Hi, I'm Maribel Hernandez, a Licensed Professional Counselor with 11 years of experience working with adults. I specialize in helping individuals manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and PTSD in supportive, nonjudgmental environment. My approach is collaborative and focused on helping you build practical skills, gain insight, and create meaningful change.

I am a therapist with over 30 years of experience working in a variety of treatment center settings, helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges with compassion and care. Throughout my career, I have specialized in treating abuse-related concerns and supporting clients in their healing journey. I work with children ages 10 and older, adolescents, and adults, providing a safe and supportive space for growth, recovery, and resilience. My broad professional background has allowed me to serve diverse populations and tailor treatment to each client’s unique needs.

I work with adults who are used to being the dependable one and have quietly run out of room. Most of my clients aren't in crisis — they're tired, stretched thin, and a little uncomfortable admitting it. I'm a Texas-licensed clinical social worker, I see everyone online, and I'm

straightforward. If something isn't working in our sessions, say so and we'll change it. I'd rather be useful than polite.

Hello! I am Peace Popoola, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with a passion for helping individuals and families navigate life's challenges. I am also certified as a Perinatal Therapist (PMH-C). You don't have to be "fine" all the time.

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.

I work best with clients who are navigating anxiety, grief, trauma, life transitions, and everyday stress. Many come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, emotionally exhausted, or unsure of how to move forward. My ideal clients are looking for a supportive space to process what they are carrying, better understand themselves, and begin healing at a pace that feels right for them. I believe people heal best when they feel truly seen, heard, and understood. My approach to counseling is grounded in kindness, empathy, consistency, and genuine human connection.

For the past 20 years, I have worked in educational counseling and mental health support with children and adolescents ages 5–18. During that time, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside students and families through some of life’s most challenging and meaningful moments. For the last 14 years, I have also practiced as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), helping clients build emotional resilience, confidence, and practical tools for everyday life.

My experience includes working extensively with anxiety, executive functioning challenges, academic stress, goal setting, grief, and trauma. I understand how overwhelming life can feel when emotions, responsibilities, or past experiences begin to weigh heavily. I also know that healing and growth are possible with support, patience, and the right therapeutic relationship.

Reaching out for support takes real courage, and I am glad you are here. I am a psychologist who works with people navigating trauma, anxiety, and depression. I believe you already hold the strengths and experiences to build a life that feels genuinely meaningful, and my role is to help you fi nd and use them. If that resonates, I would love to connect.
