Hi, I'm Yulissa! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, grief, relationship challenges, and difficult life transitions. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, struggling with your emotions, experiencing a loss, or simply feeling stuck, my goal is to provide a space where you feel comfortable being yourself and talking openly about what you're going through.

I earned my master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Sam Houston State University and have experience in community-based mental health settings. I believe everyone deserves to feel heard, understood, and supported, regardless of their background or experiences. My style is warm, open-minded, and down-to-earth, and I offer therapy in both English and Spanish. Together, we'll build on your strengths, explore what's been challenging, and work toward meaningful change.

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


Hi, I'm Crystal! I believe life can be challenging enough as is, without having to navigate it with anxiety, depression and racing thoughts. I believe reaching out for help, or just having someone to talk to, is the most important thing you can do. Life is stressful, life is messy and sometimes having someone to talk to can help clear your head. Please don’t overthink things, don’t spend hours looking for the “perfect therapist, and overanalyze the therapy process. I’m here to help- just reach out that’s the first step!

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


I work with individuals who want to process, not just patch things up. My clients are deep thinkers and feelers who seek clarity and meaning as they move through transitions, carry generational trauma, or sense an inner pull toward change. Together, we explore the unseen layers of your story, learning to sit with discomfort, honor emotions, and hear what’s been quietly asking for attention. For those open to faith, I believe God meets us in these tender moments, not with answers, but with gentle presence and opportunities for renewal and grace.

Life can shift unexpectedly-and when it does, the stress, trauma, or emotional pain can leave you feeling lost,

isolated, or overwhelmed. Whether you're healing from abuse, facing a major transition, navigating

relationship stress, or coping with anxiety or depression, therapy can offer a path toward clarity, peace, and

renewal. You're not alone.

Therapist

Virtual • Austin, TX


I’m a therapist who shows up — fully. I don’t sit back and just listen; I stay engaged, ask thoughtful (sometimes direct) questions, and work collaboratively to help you move forward. Clients often tell me they feel genuinely seen, valued, and supported in our work together — like they matter. That’s not an accident. I believe the therapeutic relationship itself can be a powerful tool for healing.

I also bring lived experience into the room. As a gay man and someone who has worked through complex trauma personally, I understand the importance of safe, affirming, and spacious therapy. I know what it means to carry parts of yourself that have long been hidden, and I consider it a privilege to support others in exploring theirs.

Therapist

I believe meaningful therapy begins with feeling genuinely seen, heard, and understood. My approach is Humanistic and Existential, grounded in empathy, authenticity, and respect for your unique story. While my credentials reflect my dedication to the field, my greatest strength is the genuine care and seasoned clinical experience I bring to each person I serve.

I am a Doctor of Psychology with an Ed.D. in Counseling Psychology from Argosy University, a Texas Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), and a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC), with more than 15 years of experience in mental health and education. My academic journey began at Virginia State University, a proud HBCU, where I earned a B.S. in Psychology with minors in English and Modern Dance. I later earned an M.A. in School Counseling, with a focus on Psychology and Marriage & Family Therapy, from Phillips Graduate Institute (now Phillips Graduate University).

My clinical and professional experience spans diverse settings and communities. I have worked in every jail in Los Angeles County and served for several years as a Consulting Psychologist at one of Philadelphia’s largest rehabilitation hospitals. As a native New Jerseyan who has spent much of my adult life in Los Angeles, my work as an educator and professor in multiple states, along with decades as a professional dancer and choreographer, has shaped a deeply nuanced understanding of creativity, self-expression, and the mind-body connection.

As a professor, I explore the psychological impact of media on women’s self-esteem, helping clients navigate comparison, societal expectations, and the pressures of modern life.

Therapy with me is collaborative. I will meet you where you are, listen deeply, and help you develop greater self-understanding, resilience, and a life that feels more authentic, purposeful, and your own.

Therapist

I’m an LPC, offering virtual therapy because I believe that seeking support shouldn’t be out of reach. I offer virtual sessions so you can process and grow from the comfort of your own space. I work with young adults navigating post-secondary choices and adults feeling overwhelmed or overstimulated. I provide practical strategies, guidance, and support to help you manage stress, gain clarity, and move forward with confidence.

Struggling with anxiety, stress, or feeling lost and unsure of your direction? I offer practical skills and strategies grounded in evidence-based approaches. I have experience facilitating group therapy and working one-on-one with individuals. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and focused on helping you build tools for lasting change.

In addition to my counseling background, I also serve as a College and Career Counselor, supporting clients as they navigate academic choices and career transitions. If you need someone to listen without judgment and help you take the next step forward, I’m here to lend an ear and walk alongside you on your journey toward growth and healing.
