles, and finally have space to focus on yourself, we can work together to help you create clarity, stability, and real, lasting change.

Hì! My name is Ivelisse. I support clients facing challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions.

I bring more than 18 years of clinical experience supporting children who have experienced abuse and neglect, individuals working through addiction, youth and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, families navigating foster care and adoption, and clients experiencing acute mental health crisis. My approach is grounded in compassion, trauma-informed care, and a commitment to creating a safe and supportive therapeutic enviornment.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who believes that healing happens best in spaces that are safe, honest, and non-judgmental. I work with those who are navigating stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the effects of trauma.

My approach is collaborative and practical. We will focus on understanding what’s showing up in your life, identifying patterns that may be holding you back, and developing tools you can use in real-world situations. I don’t believe in perfection—I believe in progress.

Clients often describe me as direct, supportive, and easy to talk to. I meet you where you are while also helping you move toward where you want to be. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for something different, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

My clinical style is warm, structured, and collaborative. I emphasize clear communication and shared decision-making with my patients. I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental environment where people feel heard and respected.

I have an AGACNP background, which supports my ability to assess medical comorbidity and understand complex medical/psychiatric overlap. I am also DOT-certified, which reflects my knowledge of safety-sensitive considerations and careful medication risk assessment.

Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, depression, substance use, or painful experiences begin affecting your relationships, confidence, and everyday life. You may feel like you're constantly trying to stay one step ahead of stress while quietly wondering when things will finally get easier. You don't have to carry those challenges alone. I work alongside individuals and couples navigating substance use and addiction, anxiety, depression, anger management, and PTSD so they can rebuild confidence, strengthen relationships, and create healthier, more fulfilling lives. Whether you're seeking support for yourself or your relationship, I strive to provide a compassionate, supportive environment where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and empowered to move forward with hope.

I have over a decade of experience in the Mental Health field with a substantial history in substance use counseling, working with individuals who were incarcerated. Females with co-occurring disorders in a controlled environment. I moved to working with an exclusive male population, where I assisted them to gain skills to overcome life's difficulties. As I, myself, gained skills and knowledge I moved into working with those within my community seeking services. I helped people seeking individual services as well as leading group counseling sessions which has always been a part of my therapeutic styles.

Working with competency restoration, probation and parolees gave me a guided sense of purpose and a knowledge of the law.

I have also worked with trauma informed care, military and those seeking a better way of life. I have worked with individuals within the TDCJ system. In my journey I have worked with those that deal with unforeseen life challenges, whether through a life choice or an unimaginable circumstance. My focus has always been on helping.
