Dreams are messages from our unconscious that help us understand our deepest Self. In our work together we may decipher the language of your unconscious, as well as discover symbolism that may be more general. Dreams are not the only road to self awareness. I will provide a safe, confidential partnership to assist you in your personal work. You can free yourself from patterns that may keep you from living the rich full life you may desire. Depression and anxiety are major roadblocks to success and intimacy. Through the process of psychotherapy you may resume the natural flow of your existence.

You can heal. I'm an ally and guide in the process. I work with pts/d and trauma, anxiety, chronic pain, and attachment interruption. My work integrates psychotherapy, bio-psychology, behavioral change, and holistic practice, and I use the lense of attachment theory to guide us. We will dismantle the barriers that block you from living your fullest life, however you define that, and we'll help you build new pathways to travel forward. Together, we use our relationship, your self-knowledge and life-knowledge, and my specialized training to move your life into something personally satisfying. I expect to open an office 6/24

I believe everyone is doing the best they can with what they have. I connect through curiosity and compassion to meet you where you are. In our work together, my goal is for you to feel supported and empowered in your healing journey. I hope to guide you to recognize and use your strengths to make the most of your life and circumstances. I use a trauma-informed perspective that enables us to reach a level of safety in which you can process, experience emotions, and advocate for your needs. I believe deeply in the healing power of a secure therapeutic relationship between you and your therapist.

Therapy can be your space to explore questions about yourself & others and how to cope with your unique challenges in a deeper way. Over time you too can begin to feel how liberating it is to show up for yourself. "Imperfections" are just the best way you have been able to cope with life circumstances. Learn how to listen to your own internal wisdom and tolerate the emotions you may have been numb to or disconnected from. Develop new ways to cope and be in the world that support the life you want to create. You too can begin to build a life you may have only wished for by giving yourself the time and support you deserve.

I am a native Texan who has lived and worked in the Houston area most of my career. I have a background in mental health providing services to individuals struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, grief any issues which cause distress.

I’m a licensed mental health counselor offering virtual therapy in Washington and Texas to adult individuals and couples who are looking for empathy, insight, and healing. I love working with clients who, like me, are neurodivergent, queer, cross-cultural, or just looking for a place to feel safe and understood. I'm curious, logical, and honest. My goal as a therapist is to be a trauma-informed, non-judgmental guide who discovers things alongside my clients.

If you are experiencing difficulties with anxiety, OCD, PTSD, or related conditions, I am passionate about helping you to change your life. I received my PhD & MA in clinical psychology from UT Austin, specializing in anxiety disorder research and treatment. I seek to provide a safe, warm, and affirming environment where your individual experience is validated. However, I do not believe that warmth alone is enough for competent treatment. When finding a doctor to treat a broken arm you certainly want a provider who is kind, but unfortunately even the most empathetic doctor will be ineffective if they do not know how to cast an arm!

I help people to get clear with their emotions. I start this process by getting curious with you about what is currently happening in your thoughts, feelings, and in your life. My way of working is supportive, compassionate, and aims to get at the root of things, so that you can navigate through life with more ease and an increasing sense of wholeness. My specialties are: Anxiety, Depression, and Life Transitions. I work with adults of all genders and racial identities, who want or need to honor themselves more and are ready to be or are already on a healing path.

The best therapy is a playful blend of science and relationship. My approach is transparent and direct, getting to the heart of the matter quickly. I use lots of neuroscience to help educate my clients about why and how we should communicate in relationships. My style is unique because I will use lots of humor to encourage us as we navigate each painful spot in your life. The end goal of my treatment is practical as well as compassionate - helping you become more present with others as well as with yourself. I see our work together as the beginning of a transformative process, a collaboration to create meaningful change.

Currently only accepting clients for Teletherapy. The individual who seeks to improve their quality of life would greatly benefit from having me as their counselor. Each session is goal-oriented and an educational process towards insight and awareness which can greatly improve a client's perspective of themselves; the world; and themselves in the world. I believe in short term, brief solution focused therapy to maximize time and therapeutic interventions. I strive to form a therapeutic alliance with my clients and act as a guide and mentor through all of life's challenges. For more information, go to marywebbtafoyapllc.com

I believe that people should not be limited to a label. We are so much more than problems or disorders; we are strengthened by our flaws and our most difficult experiences can transform us. I am direct, interactive, and strongly believe that people change through healing relationships. In sessions we will work together at a pace that feels right for you. We will identify and prioritize your goals, address problems that get in the way of your happiness, and collaboratively build lasting solutions. I will listen to and accept your feedback about how we are working together.

I'm a trauma-expert helping sensitive hearts, scapegoats, and empaths make sense of emotions and relationships and feel more embodied & empowered. Do you struggle with overwhelming emotions or interpersonal relationships? You may be feeling scared, enraged, or even hopeless. Strong emotions can be frustrating and disorienting leading you to shut down. This makes it difficult to communicate with others, leaving you feeling even more alone. This pattern perpetuates a vicious cycle of shame & isolation. Maybe you've tried everything to feel better but when it doesn't work, you're left with more despair wondering if you'll ever be okay.

For more than two decades, I've served as a counselor in various roles, as clinical director of psychiatric facilities, college counselor, private practitioner & clinical supervisor for counseling interns. I hold a master's degree in education with a specialization in guidance & counseling, as well as a Ph.D. in psychology. My counseling experience encompasses a wide array of areas such as women's issues, aging, depression, anxiety, self-esteem & domestic violence. I work with individuals from teenagers to adults of all ages. I believe that goals are deeply personal, and my aim is to assist individuals to reach their goals.

I specialize in supporting burned-out adults who feel overwhelmed and disconnected. I support you in defining what matters to you, reclaiming your self, and rediscovering joy. Whether you're wrestling with perfectionism, navigating people-pleasing, or feeling the strain of balancing parenthood with the rest of your life, I provide compassionate support tailored to your unique journey. Through a personalized approach, I empower you to navigate self-criticism, live authentically, and find fulfillment amidst life's challenges.

While I'm not new to providing therapy, I am new to Psychology Today - so I am still setting up my page. In the meantime, if you'd like more information about me or my approach to therapy, please check out my linked website.

I’m here to help you feel less overwhelmed, stuck, hopeless or helpless. To help you quiet your brain/body, organize your thoughts, and figure out not just where all this stuff comes from, but what you can do about it. Sometimes I help people find answers inside themselves they already knew, sometimes I help people get outside of themselves and use insights from our fellow humans, from nature, science, spirituality, philosophy, you name it. I’m a straight talker, AND I don’t judge— literally, I can teach you how to use a nonjudgmental stance— and possibly most importantly, I bring some FUN to this process!
