I'm an LPC based in Texas who works with adults navigating addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, and the kind of stress that doesn't go away after a good night's sleep. I'm not the therapist who nods quietly and lets you talk in circles — I'm engaged, I'm direct, and I'll genuinely challenge you when I think it'll help. I also believe laughter belongs in the therapy room. Healing doesn't have to be a grim process, and some of the most meaningful breakthroughs I've witnessed have happened mid-joke. I offer telehealth sessions throughout Texas and accept Aetna, Cigna, Carelon Behavioral Health, and Ascension.

I am a doctoral-prepared nurse (DNP) and a dual-certified nurse practitioner (FNP-C/PMHNP-BC) with more than twenty years of nursing experience. I am great at combining my clinical skills with a holistic approach to patient care, with a goal of helping you feel understood and empowered. I am committed to improving patient outcomes through clear communication and care planning and implementing evidence-based treatment plans.

I believe healing happens in a space where you feel safe, respected, and understood. My approach is trauma‐informed, culturally responsive, and grounded in compassion. I work collaboratively, at your pace, and without judgment. You can expect me to be honest, supportive, and consistent as we explore patterns, build skills, and work toward the life you want. My goal is to help you feel empowered, capable, and more connected to yourself and others. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to help you uncover your strengths, challenge unhelpful patterns, and create meaningful change. I meet you where you are and support you in moving forward at a pace that feels right for you.

When anxiety, depression, mood changes, or emotional stress begin to interfere with your daily life, it can feel like you're carrying more than you were ever meant to carry alone. You may be tired of simply getting through the day and ready for a clearer path forward. My goal is to provide a supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and understood. Together, we'll uncover what's contributing to your struggles and create a plan that helps you regain balance, build confidence, and move toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Counseling is my second career and a profession I genuinely love. My life experiences have shaped who I am as a therapist, allowing me to meet each client’s story with compassion, empathy, and respect. I believe every person deserves to feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment.

I am deeply committed to helping clients navigate life’s challenges, heal from painful experiences, and build a more meaningful and fulfilling life. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for change, I will work alongside you with curiosity, authenticity, and care.

Hi, I'm Tina Simmons, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and founder of Sharon Davis Counseling PLLC. I provide a supportive, judgment-free space where adults can navigate life's challenges, build resilience, and move forward with hope. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use and recovery concerns, life transitions, and the unique challenges faced by veterans and military spouses. I believe healing remains possible—even during life's hardest moments.

Hello! My name is Alex and I have a Master's degree in Addiction Counseling from Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. I specialize in working with individuals navigating PTSD and prolonged grief disorder. I have experience supporting veterans, active-duty service members, and their families through the unique challenges associated with trauma, reintegration, relationships, and emotional adjustment. As a Certified National Anger Management Specialist, my clinical approach also focuses on anger management, emotional regulation, and helping clients successfully navigate difficult life transitions. I also work with individuals experiencing co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders, recognizing the complex relationship between trauma, emotional distress, addiction, and behavioral patterns.

Many of the people I work with are navigating profound turning points — preparing for adoption, navigating post adoption, moving through family transitions, or facing separations that reshape everything they've known. Others have quietly carried the weight of growing up without a strong family foundation, wondering why trusting others, or even themselves, still feels so hard. Whether you're a parent trying to show up for your child while processing your own pain, an adult learning to ask for what you need, or someone still figuring out who you are and what your purpose is, you've come to the right place.

Alicia Hicks, LCSW-S serves children and adults with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, women's issues, and adjustment issues.

Life can look perfectly fine on the outside while feeling overwhelming underneath. You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Whether you're feeling stuck, constantly overthinking, burned out, or repeating patterns you can't seem to break, therapy can be a place to finally make sense of what's going on.

I bring curiosity, honesty, and practical insight into every session. Rather than giving generic advice or simply asking, "How does that make you feel?" we'll work together to understand what's keeping you stuck, identify what's actually changeable, and build strategies that fit your life. I'll challenge you when it's helpful, support you when it's needed, and create a space where you can be completely yourself without worrying about being judged or getting it "right."

Life can feel overwhelming at times, and you don't have to navigate it alone. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with adults facing depression, anxiety, trauma and PTSD, and the kind of stress that quietly wears you down — and I especially enjoy supporting men who may be trying therapy for the first time. My goal is to provide a space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and respectfully challenged to grow. Together, we'll identify what's keeping you stuck, build on your strengths, and create practical strategies that move you toward the life you want to live. I hold a Master of Education from Lamar University and bring a warm, empowering, judgment-free approach to every session.
