Grief counselors and therapists in Stafford, TX

What was your path to becoming a mental health provider?

I always had a desire to understand people and didn't realize there was a profession centered around my curiosity until college. I was also very intrigued with trying to understand my emotions growing up and because I struggled, I developed a desire to help others through their life challenges. I started providing support services to families and volunteers through a mentoring agency, which later led to interning at a psychiatric outpatient facility, to working with foster children providing therapy and to also growing my private practice here with Alma working with adults and children.

What should someone know about working with you?

I believe I am relatable and open to the sharing of myself with the understanding and expectation that you will be entrusting your vulnerabilities with me in session. I will challenge your thoughts, your patterns and your assumptions, and I give homework routinely as an extension of our time together to keep you active and engaged until we meet again.

How do you continue learning and building new skills?

I am committed to being a life-long learner. I take courses and trainings annually, listen to and learn from seasoned clinicians and try to stay afloat of new groundbreaking research related to treatments and techniques surrounding mental health.

"Success for me, is helping others create the wellness they desire."

Life has a way of presenting us with moments that feel overwhelming, isolating, or simply too heavy to carry alone. Whatever has brought you here today, know this: reaching out is one of the most powerful acts of self-care you can take. I'm a licensed therapist with over 20 years of experience helping adults reclaim their sense of peace, purpose, and connection.

When anxiety, depression, mood changes, or emotional stress begin to interfere with your daily life, it can feel like you're carrying more than you were ever meant to carry alone. You may be tired of simply getting through the day and ready for a clearer path forward. My goal is to provide a supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and understood. Together, we'll uncover what's contributing to your struggles and create a plan that helps you regain balance, build confidence, and move toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

I’m Elizabeth, a Filipina American Psychiatric‐Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and founder of Her Mind & Wellness. My practice is built on the belief that mental‐health care should feel human, culturally aware, and deeply supportive.

I believe healing happens when you feel seen, safe, and understood. My practice blends modern psychiatry with a nurturing, human approach — creating a space where you can breathe, reset, and rebuild your wellness with guidance that feels gentle, clear, and empowering.

Hello and welcome! From personal experience, I know firsthand how much the right support can bring positive change. I have over 2 decades of experience in education and guidance counseling ranging from early childhood to secondary. As an LPC, I'm experienced in providing therapeutic methods that are successfully responsive to trauma, grief, and conflict resolution in coparenting matters.

Hello!! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a Master's of Education in Counseling and Development, focusing on Marriage, Couples, and Family therapy. Therapy should feel like a safe, supportive space where you can show up exactly as you are. I am passionate about helping a broad spectrum of individuals and couples build healthier relationships, navigate life's many challenges, and building a connection with yourself through a compassionate, client-centered approach.

With decades of experience, I am well-versed in many different modalities. No one approach works for everyone, so I built a large tool kit to have a broad range of tools available. Areas of expertise include individual, couples and family counseling, trauma recovery, anxiety, depression, special needs of gifted and talented, medical social work, impact of illness, traumatic brain injury, grief and bereavement, positive aging, geriatrics and end of life issues. Having been raised in a military family I enjoy working with our veterans, active duty personnel and their families.

Hello, I’m Tracy, a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 25 years of experience walking alongside children, teens, and families. Before becoming a therapist, I spent decades as a teacher, school counselor, and administrator—so I understand what it feels like when school stress, family changes, or big emotions start to feel overwhelming.

In our sessions, you’ll find a calm, welcoming space where you can exhale, feel heard, and begin to make sense of what’s going on. I work especially with teens and young adults facing anxiety, mild depression, school pressures, or life transitions like divorce or moving. Together, we slow things down, build practical coping skills, and create a path forward so you can feel more confident, steady, and in control again.
