As a mindset and life coach for women, I can support my clients in person or virtually.
I find a true passion in coaching women to become more confident, empowered, driven, and all the while breaking generational cycles.

Charity Crawford
(She/Her/Hers)
LMSW, PMH-C
Welcome to your journey to wellness! I’m Charity Crawford, a Licensed Master Social Worker; I support individuals as they navigate through the wins and challenges of life.
I am passionate about serving new moms, military spouses, and military families. As a mom and military spouse of 12 years, I understand the unique challenges that come along with PCSing, deployments, and TDYs. Although this lifestyle affords us amazing opportunities, it also keeps us in a state of constant change.
I have helped families in crisis by providing support through psychoeducation related to stress management and conflict resolution. I’ve also facilitated new mom support groups; helping moms manage expectations and find hope in navigating parenting stressors.
I approach stress management from a concept of the triple Cs: Control, Cannot Control, & Coping Strategies.
• Things I can Control
• Things I Cannot Control
• Pinpoint Coping Strategies for issues outside of our control.
I know from my own path to wellness (and from helping others), that we heal holistically— mind, body, spirit, and soul. I believe that therapy provides a set of tools that we can carry for a lifetime.
Together, my hope is to help you identify your internal strengths and find solutions to best meet your goals!

(She/Her/Hers)
LCSW-S, PMH-C, Texas #56256
Welcome! I’m so happy you are here, and I am grateful for the opportunity to walk beside you on your journey. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Perinatal Mental Health provider (PMH-C), and EMDR trained. My goal will always be to encourage and help affirm your strengths, to meet you where your needs are, and to support you during whatever life or role transitions may occur.
I am passionate about providing supportive, collaborative, non-judgmental care and education to new parents (no matter the journey), those hoping to become parents, birthing persons, and pregnant individuals. Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders are so common, yet often minimized or overlooked. This time is incredibly challenging, isolating, overwhelming, and often accompanied by conflicting thoughts and feelings. I am here to help you recognize your strengths and to help you achieve your desired level of functioning.
Additionally, I enjoy providing individual and group therapy for LGBTQIA+, life transitions, grief/loss, anxiety, depression, and trauma, specifically utilizing Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy.
I believe your mental health is important, and everyone deserves the opportunity to feel empowered, to grow, and to heal in a collaborative, peaceful, trauma-informed environment.

Alexcis Grushinski LCSW-S
Hello, I am Alexcis a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people who long to feel stable and secure. Through my years of work, I have found that people want to live a well-rounded, healthy life. Unfortunately, barriers, keep them from moving forward and accomplishing their goals. Using supportive therapy and evidence-based practices I help people work through Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, Depression, Grief, and Trauma.
I am currently offering supportive therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, grief recovery, and EMDR.
Living a life of values does not guarantee a stress-free easy life. It can however help get through the tough times by keeping us on track to accomplish our goals. Life is hard and full of stress. I believe that through self-compassion, values, mindfulness, and a desire for something better will lead to a meaningful life.

Antonina Jordt LMSW
Your struggles and challenges don’t define you; your story is so much bigger than whatever brings you to therapy. I’m Antonina Jordt, a Licensed Master Social Worker, and I became a therapist because I know what it’s like to feel discouraged, to be lost. I know what it’s like to feel lonely and like no one else will understand. I know what it’s like to be haunted by the ghosts of your past. I also know what it’s like to keep going, overcome, and courageously identify the things that bring you happiness. I believe that you can do that, too. I support clients in cultivating healthier thought patterns and behaviors through cognitive-behavioral techniques. We’ll work together to explore your story and uncover the answers, while ensuring that you’re equipped with the right skills to make the necessary changes in your life. For the past three years, I’ve worked as a mental health professional in a jail, where I’ve encountered many different populations, allowing me to specialize in forensic assessments and assisting in competency restoration, while supporting individuals through what often was the worst time of their lives. I have experience working with:
-
Adults (18 and up)
-
LGBTQIA+
-
BIPOC
-
Veterans and military dependents
-
Individuals with criminal background
