In life we experience unpleasant moments during our journey with ups and downs; sometimes it can feel more overwhelming rather than positive. It might look like dissolving relationships personal or professional, difficulty expressing emotions, or anger getting the best of you. It could be spending too much time in your head than living in the moment and missing out in life.

Seeking therapy can be a scary and nerve-wrecking process. As a Black female therapist, I strive to create a safe and welcoming space for my clients. It is my goal to ensure that my clients are understood and supported through their therapeutic journey. My approach to counseling is inclusive and provides a unique experience that promotes healing, growth and the ability to let go.

Have you been trying to stay afloat on your own? Are you overwhelmed with work, kids, or school? Do you have nights when you are unable to fall asleep and the lists keep running in your mind? You don't have to go on this journey alone. I empower you to develop skills that you have always had inside and may not have tapped into them yet. Stop second guessing your decisions and find your voice and inner peace.

I have over 14 years of experience working with children, adolescents, families, and adults. I have worked with those living with trauma, anxiety, depression, developmental differences, along with behavioral issues, family issues, and school-based concerns. As a military spouse and parent, I find importance in working with veterans’ and their families to increase connection and resilience. In treatment, I use a wide variety of strength-based, client centered treatment interventions including play therapy, solution-focused therapy, EMDR & Cognitive Behavioral therapy. We will work together to identify the problem and create goals.

I have been practicing in the mental health field for over 14 years beginning as a licensed professional counselor and now as a licensed psychologist in the state of Texas. My previous work experiences have been in community mental health centers, crisis centers, family medicine, and hospitals as both an inpatient and outpatient provider in the San Antonio, Texas and Massachusetts communities.

Some of us are surviving through life, but are we really living? Life comes with many challenges and obstacles that can impact our mental health and overall well-being. While taking that initiative in seeking counseling can be overwhelming and scary, it is the first step to your journey of healing and that shows strength. Creating a safe space for you to express yourself is of upmost importance to me and I do so by demonstrating genuine empathy and establishing trust in the work I do with clients. I aim to facilitate growth and empowerment by taking a collaborative approach with clients as we go through the therapeutic process.

You may be feeling lost, confused, scared, and hopeless with the circumstances in life. You have tried talking to friends, reading books, and even going on YouTube for answers. All the information gained may help for awhile but doesn't quite do it for you. There may be sleepless nights, crying spells, unable to sit still, and wondering, "What is wrong with me?"

Now accepting new clients! Have you ever felt like your anxiety or depression has taken control of your life? Have you felt like no one seems to understand you? It can be hard to going it alone when caught up with a lot of emotions but no one understands you. You are not a lone and can become free from anxious and depressing thoughts.

Empathy, trust, shared presence. My belief is the process of therapy helps bring self-awareness to the strengths that one may not realize they have. Being human, we all face challenges and obstacles, but with non-judgmental support and understanding, inner strengths may flourish to face life's stressors in healthier, productive ways.

Welcome to my world of healing and growth! I'm Brooke and I bring a unique blend of quirkiness, creativity, and compassion to my work as a therapist. In my therapy practice, I embrace a new age approach, blending traditional therapeutic techniques with mindfulness, EMDR, and other holistic modalities. Before diving into the world of therapy, I spent years as a teacher, nurturing young minds and fostering a love for learning. Drawing from my teaching background, I approach therapy with a playful and educational spirit, empowering clients to explore their inner landscapes with curiosity and insight.

Many times, one struggles with things that happen in life, in total shame and secrecy. The stigma of whatever we may be facing, may grow even more, if one is a person of faith, and you desire someone to help utilize your faith with the healing process. If this is you, allow me to introduce myself. I'm more known as Pastor Sammy, and I can help with Christian Counseling, and more, to help you overcome with peace of mind and heart. Standard Counseling, and other Adjunctive Modalities like Spiritual Freedom, Inner Healing, and assessments are offered through my practice (Alcohol & Drug Assessments / Anger & Mental Health Assessments).

With an understanding that you can't do it on your own, you’ve decided to seek help. If the weight of anxiety, grief or health concerns are becoming too much, I'd like to work with you to help you become your best self. If you are beginning to feel overwhelmed with life's challenges and don't know where to start, perhaps we can partner to develop personalized goals that meet your needs.

Welcome! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor with over 8 years of experience in helping individuals and communities thrive. As a dedicated LPC Supervisor, I’m passionate about guiding LPC-Associates through their journey to becoming fully licensed professionals. My supervision approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, compassion, and a commitment to fostering personal and professional growth.

It can be difficult going to therapy for the first time, but it can be a key to identifying and removing obstacles in your life. I specialize in working with couples and individuals who have a desire to stregthen their relationships, recover their intimacy, and create a more fulfilling life. I believe the quality of our lives are highly informed by the quality of our relationships. Unfortunately, there may be barriers that get in the way of building meaningful connection with yourself and others. Unprocessed trauma is an issue that is often the root cause of strained relationships, addiction, and overall poor mental health.

Throughout our lives we collect scars through tough experiences or traumas. My hope is for you to understand that it’s okay to struggle, and it’s okay to have support and guidance. I pride myself in creating a safe and comfortable space for my clients, because comfort is part of the healing process and moving forward. I provide support with empowering individuals to overcome their struggles. I strive to build strong therapeutic relationships that consist of trust, transparency, and empathy.

Life can throw many challenges our way that may be in or out of our control. Many times we can feel stuck with our emotions and the problems that surround us. Navigating the difficulties of these realities is possible without feeling overwhelmed or helpless. At Grit & Grace Counseling we believe that clients have the power and ability to create more peace and happiness for themselves, their families, and their community. We strive to instill hope, perseverance and guidance, to help clients reach their goals in their therapeutic journey. We have several therapists in our practice that we can help match with your needs.

Our experiences in life can present us with challenges, stress, depression, anxiety and emotional turmoil in the here and now. Everyone can benefit from emotional support to help navigate the difficulties of life, especially when our own coping and problem skills don't seem to manage what we are experiencing. Initiating therapy is the start of building our coping skills in navigating through the course of life and achieving our goals. I believe that the therapeutic relationship between client and therapist is critical in a non-judgmental and safe setting. I want to help you achieve your goals and reach your full potential.

I believe that life is a journey and that sometimes on that journey, we get lost and need help to find our way. We can also have things happen to us that are difficult, if not almost impossible to deal with alone. You may need someone who is not personally involved in your life to listen to you. Someone who has personal experience with the issues you are facing who can help you find your way back to a meaningful, fulfilling and productive life. I am contracted to Grow Therapy but work remote from home which seems to work better for many people.
