Hello- I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who has been in the helping profession for 8 years. When I graduated with my bachelor’s degree in 1996, I worked as a worker’s compensation adjuster for 12 years. The money was great, but I hated working in that field. Eventually, the company I was working for downsized, so I was laid off. From there, I was lost and didn’t know what to do. Should I continue to stay in the same line of work for the next 12 years, dreading to get out of the bed every day for the money, or should I find a career that will help me utilize my own personal experiences and education to make a difference in the lives of others? I chose to follow my heart. When I took my first counseling class, I knew being a counselor was my calling in life. This is what I was born to do. I realized the most important thing in the world is not how much money you make; it’s about enjoying the work you do. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying I don’t enjoy making money, but I know I wasn’t happy. Being a counselor makes me feel alive, full of hope, and purpose. Educating clients on how to manage their mood disorders, stressors, or providing guidance to some of the most difficult challenges in a person’s life is what I live for. I want you to know that I am here for you. We can face life’s challenges together. Sincerely, Sharon Esters

Hello, my name is Courtney Burrus! I am so glad you made the brave decision to get help. Everyone needs help here and there and I am here to offer that to you. I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Texas. I have 8 years of experience working in a private practice setting. For the past 3 years, I have been working in hospital settings to assess and provide clinical treatment for individuals. I have worked with a variety of individuals that include depression, anxiety, trauma, addictions, mood disorders, personality disorders, relationship issues, and family issues. I believe that we are all unique. I use this principle in counseling. There is not a one-sized fit all approach to counseling. I like to provide clients with an individualist approach tailored to your wants, needs, desires, and struggles. Counseling is deeply personal and I want to honor that by providing a safe, warm, and relaxing environment. I use a variety of approaches such as cognitive-behavioral, existential, and client-centered to help you become a healthier version of yourself. We will walk through whatever life has put in your way together. I'm so glad that you have taken this important step in your journey. I look forward to working with you!

My name is Maysun and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas. I have had the honor of working with children and adults in a private practice setting and at psychiatric facilities. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Opening up to a therapist might make you feel nervous, but it can be helpful to gain new perspectives and insight to your thoughts and behaviors. We aren't often taught healthy ways to cope with life's challenges, and I can provide a safe space to work through trauma, relationships, anxiety, negative thinking patterns, and other obstacles. There are many ways you can achieve your goals, and therapy can be one of them!

I am a Licensed Clinical Therapist in both Massachusetts and Texas, with over six years of experience. I have dedicated my career to supporting individuals who have experienced complex trauma, as well as those facing a variety of mental health challenges, including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and attachment-related issues. As a Christian therapist, I bring an empathetic, faith-centered perspective to the therapeutic process, while respecting and honoring the unique beliefs and values of each client. I believe that Jesus and therapy go well together and it’s through faith in Him and belief in His word, we can have true peace and change. Isaiah 43:19 “Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” What a powerful truth! My therapeutic approach is client-centered, and I work collaboratively with individuals to define and achieve their goals. I have extensive experience in a range of therapeutic modalities including Solution-Focused Therapy, Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, and Trauma Informed approaches. My practice is rooted in understanding, compassion, and evidence-based practices to empower my clients in navigating their emotional and psychological struggles while providing the support needed for clients to stabilize, heal, and move forward. Above all, my goal is to empower my clients, help them gain clarity, and guide them toward living a life that aligns with their values and aspirations. I believe therapy is a journey and a partnership, and while it may feel uncomfortable at times, it is in this space of discomfort that growth and healing can occur. My strength lies in helping clients feel safe and supported as we navigate these challenges together and to be there as you take the next steps toward a more fulfilling and content life. I can't wait to get started!
