Welcome — I’m glad you’re here.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master of Science degree and over 12 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through life’s challenges. My practice is grounded in the belief that every person has a unique story worth understanding and the inner strengths needed to create meaningful change. Whether you’re navigating relational struggles, personal growth, or emotional stress, my goal is to support you in discovering what’s possible and moving toward the life you want.

I am a warm and creative counselor dedicated to helping clients reach their full potential. I enjoy working with individuals ages 3 through adulthood, guiding them on their mental health journey through empathy, collaboration, and goal setting. By using research-based practices, I strive to empower each person to grow, heal, and become the best version of themselves.

I am Mary Nganga, a PMHNP-BC in state of Texas. I have more than 12 years of experience in mental health. I graduated with Bachelor in Nursing from University of Texas Arlington, and Masters in Nursing from Texas States University, San Marcos. My free time, I enjoy spending time my family, pet (Ruffy), and gardening.

Hello there, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Texas. I received my Masters from Southern University at New Orleans and have been practicing for 16 years. I help my clients struggling with life stressors and issues to become the best version of themselves. Are you ready to become the best you that you can be?

I believe that struggles with mental health can make us feel like we’re on the outside looking in — different, misunderstood, or even broken.

Many of the people I work with identify as the “black sheep” in their families or communities — thoughtful, self-aware, but carrying more than they should have to on their own.

My goal is to help you shift how you see those experiences. What feels like a weakness or flaw often has the potential to become a source of strength, insight, and growth.

I specialize in working with people who feel like they don’t quite fit in.

Taking the first step toward change isn’t easy—but you’ve already done it by starting your search for a therapist.

Now, I invite you to take the next step and schedule your first appointment. Whether that’s with me or another provider, what matters most is that you commit to investing in yourself.

You deserve support, healing, and a space where you can grow. If you’re ready, I’m here to walk alongside you. My focus is on helping individuals clarify their vision for the future while building on their existing strengths to foster growth, resilience, and lasting change. I take a motivational and strengths-based approach to counseling, offering encouragement and support as you navigate your path through life’s challenges.

Hi, My name is Dallas Smeltser and I am a licensed professional counselor-supervisor. I am here to help provide you with encouragement and support. I've spent over 30 years doing this work — not because it's easy, but because it matters. My clients tend to be people who are dealing with something heavy and real: loss, trauma, depression, substance use, or the kind of slow-burning stress that builds until something breaks. Many of them are men who never saw themselves as 'therapy people,' and I respect that. I don't push, and I don't project. I show up, I listen, and I help you figure out what actually needs to change — and how to change it.

I am deeply passionate about supporting parents as they navigate the many challenges that can come with raising a family while maintaining healthy, loving relationships with their children. Balancing the constant demands of parenting while also trying to care for your own needs, identity, and well-being can be incredibly exhausting. Many parents find themselves feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or disconnected from the version of themselves they once knew.

What I’ve discovered through my work with parents and families—and through my own experience as a mom of two—is that prioritizing a parent’s mental health is not selfish; it is one of the greatest gifts you can give your child. When parents feel supported, healthy, and emotionally grounded, it creates the foundation for a stronger, more connected, and more rewarding parent-child relationship.

Mental health counseling is a form of help that can be tailored to meet the diverse needs of many individuals. Some mental health professionals, including me, intentionally incorporate spiritual or religious elements into their therapeutic practices. I do so because I primarily serve a Christian community, because my clients also adhere to religious principles in their own lives, and I subscribe to the belief that people experiencing distress can especially benefit from the help of God and spiritual empowerment.

I'm part of AuDHD Practice PLLC, a group practice for late-diagnosed and neurodivergent adults who are ready to stop apologizing for how their brains work and start building a life that actually fits. Think less "fixing yourself" and more "finally getting the user manual you were never handed."
