If anxiety, trauma, grief, or constant stress have been weighing on you, therapy can be a place to breathe, feel understood, and start moving forward. You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck in painful patterns, or carrying more than you can hold on your own. I work with adults who want relief, practical support, and a path toward healing. Together, we can address anxiety, depression, anger, burnout, and life’s harder moments with care that is tailored to you.
Hi I'm Denise Pounds. During the past 30 years I've worked with a variety of issues. I currently specialize in anxiety and trauma. I am certified in EMDR for trauma, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, Emotionally Focused Individual therapy, and Emotionally Focused Family Therapy. Based on attachment science, Emotionally Focused Therapy gets to the heart of clients’ problems quickly and effectively.
I’m Destiny Parker, a counselor, educator, and wellness advocate who believes healing happens when people feel seen, safe, and supported as their full selves.
In my clinical work, I support individuals who are managing stress, burnout, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the lingering effects of trauma. I have a particular passion for working with educators, caregivers, and helping professionals who often prioritize everyone else while quietly carrying their own emotional load. I also work with adolescents and young adults as they navigate self-esteem, peer relationships, identity exploration, and emotional resilience.
Some experiences change the way we see ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us.
Whether you're grieving a loss, recovering from trauma, navigating a mental health challenge, or trying to regain your footing after a difficult season of life, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by emotions that seem impossible to untangle on your own.
I'm Michelle, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with adults facing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, grief, trauma, PTSD, and major life challenges. Through my experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings, as well as crisis intervention work, I've had the privilege of helping people navigate some of the most difficult moments of their lives. One thing I've learned is that healing rarely happens all at once—it happens one step, one conversation, and one breakthrough at a time.
My goal is to provide a space where you feel supported, understood, and empowered to move forward.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding the right couples therapist in Amarillo starts with identifying what you want to work on together. Common reasons couples seek therapy include communication difficulties, conflict resolution, rebuilding trust, or preparing for marriage. Look for a licensed provider — such as an LPC, LMFT, or LCSW — who specializes in couples work and has experience with your specific concerns.
Amarillo and the surrounding Texas Panhandle have a smaller provider network compared to larger Texas metros, so virtual sessions can expand your options. Many couples therapists offer both in-person and virtual appointments, giving you more flexibility with scheduling. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach — whether that's the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy, or another modality — so you can decide if they're a good match before booking.
Couples therapy in Amarillo can be expensive without insurance, but using in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a couples therapist who fits both your needs and your budget.
