I love talking to couples about every type of issue that comes up from infidelity to how to squeeze the toothpaste. I practice Emotionally Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Come see me, be open and honest and let's fix this thing. I also love talking to Men about issues like dating, divorce, sexual dysfunctions and career issues. I have a special place in my heart for police officers as I have 30 years experience in that field (now retired). I understand the unique difficulties cops and their families face.
John Fontenot
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Verified
My goal as a counselor is to first set a firm foundation of trust and comfort. Second becoming aware of clients' presenting issues or challenges, then provide tools to manage and move forward with a healthy and productive life. Clients will quickly learn I'm here to support and encourage them in a less formal role than traditional counselors. I'm not a touchy- feely counselor but do approach my sessions with empathy. I have a very expansive history of highs and lows and learned myself that a little outside help can be life changing. - Proud US Veteran

Cynthia Pratt Pena
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, MSW, LPC
Verified
You realize you need help with the distress and anxiety you feel in some of your relationships. You are not feeling like yourself and wonder how you got to this point. Are you thinking “I need something to change. I just need some direction and support”? Maybe you're not sure what needs changing or even how to go about it. What you do know is that you are exhausted – tired of thinking about all the things you could do or should do. And while you go through a day, a week, a year “doing” what you can, you know there is more to you than this. You are not alone. With support and guidance, you can make changes to get better.
Regina Carrillo
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, RPT

I understand that life is full of challenges and when those challenges directly effect you as an individual or your family and especially your children it can feel overwhelming. In therapy we can address those feelings individually or as a family. Everyone is different in how they express and handle their feelings and so therapy is there to help you figure out what works for you, your family or your children.
Dr. Jacquelyn M Strait
Psychologist, PhD
Verified
I help successful Texas professionals figure out what’s missing. If you don’t know why you’re not happy, let’s talk. If that harsh Inner Critic berates you, let’s talk. Maybe Imposter Syndrome follows you around. Maybe you had an unstable childhood, and no matter how much you achieve, you can’t shake that feeling of being “less than” others. You’re lonely, anxious, and hard on yourself...even though everyone around you thinks you’re so impressive! I help people just like you quiet the Critic, ditch the shame, and feel alive and happy, often for the first time in years.

Jacquelyn E. Poteet
Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFTS
Verified
I chose the path of family therapist, most simply stated, because human beings do not live in a bubble. I believe that connectedness, feeling known and understood by others, has the potential to cultivate wellness despite one’s circumstances and/or history. My passion is grounded in partnering with clients in their journey to enhance their quality of life far beyond their expectations, which often begins with guided self-reflection. Through the utilization of a holistic lens, I work with clients to develop self-worth, to generate motivation to step outside of their "uncomfortable" comfort zones, and to assert healthy boundaries.

Danielle Fyffe
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, NCC, LPC

Hi! As a clinically-trained therapist, I want you to know that the struggles you face and the traumas you have experienced do not have to define you. You have the ability to create a new path for yourself, to live the life you really want to live. I would love to help you create that life. As a Christian counselor, I believe God created perfection and placed it all in the Garden of Eden. Unfortunately, sin entered the picture and people have been struggling with the effects of sin ever since. Sometimes that struggle is beyond our resources and understanding. We need to have someone help us through life's troubles.

You do not need to keep trying to cope with disturbing memories. EMDR sessions can relieve the emotion and sensations that are tied to the event and that keep getting triggered, causing endless pain. It is my personal and professional desire to help you gain clarity and peace so that the rest of your life can be fully lived with intention, awareness, and you can actually experience joy again. I can walk you through decreasing the challenges of anxiety, depression, disruptive behavior, academics, communication in relationships, and education of positive parenting practices.

Do you feel your anxiety and depression take the reins of your life, affecting your ability to make small decisions? Sometimes our overthinking and second guessing take away the happiness and fulfillment we need to function in a productive way, often missing the potential for a fruitful life. Your ability to shift the negative thinking patterns and get out of the dark cloud can benefit you to lead a rewarding life and improve the relationship with yourself and others. I've had the privilege to work with individuals in both inpatient and outpatient settings.
