Perhaps one of the hardest decisions in life is to seek help. You are used to handling everything yourself, but you don’t have to do this alone. We all encounter challenges and/or disadvantages at one point in life, and it is easy to feel discouraged and criticize yourself in this process. Although these difficulties can affect you in profound and painful ways, I believe that they are also opportunities to learn about yourself—acknowledge what is not working and find what will work. This journey is quite exhausting for one person, so I aim to become a part of your support system. As a counselor, I hope to empower each individual to make personal choices that will allow them to discover confidence, direction, happiness, peace, and healing. My role as a therapist is to, first and foremost, create a safe space for your stories to be heard and understood. I will listen to your experiences with compassion, warmth, curiosity, hope, respect, and trust. I believe in genuineness and transparency in the therapeutic relationship, so I will communicate directly yet gently. I offer a collaborative and individualized therapeutic process that allows you to accomplish your goals. In other words, my approach to counseling varies based on what is the best fit for each client. I use creative methods to increase self-awareness and self-reflection (e.g. mindfulness, writing, drawing, music, poetry, activities) because I believe each person has a unique medium of expression. Your commitment to change is also monumental in this process because you are the expert on your life. I will be there as a guide to help you uncover your true potential. I hold a Master of Science degree in Counseling from Southern Methodist University. I work with older adolescent and adult individuals who struggle with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorders, personality disorders, interpersonal/relationship issues, OCD, ADHD, grief and loss, trauma/PTSD, LGBTQIA+ related issues, transition and change, anger management, stress management and self-care, social justice issues, and low self-confidence. As an Asian American woman, I celebrate diversity and welcome people from all backgrounds.

Kyle, TX

You aren't broken or damaged, you're a hero who needs help on their quest. I specialize in working with teens and adults who struggle with anxiety, grief, chronic pain, and performance challenges. I help by integrating EMDR, Internal Family Systems, narrative, and strength-based therapies into a collaborative roadmap. In our first sessions, you can expect a thorough assessment, introduction to trauma-focused techniques like EMDR, and co-creation of a safe, strengths-focused environment. My practice is unique because I frame therapy as your hero’s journey, empowering you to harness resilience with evidence-based interventions. I’m Chad Starrak, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and founder of Questline Counseling. I specialize in trauma-informed therapy and EMDR, helping clients navigate anxiety, life transitions, burnout, and unresolved trauma. Whether you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for change, therapy offers a space to rediscover your inner clarity and direction. Each session opens a doorway—an invitation to journey inward, where forgotten truths and hidden strength reside. This isn’t a path to fix what’s broken, but to remember what’s sacred. Together, we’ll listen beneath the surface and follow the threads that lead you home to yourself.

Are you feeling totally overwhelmed? Burnt out? Stuck? Resentful? Maybe your body feels like a mystery no one has the time—or patience—to help you figure out? Perhaps you're a high achiever but feel as if you're giving so much to coursework and to others that there’s nothing left for yourself. Or maybe you're navigating PCOS, thyroid issues, chronic illness or just feeling "over it" all, and you’re starting to wonder if this constant exhaustion and frustration is just how your life is going to be.Are you feeling totally overwhelmed? Completely overextended as a woman? Burnt out? Stuck? Resentful? Maybe your body feels like a mystery no one has the time—or patience—to help you figure out? Perhaps you're a healthcare provider (or any woman) giving so much to others that there’s nothing left for yourself. Or maybe you're navigating PCOS, thyroid issues, chronic illness or just feeling "over it" all, and you’re starting to wonder if this constant exhaustion and frustration is just how your life is going to be. I'm Kate, and I help young women like you—smart, compassionate, and deeply tired—find their way back to themselves. I offer therapy that’s somatic, trauma-informed and radically affirming. While I don't have any "fairy dust" in my pocket, I will happily walk beside you while you rediscover yours. This is a space where you don’t have to perform wellness and you don’t have to walk alone.

Do you remember a time when worry and insecurity weren’t the “norm”, but those days feel like a distant memory? Don’t you wish you had the tools to change that? You’re in the right place. I help my clients find confidence, happiness, and fulfillment by equipping them with the tools they need to better understand and trust themselves again. I know that your circumstances are unique, so every step we take will be tailored to you with the end goal in mind. My training in EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution Focused therapy means I have the expertise you need and deserve when you are healing from anxiety or painful memories. But, at the end of the day, you want to you’re working with someone who “gets” what it means to be a young woman struggling with anxiety, or troubling memories, right? I get it, because I have lived it myself. I’ve had the anxiety that made me question every decision, and the painful memories that keep coming up at inconvenient times. I know sometimes you just want to quit. So when we work together, you won’t just get a trained therapist. You’ll get someone who truly understands what you’re going through. Clients come to see me looking for a therapist who helps them feel seen and understood, because therapy should be a place where you feel supported and safe. Sessions with me are about more than just talking. We will incorporate mind and body, so you can experience wholeness again. Together, we get to where you're feeling stuck and work to fix it. An an anxiety and trauma therapist, I believe people have the strength for lasting change. You don't have to continue to worry and you don't have to do it alone. We will always go at your pace, never pushing you to a place you don't feel ready to be.

Conroe, TX

Through play therapy, even young children (ages 3+) can express big feelings in a safe and nurturing way. I support children experiencing family changes—such as divorce, separation, or parenting transitions—while helping them build coping skills, confidence, and healthy communication. I also work with teens and adults navigating stress, anxiety, life transitions, and self-worth challenges. My approach is encouraging, supportive, and focused on helping each client feel understood and empowered. Using play-based techniques and parent–child interaction strategies, I guide children in expressing emotions, developing self-regulation, and improving interactions at home and school. I also offer parents practical tools and psychoeducation to continue the progress outside the therapy room. For clients who wish to incorporate faith or spirituality into their healing, I provide an integrated approach that honors and supports those values. Whether you’re seeking support for your child, teen, or yourself, I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward growth, healing, and emotional well-being.

I absolutely love working with young adults. College comes with unique challenges such as navigating the academic, social, and personal challenges that come with this stage of life. Whether you're adjusting to a new environment, managing stress, dealing with relationship concerns, or simply trying to understand yourself better, counseling can provide clarity, support, and practical strategies for growth. It is a confidential, judgement-free space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, learn healthy coping skills, and build resilience.

If you're looking for a therapist who'll be your biggest hype girl but also call you out on your bullshit, I’ve got you. My sessions are 75-min because it gives us the time we need to go a little deeper. If you’ve got anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, trauma, and/or run of the mill existential angst, I’ve been there, so we’ll probably be a good fit. Text me and we’ll set up a time to chat.
