You feel helpless, hopeless, tired of even trying, and past and current issues keep getting in your way or causing excruciating internal conflict.

Let's work together to identify and understand what may be blocking you from feeling better. Your therapy goals will be the focus of our work together. I listen with empathy, with non-judgement, and help to empower individuals in areas where they feel stuck or defeated. You deserve to enjoy life!

I offer virtual psychotherapy to adolescents and adults with a wide range of emotional and behavioral concerns. I have worked extensively with people struggling with mental illness and with trauma. I work with people in various life stages with various problems. I have provided virtual therapy across the state of Texas since 2020 and I love the convenience and accessibility that teletherapy offers!

**ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS** I have been in private practice for 7 years but I have a total of 16 years of counseling experience. During that 15 years, I have worked with several people from all walks of life with a wide range of struggles such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, etc. and it's always gratifying when they find relief and their symptoms begin to improve and, for many, disappear altogether.

I enjoy working with people from all walks of life looking to gain connection with themselves and others. My clients are often highly sensitive people (HSPs) and those dealing with anxiety, exploring past trauma, and it’s influences on present issues. Many of the people I work with are aiming at improving their lives, identifying and changing patterns, and moving forward in life with growth and purpose. Whether you’re working through a tough life moment, hoping to heal from the past, or are working towards personal growth, my passion is helping you find yours!

Therapy is not something done TO you, it is a process done WITH you. I will be right by your side every step of the way to a healthier you. We will move up and down the mountains of your life together. I look at therapy as a joint process, where the therapist and client work together towards the client’s goals. Everyone deserves a safe place to be heard. It is a big step to seek help for life's ups and downs. I'd be honored to help you!

It can happen to anyone. Life is going along just fine, and then before you realize what happened, you find yourself in a tough situation you never expected. Coping with it has been far from easy, to say the least. You're not alone! If it's a traumatic event, if it's ongoing circumstances that impact your mood and overall functioning, perhaps I can help. I have specialized training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, as well as Solutions-Focused Therapy. I use a holistic approach; considering the whole person in their environment.

We are all born with a need to feel secure, accepted, and valued. Counseling offers a safe space to share your fears and hurts as you navigate the path towards healing. It’s an opportunity to discover personal strengths, and work in areas where you might feel stuck. It allows the time and space to share your stories, your struggles, and your desires. You can gain the tools you need to achieve your goals and make the healthy and lasting changes necessary to steer your life in the direction that you want to go.

Do you find it difficult to focus especially when you're feeling stressed? Can regular, everyday activities seem like more than you can handle at times? I’m glad than you’ve taken this first step to seek support. I’m here to provide support and guidance as you take steps toward reaching those goals that seemed impossible at one point in your life.

Hello! I am Sharla Knippa, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I am honored to meet and work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families to find healing and purpose when they are faced with difficult, confusing, or overwhelming events in their lives. I look forward to assisting you in your journey. I want to empower you by guiding you toward making the choices that will yield the most positive interpersonal outcomes based on your strengths.

Life is full of challenges and hardships that can leave us feeling overwhelmed and unsure of how to move forward. From transitions into motherhood or a new job, to the loss of a loved one or the pressures of adolescence, it's not uncommon to feel like we're being swept off our feet. As a licensed professional counselor associate, I understand the courage and vulnerability it takes to seek help and let a stranger into your most intimate thoughts. My passion lies in building positive client-counselor relationships that leave you feeling heard and seen, without judgment.

I believe people have the capacity to change if provided a safe environment in which to recognize and overcome obstacles or barriers to personal happiness. I am passionate about seeing people experience freedom and seeing marriages healed, and I believe God is the ultimate healer.

Sometimes an individual may just need skills to move through a “life transition,” clarify life goals, and prioritize steps for reaching those goals. This is more of a coaching situation, and I would love to coach you through this life transition. Finally, I view the therapeutic alliance as a partnership requiring mutual trust, respect, honesty, communication, and commitment to do the work.

My purpose is to simply join you in understanding where you are, help comprehend where you want to be, and explore a plan on how you will get there. I believe everyone needs a listening ear, and my desire is for you to do well!

My name is Jennifer Gonzalez. I have been in ministry with my husband for over 20 years. I have seen so many people, young and old alike, struggling with their identity and place in this world. Life can be overwhelming. My passion is to help people find their identity in Christ, and also unravel all the things that we experience in this world. I have worked with children, youth, and adults. There is hope! If you are not seeking Christian counseling, I can still help. No one will be turned away based on belief or life style. I believe all people are created with worth and I would love to walk along side you!

As a counselor, my goal is to assist you in the development and achievement of your own goals. The way we are raised, the way we are taught how to behave, and how we experience life is what makes every one of us unique. My focus as your therapist is to help you process and grow through your experiences. In a session with me, we will work together to learn new and healthy ways of coping, identify and express emotions both past and present, and continue to make steps forward for a future worth living.
