My name is Ananda Moss-Byas and I am a licensed Psychotherapist with over 22 years experience. I have worked with individuals, couples, families, youth, guardians, groups and blended families. I have worked with individuals on a number of concerns including depression, anxiety, parenting, relationship issues, and trauma all within a culturally sensitive and trauma informed framework. While I am a relational practitioner, in my practice, I also utilize various modalities and interventions, such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Gestalt, Hypnotherapy, Culturally Informed Care, DBT, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Play Therapy, and Solution Focused, that I incorporate into my work with others based on individual needs. I enjoy helping to support and empower people while they find their way by finding their true authentic selves.

In a therapeutic relationship, it’s not “about me” - it’s about you. It’s about listening deeply. It’s about asking the right questions and holding space for precious silence. It’s about utilizing a diverse range of clinical skills and life experiences to assist you with what is happening in your life right now, and teaching you skills that will allow you to help yourself in the future. From my deep treasure chest of therapeutic techniques I strive to “create a new therapy for each client” (following the guidance of renowned psychotherapist Irvin Yalom), helping you to discover what works best for you. I have been a licensed professional counselor in Texas since 2001, but my first counselor training and internship was in Austin in the 1980’s. Since then I have explored a wide variety of approaches with a focus on somatic and experiential interventions for stress, pain, trauma, addiction and healing relationships. Now, pause for just a moment before you go. Take a deep breath, hold it, add a big stretch, and let it go. Feel your feet, wiggle your toes. I hope that you find the help that you are needing in your life right now, and if you choose to work with me as your therapist I will be honored, and always give you my best.

I am a licensed professional counselor with 10 years of experience working with individuals, families and couples. I have worked with a diverse population in various settings, from private practice, mental health rehabilitation, community and home-based programs, hospitals and school environments. I mainly utilize short-term therapy approaches (6-12 sessions), focusing on specific or current challenges. I view counseling in a holistic way, that focuses on whole-person wellness. All individuals are the expert of their own circumstances and lives. My work is about promoting personal growth and development, improving relationships, healing, progress, discovering purpose and affirming who you are. I assist clients in coping, communicating, identifying solutions, making steps toward positive change, making better choices in order to achieve specific goals by reinforcing your strengths, recognizing your abilities and realizing efforts to change. BE WELL! Education I earned my Master of Arts degree in Counseling and Guidance from Louisiana Tech University in 2013. Licensure I am currently licensed in Louisiana and Texas with the Louisiana Licensed Professional Counselor Board of Examiners and Texas State Board of Examiners of Professional Counselors. I also serve as a Board Approved Supervisor for clinicians through PLPC supervision in the state of Louisiana.

I am an Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 7 years of experience working as a psychotherapist, and over 10 years of experience working in the Behavioral Health field. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including PTSD, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges and phase of life concerns. I have also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. A wise clinician once taught me that "We are more than our diagnosis", and I firmly believe in this. Just because of someone has a condition, does not mean that this is what should define them. I utilize a different amount of techniques to include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), along with other approaches that I utilize based on the needs of my clients. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change.
