Annette Crivellaro

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


I’m a licensed clinical therapist in Texas with a master’s degree in Direct Practice Social Work, earned in 2016; proudly a first-generation college graduate! I believe everyone's background, values and traditions shape how they understand healing, connection, and resilience. I have always been one to honor and respect the diverse cultural identities, traditions, and lived experiences in others and within myself. Throughout the years, I've been attuned to how therapeutic experiences can show up in different ways when one is open in empathy, self-awareness and commitment to make positive changes.

My practice is rooted in trauma-informed, holistic therapy—supporting the mind, body, and spirit as interconnected pathways to healing. I believe therapy is a deeply personal journey that unfolds through curiosity, compassion, and self-awareness. Through an integrative lens in our sessions, my goal is to help you feel grounded, empowered, and supported —co-creating a safe, calming space where you can tune into yourself, process what’s been heavy, rediscover your strengths and find lasting healing on every level.

I hold certifications in:

  • Critical Incident Stress Management (CCISM)
  • Trauma-Conscious Yoga Method (TCYM)
  • Callahan Techniques, Thought Field Therapy (TFT-Alg)
  • Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP)

My training includes:

  • Somatic Therapy
  • Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)
  • Solution-Focused Therapy
  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills & mindfulness
  • Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
  • Perinatal Mental Health

Hello! I'm Lina, a compassionate psychotherapist specializing in complex trauma, anxiety, depression, relational issues, and self-esteem. I believe that meaningful change begins with feeling genuinely seen and understood. My approach is warm, thoughtful, and engaged, and I view therapy as a collaborative process built on curiosity rather than judgment.

Therapist

Hi, I’m Corey. Life can get complicated, and sometimes the patterns that once helped us cope begin creating new challenges. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, struggling in your relationships, carrying the weight of past experiences, or finding yourself stuck in habits you can’t seem to break, therapy can be a place to slow down, understand what’s happening, and start making changes that feel possible.

David Head

David Head

Therapist

Virtual • Dallas, TX


I’m David Head, LPC—an existential psychotherapist with more than a decade helping people work through anxiety, depression, trauma, LGBTQ+ concerns, relationship and interpersonal struggles, motivation blocks, compulsivity, and the deeper exhaustion that comes from feeling disconnected from your own life.

I hold a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Capella University and am a doctoral candidate in Counselor Education at Sam Houston State University, where my research focuses on identity, emotional dissonance, and the inner experience of helping professionals. My path has taken me through community mental health, residential treatment with children and families, school-based programs, and extensive telehealth work. I’ve seen how personal pain often intersects with bigger systems—work, family, culture—and I bring that grounded perspective without ever losing sight of you as the author of your story.

What matters most to me: You already have the capacity to choose, to take responsibility for your thoughts/feelings/behaviors, and to build a life that feels more aligned. My job isn’t to fix you. It’s to walk alongside you with curiosity, straight talk, and respect for your autonomy so you can develop the self-awareness, confidence, and tools to navigate whatever comes next—on your terms

Being told I "talk too much" in grade school has really worked out for me. I have 15 + years of experience working with diverse populations. Those populations include: homeless persons, LGBTQ+, those with chemical dependency, those living with HIV/AIDS, adolescents, college students, incarcerated persons, and senior adults. My experience and education has afforded me the opportunity to provide psychotherapy (which includes teletherapy), group therapy, consultation, and outreach services. I received my Masters in Mental Health Counseling through Capella University. I am dedicated to diversity, inclusion, and equity.
