“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”

― Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

I am a firm believer that life–even the best of lives– has moments of pain and suffering; however great or small. Some come to pass quickly and float away from our consciousness, while others stay with us, shape us, change our relationships and the way we see the world. The rest of our life is filled with moments dependent on how we cope with, process and accept those moments of pain or suffering.

Hello, I’m Dr Wiesner. I have a PhD in counseling. I was a professor teaching graduate students for seven years. During this time I was the director of a ten room counseling clinic at the university. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor for those new to the field, a Nationally Certified Counselor, and a Certified Clinical Mental Health Counselor.

I strive to be respectful and care about clients achieving their goals as quickly as possible. I taught diagnoses nine semesters at the university. I have published several research papers in peer reviewed journals and have made 7 presentations at the state and national level. I taught research methods and statistics but what really matters to me aren’t my degrees etc..but wanting you to live a zest filled life.

I have a degree in engineering and a MBA but left engineering to focus on assisting clients find and achieve goals that are important to them. Engineering trained me to think logically and to problem solve with an emphasis on practical issues and being practical. Practical and long lasting results is my focus.

I’m a member of Mensa and have been in the American Counseling Association and the Texas Counseling Association. While I have treated a long list of issues my main focus has been working with couples, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and past trauma.

If you choose me I would feel honored to help as best I can. I work with age ranges from six year olds to seniors. I like to say I want difficult and complex cases but you are not a case.

Hello, I'm Kristen Boisrond, a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in helping individuals navigate difficult life crossroads. I'm very passionate about making others feel validated, heard, and understood.

I am a firm believer in turning struggle to strength. I believe in you and the power of change. I am an empathetic listener and want to journey with you through your most difficult days to help you celebrate the great days!

My approach with clients is highly relational. I use an attachment-based lens to guide the therapeutic process, though I incorporate various theories and modalities to customize the journey toward healing for each client. My area of focus with adults is family of origin issues, dissociative disorders, complex trauma, and PTSD.

I help clients “update” or transform their own relationship to their need for connection to themselves and others. Each one of us has a unique life story and inherent gifts that shine when we move toward a life lived with connection, purpose, and intentionality.

Hello,

My name is Simone Nickerson, LPC. A little over a decade ago, my life would not have led to down the path of helping others, as I did not know how to truly help myself through certain experiences. With the support of my loved ones and other impactful individuals, I was given another chance at life. I then worked to provide the same support to others as I received. I started this journey by obtaining my MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, gaining the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively support others. My education led me to to gain a career in my local mental health authority at a community mental health center. With the experience gained from my time at my place of employment, I have worked with military service members and their families, the adult mental health population, and most recently, the justice involved population, where I provide counseling services and skills training with a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach. As I continue to grow upon my professional development, I strive to serve those in need and provide a safe space to be themselves. I look forward to supporting you along your journey of healing!

Our current and past life circumstances can often leave us with feelings of stress, anxiety, and sadness. These emotions can be confusing and difficult to manage and process. My goal is to come alongside clients to reach personal goals, using warmth, understanding, and acceptance. I will work with you, with you in the driver’s seat, to set goals, explore and gain understanding of yourself, process your emotions in a safe space, reframe negative beliefs about yourself, and find solutions that work for you. I enjoy working with clients with a variety of concerns including general anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues.

Many people come to therapy carrying burdens they have learned to live around rather than understand. Anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, loneliness, childhood wounds, and life transitions can leave you feeling stuck, disconnected, or uncertain about how to move forward. You may find yourself repeating the same patterns, struggling to connect with others, or wondering why certain experiences continue to affect you years later. My approach is grounded, collaborative, and deeply curious. I work with clients to better understand the experiences, relationships, and beliefs that have shaped the way they move through the world
