About
As a veteran, I offer a deeply personal understanding that helps me create a safe, supportive space, fostering connection and understanding.
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.

My goal is to help you reconnect with your strengths, gain clarity, and build a meaningful life. My approach is collaborative and empowering, grounded in the belief that you are the expert of your story. Together, we'll uncover what's holding you back and create a path toward healing and growth.
I enjoy hiking, biking, fencing, and studying literature and poetry. My commitment to service includes community volunteering and active parish involvement. Training for the 1996 Olympic fencing trials shaped my discipline and values. I've also worked as a nanny and trained abroad with the Red Cross, deepening my sense of care and service.

Professional counseling can help depressed people take control of their symptoms and get back on track to achieving their goals. Thriveworks’ mental health providers treat your mood experience as unique, instead of using a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy.

This comprehensive therapeutic assessment may not take place all at once, especially when clients are in acute distress, but it’s important for your provider to gather as much information as possible over time.

Providers utilize a number of evidence-based treatment options to help their clients live happier, healthier lives. Recovery might include weekly sessions with a therapist and/or monthly follow-up sessions with a psychiatrist as needed.
