Hi, I’m Ariel. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I believe that every person has the capacity for growth, healing, and change even when life's challenges make that difficult to see.

I’m Destiny Parker, a counselor, educator, and wellness advocate who believes healing happens when people feel seen, safe, and supported as their full selves.

In my clinical work, I support individuals who are managing stress, burnout, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the lingering effects of trauma.

I also work with adolescents and young adults as they navigate self-esteem, peer relationships, identity exploration, and emotional resilience.

I am warm, open, an active listener and I like to challenge those I work with. I create a space where you can openly express yourself so I can learn your thinking patterns and be able to bring light to things that you may not have been able to see on your own. I received my Bachelors in psychology from Prairie View A&M university and my Counseling degree from Lamar University. I am a proud Houston native, mother, and woman of God.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I firmly believe that prioritizing mental health is essential for achieving happiness and stability in life. I understand that seeking help can be one of the toughest steps to take, so I want to applaud you for making that choice!
