I am Angelina Ortiz, a licensed professional counselor (LPC) specializing in psychotherapy. I support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, self-injurious behaviors, trauma, and relationship issues. I offer both in-person sessions and virtual therapy for clients throughout Texas. My passion to help other on their healing path to live calm and fulfilling lives has always been my life's purpose as I believe people are deserving of peace and happiness in their lives, no matter their story.

I’m Dr. Emem Nkanga, Doctor of Nursing Practice. I believe that everyone deserves a personalized and compassionate approach to mental health care. I bring over 20 years of experience in healthcare, with a focused dedication to psychiatry over the past 4 years. My passion lies in supporting mental health and emotional well-being.
I work with children ages 10 and above, adolescents, and adults from diverse backgrounds who are experiencing challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, bipolar disorder, OCD, insomnia, and more.
My goal as a Psychologist and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist is to create a safe, affirming and collaborative space for individuals to explore the complexities of life. Therapy can be a daunting experience; therefore, I like to meet people where they are at in their therapy journey.
