Hi, I’m Christopher, a board‐certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree and a background in both healthcare and military leadership. My experience includes working in high‐intensity medical environments where I supported individuals facing significant stress, trauma, and life transitions. I specialize in helping people manage anxiety, depression, trauma‐related concerns, and high levels of stress. My goal is to provide care that is empowering, holistic, and supportive, helping clients build resilience and regain a sense of balance in their lives.
Hi! My name is Dawn Gutierrez. I am a dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of experience in healthcare.
My clinical experience spans across Family Health, Women's Health, Behavioral Health, Emergency and Trauma comprehensive care at the Military Hospital for over 15 years. I then specialized in gender-affirming services such as hormone therapy and ongoing care for transgender and gender-diverse individuals. While providing care for the LGBQTIA community, I was drawn to continuing my education in Mental Health Care to provide Psychiatric services to this community as well.
I approach each patient with respect for their lived experience, identity, and goals, emphasizing collaborative decision-making and individualized treatment plans. My work is grounded in trauma-informed care, clinical excellence, and a strong belief that affirming, accessible healthcare is essential to both mental and physical well-being.
I have extensive experience delivering care through both telehealth and in-clinic settings, allowing me to meet patients where they are and reduce barriers to access. I am deeply committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based, and patient-centered care in a safe, respectful, and affirming environment.
Outside of work I enjoy spending quality time with my family, which brings balance to the work I love. Caring for others—both at home and in my practice—is at the heart of who I am.
I’m a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who provides a warm, compassionate, and judgment-free space for adolescents and adults. I support clients experiencing anxiety, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, or feeling stuck and uncertain about what comes next.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I specialize in providing therapeutic services to adults (18+) in individual, group, and couples formats. My foundational background with mental health services comes from my experience working in inpatient psychiatric settings with severe mental disorders and substance use/addiction. I am also fluently bilingual in Spanish.
I'm Carol Hernandez, a bilingual therapist, mother, and proud Latina woman deeply connected to my culture and community. I grew up between Southern California and the Rio Grande Valley, went to college at UTRGV in South Texas and did my graduate studies at Baylor University. Over the past five years, I've gotten to work in all kinds of settings such as hospitals, inpatient and outpatient programs, and alongside medical teams, which has given me a pretty wide view of how mental health shows up in people's lives. I love working with BIPOC, LGBTQ+, immigrant, and neurodivergent communities. I specialize in issues of anxiety, depression, chronic stress, trauma, big life changes, grief, post partum depression, or just feeling overwhelmed and not feeling like yourself.
Born and raised in Dublin, I have provided counseling, coaching, and wellness workshops for individuals and organizations across the US, Europe, and Asia for the last eight years.
I offer a space for individuals to explore issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationships, identity, loneliness and meaning.
