Family therapy and counseling in Plano, TX

Hi! My name is Shawn and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor in the state of Texas with a passion for providing a high quality of services to individuals struggling with mental health disorders. I earned my Master’s of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Wayland Baptist University in 2009 and have worked diligently in the mental health field since that time.

Hello. My name is Brandy Porche and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas. I offer online and in office counseling at my practice in McKinney. I utilize hourly sessions and therapy intensives to help families, couples, and individuals heal from dysfunction, trauma, and possible clinical symptoms that hinder healing and living a healthy life emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and relationally. I believe that all families can heal when the truth and accountability are engaged. I see adults and adolescents ages 14 and up. I am a Christian Counselor so my facilitation is faith based. I am a certified Prepare Enrich marriage counselor and I am also certified in anger management.

I’m Oscar Martinez, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas. With over two decades of diverse experience across business, fitness, education, and therapy, I bring a unique, holistic approach to counseling that connects with people from all walks of life. I am a father of two beautiful daughters, and a husband to a wonder wife. I believe that every individual is capable of creating positive change, and that therapy should be a partnership, one where you feel heard, valued, and empowered.

I work with adults, couples, and teens, helping people untangle challenges that often feel overwhelming, interconnected, or hard to name. I believe most struggles don’t exist in isolation—they affect our relationships, our emotions, and how we move through the world. My role is to truly get to know you, understand your story, and support you in creating meaningful, lasting change.

My background is both clinical and academic. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, along with graduate degrees in Philosophy and Sociology, and a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Communications. I’m also a doctoral candidate in Educational Psychology. This combination allows me to look at your concerns through emotional, relational, and systemic lenses—not just symptom-focused ones.

I specialize in trauma work, relationship therapy, and working with preteens and teens—who are often misunderstood but incredibly important to support early. I’ve trained in EMDR, Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), CBT, Art Therapy, and Conflict & Dispute Resolution. Above all, I value creating a space where you feel safe, respected, and genuinely supported.

You don't have to explain your whole story before we get started. Whether you're working through old trauma, anxiety that follows you into every room, or family dynamics that have never felt right, I'm here to help you make sense of it, and move through it.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a Master of Science in counseling. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and seniors, and I've supported people through trauma, grief, addiction, bipolar disorder, relationship conflict, and some of life's most disorienting transitions. I bring cultural awareness, warmth, and a direct style to every session. Good therapy should feel real, not clinical.

I became a therapist because I believe healing happens in relationship, and I'm committed to being a consistent, grounded presence in that process. I have been in the mental health field in last 5 years and a mental health therapist since 2024.
