Therapy Session in Texas

I'm a Licenced Master Social Worker (LMSW) dedicated to helping young adults thrive during this season. With 10 years of experience in mental health services, my approach is warm, empathetic, and collaborative. I believe therapy is a space where you can finally be heard and truly supported, without judgement. I'm here for the stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, and life transitions that define this chapter. A little about me: I'm a proud Texas native and an alumnus of Texas State University and UT-Arlington. I became an LMSW in April 2024. It takes courage to seek support. I am excited to partner with you as you define your path.

Hello, I’m NaTasha McCarty, a Licensed Professional Counselor-Associate, under the supervision of Dr. Danielle Young, LPC-S, PSYD, NCC, LCDC-I as well as a certified Professional School Counselor. I began my academic journey by earning a Bachelor of Business Administration in Marketing from Prairie View A&M University. I later pursued my passion for supporting students and families by obtaining a Master of Science in School Counseling from the University of Houston-Clear Lake, followed by additional coursework in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at the University of Houston-Victoria. Before stepping into my current role, I spent 14 years in the field of education, serving as an educator, mentor, sports coach, and school counselor. These experiences, combined with my clinical training, have shaped my counseling journey and informed my therapeutic approach. They’ve allowed me to connect deeply with diverse individuals and families, and have provided me with a well-rounded perspective that I bring into every session. I have had the privilege of supporting clients through a wide range of challenges, including low self-esteem, relationship building, bullying, academic struggles, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, depression, major life transitions, and anxiety. I use an integrative approach tailored to each client’s needs, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Play Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and Psychoeducational strategies. My passion lies in working with school-aged children, adolescents, teens, young adults, and their families. I am especially committed to helping members of my local community navigate life’s challenges, build resilience, and create actionable goals for the future. I strive to create a supportive and collaborative environment, partnering with individuals from all backgrounds as they work toward personal growth and emotional well-being. I’m honored to walk alongside you on your journey and look forward to supporting you as you grow, heal, and work toward becoming the best version of yourself.

Hi, I’m Carla Perez, a Licensed Professional Counselor-Associate with a Master’s in Counseling from The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. I work with children, teens, and adults who are facing challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, and life transitions. I also have experience working with unaccompanied children, offering support and a safe space during some of the most uncertain and vulnerable moments in their lives. I provide services in both English and Spanish, and I’m passionate about ensuring my clients feel seen, heard, and understood—especially in the language they feel most comfortable with. I approach my work with cultural sensitivity and a deep respect for each person’s unique background and story. At my core, I believe in the power of kindness, connection, and creating a space where people feel safe to be themselves. Whether I’m working with a young child or an adult, I strive to build trusting, supportive relationships where healing and growth can happen at each person’s own pace. It’s truly an honor to walk alongside my clients as they navigate life’s challenges and discover their own strength.

As a therapist, I bring not only professional training but the lived wisdom of being a wife, mother, sister, and friend. These roles have shaped my deep understanding of what it means to hold space for others—especially in moments of vulnerability, transition, and growth. With a background in trauma recovery and anxiety care, I offer a safe and grounded environment where healing can unfold at your pace. My approach blends evidence-based practices with heartfelt compassion. I believe therapy is not just about symptom relief—it’s about reclaiming your voice, rewriting your story, and reconnecting with your inner strength. I’ve witnessed the profound transformation that happens when people feel truly seen and supported, and it’s my honor to walk alongside you in that process. Whether you're navigating life’s challenges or seeking deeper self-understanding, I’m here to meet you with honesty, encouragement, and respect. Together, we’ll explore your unique path toward resilience and renewal. Let’s begin this journey—your healing matters.

Parenting can be challenging. Every parent wants the best for their child, but mistakes happen. Is your teenager feeling off or withdrawn? I have spent my career helping young people deal with depression, anxiety, tough experiences, and issues related to being adopted from foster care. I also support those with behavioral and school-related problems like peer relationships and social skills. I enjoy working with teens to help them express themselves, manage their anger, and make good friends. I also help parents understand their children and build a stronger relationship. In our sessions, I help clients explore the reasons behind their feelings. As a former teacher, I know that one approach doesn't work for everyone. That's why I use different methods, like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, to help your child succeed. After therapy, clients can manage their emotions better and reduce unhealthy behaviors. Your child will leave therapy feeling empowered and capable of handling daily challenges. I understand that taking the first step can be tough. I am here to support you every step of the way.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who graduated from the University of Houston. I am passionate about supporting the needs of children, young adults, and adults as they navigate life's challenges. I have years of experience ranging from child trauma, inpatient and outpatient psychiatric care and working with children in the school setting. My approach is grounded in empathy, mutual respect, collaboration, and solution focused practices. I believe everyone is worthy and deserving of taking care of their mental health, developing coping strategies that fit their needs, and building a sense of self-worth and dignity. My goal is to help remove the barriers to treatment and the stigma that can be associated with taking care of one's mental health.
