I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), who is trained in Play Therapy and Autplay Therapy, which is a specialized therapeutic approach for children and adolescents with neurodevelopmental differences, including autism, ADHD, sensory differences, social anxiety, learning differences, and other developmental or physical disabilities. It is neurodiversity-affirming, meaning it values the unique strengths of each child while addressing areas of challenge in a supportive and inclusive manner. AutPlay Therapy is designed so that parents are not just observers but active, trained “co‐therapists” who work alongside the child and the therapist to meet therapy goals at home twccllc.net. This collaborative approach ensures that the child’s progress is sustained beyond the therapy session, creating a “Co‐Regulation Loop” where parents and children regulate emotions and behaviors together.

With adults or couples, I take a holistic approach to counseling that looks at the mind, body, and spirit. I integrate spiritual practices into my counseling sessions by creating a safe and open space for clients to explore their beliefs and values. My aim is to assist you in overcoming life’s challenges and achieving your fullest potential by exploring deeper meaning and purpose in your life. I use a mix of different methods to tailor my approach to each person, creating a supportive and empathetic environment for growth and healing. My diverse experience helps me connect with people from all walks of life.

Outside of work, I enjoy horseback riding, spending time with my pups, serving at my church’s Youth Ministry, and staying active with CrossFit. These activities keep me balanced and fulfilled, and I bring that energy into my counseling practice.

I am a retired United States Marine who believes wholeheartedly in helping trauma survivors thrive. I help you with new coping skills, manage PTSD, and walk along side of you during the difficult times. I specialize in trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and depression.

I am an experienced therapist and I connect quickly with my clients.

My therapeutic style is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I am highly trained, deeply dedicated to my clients, and committed to providing effective care that creates real, lasting change.

Hi, I'm Emily, I specialize in helping individuals navigate anxiety, perfectionism, self-esteem challenges, life transitions, relationship concerns, and feelings of being overwhelmed or stuck. I also work with couples who are looking to improve communication, rebuild trust after infidelity or betrayal, strengthen emotional connection, or prepare for marriage.

My goal is to create a space where you feel supported, understood, and accepted without judgment. I believe therapy should feel collaborative and personalized, not one-size-fits-all. Whether you're facing a specific challenge or simply feeling disconnected from yourself or others, I'm here to help you move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, a major life transition, or tension in your family relationships? I'm Alexis Fletcher, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas with a Master of Science in Social Work from The University of Texas at Arlington — and I'm here to help, without judgment.

I’m passionate about helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, life challenges and transitions, identity, grief and loss, and relational challenges with compassion and practical support. I utilize evidence based treatment depending on your needs and treatment goals. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with eight years of experience in community mental health in Oklahoma, where I provided individual therapy, group therapy, and crisis intervention. I hold a BA in Psychology from Harding University and an MA in Clinical Psychology from Wheaton College. Before returning to the U.S. in 2023, I lived abroad in France and North Africa for over seven years, an experience that deepened my understanding of culture, transition, and resilience.

Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or worried about your child or family? I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20+ years of experience helping children, parents, and caregivers through big feelings and life changes. As a former elementary school counselor and certified K–12 art teacher, I understand the school, social, and family pressures kids and teens face.

Whether you’re adjusting to motherhood, managing anxiety, navigating relationship concerns, healing from past experiences, or feeling overwhelmed by the demands of daily life, therapy can provide a space to pause, reflect, and move forward with intention.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I work with primarily adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, life transitions, women’s issues, and maternal mental health concerns. I believe that healing begins when we feel seen, heard, and supported without judgment.

My therapeutic style is warm, affirming, and collaborative. I tailor treatment to each individual’s unique needs and draw from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness-based practices, and solution-focused interventions.

My goal is to help you build on your strengths, develop practical tools for everyday challenges, and create meaningful change that aligns with the life you want to live. Wherever you are in your journey, we can begin there.

Hey there! I'm Amanda, and I'm so glad you're here. If anxiety has been stealing your peace, your mind won't stop racing, or you're feeling overwhelmed by life's demands, you don't have to figure it all out on your own. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (M.Ed., LPC), I help teens and adults learn practical tools to manage anxiety, quiet unhelpful thoughts, and build a life that feels calmer and more fulfilling. Outside of the therapy office, I'm a wife, mom, follower of Jesus, avid traveler, and an enthusiastic (but still learning!) home chef. I believe the best therapy happens when you feel comfortable enough to simply be yourself.

After earning my Master's in Counseling from the University of Houston, I gained experience working in both schools and private practice, supporting individuals through anxiety, stress, life transitions, and emotional challenges. I especially enjoy helping people recognize the thought patterns that keep them feeling stuck and replace them with healthier, more empowering ways of thinking. For clients who desire it, I'm also honored to integrate Christian faith and biblical principles into our work together.
