I'm a millennial therapist mixing healing with humor, honesty & compassion. Judgment-free vibes, deep work, and maybe a meme or playlist too. My approach is person-centered and strength-based, grounded in the belief that every individual holds the capacity for growth and healing. I bring a deep commitment to social justice into the therapy space, recognizing that meaningful healing often requires challenging and dismantling the oppressive systems that impact our lives. In our work together, I aim to create a safe, affirming space where your voice is heard and your resilience is honored.

Do you feel disconnected from yourself, unsure of who you truly are beneath the roles you play? Do you find yourself avoiding difficult emotions, turning to substances, food, or other behaviors to cope? Are your relationships strained by unspoken needs, patterns of self-sabotage, or difficulty with vulnerability? You’re not alone. Healing begins when you stop running from yourself and start facing what’s been buried. I believe in the transformative power of connection—with yourself, your body, and others. Together, we can uncover the strength and clarity already within you. I have worked in addiction and mental health treatment centers for four years. This experience has taught me to help others connect with emotional wounds and build coping skills that empower authenticity. Through somatic work, cognitive reframing, and deep exploration, I support you in finding your strength, values, and voice. I believe in the power of baby steps and authenticity. Healing isn’t easy and may feel impossible, but I’m here to support you every step of the way. I’d love to get to know you, understand your story, and learn what brings you to therapy. Everyone’s journey is unique, and together, we can create a path toward healing that feels right for you.

Yes, I'm just as funny as Melissa McCarthy! Going through a big change or feeling unsure about what’s next? I support young adults and people in transition—whether you’re starting something new, ending something old, or feeling stuck in between. I also work with clients of all ages and bring a warm, down-to-earth approach grounded in practical tools like CBT and solution-focused therapy. I’ve lived a lot of life—raised a family, worked in real estate and corporate settings—and I bring that perspective into the work we do together.

I work with young people who are navigating life and its many challenges. I specialize in trauma treatment and in working with difficult and complex situations wherein trauma, development, and mental health converge. My clients tend to have tried counseling and, for various reasons, feel it did not work for them. My clients are often struggling to show up in traditional therapy, feeling trapped in their suffering, frozen and unable to move. I work with them to find personal power and agency over their dissociative tendencies, to find healing and purpose again. I believe everyone can heal in relationship, especially young people.

Clinical Social Work/Therapist
Whitehouse, TX

It has been a privilege to have worked in the social work field for over 13 years in the state of Texas in various settings that have included long-term care, hospital settings, inpatient hospice, home health, foster and adoption, Alzheimer's and dementia care, private practice and now clinical supervision.  I received my bachelor's in social work from Texas Woman's University and my master's in social work from the University of Texas at Arlington. I spent my post-graduate 2-year clinicals preparing to work in private practice and specialize in trauma and serving our veteran population.  I am a native Texan who loves being a wife and mother, and I'm an avid nature lover with a passion for animals and for reading! ​​​​​ I take the upmost care to provide a warm, caring and judgement-free approach in my treatment. It's daunting to sit with a stranger and discuss painful and sometimes traumatic details, and I strive to provide a safe and comfortable space to every client. I am trained and practiced in using many therapeutic modalities and approaches including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and many more. I place great importance on getting to know you with a comprehensive intake and assessment and appropriate diagnosis. A diagnosis isn't meant to be a label, but it is vital to ensuring that you receive the right therapy modality for your needs. There is no one size fits all approach in therapy!

Pre-Licensed Professional
The Woodlands, TX

I have been in the counseling profession for two years. I was drawn to this line of work after witnessing how powerful connection, trust, and a listening ear can be in helping someone navigate life’s challenges, regardless of age. My experience includes treating depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, domestic violence, sexual abuse, and life transitions. I currently work with individuals 12 years and older and in my free time, I love attending sporting events (Go 'Stros!), live concerts and performances, and listening to a good audiobook or podcast with an iced coffee in hand. A journey towards healing starts with taking that first step. If you have questions or would like to schedule a free brief consultation call to help take that first step towards healing please contact me. Paige Ingersoll is an LPC-Associate supervised by Cortnee Wright, M.A., LPC-S.

Feeling overwhelmed by or drowning in the waves that life keeps hitting you with? Maybe you’ve been experiencing high tides for a long time or maybe you are experiencing them more recently due to a particular event in your life. Either way, it can feel exhausting AND you are not alone in this experience. Just as the tides of the ocean shift between high and low and never fully disappear, our life stressors will continue to ebb and flow. I will help you learn ways to navigate through the waves so that you aren’t consumed by them. I have 8 years of experience working with children, teens, and adults clinically in both crisis settings and school settings. I utilize a trauma-informed, integrative therapeutic approach to synthesize modalities to best meet the unique needs and goals of clients. Rather than maintain a rigid plan, I’ll intuitively pivot between Attachment-based therapy, Internal Family Systems, Somatic therapy, and other frameworks to best support the part of you that shows up in need during the session. Systems theory and social justice anchor my practice as I believe we are all deeply impacted by external systems, such as family, friends, careers, community, oppression, etc. I have experience working with clients who have been impacted by PTSD, incarceration, immigration, racial discrimination, homelessness, suicidal ideation, job loss, death loss of a family member, etc. No wave is too big or too small to be worked through in therapy. You’ve taken a huge step; You’ve shown up here for yourself to either start or continue your healing journey. If you feel we may align, please contact me for a free 15 minute consultation!

Licensed Professional Counselor
Heath, TX

Life can be hard. Extremely hard. Sometimes you can’t see your way out. It’s normal. When those hard moments in life come, I’m here to see you through to the other side of your pain. That’s the goal. The other side. I am the owner and lead therapist at Empowered Perspective. I am licensed in the state of Texas as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and received my master’s degree in Human Relations (the study of psychology, sociology, and anthropology) from the University of Oklahoma. The program provided a solid foundation in my journey to counseling. Before arriving here, I worked in Corporate America for over 12 years guiding individuals through their careers as a Global Talent Director. Although I was “successful” by many people's definition, I wasn’t fulfilled. That is when I decided to answer my “calling” and enter into the counseling profession. I am honored that God chose me to do this work. I work with teens, adults, couples, and families and couples suffering from a variety of issues such as depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, and grief. As your counselor, you will get someone who is authentic, straightforward, down-to-earth, and open-minded. My job is not to judge you or your actions. My job is to listen to you, encourage you, walk beside you, and yes, sometimes challenge your perspective. I work primarily from the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Spiritual/Transpersonal Therapy treatment modalities. In simple terms, CBT focuses on how thoughts influence our emotions and behavior. Spiritual Therapy focuses on the body, mind and health of a person’s spirit. It puts an emphasis on a person’s spiritual path or enlightenment during life. There is more to life than existing and living through the pain; more than being a mother, spouse, friend, employee, daughter, or son. Getting through the challenges and roadblocks can sometimes feel insurmountable and confusing. My goal is to help you see the beauty of life, find meaning, and sustainable joy. When you are ready, I am here to help.
