Find a Therapist in Waco, TX

Life can feel overwhelming — especially when you're grieving, burning out, or navigating a change you didn't see coming. Whether you're coping with loss, managing a demanding career, or simply feeling emotionally drained, you deserve a space where you can slow down, take a breath, and find answers for yourself. I'm Ann, a Licensed Professional Counselor-Associate practicing in Austin, TX at Luminary Counseling. My work is trauma-informed and person-centered, which means I believe you are the expert on your own life. My role is to walk alongside you, not ahead of you. Together, we'll explore your story, identify your strengths, and build the resilience you need for what's ahead. My path to counseling was shaped by my own life. A couple of years ago, things fell apart for me — I was burned out, grieving, and struggling with anxiety and trauma. I turned to counseling, and it changed my life. That experience gave me a deeper understanding of myself and showed me firsthand how transformative this work can be. It's why I left a long-term career in tech, consulting, and accounting to follow my heart into this field. I know what it's like to sit in that chair. I take our work together seriously. Asking for help is an act of courage and faith. Wherever you are, you are welcome in my practice. If you're ready to take a first step, I'd love to connect. I offer a free 30-minute consultation — no pressure, just a chance to meet and see if we're a good fit.

You don’t need to have everything figured out to begin healing. As your therapist, I won’t rush your process or pressure you to be anyone other than who you are. I provide a calm, nonjudgmental space where you can slow down, explore what’s weighing on you, and reconnect with what truly matters. My approach is grounded in humanistic and existential principles—meaning I see you as the expert on your life, and I’m here to help you uncover your own answers, not hand you mine. I often work with people who feel the weight of responsibility—veterans, high achievers, survivors, who are strong on the outside but silently carrying a lot within. I blend clinical training with lived experience as a Marine Corps veteran, Ironman triathlete, and trauma survivor. You’ll find that I bring depth, directness, and compassion into each session. Whether you’re navigating trauma, identity, anxiety, or purpose, I’ll meet you where you are and walk beside you with respect, clarity, and care.

Don't we all want to thrive and flourish and live our best life? I'm here to partner with you toward growth, healing, transformation, becoming your best self . . . Hello! My name is Kelly. I specialize in psychotherapy and counseling for adult individuals (age 21+). Most people seek therapy because of emotional distress, feeling stuck, or some variety of suffering. Psychological or mental pain can show up in our lives in many ways: feeling disconnected, lonely, not good enough, anxious, sad; struggling with perfectionism, unhealthy, hard-to-change patterns, relationship conflict, etc. "Symptoms" get in the way of living the life we really want. When we develop a loving relationship with self—with ongoing self-compassion—we can live a fuller, richer, more meaningful life. I partner with my individual clients toward healing and growth through 3 key processes: (1) deepening our understanding of self, (2) strengthening our ability to effectively connect with others, and (3) honoring the spiritual, the divine, the sacred. I see spirituality as an important aspect of the whole person, regardless of religion. In addition to individual psychotherapy, I also offer pre-marital counseling for engaged couples. Pre-marital counseling involves an assessment and usually runs 3-5 sessions. For more information, please message me through this profile OR just go ahead and SELF-schedule a preliminary consultation (free, 15 min) through my website. See "Visit Website" link on this page to schedule a conversation. Initial consults are free and virtual, but full sessions after that can be either in-person in my Dallas office or virtual (TX only). All proceeds beyond operating expenses are donated to mental-health research and aid, various charitable organizations. Therapist does not profit.

I have a resolute belief that each person has the ability to become the person they want to be. There are many experiences in a persons life that cloud their vision. I feel that the actions needed to achieve the self-actualized self can be discovered by processing life experiences in a way that changes how they are incorporated in daily life. Often, people are trying to be what they think others want them to be rather than focusing on their own vision. I seek to work through these issues whether they be traumatic or non-traumatic experiences with a client centered approach. You are the only expert about your life. I feel my role in their exploration is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space along with exercises fit to your needs. I draw my interventions from humanistic approaches and EMDR. I strive to make sure that you find the inner peace and life satisfaction as fast as posible

Counseling for Individuals, Couples, and Families If you feel it's time for a change in yourself, in your relationship, or in your family dynamic but you're unsure how to proceed, I can help. Feeling anxious, stuck, or depressed and not knowing how to move forward can feel disheartening. Trying to navigate a difficult relationship when you feel frustrated or resentful can be unproductive. I work with individuals, couples and families on communicating more effectively, feeling more confident and secure, and being more connected with each other. Together we can illuminate what's prevented you from the change you're looking for and can discover some new ways to approach these issues. Learning what's been holding you back and not allowing you to move forward out of anxiety, depression, or feeling stuck can be life changing. And, working towards building the relationship you want can be transformative. If you think it's time to resolve past hurts, manage anxiety, lift depression, or gain a new perspective, I'd love to meet with you. I want to help you feel strong, capable, and clear about the direction of your life.
