Hello, I'm Adriana (she/her). I specialize in supporting adults who live at the intersection of culture, family, identity.

Stacey Head

Therapist

Deciding to start therapy takes courage, and finding the right therapist is one of the most important parts of the process. I want to make that decision a little easier by telling you a bit about who I am and how I work.

I've been in private practice for almost 20 years, and over that time I've had the privilege of working with a wide range of people — from children and adolescents navigating the challenges of growing up, to adults facing the pressures of relationships, career transitions, grief, anxiety, and everything in between. That breadth of experience has shaped me into a therapist who is adaptable, attuned, and genuinely invested in the unique needs of each person who walks through my door.

Over the course of my career, I've worked in a variety of clinical settings before establishing my private practice — and those experiences gave me a well-rounded foundation that I draw from every single day. I've seen firsthand that people come to therapy with different backgrounds, different comfort levels, and very different goals. That's not a challenge — it's something I genuinely love about this work. No two clients are the same, and I never treat them as if they are.

Whether you're dealing with something acute and overwhelming, or a quieter, longer-standing struggle you've never quite been able to shake, I'm here to help you make sense of it and move through it in a way that actually works for your life.

Olga Neverovitch

Olga Neverovitch

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas working with teens and adults. I came to counseling after more than a decade in education, and I have a master's in Counseling and Development from Lamar University.

Many of the people I work with have spent years adapting to their families, cultures, workplaces, or systems that weren't built with them in mind. Sometimes they've adapted so well they've lost track of what they actually want. I focus on anxiety, neurodivergent burnout, LGBTQ+ identity and identity exploration, immigrant and first-generation experiences, grief that often goes unrecognized (pet loss, estrangement, immigration-related loss), and reproductive decisions. I'm a neurodivergent immigrant myself, which is part of what brought me to this work.
