Therapy does not mean “Failure”. However, it is a manner to help clients overcome their problems safely, effectively, and became the better version of themselves. There are many reasons for people to seek out counseling — grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and relationships are among the most common; however, they do not know the best course of action to take. Sometimes you might need an unbiased viewpoint to put things into perspective. Allow me to help you embrace life adaptively.

Hello, Thanks for taking the time to learn a little more about my views and me. I am devoted husband and father of three. I currently resides in Houston, TX. Where I formerly served the community as a Juvenile Probation Officer / Substitute Teacher (HISD). While working as a Teacher/JPO, I develop the necessary skills and drive to push further and become a counselor to further help mold young minds. I now serve my community as a Therapist for at-risk juveniles and their families at Harris County Juvenile Probation Department.

I specialize in working with men in therapy to gain control in their lives and to help them create meaning. Men are often reluctant to try therapy since they might have trouble opening up and showing any vulnerability. I would contend that the fear of having a therapist that doesn’t understand men’s issues could be contributing to the problem. I’m here to support you on your journey not to judge you.

I primarily focus on providing psychotherapy to men seeking to gain control in their lives and are searching for their purpose. The modern man has to face obstacles and difficulties in life that did not exist with previous generations and navigating through all these roadblocks alone can be extremely difficult and sometimes traumatizing.  I have partnered with Mentaya to help you save money on therapy.

Hello, I have been in the nursing field for over 35 years. I graduated with my RN BSN from Bellin College of Nursing in 1989 and have worked to in several areas of care along with many states. I have worked in ICU, surgery, endocrinology, long term and short term rehab, and psychiatric care in residential, hospital and outpatient. I enjoy working with pre-teens through adults. I earned my Family Nurse Practitioner degree at South University in Savannah, Georgia in 2018 and went right back to Maryville University in St. Louis, Missouri for my Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner degree. I was married to a US Marine and lived in many states including Wisconsin, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nebraska, and Florida all of which I hope to incorporate into my practice to provide care in those states too. While in Michigan I earned a degree in American Sign Language. I enjoy spending time with my two daughters. One lives close in Sarasota, FL and my other lives in Kona, HI. My goal this year is to explore more of Florida! In my free time I do like to travel, sew, knit, do epoxy pens and tumblers, and paint on sand dollars I collect at different beaches. I believe that life is a journey and we will come to many crossroads. It is how you handle the decisions made that can make life positive or negative and I hope that with my care you will have success in having life be a more positive journey.

Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Therapy is a collaborative journey toward healing and self-discovery. You deserve compassionate, judgment-free support, and I’m here to guide you through each step at a pace that feels right for you.

Hi, I'm Sara McCracken, a dedicated Family Nurse Practitioner with a passion for providing compassionate, patient-centered care.

I hold a Master of Science in Nursing from South University and a Bachelor's from the University of South Carolina. My approach to care is rooted in empathy, open communication, and collaboration.

Life should be enjoyed and if therapy helps find that joy again, why not. Vulnerability is hard, I know, but finding the right therapist can make that feel less scary.

I am a female therapist that treats clients ages 13 and up. I have a passion for working with clients that are adjusting due to life transitions, stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, and relationship struggles. Additionally I work with couples and families as well to create healthy relationships. I offer a free 15 minute consultation to any prospective client because I want my clients to feel I am a good match for them and if I am not, I am happy to make referrals.

I think it can be somewhat unsettling to think about sitting with a stranger and sharing intimate details of themselves. I am conscious of that and take the trust placed in my very seriously. I want anyone I meet to feel accepted no matter what they may be facing. I work to build rapport quickly and demonstrate how helpful it can be to anyone. We all face challenges at various times and having an outside person to work through those can be beneficial

I have been licensed since 2006 gaining my clinical experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings with individuals, couples, and families 12 years and up.

Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Mental health is just as important as physical health, and everyone deserves support.

Whether you’re experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, or other challenges, taking the first step can be life-changing. You are not alone, and help is available to guide you toward healing and resilience.
