I have extensive experience working with individuals who are grieving, families who are struggling in their relationships, and with those who are facing challenges in their lives and in their relationship with God. I do individual counseling as well as marriage and family counseling. I focus on communication skills, coping with stress and anxiety, trauma, and healing past hurts.

You do not have to live a life plagued by depression, anxiety, and mismanaged stress. Whether you have a history of trauma, are going through a phase of life transition, or struggling in your relationships, there is hope.

I believe in the resilience of the human spirit. Life brings many hardships and challenges, and it brings us opportunities to learn and grow. I have worked with many people who battle anxiety and depression, and still others working to move past traumatic experiences or addictions. Whatever circumstance you may be facing, there is hope! I believe that people in need of positive change desire an element of self-efficacy and control over the areas of their life that can indeed be brought under their power. This sense of control then contributes to better relationships, health, attitudes, and a more positive life!

Together we can overcome barriers and create goals to achieve a healthy and productive life. I want to help you along the journey to healing and working through difficulties that are causing pain and stress in your life.

Life is a journey and sometimes that journey leaves people broken without the tools to know how to "fix" the issues. Are you experiencing brokenness right now? It is my job to help clients learn how to use their strengths so that clients can grow to their full potential. Counseling can also help establish healthy boundaries, heal from a traumatic circumstance, and learn self - discovery.

I enjoy assisting people that understand that it takes work to change behaviors. People that are struggling with life issues, depression, anxiety, marital struggles are all those I enjoy teaching tools to allow them to utilize to change. I am trained in EMDR and certified in Level 2 in Restoration Therapy and Marital Affair Recovery and Licensed to Supervise Associates in Counseling.

Welcome! My name is Zachary Durham, M.S. and I am Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas. I have been an active counselor for the past 15 years and have specialized in marriage and family therapy for most of my career. My areas of focus include anxiety, coping skills, depression, family conflict, stress, relationship issues, trauma and PTSD, and self esteem, amongst others. I have also worked in the hospital setting for 12 years and specialized in brain injury recovery and grief therapy.

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist and Chemical Dependency Counselor with six years of experience. I spent more than ten years working with veterans and their families, coping with deployment, PTSD, and family disruption throughout their military careers. I utilize a wide range of modalities such as Client-Centered Therapy, Couples Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Family Systems, Family Therapy, and Structural Family Therapy. I firmly believe that people are people regardless of their chosen labels or the ones society puts on them.

Paralyzed, drowning, devastated, broken, stuck. I have heard many of these descriptions in initial appointments with clients. I am then humbled and amazed as these words evolve to relieved, empowered, valued, strong, and resilient as we work together in treatment. I am a marriage and family therapist offering teletherapy and in-person therapy services to my fellow Texans. In treatment, I focus on working with you to develop and maximize your distinct strengths to overcome the concerns you are presently encountering. I use research backed approaches that are uniquely tailored to you.

At times we all struggle with life changes such as job change or loss, the ending of a relationship, the loss of a loved one, parent-child conflict, or family-marital conflict. These changes can cause feelings of sadness, depression or anxiety. I look forward to working with clients who are seeking help with navigating life's ups and downs.

My name is Debra Stonewall. I am a licensed Professional Counselor along with a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor. I take a Person-Centered approach to therapy. I pride myself on helping my clients feel connected instead of evaluated. My specialties are anxiety, depression, mood disorders, personality disorders, marriage, and trauma. I also have extensive knowledge and understanding of the military community because my husband served 30 years in the military. I have been exposed to and lived through some of the unique problems military families and soldiers experience.

I am an LPC-Associate supervised by Sharyn Delgado, LPC-S. Maybe you have never considered working with a therapist because finding the right one feels intimidating. Sharing your struggles and vulnerabilities with strangers can initially be strange or awkward, but I am passionate about supporting clients like you. I look forward to working with folks who are facing everyday issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, LGBTQ+ issues, relationship strain, parenting, vocational transitions, as well as children or adolescents who are having difficulties with school or disabilities.

As a counselor, I believe that everyone possesses the innate capacity for growth and healing, and I'm dedicated to walking alongside my clients on their journey to self-discovery and empowerment. With my warm and supportive presence, I strive to create a therapeutic alliance that fosters self-acceptance, resilience, and positive change. Whether I'm guiding clients through the challenges of anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or personal development, I'm known for tailoring my therapeutic techniques to meet the unique needs of each individual.

Life can include so many exciting, adventurous, pleasurable planned or unplanned experiences that make it interesting, while other experiences can be overwhelming, unexpected, scary, lonely, or even dangerous to live through. ​You are NOT alone; these experiences are common in human nature, and we don't always have the best skills to manage through them and we end up being left with our own devices (I like to call these your "survival skills"). These devices have got you through majority of your life and they worked, but maybe know not as well as they did before...

Life can feel like a jungle when we have problems that are holding us down. There is not a single person that has lived very long that has not experienced some issue that seems to control their life. If this is where you are today, know that the support you will receive through therapy can help. While you cannot go back and change the past, you can -- through a therapy plan that is designed specifically for you-- develop a better understanding of the past events, enabling you to resolve challenges in you life and approach life with a clear focus.
