Therapy Session in Texas

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate supervised by Dr. Jennifer L. Ortega. I work with children, teens, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, low self esteem, and life transitions. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence based practices. I strive to create a supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to build healthy coping skills and navigate life with greater confidence and balance.

Hi, I’m Vanny Ramirez, LPC-Associate. Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, ADHD, school stress, trauma-related experiences, relationship challenges, or life transitions begin affecting daily life. Therapy can be a space to better understand these challenges, build coping skills, and feel more supported. I work with preteens, adolescents, young adults, and adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, trauma-related concerns, executive functioning challenges, school and social stress, self-esteem, and life transitions. With over a decade of experience in education and special programs, I understand how emotional wellbeing, learning, and family dynamics often overlap. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical, helping clients build confidence, resilience, and tools for meaningful change.

Hello, I'm Ja'Wonna Barnes, MA, LPC-Associate. I am passionate about helping teens, adults, and families navigate anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, life transitions, self-esteem, and relationship challenges. Using a client-centered, trauma-informed approach, I tailor therapy to your unique needs through CBT, mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies. My goal is to provide a supportive, judgement-free space where you feel heard, empowered, and equipped to create meaningful change.

I am a Certified School Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with a Master’s degree in Counseling. I am passionate about helping teens and adolescents navigate life’s challenges and recognize their inner strength. I provide a supportive space to help clients build confidence, better understand themselves, and turn challenges into opportunities for growth and healing.

I am a therapist who got my start in a Marriage and family counseling practice after graduating with a MABC from Dallas Theological Seminary. I have had extensive experience working within the criminal justice system, women coming out of the sex industry and severe mental health issues including personality disorders, major depression, bipolar I & II, dissociation and severe trauma. I have trained local police departments in mental health orientations and critical incident trainings. I am also a certified resiliency trainer through the FBINAA. I enjoy utilizing psychodynamic and family of origin techniques as well as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing and person-centered therapy when I work with families and children. I enjoy serving persons from different cultures. I consider my counseling of you an honor and a privilege and it is my heartfelt desire that you feel better after our session than you do before you see me. My objective is to "reveal the root, and expose the lies" especially behind those issues that trouble teens. I look forward to working with you on your journey to health and wholeness.
