Hello- My name is Jordan. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate in the state of Texas. I am supervised by Jaime Telfeyan, LPC-S, NCC.

At the end of therapy with me, you will feel a sense of full restoration and experience freedom from your emotional baggage.

**Not Accepting New Clients*** You may be struggling with perfectionism, always beating yourself up for not being good enough... or maybe anxiety has taken hold and started to interfere with your ability to be content, fulfilled... and you just wish you could finally wake up one day with a more quiet, at-ease mind. Or you could be a habitual people pleaser, constantly ignoring your own needs (and maybe struggling to even know what your needs are). What you do know is that you're overwhelmed and unsure why you can't break these painful cycles. ***Additional Service: Emotional Support Animal Letters for those who meet the criteria.***
Maria Salcido
Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT

Being a therapist represents the culmination of a life-long dream for me. When I was a child, I liked to imagine that I had magic powers that could make sad people happy. At that time, I didn’t know I wanted to be a therapist, I only knew that I wanted to help. Throughout my career, I have seen a real-life version of this daydream with my clients. During their initial sessions many people exhibit sadness and seem to be laboring under a heavy emotional burden. However, through sessions of therapy, I have seen many clients become drastically more relaxed, as if their load has become lighter- now that is magic!

When overwhelm, trauma, relationships, illness, and transitions impact us it can be difficult to navigate life. I offer an authentic, compassionate, and experienced presence to help you connect with wellbeing and possibilities. I welcome your full self.
Loren Grimes
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
Hello and welcome. I work with individuals that are seeking relief, change, and understanding of painful emotions and experiences. Therapy can be like feeling through the dark for your self. The good news is that awareness does the work! A difficult part is, there is no one way to do it, and it can be quite difficult to do alone. To put it simply, we can't see where our own distortions are. Working with a professional therapist gives a container for trust, freedom, and honest exploration. This allows one to understand the intricate webs that connect to those seemingly unrelated symptoms, patterns, and experiences.

Noah S Garcia
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC-S, NCC
Verified
As a trans guy and gender affirmative therapist, I know how scary it is to interact with providers who are poorly informed about issues facing the trans and nonbinary community. Having a clinician who is informed and affirmative can make a huge difference. I specialize in helping individuals navigate their gender journey and provide support to the LGBTQIA+ community. Since we are more than our gender or sexuality, I also work with a variety of other issues such as depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, general life transitions, self esteem, assertiveness and boundary setting, to name a few.
Samantha Synett
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW

You feel like you've lost yourself. You know there's something wrong, but you haven't been able to figure out how to get yourself back on track. Maybe you feel stuck, unmotivated, and paralyzed by the feelings of overwhelm, frustration, or sadness. Your thoughts and emotions are all over the place, and sometimes, you feel like a burden to others. There's a part of you deep down that hopes and believes things can get better, which is what brought you here! You want to get to the root of the problem and take action. You want to walk away from therapy with a renewed sense of peace over your life and pride in yourself.
Michael Mahan

Do you lack love, joy, and peace? Do you remember a time when you felt those? Life is a constant process of change, but sometimes we get off the particular path of change which we had wanted. Relational conflict, anxiety, depression, anger issues, substance abuse, addictions, unresolved trauma or grief and loss all are symptoms that indicate that it is time for help to get back onto our personal path of growth.
