LGBT therapists in Waco, TX

Do you feel alone or misunderstood, or are you looking for an unbiased person to listen? You’re not alone. My name is Karie Talkington. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor, and I have been working with children, teens, and adults for the past 24 years in various capacities. I help clients and families navigate anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes with compassion. I specialize in autism, ADHD, and trauma. My goal is to help you feel more secure, confident, and connected—to help you live your best life!

Starting therapy can often make people feel nervous and unsure about what to expect. I understand how hard it is to trust a stranger with such personal thoughts and feelings. I have been working to help others create a safe and productive space to share and grow since 2013.

I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing telehealth care across Texas.

I prioritize collaboration and open communication, so you’ll always be an active participant in your care. My goal is to help you feel confident, empowered, and supported as you navigate your mental health journey.

Hello! My name is Cristina and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor located in Texas. I help Millennials and Gen Z unlearn negative self-talk, perfectionism, and overthinking so they can stop feeling not-good-enough and start enjoying the phase they’re in

I am a former educator who specializes in anxiety/depression. As such, I enjoy supporting clients working through stress, anxiety, depression, sleep concerns, and behavior regulation. I take a holistic, personalized approach and enjoy using technology and behavioral insights to support lasting growth.

Every person has a story. The culmination of experiences in one's life shapes how they view themselves, their relationships, and the world. I have a passion for helping clients celebrate their unique strengths and gifts they share with others. With experiences in both private practice and hospitals, I have noticed a particular need for clients to separate their view of themselves from their current difficulties and circumstances. In spite of where clients may find themselves at the moment, my belief is that they have overcome every difficulty, challenge, and trauma that they have faced up to the present moment. As such, they will withstand their current circumstances, and will again declare victory.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with clinical experience providing counseling services to children, adolescents, and adults presenting with a range of mental health concerns, including trauma-related symptoms, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and interpersonal difficulties. I have worked with diverse populations and across varying levels of clinical acuity.

My clinical approach is trauma-informed and evidence-based, integrating cognitive-behavioral and skills-focused interventions to support emotional regulation, symptom management, and insight development. I prioritize establishing a therapeutic environment that is collaborative, structured, and emotionally safe, allowing clients to engage in treatment at an appropriate and clinically indicated pace.

I am committed to providing ethical, client-centered care and supporting individuals across the lifespan in improving psychological functioning, resilience, and overall well-being.
