My primary focus is the restoration of the nervous system. I specialize in supporting recovery from complex, relational, and medical trauma. Because trauma impacts every layer of how we function, my practice also centers on the deeply connected challenges that come with it—including severe anxiety, chronic stress, mood fluctuations, complex personality patterns, and the profound journey of grief and loss.
My name is Carolyn Cole (she/her), and I am a lifelong social worker in Texas, (born & raised in Louisiana).My social worker life has had twists and turns- I am grateful for the broad and diverse learning. I have worked in/with hospice, hospital settings, substance use disorder, teen pregnancy/parenting, and school districts, I received my LCSW (clinical social worker license) before the pandemic, a traumatic and anxious time for many of us. And, the impact still lingers with us.
I am trained in many modalities and work with my clients to identify and empower their strengths, their health. and and any roadblocks in life

Hi, I’m Liz, a therapist who believes healing starts with feeling truly seen and heard. My approach is gentle but direct, and I focus on what’s actually working in your life while finding small, realistic steps toward change. Many of the people I work with are women navigating grief, anxiety, trauma, or the challenges of motherhood. I also understand that sometimes we’re not trying to thrive , we’re just trying to survive in a world that can feel heavy and unpredictable. My goal is to help you make sense of that survival mode, find steadiness within it, and slowly reconnect with you again.
