Edna Brinkley
Psychologist, PhD, ART, CCATP
Women hire me to help them overcome overthinking. What this looks like is, together, we figure out which thoughts, behaviors, attitudes, and emotions about situations, people, even yourself, are stressing you out and then teach you easy-to-learn, very practical, personalized, evidence-based skills and strategies to deal with them. We'll work hard to get to the root of what's causing you distress.
Moreover, whether you call it anxiety, panic attacks, or nerves, we believe it could be rooted in not knowing how best to handle your sources and symptoms of stress.
To help us determine if we're a good fit for individual therapy, I offer a free 15-minute phone conversation.

Have you noticed that anxious thoughts and uncomfortable emotions have become dominating forces in your life, often leading to avoidance, escape or other ineffective behaviors?

Rachel Eddins
Counselor/Therapist, MEd, LPC
If you are looking for guidance with anxiety, fears, depression, or trauma and ptsd, it takes courage to ask for help. Admitting you can’t do everything on your own, is the first step toward achieving wellness in a fast-paced, demanding world.
You are an expert on your situation. You understand it better than anyone because you are always in it, but when was the last time you stepped away to look at it from a new perspective? My approach is focused on helping you feel that you are whole, capable, enough, and doing your best - because you are.
Maybe, you just need some new skills to cope with all that goes on in your life. What you have learned in life never covered this. Or, perhaps, you've been feeling stuck in the same cycle of symptoms and are ready to try new skills to gain relief. We will work together to implement practical skills, create new habits, and get you moving again.
My approach is more active. I will be an active participant in your healing journey. Together, we will identify your most important goals and needs and work on a plan to get you there.

Elizabeth Ssemanda
Psychiatrist, MD PhD MMSc
Unlike most psychiatrists today, I offer both medication management and therapy, all in one place. What sets me apart is my holistic approach: from the very first session, we dive into breathwork, a lifestyle assessment, and a full psychiatric evaluation. You don't have to wait to start feeling better.

Casey Mansfield
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC, CCATP, ASDCS
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor providing virtual mental health services throughout Texas for children, teens, young adults, and adults. As your therapist, I believe you are the expert on your own life. My role is to meet you where you are, listen without judgment, and collaborate with you to identify meaningful goals and practical steps toward change. I also recognize that therapy is not always about fixing or changing something—it can be about learning how to sit with the hard things, make space for difficult emotions, and move through life with greater confidence and self-compassion.

Dr. Christopher Lowery, DHSc, CLCP
Clinical Health Practitioner, Board-Certified Life Care Planner
Dr. Christopher A. Lowery, DHSc, CLCP is board-certified, specializing in international telehealth life care planning with a focus on clinical health, rehabilitation counseling, biopsychosocial issues, and global health promotion and prevention issues through the use of holistic evidence-based approaches using a Biopsychosocial Health Consultation Model and the Universal Neurodiversity Continuum (UNC) Model™. Dr. Lowery is skilled in the use of targeted plans, assessments, and developing treatments for behavioral health disorders (e.g., anxiety, ADHD, depression, emotional regulation, employment, trauma, conduct disorder, anger, substance use, etc.), medical conditions (e.g., chronic pain, burns, high blood pressure, inflammation, lung diseases, and diabetes, etc.), and health behavior changes (e.g., weight management, informed health decisions, occupational health prevention, physical activity, disparities, preventive nutrition, tobacco cessation, risky sexual activity, accident prevention, etc.). Other services also provided are catastrophic and disability case management, and non-expert (lay) witness or non-testifying expert litigation support regarding associated disabilities and/or health impairments.
The Universal Neurodiversity Continuum (UNC) Model™ established by Dr. Lowery, is an evidence-informed framework that understands cognitive, emotional, and behavioral traits as existing along a continuum across all individuals.

Jennifer Pinkerton
Therapist, M.S., LMFT, CTP, C-PD
If you have unresolved trauma it can prevent you from having connections with others and inhibit your ability to function optimally in relationships. Trauma responses can force you into adaptive functions that leave you feeling stuck. In therapy, the emotional healing work can be done on your inner child to create new narratives and establish positive self-regard. Often people are driven by unprocessed emotions that keep you in a reactive cycle when you are merely seeking secure and loving connections. We can work together to resolve the pain you are feeling and address what you want and need out of your life, your relationships, and yourself. It is never too late to develop resiliency and transform your life. I provide a non-judgmental space to share with safety and compassion and consider it I privilege to understand your experience.

Dr. Vincent Dyer - Dyer Psychology, Inc
Psychologist, PsyD
Most of the people I work with are functioning — sometimes very well — but privately aware that something deserves real attention. That might be burnout, grief, anxiety that doesn't have an obvious source, a relationship under strain, or a growing sense that who they are and who they've become don't quite line up.
What they have in common isn't a career level or a specific presenting problem. It's that they're serious about understanding what's actually going on — not just getting through it.
My practice is private pay and selective. I also conduct comprehensive psychological evaluations for adults, including ADHD assessment and diagnostic clarification. I hold a PSYPACT license, meaning I'm authorized to provide telehealth therapy across 40+ states — the full list is above.
If this sounds like where you are, a brief consultation is a low-stakes way to find out if we're a good fit.

Jonathan Hock -- Men's Work
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I work with men who feel stuck, burned out, or disconnected from themselves, often after years of carrying responsibility, stress, or unresolved trauma alone. Many of the men I see have learned to keep pushing forward without stopping to reflect. As a U.S. Army veteran, I understand that mindset firsthand. Over time, this can lead to emotional numbness, irritability, and a loss of direction or purpose. My approach is existential, blending psychotherapy with enduring philosophical ideas to help you make sense of yourself, your relationships, and your place in the world.
Our work will focus on self-responsibility, recognizing your limitations, and enacting your personal freedom. I guide men to face what they’ve been avoiding, reconnect with their values, and respond to life with intention. With compassion and honesty, I offer no shortcuts. Together, we'll face difficult truths without ignoring the realities of your life.
Your distress isn’t evidence that something is wrong with you, it is often a signal that something meaningful is asking for your attention. Together, we slow down, make sense of it, and decide what kind of life you want to lead. If you’re ready to stop reacting to life, understand yourself more deeply, and take intentional steps forward, please reach out.

Online in Houston, TX
Houston is one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the United States, and therapists here serve an extraordinarily wide range of cultural communities, with strong demand for bilingual and multicultural practitioners across its many distinct neighborhoods. The city's petrochemical industry and repeated major flooding events — including Hurricane Harvey — have made trauma, grief, and disaster recovery a persistent focus for many Houston therapists. Texas Medical Center, the largest medical complex in the world, provides an extensive institutional backdrop, with a large independent therapy community spread across the Heights, Montrose, and the Energy Corridor. Spanish, Vietnamese, Mandarin, Hindi, and Urdu-speaking therapists are all well represented in the Houston metro.
