Professional statement

Rhea is a psychotherapist who works primarily with adults navigating burnout, relationship stress, life transitions, and substance use concerns. She has a strong focus on supporting women, neurodivergent individuals (including ADHD), and those impacted by high-stress environments such as military life or complex family systems. Many of her clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns like people-pleasing or over-responsibility, or unsure how to move forward. She provides a space where clients can slow down, gain clarity, and begin building a life that feels more aligned and sustainable.

Her approach to therapy is collaborative, direct, and grounded in authenticity. She integrates evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and trauma-informed care, while also drawing from psychodynamic and insight-oriented frameworks. She believes lasting change happens when clients are both supported and gently challenged, helping them understand the patterns driving their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Sessions include deeper exploration, practical tools, and honest conversations that foster meaningful growth.

She has experience in community mental health and substance use treatment, including work with individuals involved in probation, drug court, and CPS-related systems. This background strengthens her ability to balance accountability with compassion while helping clients navigate systemic pressures. In addition to her clinical training, her lived experience as a military spouse navigating deployments, reintegration, and divorce informs her understanding of relationship strain, identity shifts, and resilience.

She is a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor in Texas, supervised by Donald Cook. She offers telehealth services across Texas and is currently accepting new clients with flexible scheduling options.


Message to clients

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you’re used to holding everything together on your own. If you’re here, there’s a good chance you’re tired of feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or like you’re carrying more than you should have to. You don’t have to figure it all out before you show up. That’s what we do together.

When we work together, you can expect me to be real with you. I’m not here to judge you, fix you, or force you into a one-size-fits-all approach. I’m here to understand you, challenge the patterns that aren’t working, and help you build something better in a way that actually fits your life. There’s space here for honesty, for humor, for the messy in-between moments, not just the polished version of things.

My hope for you is that therapy becomes a place where you can finally exhale. A place where you feel safe enough to be fully yourself, while also growing into the version of yourself you’ve been trying to reach. If you’re ready for that kind of work, I’m here when you are.
