Trey Russell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I believe meaningful change happens when people feel understood, challenged, and supported at the same time. My approach is practical, evidence-based, and focused on helping you move forward — not just talk about the past, but understand how it shapes your present decisions, relationships, and patterns.
I work with individuals navigating anxiety, relationship stress, life transitions, identity concerns, and the pressure of carrying a lot for everyone else. Together we identify the thinking patterns that keep you stuck, build emotional clarity, and develop concrete strategies that improve daily life. Therapy with me is collaborative and direct — you’ll leave sessions with insight and tools you can actually use.
I value honesty, personal responsibility, and growth. If you’re ready to examine what’s working, what isn’t, and take intentional steps toward something better, I’d be honored to work with you.

Nick Young
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-Associate
I provide trauma-informed counseling for teens and adults in Fort Worth and throughout Texas who are working through trauma, PTSD, anxiety, stress, life transitions, self-doubt, and painful life experiences. Many of the clients I work with feel overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward, even though they are doing their best to keep everything together.
My approach is warm, collaborative, honest, and grounded in Existential-Humanistic, Person-Centered, and trauma-focused counseling. I believe therapy should be a place where you can feel seen, supported, and accepted without judgment. Together, we will explore what has shaped you, what is keeping you stuck, and what kind of life you want to create moving forward.
As a Marine Corps veteran and former coach, I bring a deep respect for resilience, courage, discipline, and the effort it takes to keep going when life feels heavy. My goal is to help you rebuild confidence, strengthen self-trust, reconnect with your values, and take meaningful steps toward healing, growth, and a more grounded and authentic life.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate in Texas, supervised by Jacqueline Maye, LPC-S.

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.

Zach Ramsey
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC-S, CSAT
You may feel like your life has been turned upside down by addiction, broken trust, sexual behavior, or painful relationship experiences, and many people carry trauma connected to betrayal, emotional wounds, or sexual experiences that continue to shape how they feel and relate to others. You might be living with shame, fear of losing what matters most, unstable relationships, or the constant pressure of trying to hold everything together. Therapy can be a place to slow down, understand what is beneath these struggles, and begin healing not only behaviors, but the trauma and patterns driving them. Recovery and healing are about rebuilding safety, self respect, and connection with yourself and the people you care about. I also provide affirming care for gay and lesbian clients and offer a space where you do not have to hide or explain who you are. If you are ready to begin addressing what has been weighing on you and start creating lasting change in your life and relationships, I invite you to reach out today to schedule a consultation.

Avery Wageman Passion Flower Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
I believe that every person deserves a safe and supportive space to feel heard, understood, and accepted. Life can bring challenges that leave us feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected, but you don't have to navigate those experiences alone. My goal is to create a welcoming environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment while building the tools and confidence needed to move forward.
I take a collaborative and compassionate approach to therapy, recognizing that each person's journey is unique. Together, we'll identify your strengths, address obstacles, and work toward meaningful goals that align with your values and needs. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, stress, trauma, life transitions, or simply seeking personal growth, I am committed to supporting you every step of the way.
I consider it a privilege to walk alongside my clients as they discover healing, resilience, and new possibilities for their lives. My hope is that our work together helps you feel empowered, connected, and capable of creating positive change.

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.
