In a session with me as your counselor, what you see is what you get. I model authenticity by being present with my clients. You’ll find me to be compassionate, empathetic, perseverant, and even silly at times. I’m a strong believer in the power of talk therapy to ‘get the poison out’ – poison in the form of fear, anxiety, depression, worry, and feeling stuck. I will help you improve your self-esteem, enhance your communication skills, and manage your emotions more effectively. I am also a couples therapist and I am currently finishing my AASECT certification as a Sex Therapist.

My name is Martha Ballesteros. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My focus in practice is primarily on substance use, addiction, codependency, co-occurring disorders, cultural identity, and family systems. My clinical practice experience is primarily with individuals dealing with substance abuse issues and with mental health issues such as depression and anxiety. My approach in proving therapy is to provide a judgement-free and safe zone for others. Seeking therapy can be a challenging step and I would like for you to feel comfortable. I primarily focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing.

Welcome to a journey towards healing and resilience. As a dedicated Licensed Professional Counselor, I am passionate about assisting individuals, couples, and families in navigating the complexities of life. My approach is rooted in a deep commitment to mental health and substance use disorder treatment, with a profound emphasis on fostering principles.

You’re here because you need help. Depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and relationship dysfunction can stifle and hide the person you truly are. You feel inhibited, pressured, and isolated, but throughout it all a a part of you knows that there is still something amazing within you. What stops you from being your authentic self when alone or around others? What stops you from knowing how to take care of yourself? This is what I can explore with you. I want to help you shed what is holding you back and illuminate pain that may be keeping you comfortably stagnant. I want the world to meet who you are.

Are you the person others go to for support? Are you unsure of who you are outside of others? Do you feel uncomfortable asking for help? I work with clients who have had to push their needs aside (loved ones of those struggling with mental illness or substance use issues, people in the helping professions, caretakers, etc.) often manifesting in anxiety, depression, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and low self-esteem. Together we will work to identify your values, needs, and desires and chip away at unhelpful narratives stemming from early life to make space to re-write ones that align with your values and your most authentic self.

I offer 30 years experience as a men's work facilitator, 20 years as a practicing yogi/meditation teacher, and 15 years as a trauma & addictions counselor and coach. If you lean towards a spiritual life view, blending eastern & western principles, I'm the coach for you. I help you integrate trauma-sensitive HeartMath technology, IFS concepts, and Polyvagal Theory to support your healing. Leaning into transpersonal explorations - synthesizing psychology & spirituality, you will come away with a sense of peace and freedom, as well as tangible practices to support you in bringing new life to your relationships, work, and life.

I strive to provide a comfortable environment to honor your feelings and needs, where you can share challenges, celebrations, and everything in-between. I work with individual adults, couples, and families encountering interpersonal conflict, traumatic events, body image issues, disordered eating habits, and relational issues. I also work with clients facing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and life transitions.

Hello and welcome! As a therapist, I use a psychodynamic relational approach valuing the unique needs and desires of each client. I strive to foster a safe, nonjudgmental space for clients to share their own perspectives and emotions surrounding their past and present life experiences while also identifying, exploring, and challenging self-defeating beliefs. I strive to meet clients where they are in whatever season of life they are in. I also consider how multiple systems of oppression and structural inequalities impact my clients' wellbeing and the concerns they bring forth.

I believe there is always hope. Hope to reach balance. Hope to reach peace. Hope to heal. Hope to grow. With the help of a strong therapeutic relationship and appropriate interventions, I believe individuals can learn more about themselves through exploring past and present life occurrences. Within that process, present and future doubts, fears, or concerns can simultaneously be addressed.

I'm India! Thank you for taking the first step on your therapeutic journey of healing and restoration with me! I'm the Founder and Therapist of Couch Conversations and Consulting, a fully online private practice offering quality mental health telehealth services for clients who prefer virtual sessions or may not be able to meet for in person sessions and are seeking a collaborative, compassionate and empowering therapy experience on the road to healing and restoration from the comfort of their own homes. I aim for my work as a therapist to be living proof of the benefits that therapy can be for one’s overall mental health.

If you’re here, you may be curious about supporting your mental health and I recognize that asking for help isn’t easy. Finding a therapist that works for you can be a challenge and I applaud you for taking these steps! My goal is to create a safe space where you feel comfortable showing up authentically so we can explore and embrace radical acceptance. I celebrate all identities and empower others to find the strengths in their own uniqueness. Through the process of unlearning ineffective thought and behavior patterns, we can unleash our innate resilience and begin living life to the fullest.

I celebrate diversity, which means I welcome you. I offer a safe place for you to talk at your own pace about issues that may feel impossible to discuss anywhere else. Focus areas include interpersonal/relationship challenges, LGBTQ+/queer concerns, stress, parenting, anxiety, depression, a general sense of feeling unhappy, and more.

Hi there, I'm Melissa! My name is Melissa Switzer. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based near Austin, Texas. I work with clients state-wide utilizing telehealth. I work best with adolescents to adults, ranging in age from 10 and up. I specialize in anxiety, stress, depression, anger management, ADHD, grief, neurodivergence, trauma, and life issues associated with the LGBTQ-plus community as a straight ally. I use psychoanalytic and Cognitive Behavioral therapy to help clients reach their therapeutic goals.

You’ve heard of unconditional positive regard, but have you ever felt it? At times, it can feel that you give and give to others, but you have nothing left for yourself. Whether you would like to explore your true authentic self or break generational cycles that do not serve you – I am here to walk with you on this journey. If you would like to explore how to heal from intergenerational trauma or hone your existing coping skills and expand them, lets connect. My approach is affirming and based in cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR.

In my practice I see clients of all ages, for therapy and testing/evaluations. I specialize in depression, anxiety, trauma, substance abuse/dependence, behavior disorders and family systems issues. Most of my clients present with a combination of symptoms. I tailor treatment to the specific needs of the client and use research proven techniques to meet the needs of the individual, or family, in a collaborative setting. I teach healthy coping skills to address a wide range of symptoms.

Currently accepting new clients! As Billy Cox once said: "Life's greatest difficulties always happen right before life's greatest breakthroughs." Following obtaining a BA in Psychology, I entered the mental health field over 11 years ago. It was there that I found both excitement and purpose in my work with clients who found themselves facing a wide variety of challenging life events and used this drive to complete an MA in Professional Counseling, gaining further certification as a Licensed Professional Counselor. I look forward to helping both teens and adults work on ways to move towards the goals they wish to meet!
