Grief counselors and therapists in Waxahachie, TX

Hi, I’m Taylor Avery, an LCSW in Texas, and I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of North Texas. I specialize in working with individuals navigating substance use, trauma, grief and loss, life transitions, anxiety, and depression, and I have extensive experience in both individual and intensive outpatient settings.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than ten years of experience, I am passionate about walking alongside clients as they work toward their therapeutic goals. My practice is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and a deep respect for each person’s unique story. I completed my Master of Social Work at the University of Texas at Arlington and earned my Bachelor of Science in Social Work from Miami University in Ohio, and these foundations continue to shape my commitment to evidence‐informed, client‐centered care. Whether supporting individuals through life transitions, emotional challenges, or personal growth, I strive to create a safe, non‐judgmental space where we can work together in meaningful partnership.

I think counseling helps clarify life's challenges and opens the door to change. My mission is to partner with you as you navigate through personal or family issues. I balance several roles as a therapist, educator, advocate, mother, wife, and Christian. I aim to practice wisdom, accountability, and kindness daily. Seeing life through possibility motivates me, and I'm eager to help you achieve your aspirations.

I'm a warm, inquisitive, and compassionate therapist here to meet you where you are. I use my education and training as well as my experiences to inform my practice and create a comfortable space for us to explore your thoughts and emotions.

Hi, I’m Nargis Ali, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Texas with over six years of experience in the counseling field. I hold a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and am currently pursuing my PhD in Counseling and Supervision.

I believe that healing begins when we feel truly seen, heard, and supported. In my work, I strive to create a warm and nurturing space where you can show up exactly as you are — no judgment, just understanding. Together, we’ll explore your experiences, uncover patterns, and move toward emotional healing and personal growth at a pace that feels right for you.

I help military members, first responders, and law enforcement professionals carry the weight of service with more strength, clarity, and support through therapy built around their world. If you’re dealing with trauma, stress, addiction, relationship strain, or the silent pressure of always having to hold it together, you don’t have to face it alone. My goal is to offer a space that feels confidential, grounded, and free of judgment—where you can talk honestly without clichés, forced vulnerability, or someone who doesn’t understand the culture you come from.

I believe healing begins when we feel truly seen, heard, and understood. With 23 years of experience working with children, teens, and adults, I offer a warm and supportive space where you can share your story without judgment. Together, we'll explore the challenges bringing you to therapy, identify your strengths, and work toward meaningful, lasting change. You don't have to do it alone—I'm here to support you every step of the way.

I believe with a little help, you can be your own change.
