Dina Hijazi
Psychologist, PhD, CSAT
Hi all,
I’m Dr. Dina Hijazi, PhD, CSAT. My clinical work focuses on the holistic treatment of relationships—with both self and others. This includes supporting individuals, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, intimacy disorders, trauma, and addiction, always with a focus on emotional, psychological, and social well-being. With over 35 years of experience I'm sure I can help you.
My educational journey includes a Bachelor’s degree in psychology from Purdue University, a Master’s from Notre Dame University, and a Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin. Postdoctoral training in family systems therapy and trauma/addiction work was completed under the mentorship of Pia Mellody and Patrick Carnes. I also hold national certifications in Sex Addiction Therapy (CSAT), Multiple Addiction Therapy (CMAT), and training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).
Sharing this work with broader audiences has been deeply fulfilling—whether through The Meadows Lecture Series, The Dallas Free Lecture Series, or speaking engagements at universities, conferences, and schools.
I look forward to connecting with you.

Tiyahna M
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC,LPCMH,NCC,C-DBT
In a world that moves quickly and often demands more than we feel we can give, mental health is not a luxury—it's a necessity. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can offer a path forward. I’m glad you’re here.
As a licensed mental health therapist, my goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Everyone’s journey is unique, and so is the way we approach healing. Here’s what I offer in my practice:
1. Individual Therapy
I work one-on-one with adults and adolescents who are looking for support with:
Anxiety and stress management
Depression and mood disorders
Trauma and PTSD
Life transitions and identity issues
Self-esteem and personal growth
Our sessions are client-centered and collaborative. I draw from evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Solution-Focused Therapy, and trauma-informed care, tailoring my approach to what works best for you.
2. Couples & Relationship Counseling
Relationships can be both fulfilling and challenging. I offer therapy for couples seeking to:
Improve communication
Rebuild trust
Navigate conflict
Strengthen emotional connection
Whether you're in a long-term relationship, navigating new dynamics, or working through a separation, I help partners develop healthier patterns and a deeper understanding of each other.
Culturally Sensitive, Inclusive Care
I honor the diversity of every client I work with. My practice is inclusive and affirming of all identities—cultural, racial, sexual, and gender. I strive to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and respected.
Teletherapy Options
I offer secure virtual sessions for clients who prefer or require remote access. Teletherapy is a flexible, convenient option for those with busy schedules, mobility challenges, or who live outside the area.
Why Therapy? Why Now?
You don’t need to be in crisis to start therapy. Sometimes, just having a space to talk, reflect, and grow can make all the difference. Healing isn’t about “fixing” yourself—it’s about understanding yourself better and learning to live more fully and authentically.

Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
Like many of you, the pandemic profoundly impacted the way I live and work. I moved my practice completely online in the face of COVID restrictions and have not returned to in person work. I was impressed with the way that online therapy offered clients many more options for their work with me and I found clients able to keep up with their sessions consistently and reliably with more connection options open to them. Via safe and secure telehealth sessions, I offer parent consultation for kiddos under 10, online therapy with older kids, teens and families and individual therapy for adults, specializing in trauma and trauma focused therapies.

Dr. Megan Marks
Psychologist, PhD
You’re busy. You’re thoughtful. You’re holding it together—but inside, you might feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or just tired of managing so much on your own. Whether you’re working from home, on the go, or simply craving support that fits into your life, online therapy can help you reconnect—with yourself, your goals, and your sense of ease.
I’m Dr. Megan Marks, a licensed psychologist and owner of The Momentum Practice. I specialize in working with high-achieving adults, neurodivergent folks (especially those with ADHD), and anyone navigating stress, life transitions, or relationship challenges. In our virtual sessions, you’ll find a space that’s affirming, practical, and tailored to you—not just your problems.
Therapy with me is collaborative and grounded in real-world tools, cultural responsiveness, and a good dose of insight (and yes, sometimes humor). Whether you're unpacking old patterns, building new habits, or learning how to rest without guilt, you don’t have to do it alone.
Virtual therapy at The Momentum Practice is just as affirming, collaborative, and effective as in-person work. Whether you're navigating anxiety, burnout, relationship stress, ADHD, or major life transitions, online therapy offers the flexibility to get support without sacrificing connection or privacy.

My approach integrates Imago Relationship Therapy and experiential, body-oriented methods to address depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, and the larger life questions that often underlie them.
I have over twenty years of clinical experience and have worked exclusively online since 2017.
I also teach Focusing — a gentle, experiential practice for working directly with felt experience — outside of therapy. It deepens self-awareness, supports clearer decision-making, and can be learned by anyone.

Shareece Cannonier
Psychologist, PsyD
Are you feeling overwhelmed and emotional on the inside? You work hard to create the life you want, but you feel like it might fall apart at any moment. Do others view you as the strong friend or family member who saves the day, but there is rarely anyone who consistently shows up for you? You wonder if you’re a people pleaser, too hard on yourself, and why others don’t respect your boundaries. Is there past trauma that could be affecting your current relationships that you need to process? Unmanaged anxiety, depression, or unhealed trauma can leave you feeling dissatisfied with life.

Allison Cava
Therapist, LMSW
This is an open and supportive space where you are welcome to be exactly who you are. Many people move through their days feeling unseen, unheard, or carrying more than they’re able to share. Therapy can be a place to pause, reflect, and explore your inner world with the support of someone offering a neutral, compassionate perspective — or simply a space to speak freely and be heard.
