I believe therapy is a collaborative journey of healing, and I strive to offer an inclusive, gentle, and tailored space where both adults and children feel empowered to grow and thrive.
I'm Nargis Ali, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a Master of Arts in Clinical and Mental Health Counseling. I believe we all have unique strengths that help us navigate life's challenges. Seeking support through counseling is one way to rediscover and foster them. Since 2016, I have worked with both children and adults facing challenges like anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma, and life transitions. My clients seek to build practical coping strategies, process painful experiences, or find emotional balance. My goal is to collaborate with you to create a secure path toward healing and personal growth.
My approach is collaborative and integrative, drawing from CBT, DBT, ACT, and Family therapy to meet your unique needs. You can expect a gentle, nonjudgmental space where we target specific goals, process trauma, and develop practical coping skills. Together, we will build on your strengths to help you navigate transitions and find lasting relief.
Taking the first step toward therapy is a courageous act of self-care. Wherever you are on your path, please know you do not have to walk it alone. I am here to support you with compassion, understanding, and respect. When you are ready to begin your healing journey, I invite you to connect with me and schedule your first session.

As an African American male who has personally experienced ADHD and anxiety, I understand how stress can make tasks feel overwhelming. I take a laid back, nonjudgmental approach to create a safe space for clients, making it easier to discuss challenges.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Louisiana and Texas with 9 years of experience. Since 2016, I’ve dedicated my career to supporting individuals in navigating anxiety, self-esteem, depression, life transitions, focus issues, and overcoming challenges. My approach is centered on helping clients shift thought patterns to create healthier perspectives, and I work to provide a professional yet welcoming environment where people feel heard, understood, and supported. I aim to help reduce anxiety and depression, while empowering clients to overcome obstacles and build resilience for long-term growth and positive change.
I earned my Master’s in Counseling and Guidance from Louisiana Tech University. I use cognitive behavioral therapy to guide clients in addressing challenges with new perspectives. By focusing on skills such as self-reflection and positive affirmations.

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.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

My approach for helping people in couples/marriage counseling is not to think of the relationship as a separate entity that clients are trying to “protect.”
The tools that I teach in couples/marriage counseling are giving each other affirmation, positive communication, and how to have a healthy argument.
I know that a couple is making progress through how they interact with each other during a session, such as where they sit and who they are talking to during the session.
Couples can supplement their time in couples/marriage counseling by taking the time to have structured dialogue on a daily basis.
In order to prepare for their first session of couples/marriage counseling, clients need to identify what they would like to see different about their relationship and how they can actively make that change.
Marriage counseling, also known as couples therapy and relationship counseling, helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. Thriveworks marriage counseling in Bastrop, TX is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples. Some examples of common focuses within Marriage counseling include:
Marriage counseling works by helping couples identify and better navigate their unique challenges. Following an initial assessment of the couple in terms of strengths and needs, the therapist would then discuss their therapeutic goals and any possible approaches or ways of working together as therapist and couple.Couples attend sessions together, whether they meet in person or by video. In addition to regular marriage counseling sessions, each partner may also be asked to attend a few individual sessions to supplement their progress. This will allow their counselor to get to know each individual better, assess each of their personal needs, and develop the very best treatment plan moving forward.
Marriage counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend marriage counseling for 12 weeks. However, marriage counseling may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress. Marriage counselors and therapists at Thriveworks in Bastrop, TX work with their clients to create goals, decide on ideal timelines, and establish treatment plans.
Before you get married, you’re both excited about the idea of til-death-do-us-part. They call it the “honeymoon phase,” where you’re completely crazy about each other and spend as much time one-on-one as you possibly can. It’s wonderful.
At some point, you start to spend more and more time apart. You get on each others’ nerves. You nitpick. You argue. You shout and slam doors. You spend a night (or several) on the couch. You resent one another. The person you once loved more than any other human being in the world has become the person you least want to be around.
If you can relate to this, reach out to Thriveworks Bastrop for help. We have compassionate marriage counselors who are here to support you and help you get your marriage back on track.
Unhappiness in a marriage can come from many places. Some common sources of distress in a marriage that might cause you to seek marriage help include:
Divorce is becoming all to common place. For some people it’s the way out of a legitimately awful situation, and in others it’s an expensive way of not dealing with your problems and simply carrying them with you to your next relationship.
Regardless of how long you two have been arguing or somehow distancing yourselves from one another — recognize that there is a problem, and then decide that fixing an issue is so much less painful than letting it fester and grow. Do you want things to stay the way they are (if not worsen), or do you want your relationship to continually become more and more satisfying?
Being honest with yourselves about the fact that you need outside help to resolve your issues is not a sign of weakness. It’s a sign of good judgement. It’s a sign that you still love one another and want a more fulfilling life together. Contact us today if you want to improve your relationship. Our counselors are highly qualified professionals who have helped many couples overcome their marital problems.
