About Us

Hello and congratulations on making the wonderful decision to add therapy to your self-care/healing journey. It definitely takes courage. I am a graduate of Texas A&M University- Central Texas, where I earned both my bachelor's in psychology and later my masters in clinical mental health counseling. I am a combat veteran and was a paramedic for many years. As a Licensed Professional Counselor-Associate my goal is to aid my clients in reaching success as they define it. I have experience with clients of all ages and from varied cultural and ethnic backgrounds. Therapy is not easy but you are worth it. Let's work to together to obtain mental wellness.  

Michelle Koudsi, under the supervision of Jaclyn D. Satchel, LCSW-S, PMH-C, is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) who obtained her Master of Social Work degree from the University of Texas at Arlington. With a diverse background as a Registered Interior Designer and former nursing student, Michelle brings unique perspectives as a clinician.

During her time at the University of Texas at Arlington, Michelle gained extensive experience supporting pregnant and new mothers (peripartum mothers) and their families. Through her internship on the project Becoming a Mother During a Pandemic (BAM), she studied the impact of natural disasters, like the Coronavirus pandemic, on maternal healthcare and mental health. Michelle’s involvement in this project ignited her passion for empowering and assisting peripartum mothers as they navigate the complex challenges of this life phase. She also gained experience through her internship at the Jewish Family Service of Houston (JFS), which involved providing comprehensive individual and group counseling services to individuals from diverse backgrounds, spanning various age groups and mental health conditions.

As a therapist, Michelle adopts a person-centered therapeutic approach and tailors her techniques to meet each client’s unique needs. Her objective is to create a holistic, non-judgmental, and safe therapeutic environment where clients feel at ease expressing themselves and sharing their story. Michelle’s unique professional and academic experiences have fostered a particular interest in integrative mental health and working with underserved populations. Her areas of focus include expecting and postpartum mothers, individuals living with chronic illness and their families, the neurodivergent population (tweens, adolescents, and adults), as well as individuals and families in crisis or coping with trauma. Michelle is committed to continuous growth and seeks further training to better serve the clients she works with.

In her personal life, Michelle values spending meaningful time with her spouse and children. She enjoys engaging in outdoor pursuits, crafting thoughtful gift assortments, expressing her creativity through digital artwork, and immersing herself in healthcare and mental health literature during her free time.

Hello, my name is Kimberly D. Wallace, and I am a dedicated Licensed Professional Counselor Associate and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor intern with a passion for helping individuals overcome the challenges that have impacted their mental health. After spending over 30 years in corporate environments, I decided to follow my true calling and pursue a career in counseling.

I specialize in working with young adults, adults, and professionals who are seeking treatment and recovery from traumas that have resulted in anxiety, depression, addiction, or other mental health challenges. My extensive training in substance abuse disorders, including alcohol, opioids, and other illicit substances, has equipped me with the knowledge and expertise to address addiction-related concerns. Additionally, I am experienced in working with behavior addictions such as sex addiction, love addiction, porn addiction, partner betrayal, and financial addictions that can significantly impact one’s life.

My approach to the healing process is centered around the concept of the whole person. I believe that addressing mental health challenges requires a comprehensive understanding of the individual’s unique experiences, strengths, and goals. By utilizing evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EDMR), the 30-Task Model, and Internal Family Systems, I tailor my therapeutic approach to suit your specific needs and circumstances.

My goal is to provide you with a safe and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment. Together, we will work collaboratively to identify and implement effective strategies to help you regain control of your life and cultivate a greater sense of well-being.

I am deeply committed to your growth and dedicated to helping you navigate the challenges you may be facing. It would be an honor to join you on your transformative journey towards healing and recovery.

Hello and welcome to Cadia. I'm so glad you're here. My name is Aneika and I am creative, innovative, and forward-thinking clinician who strives to encourage, enlighten, and empower all clients. While I have worked with client populations from age 3 through adulthood, my specialties are child and adolescent therapy and perinatal mental health.

A majority of my work has involved counseling adults and young people diagnosed with mood and behavioral disorders with great success. Many of the clients served have a history of extensive trauma, abuse, and neglect.

I have been a therapist in a residential treatment center, school-based counseling program, homeless shelter, AIDS foundation house, alternative school, and domestic violence program that served both perpetrators and victims of domestic violence. I have also worked with juvenile offenders, families with open Child Protective Services (CPS) cases, individuals served through the local mental health authority, and private practice settings specializing in adjustment and postpartum issues. Work and volunteer experiences have afforded me the opportunity to work with and treat individuals with adjustment, marriage, family, co-occurring, severe mental health, substance abuse, and perinatal mental health disorders.

My theoretical orientation for counseling is centered around a Cognitive Behavioral, Rogerian, holistic, and trauma focused therapy. The treatment I provide incorporates strength-based techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT), Trauma Focused - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Gestalt Therapy, Experiential Therapy, and training through The Gottman Institute.

My approach to treatment and recovery is often collaborative between therapist, client, and any other supportive resources available and/or necessary depending on clients' needs. With this approach, the therapeutic experience is synergistic and reinforces client autonomy along with client empowerment throughout the therapeutic process. In the work that I do with clients, I emphasize the growth of all five selves - social, emotional, physical, spiritual, and cognitive selves- of the individual.
