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.

Madison Short Conteh - Joy in the Morning Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, RPT
I've been practicing as a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Play Therapist for nearly a decade now, and I love this work because it is so full of hope. Usually, when people come to see me, they're not feeling very hopeful, because the problem feels too big to handle. It's sucking the joy out of their relationships, or their life, and they're overwhelmed. Life has let them down, they've been disappointed, and now they're stuck in a spiral of the worst feelings. Some part of them though, knows there is hope out there, that things can be better and they can have relief. That's where therapy, and my role in your story, comes in. I get to hold the hope for you, because I know this path. I've been walking it with people just like you for years. I know that parts of this path are hard, or scary, or beautiful, or relaxing, and I know that all of it is heading towards you experiencing freedom. We walk it together so that you don't have to hold your own burdens,
I have special skills that help us along the path like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). This is a way we use the brain's natural ability to process information, and alleviate feeling stuck in a past experience or experiences. It's especially useful for trauma.
I use Person Centered Talk Therapy. We create the space to sit together with what's on your mind or your heart, to give it what it needs, and move through it.
I use Child Centered Play Therapy so that kids can have the same benefits of therapy as adults, but in a child-attuned way. Kids aren't ready to talk through things, they express them through behaviors. Play therapy gives kids the opportunity to play through those behaviors and find healing.
With parents I offer Child Parent Relationship Therapy training, where I give you the same tools I use as a therapist, but to use within your own home.
In all of this, I often integrate things like somatic work, parts work, and sandtray work.

Dawn Nelson
Counselor/Therapist, LCSW-S, ACSW, SAP, CART
I am caring and non-judgmental; I realize that talking about problems can be difficult; however, clients find that sharing their concerns with an objective therapist enables them to progress to solutions quickly. I recognize that people seek therapy when what they have tried previously did not work.

Melinda Switzer - Beauty for Ashes Trauma Therapy and Treatment
Counselor/Therapist, Melinda Switzer, MA, LPC, NCC
As one who has experienced complex trauma myself, I believe I can relate to my clients’ experiences and needs. My philosophy is no one should have to live under the shadow of trauma and how it affects the body. Trauma can be tough on survivors, but there is help and hope for healing. Most trauma victims exhibit some signs and symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This can lead to Anxiety, Depression, Disassociation, and a myriad of other mental illnesses. These are the areas I specialize in by offering healing and hope to my clients allowing them to be in control of their trauma and not their trauma being in control of them. Strong mental health is so important and can change the trajectory of your life by helping you go from debilitating disorders to manageable and healthy mental health.
