Welcome! My name is Zachary Durham, M.S. and I am Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas. I have been an active counselor for the past 15 years and have specialized in marriage and family therapy for most of my career. My areas of focus include anxiety, coping skills, depression, family conflict, stress, relationship issues, trauma and PTSD, and self esteem, amongst others. I have also worked in the hospital setting for 12 years and specialized in brain injury recovery and grief therapy.

I provide psychotherapy services to both individuals and couples for a variety of reasons. I have assisted clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, and stress or need help with anger management, assertiveness, marital discord or maybe need coaching for personal growth and development. I use an integrated practice style that is both strength-based and goal-oriented. Depending on what you want to work on, I may utilize various evidence-based approaches based upon the presenting problem. As long as goals are safe and ethical, my goal is to help you achieve yours in a relaxed and non-judgmental environment.

New couples are often reluctant to seek help. Be it stigma surrounding couple's therapy, or feeling like they have not been together "long enough," couples usually wait until resentment and unhappiness have grown to distressing levels before reaching out for help. According to relationship expert Dr. John Gottman, couples often endure an average of six years of unhappiness before seeking help. Why let years of resentment build up when you can spend that time strengthening your bond and finding new ways to overcome and adapt to life's inevitable conflicts?

Therapy is a place for you to feel known and understood. It is also a place for you to overcome painful experiences. Together, we can work to gain a better understanding of YOURSELF and your relationships. We build on your strengths so you can apply them toward healing, growth, and change. If you are motivated to learn about yourself and discover new behaviors and new thought patterns, we will work well together. We each deserve to know what it feels like to be supported and that is what I am offering you. Please visit my website for more details about my practice. I offer teletherapy and in-person sessions.

We are all on an individual journey desiring balance, joy, and happiness, possessing a strong hunger for hope. If we can simply master how to just be, we may have an invaluable opportunity to connect with inner peace and positivity.

I have the privilege to work beside children, adolescents, and adults in difficult and often confusing times in their lives. My mission is to provide care and clarity for my clients while honoring their values in a way that can strengthen and improve their relationship not only with themselves but with their family and friends as well.

When we encounter loss, trauma, or conflict, we often gain new perspectives about what is working well in our lives, what we would like to change, and how we can deepen our understanding of how to find the life we desire. I'm here to help foster this growth with your collaboration.

Hello! My name is Samantha Meyer and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have a M.Ed. in Counseling from The University of Texas at Austin. As a therapist, I employ humanistic, cognitive, and behavioral techniques to understand my client’s experience of the world, and work collaboratively to develop a plan to help them meet their goals. I believe my clients are the experts on their own experiences, and I strive to create a therapeutic space where my clients can safely explore their pasts while learning skills to stay grounded in their present.

Often it is a life crisis that brings people to therapy; whether it is internal or external. Making the connection of trust and support with the therapist is the first step to the work. I believe in the power of therapy to change patterns that interfere with relationships and satisfaction in life. Over time I have developed great confidence in the benefit of exploring family of origin relationships and how they play out in life. Understanding these patterns is often crucial to change and improvement in anxiety and depression.

Do you find that your anxiety is leaving you feeling really overwhelmed and creating difficulty connecting emotionally with your partner?

Deciding to pursue therapy can be a daunting task, and I work with many clients who have mixed feelings about being in counseling. For some, coming to counseling is a welcomed relief and having a space that is all your own can bring comfort. Others find that it feels scary and overwhelming to seek help, and they may not know where to begin. Whatever your feelings about therapy may be and at whatever point you may be in your process, I’m here to help.

Are you navigating a relationship where anxiety speaks louder than love and belonging? I help individuals, couples, partners, and families within marginalized identities/communities/relational styles understand, accept, and ease their relational insecurities. I welcome the discussion of challenging issues and topics related to infidelity, jealousy, sex and kink, grief and loss, and spiritual trauma, especially if those issues intersect with LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC identities and/or non-traditional relational dynamics including polyamory, non-monogamy, single parent, and blended families.

I prioritize and deeply value the bonds I form with clients, considering them not only vital but also integral to the therapeutic process. At the heart of my work is helping clients in harnessing their natural capacity for growth and healing, enabling them to establish a more meaningful and joyful connection with life.

I am a clinical psychologist specializing in the treatment of anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. I establish a strong alliance with my clients through empathy and respect and work collaboratively with them to achieve their goals. Other areas of my expertise include parenting, divorce, health problems such as illness and chronic pain, grief and loss, trauma, substance abuse, low self-esteem and identity issues.

In meeting individuals and families, my focus is to gain insight into the complex history of each person. After building a therapeutic relationship, I assess what modality would align with their specific needs. I like to set realistic and attainable goals with each client that I work with. Much of my past and current clientele has consisted of teens and college aged students working through transitions. I gather much of my experience from working as a recruiter for more than 15 years.

Disturbing symptoms such as anxiety, depression, disorientation, and explosive anger may be signs that important, but unseen, parts of ourselves need attention. I use a depth psychological approach to help clients develop greater awareness of who they are and what they need, so that they can use their symptoms as pathways to a more meaningful relationship with themselves and the world around them.
