Hello, my name is Julie Nichols. I am a Certified Academic Language Therapist which is a type of Educational Therapist. I serve students of most ages with learning, Developmental, and cognitive disabilities. I hold specialities in Dyslexia, Autism, and Cognition. I also hold an LGBTQIA Inclusion in Healthcare certification.

While I am recently licensed in Texas, I have extensive experience working as a counselor in both England and Scotland, where I did my counseling training. I received my Doctorate in Psychotherapy and Counseling from the University of Edinburgh. My doctoral thesis was on my work counseling clients who experienced grief after a pregnancy loss. Therapy is a truly personal experience. Therapy is not something done to a person, but rather it is created by the persons involved. In my work, I listen to how life's struggles are real for you. That is, what makes them personal. By staying with you and holding all that you bring, I hope to support the growth of this personal process. Facing distressing feelings requires trust and commitment from both client and counselor. Whatever your struggle, I offer you a safe, confidential space where I come alongside you, without judgement, in your attempts to better hear from and understand yourself. My passion is helping others to feel more aware of and compassionate within themselves, their lives, and their relationships. My approach to therapy is based in person centered and psychodynamic psychotherapy. What this means is that I work with clients in an interpersonal way, helping them to explore themselves, their current and past relationships, and unconscious blocks that prevent them from having the life and the relationships they desire. My practice is informed by neurobiology, and I strongly believe that therapy helps you to regulate your nervous system. A regulated/adaptive nervous system improves your mental and your physical health and is protective against chronic illness and mental health disorders. I don’t simply provide advice or quick fixes, instead I offer a space to talk about pain and where it may have originated, granting us insight into patterns of behavior which may have been useful in the past that now may be actually getting in the way of your health. I welcome all to my practice and believe that anyone - regardless of ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, spiritual belief, or economic standing – is valuable and I seek to provide the best care to all I see.

Hello everyone. I'm Brian Webb and I understand that we can have some things that we don't know how to or is equipped to deal with. I'm here to be that nonjudgmental listening ear that will help you through this trying time. It seems like these past few years has taught us that not only is our physical health important, but our mental health also needs to take priority as well. I use a holistic approach that focuses on the whole person because you are more than the issue you may have at the time. You are so much more, and we will explore this using different methods. I specialize in creating a safe and inviting environment for tweens, teens, adults, and couples. We'll traverse who you are and the person you want and need to be.

When working with clients my goal is to work myself out of a job. What I mean by that is, I believe my roll as your counselor is to teach you the skills and techniques necessary so you can reach your goals. If you are looking for a counselor who takes a collaborative approach to therapy while holding you accountable and highlighting your wins, then you have found the right one.

Does a lack of social skills, coping skills and emotional regulation, or grief/loss making it challenging to get a hold on life? Supervised by Arlette J. Back, LPC-S, we can work together to learn new ways of coping and managing challenging situations that life throws at you. By processing and learning new coping skills, you can learn to express emotions in a healthy way and face life head on! Please consult with me to see if you or your child is fit for virtual sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a form of therapy to be used with kids, teens, and adults, helping clients become aware of dysfunctional or negative thinking patterns so that they can view challenging situations more clearly.

As a therapist, it is my job to provide support by helping you channel and develop your strengths, learn better coping skills, and heal along this journey we call life. I invite you to a safe and collaborative environment where we can explore your issues together and find a path to feeling better!
