Building a gut and brain-friendly eating plan that supports your mood, weight, and digestion? Free yourself from envy, guilt, and shame! Reclaim a more energetic, joyful, and fulfilling life with family, friends, and special occasions....and feel peace with food using mindful eating.

If you are looking to gain skills to handle all of life's uncertainties interwoven with compassionate yet professional care, then your search is over. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor registered with the Texas State Board of Examiners of Professional Counselors who encourages my clients to think outside of the box regarding life's curve balls while we collaborate on the best approach for success. I am trained and certified in Motivational Interviewing, Moral Reconation Therapy utilized to assist juvenile offenders as well as Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address issues of abuse and trauma.

I understand that your perception is your reality. My name is Elina Kharmats, and I have 10 years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor working with individuals, couples, families, and groups. I practice integrative therapy, which combines elements from different therapeutic modalities, and personalize the treatment according to the needs of each client. Some of these approaches include person centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, family systems therapy, and gestalt therapy, among others.

My belief around therapy is to focus on what you want to accomplish, drawing from strengths you already possess. This tends to be more active and interactive. Most of my focus has been with individuals and couples that are facing an impasse, realizing they might not have the tools to move forward. For some, it may be an ongoing concern like managing anxiety/depression, enhancing communication, healing from 'the past'. For some there is an experience or event that is prohibiting forward movement... relationally, be it enhancing stability, increasing intimacy or overall improvement in the quality of relationship.

Hi there, I am honored to be a catalyst to healing and change in your life. Everyone’s story is unique and challenging in its own way. I believe life is a journey of learning how to be your best self, and this is not always easy. Sometimes we need support in learning how to learn about ourselves. I believe therapy can be an effective tool for gaining insight into who you are now, who you want to become, and how to get there.

In my practice I focus on Freedom - The freedom to love and be loved authentically. In life we can be held back by obstacles we can't see as well as by obstacles we can see. I specialize in helping clients working to free themselves from those roadblocks. Successful clients have entered my office asking questions like: "No matter what I say, my spouse hears something different." "Why am I doing this, again?" "I've done everything I know, and not advancing at work," "Why won't these thoughts (fears) leave me alone?"

Do you ever feel like words fall short of expressing how you truly feel? I understand how intimidating reaching out for help can be, but art therapy allows us to express ourselves with our visual voice rather than words. Even better yet, art therapy does not require any prior experience or creative skill because it is about the process rather than the final product. I enjoy working collaboratively with clients of all ages and I am passionate about providing a safe and creative space for healing and growth where you feel supported, seen, heard, and understood.

Relationships are hard. Each person brings in their expectations, perceptions, and history, which can cause a break down of communication, connection, and a lack of intimacy. If you are ready to take the next step towards a fulfilling relationship, I can help. I will walk with you step by step to help you develop the skills necessary to navigate conflict successfully, express your feelings more fully, and connect on a deeper, more intimate level.

Are you overwhelmed with life right now and just feel like you're not yourself? Have you been told you're too sensitive or take things too personally? Are you struggling in your relationships? I help individuals who are experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-worth, eating disorders, relationship challenges and childhood trauma. I have a special interest in working with the highly sensitive/empaths. I'll help you learn healthy coping skills for the here and now, while also taking a look back into your history to find what's getting in the way of happiness and healthy relationships. Together, we'll build your positive self-worth.

When I speak to people facing transitions, they are often devastated, confused and stuck. A safe space to feel heard, encouraged, and validated is enough to begin a new journey. My name is Katrina Brown, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with sixteen years of experience. My specialties include working with individuals, couples, and families dealing with divorce/separation, blended families, and absent parents.

Do you feel stuck? Unsure of who you are? Afraid to live your best life? We all feel emotions like grief, hopelessness, anger, anxiety, shame, aimlessness or isolation at some point - life happens, right? But if how you deal with your feelings hurts more than it helps, then maybe it’s time to try something new. I work with adults and teens to explore why they’re stuck and what changes to make so they can break free. Therapy can provide new ways of thinking and new strategies to deal with stress. Change can be hard and scary. But if we do it right, you won't just feel better - you'll actually BE better.

My focus is on trauma, addiction, and relationships.

Also, past client concerns included: personality disorders, eating issues, grief, anger, divorce, parenting, codependency, GLBTQ, multicultural, spiritual, DID, and men/women issues. Call for a free consultation.

I believe in the simple and healing power of feeling heard, understood and supported. A professional counseling relationship with me provides a confidential, nonjudgmental place for you to be yourself without fear of rejection. Together we will build up your strength to take whatever next steps you choose. I will draw from my training and experience to offer new perspectives, strategies and insight to empower you to manage what feels unmanageable. I am also trained in EMDR which is effective in addressing the deep wounds of trauma and more.

Who do you turn to when you're the one everyone else turns to? Would you like to speak freely without concern for negativity or backlash? Do you have trauma, a family issue or a change that needs to be discussed without being minimized? Are you not feeling how you'd like to but can't put it into words?

Carl Rogers once said, "When a person realizes he has been deeply heard, his eyes moisten. I think in some real sense he is weeping for joy. It is as though he were saying, "Thank God, somebody heard me. Someone knows what it's like to be me." We all experience times in our lives where we just need to be heard, to be validated, to find some direction. It is my belief that a therapeutic relationship with a genuine therapist who provides an authentic, nonjudgmental, safe environment is the most important factor for growth and positive outcomes.

Are you having problems staying grounded while isolated for COVID-19? Worried and scared about your self, or a loved one? Not sure how to spend your time? Worried you might slide backward cognitively? I typically work with older individuals and individuals with brain disorders (dementia/TBI/MS) to cope with day to day challenges and life changes. Consider reaching out for a consultation to see if couseling might be right for you and/or your loved one.

Throughout my career I have had the opportunity to work with a variety of individuals who have experienced trauma, sexual assault/violence, relationship/ family issues, adjustment related disorders, personal growth challenges, mood disorders, anxiety, anger management, parenting, discrimination, cultural identity and acceptance, individual psychological problems, and loss and grief.

When you can't connect to people you love, it's painful. It feels like you try to connect, but they get farther away. Life can be hard, and even harder when your past gets in the way of your present and future. Sometimes issues such as being LGBTQ+,culture, religion, or a being a blended family makes relationships harder or more complicated. Sometimes, people need to work through their own "stuff" and sometimes, couples or families need to come together to try and get their relationship back - but an even better one is possible! There is no story with too much shame or guilt to bring to me, I create a safe place for healing!
