Find a therapist in Texas — covered by insurance

Hello!! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a Master's of Education in Counseling and Development, focusing on Marriage, Couples, and Family therapy. Therapy should feel like a safe, supportive space where you can show up exactly as you are. I am passionate about helping a broad spectrum of individuals and couples build healthier relationships, navigate life's many challenges, and building a connection with yourself through a compassionate, client-centered approach.

I’m Emily, owner of Alive and Whole Wellness and a Houston-based therapist. I specialize in therapy for lasting change by helping my clients heal at the root of their anxiety and move forward in life alive in purpose, whole in identity, and free from fear.

What to expect through therapy

Imagine a space where...

• You have a safe, trusting relationship where you freely and securely share your story.
• You identify the roots of your struggles and experience healing in mind, body, and spirit.
• You learn to reconnect with your sense of self and step back into life alive, whole, and free.
• Your past no longer keeps you feeling stuck, but becomes a part of your testimony as you move forward.

Hi, I’m Brittany! I’m a Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Family Life Educator based in Richmond, TX. I specialize in helping women navigate complex family systems, heal from relational trauma, and do the deeply personal work of figuring out who they are outside of the roles they were handed. Come unfiltered.

If therapy were easy, everyone would already be doing it. I work best with people who want a direct therapist, not just a sounding board. I believe that healing comes from doing the work. Real, lasting change demands full commitment—a willingness to show up daily to become the best version of ourselves.

With 24 years of experience as an LPC, my professional background spans leadership, clinical practice, and mentorship. Throughout my career, I have learned that people value connection - whether it’s through shared goals, emotions, or by being seen and heard. I work alongside adults and teens (16+) facing addiction, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, relationship difficulties, and parenting or teen struggles. Supporting military service members and veterans is also an important part of my work.

Life can get heavy—whether you’re juggling family dynamics, relationship stress, parenting challenges, or just trying to stay afloat. Maybe you’ve always been the dependable one, the person everyone else leans on, but you’re starting to realize it’s time to focus on yourself. You want less tension, more connection, and practical tools that actually make a difference. You’re not after a quick fix—you just want someone real to help you sort things out and walk with you through the hard parts.

My educational background includes a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from The University of Texas of the Permian Basin and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Texas Woman’s University. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in TX, CO, and PA, and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in ME, as well as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in OH.

Hi, I’m Crystal. I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Texas State University. I’ve spent the last four years focused on counseling and therapy, along with nearly 10 years of prior experience in clinical social work and case management. My background allows me to support clients navigating complex life challenges with both compassion and practical guidance.

I work primarily with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. I also have extensive experience supporting individuals impacted by domestic violence, sexual assault, and other trauma-related experiences. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where you can process your experiences, build resilience, and move toward meaningful change.

My goal is to earn your trust, it is never the other way around. Let’s journey together in having you rediscover self-compassion, empowerment, and inner strength.
