Daniel facilitates learning and insight building around factors contributing to mood difficulty and unhealthy behaviors. Together with his clients, he hopes to explore with how their trauma, questions about identity or purpose, communication and boundaries, and negative or shameful beliefs are impacting their moods, relationships, and lives. He utilizes expressive interventions and eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing to encourage the brain’s innate tendency towards improvement and health.

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.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with experience working in inpatient and outpatient settings with adults and teens. In my outpatient practice, I focus on transitions we experience at all life stages, grief/loss, relationship issues, stress, anxiety, depression and related problems. My approach is client-centered and forefronts your unique experience, making our work very collaborative. My role is to be an objective, accepting and reflective person that welcomes you to really examine all aspects of yourself and your existence in the world. I provide a safe space to increase your openness to life experiences, and confront barriers to develop insight-driven movement.

I am an eclectic therapist that uses techniques that are best suited to each individual client. My style is to let the client lead the treatment; however, I do help my clients stay accountable for the goals they are wanting to achieve. I enjoy working with individuals wanting to be their best selves while still protecting themselves. I have experience working with men’s issues, depression, anxiety, sexual issues and other concerns.

Dr. Aileen Fullchange
Dr. Aileen Fullchange
My approach to therapy has its foundation in strengths-based interventions that create emotional safety and facilitate insight and transformation. I draw from a variety of orientations, including client-centered, solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavioral, positive psychology, mindfulness, and body-based therapies, such as Trauma Sensitive Yoga. I take an ecological approach to therapy, considering each person’s unique history, experiences, and communities.

Dr. Karina Rabinowitz

Our world is undeniably gendered, and there are unique challenges, special strengths, and certain spoken and unspoken expectations that come with navigating the male experience. I create a therapeutic space that is conversational, non-judgmental, connective, and supportive to help you process, understand, and cope with your personal challenges. I particularly enjoy working with men who are looking to use their analytical strengths to expand their skill set in the realm of emotional awareness.

Jesse Hernandez

You’re used to being in control, but when it comes to your emotions, it feels like they control you. Maybe the anxiety or hurt from past experiences keeps you on edge, or your relationship is strained because of anger, withdrawal, or difficulty expressing yourself.
I help men navigate relationship challenges, emotional barriers, and past trauma. Through the use of various trauma-informed techniques I help you gain control over your emotions and reactions. My approach is direct but supportive, helping you address the root causes of your mental health struggles and equip you with tools to manage stress and triggers.

I work to help families connect and help teens and adolescents work through complex feelings and emotions centered around growing up.

Dr. Macy Wilson

The majority of my research and practice has centered around issues with masculinity, and I am especially passionate about providing services to men of color. I understand being in therapy can be difficult – it’s you being vulnerable, meeting a new person, breaking cultural and societal barriers, and getting to know parts of yourself that you’d maybe intentionally turned away from. My goal as a psychologist is to connect with, walk beside, and consistently challenge you in the goals you have set for yourself… and to help you identify a place to start when the goal may not be clear yet.

Brandi Hotop

I work with a broad spectrum of clients, including non-traditional relationships (such as poly/open), premarital couples, and those exploring alternative sexuality (kink/fetish). My expertise extends to addressing communication challenges, family dynamics, sex and sexuality issues, low self-esteem, depression, and anxiety. As an LGBTQ+ affirming and Kink affirming therapist, I offer a supportive and practical approach, integrating various methods to provide personalized solutions. To name a few approaches I utilize: IFS, Out of Control Sexual Behaviors approach, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy with couples, the Gottman theory, psychodynamic, somatic work, and a positive sex therapy approach.

Change is inevitable in life. My work as a counselor helps you make positive changes in your life and understand any barriers to making progress.
Oftentimes, a precursor to change is strife, difficulty, and confusion about what we truly want. Discerning what we desire – what fills us with vitality- is the work of psychotherapy. It can be difficult to know what we want if we’re stuck in habits, relationships, or patterns that no longer serve us or exist only to help us numb ourselves. Our minds crave novelty, but they also desire stability. But when stability turns to rigidity turns to stagnation – it becomes time for compassionate self-examination.

“The world is changing at a rate faster than our ability to adapt to that change.” – Astro Teller
If this is true, no wonder you’re frustrated, exhausted, getting stuck in numbing and escaping behaviors, and wondering if this is all there is to modern life. The demands of life (relationships, marriage, parenting, career, personal health, mental health) are more than you can handle and you often are just trying to make it to the end of the day.
I specialize in working with men and helping them get relief from everyday demands, so they can go deep in their most important relationships.

Felix Vara

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.
