Message From Karissa
Hey there! My name is Karissa, and I’m so glad you’re here. Taking the first step toward healing is both courageous and transformative. Therapy is a space where we can process life’s challenges, navigate difficult emotions, and move toward growth and wholeness.
As a dedicated therapist, I am passionate about helping individuals untangle and heal from the pain they carry—whether it stems from personal experiences, stress, or life’s daily challenges. I believe that understanding our struggles is the first step toward healing, and that healing itself is a powerful act of self-care.
With years of experience in clinical practice, supervision, and mentorship, I strive to create a therapeutic space that is welcoming, supportive, and tailored to your unique needs. My approach is collaborative and rooted in compassion, ensuring that you feel seen, heard, and empowered on your journey.
Using both my professional training and the insights gained from working with diverse communities, I help clients and clinicians alike rediscover their strengths and move toward healing. You are capable of growth, change, and resilience—and my goal is to support you in believing that, too.
I am also a Texas BHEC-approved clinical supervisor for LMSWs, providing guidance and mentorship for those seeking to grow in their professional journey. Let’s connect and create a path toward healing together!
