David Head

David Head

Therapist

Virtual • Dallas, TX


I’m David Head, LPC—an existential psychotherapist with more than a decade helping people work through anxiety, depression, trauma, LGBTQ+ concerns, relationship and interpersonal struggles, motivation blocks, compulsivity, and the deeper exhaustion that comes from feeling disconnected from your own life.

I hold a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Capella University and am a doctoral candidate in Counselor Education at Sam Houston State University, where my research focuses on identity, emotional dissonance, and the inner experience of helping professionals. My path has taken me through community mental health, residential treatment with children and families, school-based programs, and extensive telehealth work. I’ve seen how personal pain often intersects with bigger systems—work, family, culture—and I bring that grounded perspective without ever losing sight of you as the author of your story.

What matters most to me: You already have the capacity to choose, to take responsibility for your thoughts/feelings/behaviors, and to build a life that feels more aligned. My job isn’t to fix you. It’s to walk alongside you with curiosity, straight talk, and respect for your autonomy so you can develop the self-awareness, confidence, and tools to navigate whatever comes next—on your terms

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Pflugerville, TX


Professionally, I have spent a decade in education (five years as a classroom teacher and five years as a school counselor). This is my third year as a therapist outside of the school setting.

For my masters degree, I attended Texas State University in San Marcos, TX (Eat 'em up cats!). At Texas State, I completed my MA in Professional Counseling with two focuses: school counseling and clinical mental health.

As a former educator, the populations I support include adolescents, young adults, educators, parents/guardians, and caretakers.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Texas


You should know that I truly care about who you are, not just the symptoms you’re experiencing. I understand that reaching out for mental health support can feel intimidating, especially if you’ve ever felt judged, misunderstood, or dismissed in the past. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and respected from the very first conversation.

I approach every person with compassion, patience, and curiosity. I take the time to understand your story, your stressors, and what matters most to you, so your care is never one-size-fits-all. I believe healing happens best when you feel supported and involved in your treatment, and I see our work as a true partnership.

I am committed to using evidence-based practices while also honoring your lived experience. Whether we are focusing on medication, coping strategies, or long-term growth, I will always be honest, supportive, and collaborative.

Above all, you should know that you are not alone here, and your well-being is my priority.

Ariell Eneix

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


I am an eclectic therapist that combines emotion-focused strategies with psychotherapeutic evidence-based approaches. The underlying principles in her approach are that treating anxiety, depression, relationship dysfunction, self-esteem and more can be traced to experiences, beliefs of shame, trauma, and other negative core beliefs in an individual. Finding out these aspects of a person’s life, naming them, and working through them are components of her counseling process.

Dr. Regina Clark

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


My name is Dr. Regina Clark, DSW, LCSW, and I work with children, teens, and adults who have experienced trauma and are ready to begin their healing journey. I specialize in trauma-informed care, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, and play therapy for young children.

In our sessions, you will find a safe, supportive space where you are seen, heard, valued, and never rushed. I believe every person’s story deserves compassion, understanding, and care. My practice is rooted in authenticity, empathy, and a genuine commitment to helping clients navigate life’s challenges while building resilience and emotional wellness.

I do this work because healing can be difficult, but you are not meant to walk through it alone. I believe growth, restoration, and healing are possible, and I am honored to support individuals and families as they move toward hope, balance, and lasting change.
