Sabrina Smith

I work with clients who may be struggling with generalized anxiety, perfectionism, a loss of self, and low self-confidence. My “good fit” client may have experienced attachment trauma, struggle in relationships (familial, romantic, and platonic), and identify as highly sensitive.

Hey guys, I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas and a guy with lived experience overcoming and healing from mental health struggles. My expertise is in trauma focused therapy as I’ve found most mental health issues involve going through extremely difficult experiences and high levels of stress. My approach is to meet where you are, help you gain stability and hope in your current situation, and address any issues from the past so you can move forward and thrive in the life you truly want and deserve.

Kennedy Sabelko
Kennedy Sabelko is a master’s-level Clinical Therapist and Doctoral Candidate in Health Psychology/Behavioral Medicine with 20+ years of experience in the field. Kennedy’s compassion for helping individuals improve their quality of life derives from his own personal and cultural experiences. Kennedy’s focus is allowing individuals to recognize irrational or negative thoughts/beliefs (Cognitive Distortions), and how they impact emotions such as anxiety or depression, which subsequently manifest into maladaptive behaviors. Kennedy provides coping strategies to decrease and manage negative thinking patterns through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)-Cognitive Restructuring, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) which teaches Emotional Regulation and Interpersonal Effectiveness skills.

Life is full of storms. The ebbs and flows they bring can leave anyone feeling shipwrecked. My role as a counselor is a grounding one: to equip and enable you to find light through the darkness. I work with men and women that have experienced depressions, anger, or past hurts that are causing their futures to look bleak.

I am Micheal Franklin with Franklin and Kiai Counseling Services, PLLC where we believe that nobody is left behind and we want our clients to become everything that are capable of becoming. I believe that since we were all children at once that we’re a product of the environment in which we were raised. Many times the things that we’re having difficulty facing is related to our childhood and I would like to have the opportunity to help you overcome those obstacles in your life so you can freely move forward and find happiness within yourself.

The majority of my experience so far in my career as a therapist has been in trauma, substance use recovery, eating disorder relapse prevention, body image and sex, partnerships and sexual concerns, as well as working with couples, families, and parenting issues. In this experience, especially working with eating disorders and substance use recovery, I have found that what seems to be missing with the recovery process is a sexual recovery component. I feel that who I am, my authenticity, my message, and showing my humanness sets me apart from many therapists trained to be a blank slate for their clients. The work we do in session does not end there and it is not confined to the hour that I actually see them each week.

My professional experience includes being an embedded psychologist in a U.S. Special Ops squadron on Europe and Power 5 Conference NCAA university athletic departments. I have learned that most men benefit from cognitive processing and cognitive-behavioural approaches, with a touch of humanism. I have experience working with men who are confronting relationship issues, post-traumatic stress, anxiety, and depression.

Hi, I’m Lizz, and I’m passionate about supporting people through life’s challenges by offering counseling and guidance for body-based healing practices. My journey, shaped by personal experiences and witnessing others’ struggles, has led me to embrace a holistic, balanced approach to mental health. I specialize in trauma-informed care, mindfulness, and somatic healing. I work with individuals across a range of ages and mental health concerns, offering a compassionate space for healing and growth. I believe that encouraging men to take better care of their mental and emotional health is vital, as it helps create a society that is more balanced, equitable, and functional for everyone!

The most common phrase I hear from clients is “not good enough.” Many of us come to believe that we are unworthy of acceptance, so we conceal aspects of our identities that others might view as unacceptable and present a fragmented version of ourselves to others. My task as a therapist is to create a safe environment in which you can be your whole self, without fear of judgment. I am committed not only to understanding and validating you, but also to helping you learn how to understand and validate yourself. I am a licensed psychologist providing virtual therapy to adult clients, and my specialties include men’s issues, LGBTQIA+ concerns, early childhood trauma, shame, anger, depression, anxiety, and occupational concerns.

When you step into my office you will be warmly greeted in a judgement-free setting. The therapeutic process starts with a thorough assessment to really get to know who you are and where you are at, because the issues you have don’t define who you are as a person. We will work together to identify the problem areas and employ the therapeutic process to foster growth. I believe the therapeutic process needs to be direct, honest, and specifically tailored to the nuances of you and your situation. Certification in Sex Therapy and in Consensual Non-Monogamy through Sexual Health Alliance is in progress. My personal brand of therapy allows you to separate you from your issues and rewrite the story of your life to reflect who you truly are.

I specialize in helping men manage anxiety, infidelity, couple’s issues, trauma, and PTSD. I mainly use Solution-Focused Therapy as an approach, a model that focuses on strengths, resilience, and achieving goals. I am also EMDR trained. EMDR or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is an effective therapy for healing trauma, stress, and negative patterns. Using guided eye movements, it helps the brain reprocess distressing memories, reducing their emotional impact. I also sub-specialize in those in the first responder profession.
