Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC, EMDR

Change can be hard work but it doesn't have to be lonely work. I will be there right along with you. Exploring how the past may be influencing the present and learning to make positive decisions in the here-and-now can be an empowering journey leading to lasting change. We can work through difficult experiences together and cultivate hope, make lasting change and realize goals. I am a firm believer in post-traumatic growth and know from personal experience that with therapy, disciplined effort and self-compassion, post-traumatic growth is possible.

Jonathan Holmsten
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MS, LPC, NCC, BC-TMH
Verified
I believe in client feedback for setting goals and evaluating whether therapy is working for them. It's not my goals or "success rate" that is important but what the client experiences. I value working with clients who know what a 'better life' will look like, will work on getting there, and will provide feedback about progress or resistence. Of course I'm there to provide help when stuck but I value clients to provide their feedback and be engaged in the therapeutic process.

Nancy Nordyke
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC
Verified
Each of us has answers inside of us, coming from our "highest and best self". My job as counselor is to help you get in touch with this inner guidance system, and take charge. Eating disorders, anxiety, depression, and life's surprises, sometimes negatively affect our happiness and well-being. Additionally, socio-economic issues, systemic injustices, and family/cultural expectations can affect how we see life. I can respectfully offer insights and tools to help you move on from anything holding you back from being your highest and best self!
Rachel Howard
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, RYT
Verified
Our minds can be real asshats sometimes, and this often makes us sad, annoyed, frustrated, even down right depressive-- especially in trying times like now. Using a mindful, relational and holistic perspective with psychoeducation, humor and sometimes silliness, I will work collaboratively with you to help you discover the strengths that will allow you to overcome self-sabotaging behavior or any other inner obstacle, and to regain a sense of wholeness and meaning. I only offer telehealth services for the state of Texas.

Jennifer Bommer
LPC Associate, MA, LPC-A, CBIS
Verified
Goal-setting, performance, achievement, and progress are all things we encounter and grapple with from day to day. We sometimes face mounting stress and pressure while doing our best to navigate obstacles and competition. This can leave us feeling frustrated, anxious, indecisive, burned-out, or discouraged. It can make us feel powerless to accomplish or succeed. Performance counseling aims to help and support students, business professionals, athletes, or anyone struggling to perform at their best. This could be a student impeded by test anxiety, a professional struggling with ADHD, or an athlete recovering from an injury.

Marc Geronimo
Marriage & Family Therapist Intern, MBA
Verified
My approach is to help clients become free of their emotional overreactions (especially recurring upsets) and break free from the grip of their past wounds. I also work to help identify conditioning and beliefs that my clients have inherited from their families which are NOT consistent with their own core nature. It's all about becoming more authentic. I believe that the more true to ourselves we become, without the old wounds, conditioning, and societal pressures (such as needing to be seen as a nice guy/girl or needing approval from others) then the more whole and joyful we become in our everyday lives.
Brooke Butler
Marriage & Family Therapist Associate, MA, LMFT-A
Verified
As a relational therapist, I believe subconscious beliefs and programming are responsible for many of our self-sabotaging behaviors. These impact our relationships and are typically inherited during our upbringing. I choose to work with clients who are struggling with the same patterns that have plagued them for far too long, and who are looking to make a serious change in their lives. I also work with clients who are simply feeling lost and looking for guidance in finding themselves. My ideal client is anyone looking to empower themselves and care for themselves, or their relationship mind, body, and soul.
Elizabeth Haberer
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW, E-RYT
Verified
My priority is to form a collaborative therapeutic alliance where together we can cultivate curiosity about your emotional landscape and unique humanity. I work from a psychodynamic framework, which can help us understand your emotions and underlying causes for suffering and the blind spots that create repetitive patterns. The intent is longstanding change and spaciousness, rather than a momentary fix. My clinical specialities include attachment trauma, dual diagnosis, and family dynamics issues. I am also a trauma-informed yoga instructor and can include somatic approaches if indicated.

Drea Fackler #83581
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LMT, MA, APP
Verified
I enjoy helping clients study their habitual patterns. Through repeated experiences we develop habits, but we don’t have to continue living that way. As we mindfully explore who we are, we give ourselves more freedom of choice about our habitual patterns and who we want to be. I have specialized experience in anxiety, depression, chronic pain, self-esteem, relationship issues, life transitions, and trauma.
Jennifer Baca-Davila
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Verified
I believe there comes a time in everyone's life when we will feel lost, disconnected or hopeless. We sometimes lose our ability to deal with life's challenges. This inability to deal with life's challenges can be frightening, confusing and problematic. What is needed at such moments in our life is an attuned and trusted other. Someone who can believe in us when we can't believe in ourselves. It is in this kind of therapeutic relationship where old wounds are healed and we learn to trust, manage our emotions and reconnect to our wise and true self.
