Laura’s Story

Searching for a therapist can be tough and finding a match can be hit or miss especially when you may be in a crisis and need help. Therefore, I want to share some of my experiences with you. It seems fair for me to share that in my past, I’ve experienced depression, anxiety, including panic attacks. That being said, I have experienced “sitting on the couch” as well, to help me become a healthier me, and thus a better therapist. I consider myself a survivor. I feel I am living my best life as a result of asking for help. I use a very open, honest and non-judgmental approach.

When clients are ready to work, I will hold space for them to be open and honest and “put all their cards on the table” so that I can help them heal. I will do my best to help guide you to live your best life, if you decide to work with me.

I was drawn to this profession because I feel compelled to help other people. I was born and raised in Houston and have worked as a clinician for 16 years. I am experienced in trauma work and working with individuals who struggle with alcohol and substance abuse. I’ve worked with individuals in crisis, life transitions, depression, HIV, anxiety, bipolar and self- esteem issues.

At the start, I was drawn to work at a counseling center that specialized in services for the LGBTQ community in Houston. I later worked for a large hospital system as a mobile clinician to assist individuals in the emergency rooms who were in a mental health crisis. I also worked in collaboration with the Houston Police Department (HPD) and Harris County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) as a Crisis Intervention Response Team (CIRT) Clinician to respond to mental health calls from individuals in psychiatric crisis, many of whom were homeless and without resources.

My trainings include: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM), Critical Incident Stress Debriefings (CISD), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eclectic approaches, Reality Therapy, Person Centered. Since 2013, I have worked as a mental health clinician with law enforcement, fire-fighters, veterans and dispatchers. I also serve as mental health professional for debriefings with first responders in the state of Texas.

Let’s work together..

Tammy’s Story

Thank you for considering me as your therapist. Choosing a therapist is very personal and I urge you to be as selfish and judgmental as you need to be in order to find the right fit.

I want you to have as much information you need to make a decision that works best for you.

I’m a healer. I hold a safe space for you to talk through your thoughts or feelings. No judgments.

I am a gay woman who is the youngest of three children, and I am used to fighting to be seen and heard. It makes sense that I am drawn towards fighting for the underdog. Sometimes adults feel like the underdog and need an advocate.

Sometimes the underdog is someone who experienced some form of abuse or neglect as a child and are at a place in their adult life in which they are ready to heal. They might experience flashbacks, anger outbursts, panic attacks, anxiety, depression or an increase of substance use; any of which can cause a strain on personal and professional relationships.

Even law enforcement and first responders feel like the underdog, and I have been serving them since 2013. I believe that healing law enforcement and first responders is a service to our community.

I can help you heal.
