I’m a licensed clinical social worker with a Master’s degree in Social Work, and I’m trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). My approach is practical, supportive, and focused on helping you create meaningful change in your life.

I believe that success looks different for everyone. My goal is to meet you where you are and help you move toward where you want to be—whether that’s improving your mental health, navigating life transitions, or building healthier patterns and relationships. Together, we’ll identify what’s working, what’s not, and develop tools that help you feel more confident and in control.

I strive to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported while also being gently challenged to grow in ways that align with your goals

A big passion of mine is supporting moms through all stages of motherhood. Whether you’re pregnant, postpartum, adjusting to life as a new mom, balancing work and family, feeling overwhelmed, or trying to find yourself again outside of motherhood — you don’t have to figure it all out alone. Motherhood can be beautiful and exhausting all at once, and I love creating a space where moms can feel supported, understood, and able to show up for themselves too.

Mental health care shouldn't feel rushed, intimidating, or like you're checking boxes. I believe the best outcomes happen when patients feel comfortable being honest, asking questions, and actively participating in their care. As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide personalized, evidence-based treatment while remembering that you're much more than a diagnosis. My goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and supported every step of the way.

Life’s challenges can feel overwhelming at any stage—whether you’re navigating adolescence, adulthood, relationships, parenting, or the transitions that come with aging. Anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes can disrupt how you think, feel, and connect with others. Therapy offers a supportive place to slow down, feel understood, and develop effective tools to move forward with greater clarity, balance, and confidence.


Life doesn’t come with a roadmap—and when stress, anxiety, grief, or major changes pile up, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or alone. Therapy offers a place to slow down, feel understood, and begin finding your way forward with clarity and confidence.

I provide a compassionate, supportive space where you can explore what’s holding you back, build resilience, and reconnect with your inner strength. Together, we’ll work toward meaningful change so you can feel more confident, grounded, and at peace.

Who I Work With

I work with individuals across the lifespan, including:

  • Teenagers and young adults
  • Adults experiencing anxiety, depression, or life transitions
  • Women and single mothers
  • Men facing male-specific challenges
  • Older adults navigating aging-related concerns

I also work with couples, parents, and business partners, helping strengthen communication, emotional understanding, and connection.

Hi, I'm TJ — a Marriage and Family Therapist and the founder of A Better You Wellness, LLC. I work with couples, individuals, families, and teens (17+) across Texas, offering both in-person sessions in the Fort Worth area and teletherapy statewide.

My training is deeply relational. I graduated from North Central University with a degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, and I hold additional certifications as a Certified Trauma Professional, Master NLP Practitioner, and Hypnotherapist — training that shapes how I think about healing beyond the surface level. I specialize in relationship challenges including communication breakdowns, infidelity and trust repair, and premarital counseling, along with anxiety, depression, trauma, codependency, career stress, life transitions, and self-esteem.

What sets my approach apart is a philosophy of integration. I believe that meaningful, lasting healing rarely comes from one method alone. The experiences that shape us — especially the hard ones — leave imprints on the mind and body, and I honor both in my work. Clients often tell me they feel heard from the very first conversation, and that's something I take seriously.

I know reaching out for support isn’t always easy, and simply being here is an important first step. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, or simply feeling overwhelmed, you don’t have to face it alone.

I worked in the field for several years under my MSW degree in various roles- (social worker at an inpatient psychiatric evaluation and treatment unit, on a community crisis response team, and in an outpatient setting)- before applying for my licensure approximately six years ago. Bachelor degree major was Psychology and a minor in Child and Family Studies.

Hi, I’m Alisha, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of experience in mental health care. I’m passionate about creating a welcoming, judgment-free space where you feel heard and understood.


I take a personalized, collaborative approach to treatment and work with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, mood disorders, OCD, PMDD, and ADHD, including non-stimulant treatment options. My goal is to help you feel more like yourself again while finding a treatment plan that fits your needs and your life.


While I provide care for a wide range of mental health conditions, I have a particular interest in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). I am passionate about supporting individuals with OCD by helping them better understand their symptoms, reduce the impact of intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors, and improve their overall quality of life. I am also interested in PMDD due to its significant impact on emotional well-being, mood regulation, and daily functioning, and the importance of providing compassionate, individualized care that recognizes the connection between hormonal changes and mental health. Additionally, I have completed specialized education in medication management for OCD to further enhance my knowledge and ability to support individuals navigating this condition.
