Hi, I’m Dr. Rukhsar Ali, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). I work with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing concerns such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, and stress-related challenges. I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice degree from The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio and have experience providing psychiatric care across a variety of outpatient, community, and behavioral health settings. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and personalized—I believe every person deserves to feel heard, understood, and involved in their treatment. Together, we'll create a plan that supports your goals and helps you move toward lasting wellness.
As your counselor, I will be a partner in developing appropriate treatment plans that accomplish established goals. I believe that human development is a lifelong process and personality and behavior changes are possible at any time. I also believe in the need for a flexible multicultural approach and that the counselor and client are equal partners.
I love working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I have worked with people from various backgrounds and cultures throughout my career and these experiences help me to easily connect with my clients. Additionally, I have worked with children and adults with anxiety disorders, provided pre-marital counseling, and addressed spiritual concerns for individuals, couples, and families. I have obtained specialized instruction in working with victims of human trafficking, and persons who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, and/or transgender. Also, I have experience working with persons of varied ethnic, racial, sexual orientation, and religious backgrounds.
As a Counselor, I am always looking for opportunities to grow and develop my abilities to best serve my clients. I am a National Certified Counselor (NCC) by the National Board of Certified Counselors (NBCC). I am an active member American Counseling Association (ACA) and Texas Counseling Association (TCA). I look forward to partnering with you on your journey to achieve and maintain wellness.
