Ricardo Garcia
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Professional Counselor Associate, MS, NCC, LCDC-I
Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure? I'm here to help you explore these feelings, overcome challenges, and create lasting positive change. My expertise includes supporting individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, and identity exploration. As a Licensed Professional Counselor-Associate (LPC-A) and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor-Intern (LCDC-I), supervised by Maribel Arias, LPC-S, I provide compassionate, evidence-based counseling tailored specifically to you.
With experience in clinical research at UT Austin’s Bipolar Disorder Center and hands-on counseling, I blend scientific insight with compassionate care. Using CBT, DBT, neurofeedback, and trauma-informed care, I also incorporate video game therapy, VR, music, and mindfulness to tailor therapy to your needs—combining traditional and innovative methods.

Jill Wiseman
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC-S
If you feel overwhelmed by stress, stuck in spirals of anxiety or depression, uncertain about how to navigate a life transition, or disconnected in your relationship, you are not alone—and change is possible. Many of my clients are high-functioning individuals who appear to manage well on the outside but feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck internally. Some are professionals dealing with job trauma, individuals navigating difficult life transitions, or people who find themselves overthinking, feeling emotionally drained, struggling with motivation and low mood, or committed couples caught in patterns of miscommunication and feeling disconnected.
I help individuals and couples in Katy and the West Houston area find relief from anxiety, depression, stress, job-related trauma, and relationship challenges. Using Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) combined with practical cognitive and mindfulness-based strategies, I help clients process distressing experiences, reduce emotional overwhelm, and develop healthier ways of thinking, communicating, and responding to stress. Many clients find this approach helpful when traditional talk therapy alone has not fully resolved lingering anxiety, stress, or emotional triggers.

Christina Song
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT-S
I believe therapy works best when it feels human, collaborative, and deeply respectful of your lived experience. I offer online therapy grounded in trauma-informed, systemic, and strengths-based care, with a strong commitment to affirming queer, polyamorous, and non-traditional relationship structures.
My approach centers safety, curiosity, and consent—both in the therapeutic relationship and in the pace of our work. I work with individuals and relationships navigating trauma, identity exploration, relational stress, and the impacts of burnout or chronic overwhelm. I also have a particular appreciation for working with helpers and clinicians, especially those carrying the weight of caring for others while trying to care for themselves.
In our work together, I aim to create a space where you don’t have to perform, explain, or justify who you are. Therapy with me is about building insight, strengthening resilience, and reconnecting with parts of yourself that may have been shaped by survival but are ready for something more sustainable and compassionate.

Donna M Torbico - HEAL & GROW for ACoAs
Counselor/Therapist, Recovery Therapist in Private Practice 40 years
FREE INTRO Session - to see if we're a good fit. My main focus is working with ACAs - adults who were raised in an alcoholic / narcissistic family. The long-term goal is to uncover your True Self, develop a Loving Parent voice, heal the Wounded Child, & encourage the Healthy Child to shine.
Together we identify the harsh beliefs you absorbed from your family, school & religion, and work on transforming them into positive do-able ‘rules’ to live by.
EXP: “I know what I know”, “I have a right to my needs”, “”There’s no such thing as perfect”…..
I also provide a safe place for you to experience painful or joyful emotions you weren't allowed to feel growing up. ACA Recovery work is about facing the reality of early damage, and working to overcome the after-effects.
“Trying to flourish in an atmosphere of criticism is like trying to get sober in a bar.”
