GPS Counseling, LLC, Georgia Smith-Lyle, MA, LPC-S
Counselor/Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor
Helping others is a passion I have. I love my job and find it very rewarding when I can help others transition, process and emotionally heal from traumatic, stressful or life altering changes in their life. Listening empathetically is key to helping my client. It’s always important for a client to be heard and understand. I’m sensitive to their processing. My approach is direct, making therapeutic suggestions. But one one of the greatest tools a therapist can have is being a good listener and validating their thoughts

It takes courage to reach out when life feels unmanageable or overwhelming, yet taking even the smallest step will change any situation and choosing to call today will likely set off a chain of events that will move you toward something better.

Kimberly Hansley-Parrish
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
I work with a broad range of clients, which may not seem connected, but inevitably it is. I enjoy working with kids, teens, young adults, moms, and couples. What I incorporate into my sessions is authenticity, humor, and a pragmatic approach. I often say "let's throw spaghetti at the wall and see what works". I love working with those are actively involved in the therapy process. It's a collaboration between myself and the client. I draw from several modalities, so the approach is tailored to each client. I enjoy couples, divorce/separation, neurodivergent people, PDA (in children) and failure to launch.

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. BSA 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.
