Storms of life come to us in all kinds of ways.

I work at the frontlines of psychiatry and addiction care—treating complex cases daily, teaching physicians, and delivering results-driven, compassionate care.

Patients describe me as calm, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in their success.

I am a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate, patient-centered mental health care in a supportive and nonjudgmental environment.

I specialize in the evaluation and treatment of depression, anxiety, ADHD, and mood disorders. My approach combines evidence-based medication management, education, and collaborative care to support lasting mental wellness.

I work with adults and adolescents and offer convenient telehealth services to improve access to care. My goal is to help clients develop healthier coping strategies and achieve improved emotional well-being.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with a DNP (Doctor of Nursing Practice) degree from the University of Massachusetts Global. I have experience working with adolescents and adults in multiple settings facing various complex mental health issues, including OCD, depression, anxiety, ADHD and mood disorders.

Ikra Ashrafi, PMHNP-BC is a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with over eight years of experience in mental health care. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Nova Southeastern University and her Master of Science in Nursing from Drexel University.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, relationship stress, or difficult life experiences? You might be struggling to manage emotions, feeling stuck in patterns that aren’t working, or unsure how to move forward. I work with children, teens, adults, and couples facing challenges like depression, trauma, family conflict, and major life transitions. Together, we’ll create a space where you feel understood, supported, and equipped with tools to build confidence, improve relationships, and feel more in control of your life.

Hello, and welcome. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) serving clients throughout Texas. I earned a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology and completed my LPC internship under the supervision of an exceptional LPC Supervisor here in Texas.

My experience spans a variety of mental health settings, including working as a case manager and service coordinator for individuals with developmental disabilities, a rehabilitation teacher in a state psychiatric hospital, a therapist on a geriatric behavioral health unit, and a counselor in medication-assisted treatment (MAT), substance use disorder (SUD) inpatient and outpatient programs, and individual counseling settings. These experiences have allowed me to support individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use disorders, grief, life transitions, and relationship challenges.

A primary focus of my work is helping individuals heal from trauma and anxiety. I have completed the training portion of Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), an evidence-based approach that uses bilateral eye movements similar to EMDR while incorporating its own unique treatment methods. Throughout my career, I have come to recognize how common trauma is and how profoundly it can impact a person's emotions, relationships, self-worth, and overall quality of life.

My counseling style is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each client's unique needs. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard and respected. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, trauma, substance use, grief, or feeling stuck in life, my goal is to help you build insight, strengthen coping skills, and work toward meaningful change over time.
