Alex Penrod

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.

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.

Josh Berger

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.

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.

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.

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.

David Hixon

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.

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.

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.

Daniel Saroni

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.

John Watkins

You’ve likely done a lot of things “right”. From career to relationships, even past therapy – but does something feel off? Maybe you might feel disconnected, burned out, or like you’re performing a role rather than living your life. I specialize in working with men like you who are striving to reconcile their past, find meaning in their present, and create a more fulfilling future. Whether you’re dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, perfectionism, life transitions, or substance issues, therapy can be a powerful space to get out of your head and reconnect with yourself.
