Consultations

A 15-minute free consultation with a therapist offers an opportunity to ask questions, discuss your concerns, and get a sense of the therapist's approach, helping you determine if they’re a good fit for your needs. It’s a low-pressure way to explore therapy options before committing to a full session.


Individual

Individual therapy is a personal, one-on-one space with a licensed therapist. It is tailored to your needs, offering guidance, coping strategies, and a safe environment for self-reflection.


Couple

Couples therapy is a joint process where both partners work with a therapist to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen their relationship. It provides a neutral space to address issues, understand each other’s perspectives, and develop healthier interaction patterns.


Family

Family therapy involves working with a therapist to address dynamics and conflicts within related parties of 3 or more, helping members improve communication, understand each other better, and resolve issues together. It focuses on fostering healthier relationships and creating a supportive environment for all involved.


Child/Adolescent

Child/Adolescent therapy provides a safe, supportive space for your minor child to explore their feelings, behaviors, and experiences through age-appropriate methods like play, art, or talk. It aims to help them process emotions, build coping skills, and address specific challenges like anxiety, trauma, or behavioral issues.

Elaine accepts Aetna, Ambetter, Anthem, Ascension, BCBS, Carelon, Humana, Optus, Oscar Health, Oxford, Quest, Wellcare, and Cigna for individuals

Elaine sees individuals children (3+), teens, adults, couples, and families

You’re high-functioning, but your body never turns off. You’re doing everything ‘right,’ yet you still feel on edge, numb, or exhausted. You’ve talked about this before, you understand it intellectually, but nothing actually feels different. You have a desire for more balance and grounding. You may feel disconnected from joy.

If you want to change these patterns, I can help children, teens, and adults.

As an artist myself, I have an affinity for creative people. I use art and play therapy for clients who find it easier to process through creating art or playing games. When I collaborate with a client, we work together to meet their goals, such as processing feelings through creating paintings or working through trauma through drawing or coloring with music.

Finding a therapist can feel overwhelming. I started going to therapy when I was in college, and it changed my life for the better. I remember my feelings when I signed up for my first therapy appointment. I was very nervous. I want to make your experience seeking therapy as comfortable as possible.

Meet Elaine

As an artist, Elaine has experienced firsthand the power of creative expression in clarifying emotions and unveiling new perspectives. Along with expressive art therapy, she also loves play therapy, an effective method of communication in the therapy room. When we think of play, we often associate it with children. But why should they have all the fun? Play isn’t just child’s play; it’s a powerful, universal language and a fundamental part of human nature, regardless of our age.

Elaine has worked with people ranging in age from 3 to 73 years old. She has counseling experience with children, adolescents, adults, group therapy, inpatient clients, intensive outpatient programs (IOP) and partial hospitalization program (PHP) clients, and as a public health researcher to prevent suicide on college campuses. She holds certificates in Trauma-Informed Care Training, QPR Suicide Prevention Gatekeeper Certificate, Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Trauma in Schools (CBITS), Skills for Psychological Recovery, and Psychological First Aid Online.

Elaine earned her undergraduate degree in English Literature with a Specialization in Creative Writing and a minor in Studio Art from Southern Methodist University. She earned her Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of North Texas at Dallas.

Jamie is in-network with Aetna, Cigna, BCBS and UHC (individuals only)

Jamie sees children 11+, adults, couples and families

Meet Jamie

For over a decade, I’ve worked with children and teens, and more recently as a certified school counselor, supporting them through challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, coping difficulties, and grief. My experience in education, particularly with at-risk populations, has deepened my commitment to making a difference. Now, as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I’m expanding my practice to include adolescents, adults, seniors, couples, and families. I have a special interest in grief therapy, an area I’m continually growing as a specialty, helping clients navigate loss with care and resilience. As a dedicated counselor, I bring empathy, trust, and a holistic approach to every client I serve. My passion lies in building strong relationships that empower individuals to become the best versions of themselves. With expertise in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and a focus on the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—I guide my clients toward healing and growth with compassion and understanding. After sessions with me, clients can expect to feel truly heard, understood, and supported in a safe, nonjudgmental space. It is my hope that my empathic approach helps you build trust and confidence, whether you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, or life’s everyday challenges. Together, we’ll use practical tools like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to shift unhelpful patterns, while looking at the whole you—your emotions, experiences, and goals—to uncover your strengths and resilience. Whether you’re facing life’s pressures, a couple seeking connection, or someone processing grief, I’m here to provide a safe, supportive space to help you thrive. You’ll leave with a clearer sense of direction, personalized strategies to cope and grow, and a renewed belief in your ability to become the best version of yourself. Whether you’re a child processing big feelings, a teen facing tough transitions, an adult seeking balance, a senior reflecting on life, or a couple or family rebuilding connection, my goal is to empower you with hope and actionable steps toward healing.

Fun Facts

When I am not counseling I love spending time with my family, friends, and of course my 3 dogs. My son likes to keep us busy with all of his sports and performances. I have always had a great passion for sports, and always stay loyal to my teams. When I need to “getaway” I like to read, watch movies and enjoy sunshine!
