I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas and an NBCC National Certified Counselor (NCC). I have a Master’s in Counseling from West Texas A&M University and am a doctoral candidate in the Counselor Education program at Texas Tech University. In addition, I specialize in depression, grief, anxiety, and adjustment problems, serving adolescents and women related to emotional regulation, divorce, infidelity, self-harm, identity, high-risk behaviors, parenting, and intimacy.

Hello, I'm Telawna, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I believe in creating a warm, collaborative environment where we can work together to address your unique challenges and goals. My aim is to support you in finding practical solutions, gaining deeper insights, and enhancing your overall well-being. I’m committed to continuous learning and adapting my methods to best serve my clients. If you’re interested, I'd be happy to discuss how we can work together.

My affirming and eclectic approach weaves evidence-based practices with a heart-centered, human connection to help you heal, grow, and return to yourself. I practice with a deep respect for your individuality - every part of you is welcome.

I've gained my experience as a therapist over the past 6 years by working thousands of hours across rural, urban, non-profit, school-based, crisis response, and group practice settings seeing clients ages 5+.

I have a passion for helping people cope with any significant loss. I am a certified grief informed practitioner, EMDR trained, and love to utilize the enneagram to explore how our persoality impacts how we grieve. I work with children, teens, and adults offering individual, family, and group therapy. Whether you're struggling with the loss of a loved one, a job, a relationship, or any other significant life change, I am here to support you every step of the way.

Life stressors and painful experiences can be debilitating. The constant feeling of impending doom and being paralyzed by fear can be crippling after traumatic experiences, as well as grief and loss, often leading to seasons of anxiety and/or depression.

I have been in the counseling field since 1994.

I received my M.Ed. from Southwest Texas State University, and have worked in several settings, from psychiatric hospital to community based mental health facilities, and finally in my private practice.

The focus of my practice is families, especially child and adolescent problems and issues.

I work with clients struggling with difficulties in new or ongoing situations in order to carve a path forward. I will work with those suffering from eating disorders, as these benefit from many of the approaches I utilize. Many periods are marked by significant struggles from inner turmoil, relationships, uncertainty, trauma, anxiety, grief and career stress. We will draw upon your strengths and work to build lasting resilience in your life.

I am Brisa C Coronado Torres. I am a bilingual (English & Spanish) Licensed Professional Counselor. As a Mexican immigrant woman I have experienced life challenges in many roles. My passion to help others on their healing path has been inspired by my experiences moving and handling the demands of living in two distinct cultures.

You may be experiencing anxiety, panic attacks, despair, low self-esteem, intrusive thoughts or memories and you don’t know how to help yourself. I’m an EMDR Certified Therapist and a Certified ImTT Therapist. I specialize in PTSD, trauma, grief, anxiety, panic attacks and phobias. I can offer you a compassionate and accepting space to heal and find new meaning in life. We cannot change our pasts, but we can heal and not be at the effect of what has happened in the past.

I grew up as native Texan despite moving around with the military family. I have been in the counseling field for over 15 years working with children, adolescents, and adults. I work out of The Center for Children & Families in Waco where I've made my home since graduating from Southwestern Theological Seminary. I am trained in Trust Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients of any age process trauma and move forward successfully.
