Psychiatrist

Great to meet you!


I am a board-certified adult psychiatrist and have been practicing psychiatry since 2017. I work with adults from diverse backgrounds, including professionals, students, parents, women, men, and LGBTQ+ clients, who may be navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma/PTSD, insomnia, OCD, perinatal mental health, stress, or major life transitions. My approach is warm, collaborative, evidence-based, culturally sensitive, and trauma-informed. I offer psychiatric evaluations, medication management, psychotherapy, telehealth, and second opinions, with a focus on helping you feel heard, understood, and supported as we work toward meaningful change.

Andrea Brown

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


Hi, I’m Andrea Brown, a Licensed Professional Counselor with 4 years of experience helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, and life’s challenges. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck in your thoughts, or struggling to balance everyone else’s needs with your own, you’re not alone. Therapy can give you the space to slow down, understand what you’re experiencing, and figure out what you need to feel better.

My goal is to create a supportive, judgment-free space where you feel comfortable being yourself. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, women’s issues, and cultural or identity-related challenges. Together, we’ll explore what’s been weighing on you, build practical coping skills, and help you feel more confident in handling life’s ups and downs. You don’t have to have everything figured out to get started — we’ll take it one step at a time.

Britney Monahan

Britney Monahan

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


My approach to therapy is conversational, down-to-earth, & grounded in genuine human connection. I bring 14+ yrs of clinical knowledge & evidence-based practices to sessions w/o making therapy feel overly formal. I believe you should be able to laugh, cry, get mad, be honest, ask questions, & say whatever is on your mind w/o fear of judgment.


Together we will slow things down, make sense of what's happening beneath the surface, challenge what isn't working, & find ways forward that actually fit your life. There will be honest conversations, thoughtful insight, practical tools, and - when appropriate - a little humor along the way.

Hi, I’m Melissa! Thanks for visiting! My ideal client is someone who’s ready to take accountability and implement change. I believe accountability is one of the strongest foundations for growth. When you can own your choices and patterns, you can shift them and move toward your highest self. With 20 years of experience as a social worker, I support individuals who are navigating depression, anxiety, stress, anger, and self-esteem challenges. I also have experience working with people who have been impacted by foster care, domestic violence, court system, family conflict and traumatic events.
