Hi there, I’m Patrice Noel, a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing tele-health care across Texas. I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults, and I support people navigating anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, psychosis, ADHD, OCD, trauma, substance use, grief, sleep concerns, eating disorders, and major life transitions. I believe asking for help is a real act of strength, and I’m proud to create an inclusive space for a wide range of individuals, including LGBTQ+ clients and military veterans.
Hello! My name is Pablo Arturo Jimenez, MS, LPC, NCC. I have a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I am currently a PhD student in Clinical Psychology. I always carried a passion for helping people through their most difficult times and needs. I developed a life philosophy that if I have the power to help people, then it is my duty to do so. Helping people has allowed me to work with adolescents and adults who struggle with mental health/substance use disabilities or life adjustments. Like my personal beliefs, my counseling approach is tailored to help you; help you heal, grow, problem-solve, explore, reconnect, empower, find a purpose, and much more. I may not find myself in your shoes, but I can walk alongside with you, listen, and understand. By utilizing a holistic approach to therapy with current research-based practices, you will be in touch with your inner self as well as being in touch with the world around you.
I’m a Houston-based therapist with over ten years of clinical experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults through a wide range of emotional, relational, and behavioral concerns. I believe therapy is most effective when you feel understood, respected, and able to be yourself.
My clinical experience includes intensive outpatient DBT programs, medication-assisted treatment, university counseling, and outpatient and residential treatment for adolescents. I have specialized training in comprehensive Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), including advanced training in DBT Prolonged Exposure and traumatic invalidation. I also incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, psychodynamically informed approaches, eating disorder treatment, and family therapy into my work.
I have particular clinical interests in trauma, relationship concerns, grief and loss, family-of-origin difficulties, personality disorders, mood disorders, and substance use. I work with clients who may be navigating significant life transitions, difficult relationships, longstanding emotional patterns, or symptoms that have begun to interfere with their daily lives.
I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion, understanding, and evidence-based care. My experience includes providing outpatient psychiatric care across the lifespan as well as caring for older adults in assisted living and memory care settings, giving me a broad perspective on mental health across different stages of life. I specialize in treating anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, depression, bipolar disorder, and other mood-related conditions. I work with adolescents ages 13 and older, adults, and older adults who may be struggling with anxiety, emotional overwhelm, difficulties with focus, mood changes, or the effects of past trauma.
The core of my professional experience is derived from working with adults and adolescents within community and inpatient settings. Using evidence-based treatments, my primary focus is upon facilitating healing of the psyche following deep emotional injury resulting from emotional, mental, physical and/or spiritual trauma(s) experienced through various life tragedies and injustices. In addition to my doctorate in clinical psychology, I hold a master's degree in forensic/legal psychology.
Hello! My name is Silvana Padmanabhan. I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas with over 19 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I graduated with my MSSW degree from the University of Texas at Austin. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, communication difficulties, family of origin issues, and life transitions. I have worked with the civilian and veteran population.
You don't have to face life's challenges alone. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, struggling with the effects of trauma, navigating depression, or trying to better understand ADHD, therapy can provide a safe space to heal, grow, and move forward with confidence.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I work with teens, young adults, and families who are experiencing emotional, behavioral, and relationship challenges. I have been working with teens for 10 years in the juvenile system. I started off as a supervision officer in juvenile detention in the long-term program. I moved position to case manager in juvenile probation. Now I am a counselor for Juvenile probation. I understand that every person's story is unique, and I believe meaningful change begins with feeling seen, heard, and understood. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where you can explore your experiences, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools for lasting change.
Whether you're a teen navigating life's pressures, a young adult adjusting to new responsibilities and transitions, or a family looking to improve communication and connection, I am committed to meeting you where you are. Therapy is a collaborative process, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside my clients as they discover resilience, gain insight, and create meaningful, lasting change.
Taking the first step can feel intimidating, but you don't have to do it alone. When you're ready, I'm here to support you on your journey toward healing and emotional well-being.
