Grief counselors and therapists in North Richland Hills, TX

My name is Mysti and I have been a therapist for almost 15 years. I have worked in hosptial settings, agency settings, and private practice. Along with working with clients, I also supervise LPC-Associates who are working on their hours toward full licenure. I have a Master's in Counseling from Dallas Baptist University which was very infuential in recieving my intership at The Samaritan Inn years ago, a homeless shelter in Collin County. I then returned to the INN years later as their Counseling Team Lead and just recently finished my shelter career there as their Chief Program Officer. Treatment areas I love to walk along side are: depression, anxiety, grief/ loss, unexpected life transitions, self identity, faith transitions, cancer journeys, and women's issues.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with

over 10 years of experience helping

people work through life challenges and

the negative thought processes that keep

them stuck. A lot of my work is about

helping clients become emotionally

resilient, using mindfulness and other

practical tools from the theories that fit

each person best. If you're carrying

anxiety, unresolved trauma,

or strain in your closest relationships, you

don't have to sort it out on your own. I

work with teenagers, adults and seniors, including a

lot of men who didn't expect therapy to

be for them.

With over 20 years of experience working in diverse settings, I support children, adolescents, and adults as they navigate challenges connected to the past, present, and future. As a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S) in Texas, I am passionate about the transformative power of therapy and growth that can happen when clients feel safe, supported, and understood. I consider it a privilege to walk alongside clients as they navigate difficult seasons, make meaningful changes, reconnect with their strengths, and move toward healing.

My story is a bit unique as to how I became a psychotherapist. I studied abroad in Costa Rica during college where I learned the Spanish language and where my love of adventure and exploration began. After moving to Los Angeles for several years, I decided to then move to New York City to pursue a career in music which is my first love. I was living in NYC and working for Sony Music on September 11, 2001 which changed my life dramatically. I decided to return to The University of Texas in Austin and obtained my Masters in Social Work in an effort to pursue a career in helping others which is my second love.

My therapeutic approach is grounded in the Relational Model as I believe that relationships, both with ourselves and others, are what allow us each to feel fulfilled, secure, and empowered. My hope is that we can work together as a team to unlock your inner strengths so that you can confidently manage life's stressors in the past, present, and future.

I love working with adolescents and I have a warm, non-judgmental, humorous, but direct approach that seems to fit well with teenagers. I have worked for many years in community mental health and as such have been successful with almost every diagnosis that exists, all age groups, and all genders. I look forward to working with you and your family.

Change can occur but I want to empower you to accept what you cannot change and come up with an effective plan to change what you can!

My name is Kayla Bennett, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have many years experience working with children, teens, and adults in multiple areas.

I have been honored to help many clients alongside their healing journey, and I have been able to witness the positive changes that have helped clients feel empowered and go on to accomplish great things in their lives. If you are ready to take steps towards change and healing, I would honored to help you!

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.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I believe meaningful change begins with transforming the way we think and behave. When we shift our internal patterns, we create space for healthier, more adaptive responses to life’s challenges. While we cannot change the past, we can work together to build new skills that help you navigate the present with clarity and approach the future with confidence.

I specialize in individual counseling for adults and adolescents, offering support for depression, anxiety, anger management, grief, emotional trauma, and adolescent development.

My goal is to help you build resilience, strengthen self‐awareness, and develop practical tools that support lasting, meaningful change.
