I have had experience in several clinical environments to include: inpatient drug treatment, outpatient clinics, private practice, inpatient mental health and non-profits.

I am Sylvia Ogbogu-Nwankwo, NP, a board-certified nurse practitioner practicing at Angel Health Care Services PC in Allen, Texas. My licensure extends across Texas, New Mexico, Michigan, California, Washington DC, Florida, and New York. With over 15 years of nursing experience, including roles as a Director of Nursing and a family nurse practitioner, I go beyond addressing the primary care needs of families, encompassing children, teenagers, and adults at all life stages. My academic background includes a family nurse practitioner credential and a bachelor’s degree in nursing from Walden University in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Currently pursuing my psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia, I am dedicated to expanding my knowledge to better serve my patients. My diverse career has exposed me to various healthcare settings, allowing me to provide comprehensive care for individuals and families in hospitals, clinics, and private practices. My patient-centered approach is characterized by compassionate healthcare. I prioritize listening to my patients, conducting thorough assessments, and developing personalized treatment plans. I believe in empowering patients through education, ensuring they are well-informed and actively involved in their healthcare decisions. As a Family Nurse Practitioner, I excel in diagnosing and managing acute and chronic illnesses. Emphasizing preventive care, I advocate for regular check-ups, immunizations, and screenings to maintain optimal health. My commitment to preventive medicine aligns with my belief that prevention is crucial for long-term health and wellness.

What if one session could make all the difference? Anxiety, depression, fears, traumatic events or memories, irritability, triggers, and reactivity. You might have tried therapy before but felt like it was focused just on “coping”...not on actually getting to the root of the issue. You’re ready to go deep and put these triggers and patterns to rest for good. Brainspotting (BSP) and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) offer fast, gentle, and highly effective relief, without the need to talk about your problems in detail. It’s time to move past the triggers and patterns that have been holding you back far too long. Deep, long-lasting change doesn’t have to take years. ART and BSP empower your brain to do the healing work so you can finally re-process and neutralize painful memories, experiences, and events, making room for feelings of more calm, clarity, and relief. Research shows that if often takes just 1-5 sessions to experience significant changes. As a client myself, I was able to access and resolve things that talking alone could not fully repair—and it’s because of my experience that I decided to get trained. These methods have made such an impact on my life that I wanted to be able to bring them to my clients, too. Together, we can discuss which option is best for you. Reach out to get started! 

Hi there! My name is Amanda Russo and I’m the clinical director of Balanced Life Solutions. I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC). I’ve lived in the Dallas/Fort Worth area my whole life. I went to The University of Texas in Dallas and obtained a Bachelor’s in Child Learning and Development and a Bachelor’s in Psychology. During undergrad, I entered an internship working with autistic children, which spurred my love for working with the neurodivergent community. I then went on to study at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center where I received a Master’s in Rehabilitation Counseling. It was during my time at UTSW that I discovered my passion for neuropsychological and educational assessment where I worked for both the UTSW Psychological Services Department and the Parkland Trauma Unit. After school, I went on to work in several private practices, local community mental health clinics and public schools. In addition to being a counselor, I’m also a certified teacher in elementary education, special education, and school counseling. I’m extremely passionate about advocating for the appropriate educational services for children with special needs. After working for the schools, I did neuroscience research and treatment for divergent social cognition with the University of Texas at Dallas’ Brain Performance Institute. There, I utilized technology to provide treatment in an online interface, focusing on improving childrens’ ability to understand other peoples’ thoughts and implicit social information. Additionally, I gave presentations around the DFW metroplex focusing on how educators and parents could help foster social cognition. I have expertise in neurodivergent diagnoses including autism, ADHD, and learning differences including gifted learners. Additionally, I have a strong passion for working with neurodivergent women and AFAB individuals as they are chronically under- and misdiagnosed due to their presentation of symptoms. When I’m not counseling, I love spending time with my three children. I also enjoy singing, traveling, and reading books, especially on the topics of neuroscience and psychology.

Hi! My name is Caroline, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapy Associate. I went to Texas Tech University from August 2017-May 2020, and completed my graduate school education at Oklahoma State University from August 2020-August 2022. I am passionate about providing a safe space for growth and freedom. I work from a collaborative perspective, and believe that all individuals are the experts in their own lives. I am of the opinion that I am not above you as a therapist, but side by side with you as we work through whatever you bring to therapy together.

I reside in Texas, but I am a Mississippi girl with a deep southern accent. I see clients in person or remotely who reside in the state of Texas. I received a master's degree in counseling from Liberty University where the curriculum combines Psychology and Theology.
