Life can become overwhelming when you are carrying anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, anger, grief, or the weight of experiences you have never fully had the opportunity to process. Sometimes you know exactly what hurts; other times, you simply know something needs to change.

I believe therapy should be a place where you can be honest without fear of judgment.

My clinical experience includes working with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional dysregulation, anger, relationship and family concerns, grief, life transitions, low self-esteem, and challenges with communication. I'm especially passionate about helping people understand the connection between their past experiences and present-day patterns. Together, we can identify what no longer serves you, strengthen communication and emotional regulation skills, establish healthier boundaries, and develop practical strategies you can use outside the therapy room. My goal is not to tell you how to live your life. It is to help you better understand yourself, recognize your strengths, and feel more confident navigating the challenges ahead.

Whether you are struggling with something that happened recently or carrying experiences that have affected you for years, you do not have to have everything figured out before beginning therapy. We can start exactly where you are.

Hi, I'm Dr. Karen Frederick--but, I'm not A "Karen". I'm a licensed professional counselor in Texas, and I believe people are stronger than anxiety, depression, grief, or trauma that brought them here. My style blends genuine compassion with a gentle challenge to help you see new possibilities. Faith is part of how I show up for many clients. I'd love to talk with you, pray with you, and work with you on helping you find solutions to the difficulties life brings your way.

You carry things most people never see — the weight of what happened, the part of you that stays on

guard even when you're safe, the quiet exhaustion of holding it together for everyone else. For many

Black and African American adults, there's an added expectation to simply be strong and keep going.

Therapy with me is where you finally get to set that down. We work through trauma, PTSD, and the

stress that builds up when you've never had room to process it — so you can feel steady, present, and

like yourself again.

I'm Anabel, a clinical social worker and certified trauma therapist in TX and WA states. I work with people who are really good at holding it all together — until they're not. If you're exhausted in a way that's hard to explain, carrying more than your share, and wondering if this is just what life feels like now — this is the space I built for that. I work with adults who are holding everything together — managing responsibilities, relationships, and internal pressure — while quietly wondering why it all still feels so hard.

I am a New Yorker turned Texan after receiving my bachelor’s degree from the University of Maryland’s School of Public Health in psychology and family science. I spent two years working in TMS Therapy before my love for learning motivated my continual studies to pursue a master’s degree. I received my social work master’s degree from the University of Texas and obtained my supervision hours at Mental Pain and Trauma Centers working with personal injury lawsuit clients.

Outside of the office, I am a wife and stepmom controlling the chaos two rescue dogs bring to my household, trying to snag some peace and quiet with a cup of coffee and a good book. When others talk about me, I do not want them to label my success by my achievements or job but by the number of lives I touch

I am Dr. Mimi Mincer, better known by my clients and colleagues as Dr M. I am a seasoned psychotherapist and transformational life coach with over 17 years of experience. I have dedicated my career to helping individuals, families, and children navigate emotional and relational challenges. I hold a Doctoral degree from Capella University and a Master’s degree from Stockton University. My doctoral research on parental alienation has led me to pursue a deeper understanding of the harmful impact this family system disruption has on the family as a whole. This work has served as the foundation for strengthening my expertise in high-conflict family dynamics and has provided me with the advanced knowledge I bring to both my clinical practice and my professional peer consultations.

For the last 5 years, I have practiced counseling as a Certified School Counselor in an Elementary Setting. I am currently working as a District LPC who works with all ages from PK-12th grade in the special education and general education settings. I have a masters in education in Counseling and Development from Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas. I currently specialize in trauma-focused CBT with children and adolescents.

I offer telehealth services, making therapy more accessible and easier for clients.

I have a flexible schedule and later evening appointments (after 9 pm) are available if requested.
