Recognizing the need for growth and change can feel intimidating, but taking that first step toward therapy shows courage and a willingness to invest in yourself. I create a warm, supportive space where clients can safely explore past and present experiences. Together, we work to understand patterns, emotions, and challenges that may be holding you back. I view therapy as a collaborative journey where we move at your pace while building insight, self-acceptance, and meaningful change. My goal is to help you reconnect with your strengths and move toward a more balanced, fulfilling life.

My name is Mysti and I have been a therapist for almost 15 years. I have worked in hosptial settings, agency settings, and private practice. Along with working with clients, I also supervise LPC-Associates who are working on their hours toward full licenure. I have a Master's in Counseling from Dallas Baptist University which was very infuential in recieving my intership at The Samaritan Inn years ago, a homeless shelter in Collin County. I then returned to the INN years later as their Counseling Team Lead and just recently finished my shelter career there as their Chief Program Officer. Treatment areas I love to walk along side are: depression, anxiety, grief/ loss, unexpected life transitions, self identity, faith transitions, cancer journeys, and women's issues.

I have over 20 years experience working with adolescents and enjoy working with this age group. I see ages 14 years through the lifespan in-person or virtually.

I am trained in EMDR, a therapeutic treatment for trauma. I offer EMDR therapy to any clients, however, specifically for women who have experienced trauma and distress from a breast cancer journey. As a survivor, I know the emotional & physical toll chronic illness and treatment can take on an individual.

Hi and welcome, I am Empathetic, non judgmental, and down to earth. As an EMDR CERTIFIED therapist- I care deeply for my clients healing.

My "niche" is helping women with trauma (abuse/domestic violence etc). Clients with anxiety are drawn to me due to my calm demeanor. I have been in the field since 2008.

I worked at Beacon Mental Health (formerly Tri County Mental Health) in Kansas City MO for nearly 10 years.

I am licensed in Texas and Missouri. I offer in person in Frisco Texas and telehealth sessions throughout the state of Texas and Missouri.

You don't have to explain your whole story before we get started. Whether you're working through old trauma, anxiety that follows you into every room, or family dynamics that have never felt right, I'm here to help you make sense of it, and move through it.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a Master of Science in counseling. I work with pre-teens, adolescents, adults, and seniors, and I've supported people through trauma, grief, addiction, bipolar disorder, relationship conflict, and some of life's most disorienting transitions. I bring cultural awareness, warmth, and a direct style to every session. Good therapy should feel real, not clinical.

I became a therapist because I believe healing happens in relationship, and I'm committed to being a consistent, grounded presence in that process. I have been in the mental health field in last 5 years and a mental health therapist since 2024.
