As one who has witnessed and experienced the impact of complex trauma, I have a deep sense of empathy and understanding of how emotional wounds can cloud our ability to live fulfilled lives.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Dialectical Behavioral Therapist with over 20 years of experience. I am honored to come alongside individuals facing challenges in relationships, anxiety and depression, and difficult or traumatic experiences. These can lead to hopelessness, despair, fear, shame, and guilt, and I appreciate the opportunity to help those in need find hope, purpose, meaning, restoration, and joy. I also work with young children, preteens, and adolescents and their families navigating situations like divorce or sudden loss, as well as couples who wish to repair and rebuild.
My approach is to join you as a guide through your healing journey, almost like a therapeutic Google Map—you stay in the driver's seat. While we're together, you'll be in an environment free of judgment where you can be truly seen and heard. Younger clients will have a creative space to communicate through play and process the chaos and stress around them.
Therapy can feel vulnerable and is sometimes seen as a sign of weakness. In truth, seeking help is a sign of strength and bravery. We were wired and built to do life together, and your motivation to seek help is actually you doing what you are built to do. I truly hope and look forward to working with you so you can see what is possible for your life.

Welcome! I am Monika Parker, a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate and National Certified Counselor in Texas, who is currently being supervised by Adam Dueber LPC-S. I earned my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Grand Canyon University. I invite Military & Veterans, military families, adolescents and adults.
My approach is collaborative and grounded in evidence-based practices such as CBT, DBT and a person centered approach. We will focus on building a strong therapeutic relationship where you feel safe, connected, and free to show up as your authentic self while creating space for reflection, healing, and growth.
I aim to champion holistic mental health and walk alongside individuals as they navigate their journey toward self-understanding and fulfillment. What drives my work is witnessing the transformation that happens when clients move from moments of vulnerability to a place of confidence, clarity, and empowerment.

As an individual with personal experiences of grief and trauma, I understand the necessity for a deep sense of empathy, understanding, and compassion in my work with each client.
I am a therapist, who is being supervised by Christopher Hansen LPC-S, with a B.A. in Psychology from Texas A&M University and an M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Texas at San Antonio. My professional journey began in the nonprofit sector, where I recognized a gap in access to quality mental health care and was inspired to further my education to better serve those in need. I work with older adolescents, young adults, and individuals in later adulthood navigating anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, psychosis, and other concerns. I strive to help each person feel understood while we work together toward personal growth.
My approach is tailored to each client's unique needs. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), person-centered, and trauma-focused approaches to provide care that's responsive. I believe meaningful progress happens within a collaborative relationship and creates lasting change that feels aligned with your goals.
I know how much courage it takes to open up and begin this process. I also know how important it is to feel genuinely seen, heard, and met with empathy. You deserve that kind of space. Therapy can be a powerful opportunity to create meaningful change in your life, and you don't have to do it alone. When you're ready, we can take that first step together.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 7 years of experience serving individuals and families across Texas. I provide bilingual services in English and Spanish, offering a culturally responsive approach that values family, community, and personal identity. I have worked in community mental health, inpatient, and outpatient settings, helping clients navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions with compassion and professionalism.
I earned my Master’s in Clinical Rehabilitation Counseling from the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. I also hold a Bachelor’s in Rehabilitative Services. My background in rehabilitation and counseling allows me to integrate empathy, structure, and strength-based strategies to support each client’s growth and healing journey.
In our sessions, you can expect empathy, respect, and collaboration as we work together toward positive change. My goal is to create a safe space where you feel heard, validated, and supported while building resilience and confidence to live a more balanced and fulfilling life.
I am passionate about supporting individuals and families in my community by creating a compassionate, empowering space for healing and growth.

I want to provide the highest quality of clinical services, to promote the emotional, relational, and your overall potential.
Hi, I'm Veronica Navarrete, a licensed clinical social worker dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges with compassion, clarity, and practical tools for growth. I hold a master's in social work from NMSU and have been practicing since 2009. For 18 years, I've supported clients managing anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and life transitions, using a blend of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, and strengths-based approaches.
Through cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), I focus on challenging and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, improving emotional regulation, and developing personal coping strategies that target solving current personal stressors.
You don't have to go through this alone. Whatever you're facing stress, anxiety, grief, or simply feeling stuck — your feelings are valid, and your story matters. You'll have a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can be heard, supported, and truly seen. We'll work at your pace to find clarity, healing, and hope. I'd be honored to walk alongside you.

As a woman who has endured trauma, grief, and loss, I am genuinely caring and want to help others through their most difficult times in life.
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 7 years of experience working with school-aged children, adolescents, and adults from diverse backgrounds. I provide therapy in both English and Spanish and focus on supporting individuals as they navigate everyday stressors, emotional challenges, and concerns that may feel overwhelming to manage alone.
I earned my master’s degree in social work from the University of Texas at San Antonio. My clinical approach is trauma-informed and integrates cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, and humanistic therapies. I also incorporate grounding, mindfulness, and imagery techniques to help clients strengthen coping skills and emotional regulation.
I believe clients are the experts in their own lives, and I strive to create a safe, supportive therapeutic space where growth and self-awareness can unfold. It is a privilege to support individuals on their healing journey, and I look forward to partnering with you as you work toward meaningful and lasting change.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

My go-to approach for helping people in individual therapy is CBT. I see the best benefit in CBT because you are able to work with individuals on all aspects such as thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and this is a technique that I feel covers most issues.
I teach about the following tools and habits in individual therapy: cognitive distortions, coping skills, irrational thoughts, mood diaries, and reframing thoughts.
I know a client is making meaningful progress in individual therapy when they are able to give me examples of how they are incorporating the tools learned in session but also from the way they present themselves.
Clients can supplement their time in individual therapy by reading books, writing what they feel, and keeping a mood journal.
To prepare for your first individual therapy session, you can make sure you have an idea of what you want to talk about, such as 3 bullet points of your goals in therapy.
Individual therapy, also known as Individual therapy, allows people to engage in private sessions with a skilled therapist, counselor, or psychologist. The core objective of individual therapy is to establish a secure and confidential setting where you can openly discuss whatever emotional, psychological, or behavioral challenges you face. Through these one-on-one sessions, the client and therapist work together to delve into, comprehend, and ultimately find solutions for the issues at hand in their life.
Individual therapy unfolds in a structured process, commencing with an initial assessment in which the therapist gathers essential information about your history, concerns, and objectives. Together, you and your therapist collaboratively establish specific, attainable goals for your sessions, which can encompass symptom alleviation, personal development, or finding solutions to particular challenges.
Yes, individual therapy, also known as Individual therapy, at Thriveworks can help you to improve your mental health and overall quality of life.
Individual therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The duration of your individual therapy sessions will vary. The decision on the number and frequency of sessions is typically collaboratively determined by the client and therapist.
