About
After years in healthcare and a career change of my own, I understand that life doesn’t always come with a clear plan. I bring a practical, curious approach to therapy and believe you don’t have to have everything figured out before you begin.
I'm Rob Evans, and I work with teens and adults who are anxious, grieving, or figuring out what comes next. Health concerns often come into the picture. Stress, physical health, and mood are all connected, and all of them have a place in our work together. Before counseling, I was a respiratory therapist. I spent years working with people through illness, stress, and uncertainty. I later made a career change of my own, so I understand what it's like to step into something new without having all the answers. Sessions with me are practical and direct. You don't need a polished story to begin.
I use CBT most often because it gives us something concrete to work with: we look at the thoughts and habits that keep you stuck, and you leave each session with something to try before the next one. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate in Texas, supervised by Shaunté Collins, LPC-S, with an M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of North Texas at Dallas.
We can start wherever you are. If something has been weighing on you and you're ready to take a closer look, reach out and we'll see if we're a fit.

Hi, I’m Giselle, an LPC-Associate with a master’s degree in counseling and experience supporting children, adolescents, and families through life’s challenges. My work has included supporting clients navigating anxiety, stress, trauma, emotional challenges, relationships, and major life transitions. I strive to create a warm, welcoming, and judgment-free space where you can feel comfortable being yourself, feel heard and understood, and work toward meaningful growth at your own pace.
I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can show up as your authentic self without fear of judgment, and I strive to create that kind of space by meeting each person with warmth, compassion, curiosity, and an open mind while walking alongside them through whatever life may bring.
My approach to therapy is collaborative and tailored to each individual. I don’t believe there is a one-size-fits-all approach, so I take time to understand your experiences and goals. Together, we can explore what may be getting in the way, develop practical tools for navigating difficult moments, and build greater confidence and self-understanding.
Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for something to change, I’m here to meet you where you are. My hope is that together we can create a space where you feel supported, understood, and empowered to move forward with greater clarity and confidence. I’d be honored to be part of that journey with you.

As a mixed-race, seven-year married, retired Army Veteran, with a blended family I have been honored with life experience that translates on multiple levels. Hello, I'm Amber, a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPC-A) specializing in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I believe that counseling is a collaborative therapeutic partnership built on trust, respect, and authenticity. I view each client as an expert on their own life, while my role is to provide guidance, clinical expertise, and support as we work together toward meaningful and lasting change. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. I strive to help individuals develop the insight, skills, and confidence needed to overcome anything. The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and begin building a strong therapeutic relationship. We will review confidentiality, discuss your concerns, explore what has brought you to counseling, and identify your goals for treatment. Together, we will develop an individualized plan that reflects your values, strengths, and desires Working with adolescents, families, couples, veterans, and active-duty military has provided me with extensive experience treating trauma and trauma-related concerns, as well as anxiety, depression, crisis intervention, and adjustment difficulties.
I'm a licensed professional counselor associate (LPC associate) and a graduate of Texas A&M University–Central Texas. My experience spans a continuum of care, from inpatient treatment to intensive outpatient and outpatient settings, including a year-long internship at an inpatient hospital. I have also facilitated violence prevention groups and worked with court-mandated individuals. My approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). While I do not currently specialize in one specific area, I'm committed to continually expanding my knowledge across a broad range of mental health concerns and client populations.
My approach to counseling is grounded in the belief that you have the power and the reins in your own life. I see my role as a sounding board, guide, and supportive partner. Stress management is an important part of my approach. I also believe counseling should consider the whole person—work, relationships, children, and pets all influence wellbeing.
I recognize choosing to begin counseling is a meaningful decision, and I don't take the time you share with me for granted. One of the quotes I've carried with me is, "Be the leader you wish you had." That idea reflects how I strive to show up—with honesty, compassion, respect, and genuine care. If you feel ready, I invite you to schedule an appointment.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Teen counseling helps young individuals better understand and manage the challenges that affect their mental health. Common challenges amongst teens include anxiety, depression, ADHD, and problematic relationships with food.
Teen counseling works by using multiple techniques, tailored to fit the teen’s unique needs — based on their age group, their challenges, and the severity of their challenges. It might involve cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, art therapy, and others for varying ages. In any case, Thriveworks teen therapists in Pasadena have the expertise and experience to help young individuals at their level.
Signs that teens might need Teen counseling can be very subjective, as they are experiencing many changes and can have intense reactions to them. As parents, you know your child best and are best equipped to judge whether certain reactions are standard behaviors for your teen or whether they might be hinting at a larger problem. Even so, there are a few common signs and events that often point to a need for therapy, such as experiencing divorce or loss, grief, consistent low moods, teens distancing themselves and becoming isolated, losing interest in hobbies, excessive anger or irritability, substance use issues, and suicidal ideation, among others.
Teen counseling providers at Thriveworks in Pasadena, TX offer both in person and online therapy by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of teen counseling depends on your teen’s needs as well as the goals that you and their therapist might have for them. Generally, teen counseling sessions will last for several months.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
Includes reducing symptoms with medication & management
