Phillip McCulley
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CSAT
If you’re looking for a therapist who can help you strengthen your relationships, reconnect with yourself, and feel more confident in who you are, you’re in the right place. I have specialized training in working with relationship challenges, sex addiction, sexual concerns, trauma, and identity-related stress, and I work with both individuals and couples who want meaningful, lasting change.
I also provide LGBTQ+ affirming therapy and support clients in a wide range of relationship styles, including non-monogamous relationships. Offering online therapy allows me to work with clients who might otherwise struggle to find the right fit.
Whether you’re working to improve communication, heal from past experiences, or better understand yourself and your relationships, I’m here to offer a supportive space where real change can happen in your personal life and in your relationships.

Unchained Brain LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
Unchained Brain is built on the belief that therapy should help you make sense of your experiences, not just cope with them. I work with adults who want a thoughtful and supportive approach to therapy, especially when stress, anxiety, cognitive concerns, or health changes begin to affect daily life. Clients often tell me they feel heard, understood, and relieved to finally connect the dots between their thoughts, emotions, and brain functioning. If you’re looking for a therapist who combines compassion with clarity, and helps you move forward with confidence, I’d love to connect. Clients often seek me out when they want clarity, structure, and a deeper understanding of how the brain, emotions, and daily functioning are connected, including support with thinking skills, organization, and cognitive changes.

Alanna Preylo
Therapist, LMSW
You may feel worn down in a way that is hard to explain. Not just stressed, but deeply exhausted from carrying Pain, Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, or feeling misunderstood for far too long. Maybe you are questioning your worth, your relationships, or whether things will ever feel real again. When the weight becomes too much to hold by yourself, therapy can be a place where you finally feel seen, supported, and understood. You do not have to explain your pain or face it alone. Healing is possible, and together we can begin making space for relief, connection, and hope. Contact me today to learn more about how I can help.

Shawna Damiani
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Hi, I'm Shawna. I'm really glad you're here — and I know that finding the right therapist can feel like a lot. My hope is that by the time you finish reading this, you'll have a sense of who I am and whether we might be a good fit.
I work with adults who are carrying things that feel heavy — whether that's the weight of past trauma, the complexity of relationships that keep hitting the same walls, or the experience of moving through a world that wasn't quite designed for the way your brain works. I specialize in trauma and PTSD, relationship challenges, and supporting adults with ADHD and autism who are often figuring out a lot about themselves for the first time.
A lot of my clients come to me feeling like something is wrong with them. My job — and honestly, my passion — is helping people see that they've been responding to hard things in the most human ways possible. Healing isn't about fixing yourself. It's about understanding yourself.
My approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. I'm not going to sit silently and nod — I show up as a real person in the room with you. Therapy with me tends to feel like an honest, sometimes even humorous conversation, grounded in real tools and genuine care.
If any of this resonates, I'd love to hear from you. Reaching out is the hardest part — and you've already started.

Amarillo sits at the heart of the Texas Panhandle — a vast agricultural and energy-producing region — with a therapy community shaped by its role as the commercial and medical center for a large, largely rural surrounding population. The city's predominantly conservative, faith-oriented culture means spiritually integrated therapy is a mainstream part of the local offering rather than a specialty niche. Baptist St. Anthony Health System and Northwest Texas Healthcare System provide institutional mental health anchors for the Panhandle region, with a private therapy community that serves both city residents and clients traveling in from smaller surrounding communities. Amarillo's significant Hispanic population and growing refugee and immigrant communities create ongoing demand for bilingual and culturally informed therapists.
