Catherine Cabrera
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCPC, LMHC
You're the reliable friend, the caring partner, the hard worker, the one 'no one has to worry about' because you have it all together. But let's face it - you’re EXHAUSTED and feel like you're running out of super glue trying to keep yourself together. You overthink everything, say “yes” to things and then immediately regret it, and constantly wonder if you're doing enough—if YOU are enough. If you struggle with anxiety, people-pleasing, or feeling lost, you're definitely not alone—help is here for you! I specialize in helping adults who feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, self-doubt, and over-functioning and together, we’ll untangle the all the nitty gritty beliefs and patterns that are keeping you overwhelmed, disconnected, and burnt out.
Therapy with me is a space where you can let go of the mask, explore what really matters to you (not anyone else), and start living from a place of authenticity instead of obligation, since that's what you really want! Whether you’re trying to quiet that inner critic, set healthier boundaries, improve your relationship with yourself and loved ones, or reconnect with who you are beyond the roles you play - I'd love to support you!
Our work will focus on healing the root causes, not just managing symptoms—so that you can feel more authentic, confident, and connected to yourself and others because let's be real, you deserve it! This is your space to be supported, to be seen, to connect with the real you!

Dr. Amanda Malak
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist
Adolescents and adults navigating their faith and sexuality (LGBTQ+ affirming), anxiety, depression, interpersonal challenges, grief, trauma, pregnancy/postpartum, family of origin concerns, identity development, and general life stressors and transitions would particular enjoy working with me. Multicultural couples and families navigating culture clashes, estrangement, faith transitions, and sexual and intergenerational trauma, especially for BIPOC populations, are treatment specialties. Psychedelic psychotherapy preparation and integration are also available with referrals to clinics and others who can provide medication administration. Psychological assessment to clarify diagnoses such as autism, bipolar disorder, ADHD, etc., Independent Medical Evaluations (IME), worker’s compensation, preemployment for first responders, and fitness-for-duty-evaluations are also offered. Approaching patients with cultural humility is a core value at Malak Psychology honoring who you are, your ancestors, and the indigenous land we occupy.
Grounded in decolonizing mental health, liberation, and feminist psychologies, my practice employs multimodal approaches, including dialectical behavior therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, cognitive processing therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, somatic experiencing, emotionally focused couples therapy, Gottman, family systems, psychoanalysis, and more.
Empowering you to forge your unique path, I serve as a guide with an emphasis on agency and self-determination. Collaborative wellness plans allow participants to decide the depth of exploration into subjects. I ensure evidence-based, collaborative, and individualized care by incorporating peer-reviewed research and indigenous knowledge systems.

Dr. Olivia Blandford
Psychologist, Ph.D.
The COVID crisis struck near the end of my formal training, which afforded me the opportunity to extensively train in the delivery of quality therapy using virtual technologies. I am proud to have built a practice from the ground up in which I am equally comfortable and effective in person and on video, and I have worked with clients from every corner of the country. Whether you are down the street or hundreds of miles away, trust that you will feel the same warmth, connection, and attention from me over video as you would face-to-face. I use HIPAA-compliant software that prioritizes privacy and convenience, and I dedicate part of my annual continuing education to telehealth-specific skills to ensure I am always giving you my best.

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.

Soma Aloia, SoulWork Somatics & Somatic Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LCST, HES
Perhaps you've done everything "right." Therapy. Supplements. Books. Meditation. Yet your nervous system still feels like it's carrying something much older than today's stress. I specialize in helping thoughtful, sensitive adults whose symptoms don't fit neatly into one category. Anxiety, chronic inflammation, complex trauma, nervous system dysregulation, depression, CPTSD, relationship patterns, burnout, and feeling disconnected from yourself often share deeper physiological and early developmental roots.

Jessica Rizk, Healing Hearts VA LLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Virtual sessions allow clients to receive support from the comfort and privacy of their own space, whether at home, in the car, or during a quiet moment in the day. For many, this flexibility reduces barriers to care and makes it easier to stay consistent with therapy.
While the setting may be different, the quality of care remains the same. Our clinicians are committed to creating a space that feels safe, personal, and connected, allowing for deep and impactful work without the need to travel to an office.

Mary Sayre
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Ed, LPC
We all carry wounds that cause us to feel shame and a sense of inadequacy. We spend a lot of our emotional energy trying to defend ourselves from those deeply painful feelings. We develop ways to manage those overwhelming feelings. Perfectionism, appearance and people pleasing are among some of the mechanisms that we use to manage these deeply painful feelings.
Understanding ourselves, our wounds and our protective mechanisms, is an important component of healing and reducing shame.

You understand yourself inside out. But the same patterns keep looping. Self-help and talk therapy may have given you skills. But an intensive designed just for you could go further to help your inner relationships reorganize. Constellations, somatic activities, and parts work intensives focus on embodied integration. Aimed at shifting your nervous system, not just your mind, toward safety and ease. Dr. Denise Bike is a psychologist who offers in-depth intensives, using somatic-focused IFS and family constellations. She is Level-3 trained by the IFS Institute and Somatic Experiencing International. She's completed the International Family & Systemic Constellations intensive Facilitator training program (2023-2024), and was intensively trained at ZIST in 2004 by faculty including Bert Hellinger, Ursula Franke, Guni Baha, Berthold Ulsamer, and Gunthard Weber
