LPC Associate, Supervised by Carissa Cano, LPC-S
You are unique, and your therapy experience should be too. I customize treatment plans based on your needs, capacities, and goals. My approach is to use evidence-based therapeutic methods to allow you to take control of your story. I offer compassionate, inclusive, and affirming therapy for individuals and relationships. I have a special interest in nontraditional relationship styles such as polyamory, kink, ethical non-monogamy, etc.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you. Click on my photo to contact me for a 15-minute consultation.

moreSarah Unertl
LPC Associate, Supervised by Carissa Cano, LPC-S
Hello, I’m Sarah Unertl. My passion lies in supporting you in reaching your goals and enhancing your life in meaningful ways. With over 10 years of experience as a school counselor, I specialize in helping parents navigate ADHD management for themselves and their children, along with other challenges that arise when raising school-aged kids. I believe in a person-centered approach to therapy, where building a trusting, collaborative relationship with individuals and couples is paramount.
I practice unconditional positive regard and aim to approach every session with empathy, creating a safe environment for you to explore your thoughts and feelings. This strong foundation is crucial for fostering growth and positive change.
We are all beautifully complex beings, shaped by various aspects of our identities—such as our work, race, gender, sexuality, and the roles we play as parents, spouses, and children of aging parents. Unfortunately, many clinicians shy away from discussing sexuality. It is surprising how often human sexuality is excluded from educational training for counselors, potentially leading to challenges when navigating these sensitive topics. As a result, discussions may be swayed by conservative or mainstream views rather than grounded in evidence-based understanding.
moreAsia Olson
LPC Associate, supervised by Carissa Cano, LPC-S
I specialize in addiction and problematic substance use. Has using substances to cope with stress become a source of suffering? Has substance use caused you to feel ashamed, anxious, and depressed? Are you experiencing conflict in your relationships? Are you facing legal consequences? Is substance use preventing you from reaching your full potential? Are you looking for an empathic counselor who will meet you where you are without judgment?
Contact me to schedule a FREE 15-minute consultation to determine if my approach resonates with you.
Every person moves through life with a unique mind, body, and soul. Together, we will explore your history, strengths, challenges, relationships, values, and goals to determine the best course of action. Whether you intend to walk a path of complete sobriety or one of moderation, I will listen and seek to understand what matters most to you.
As Carl Jung once said, "The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are." I see addiction as an invitation to re-consider your life's journey, to know yourself on a deeper level, and to align with "who you truly are." You are the author of your life. I simply offer another set of eyes and ears to help you find and follow your inner compass.
moreBeth Birdwell
LPC Associate, supervised by Carissa Cano, LPC-S
I believe the most therapeutic experiences involve a mix of straightforwardness, empathy, and empowerment. If you’re seeking therapy, you need more than validation—that’s what friends are for. Therapy is for doing the hard work of processing, understanding, and growth. I aim to be solution-focused; I will be curious, challenging, and supportive. I like to use creative interventions to help you reach your goals. Areas of interest and experience for me include, but aren't limited to, issues from: abuse, family of origin, grief (esp. after suicide loss), trauma, anxiety, dissociative issues, addiction, depression, relationships, & transitions. I also love working with those who have a spiritual practice and want to incorporate it into their therapy.
I blend many modalities, including trauma-informed, client-centered therapy, CBT, DBT, and intuitive thinking/mindfulness. Currently, I see individuals 16 and older.
Areas of experience and interest for me include, but are not limited to, issues stemming from:
Partner or childhood abuse
Family of origin
Grief (esp. after suicide loss)
Trauma
Anxiety
Dissociative issues
Addiction
Depression
moreYsabel Hinojosa (not accepting new clients until June '25)
LPC Associate, supervised by Carissa Cano, LPC-S
Hello! I’m Ysabel Hinojosa. I have my Bachelors in Psychology with a minor in Addiction Studies from the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, and a Masters in Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness from New York University.
Individual Therapy: I welcome a variety of concerns, but not limited to: relationship issues (peer/romantic/familial), anxiety, life transitions, self-esteem, spirituality, pregnancy, attachment, kink/diverse sexuality and trauma.
Couples Therapy: I dedicate a part of my practice to dealing with relational conflict. As a neutral third party and ally, I can help you explore and expand perspectives, learn skills for productive conversations, and work through gridlocked conflict more effectively and efficiently.
In therapy you'll find that my style is warm, empathic, compassionate and empowering. I take an eclectic starting point, with a relational approach, aspects of mindfulness, family systems, IFS and DBT. Ultimately, I believe therapy is unique to each person and an individually tailored plan should be made for each person's needs. Whether looking for individual or couples therapy, our collaborative space will be used to deepen understanding of your desires, needs and inner parts of yourself.
moreCorey Carlyon

Hi, my name is Corey Carlyon and I graduated with a Masters in Counseling from West Texas A&M Univsersity in 2022.

I practice with a holistic and person-centered approach. My goal is to provide a space for clients to be their authenic and true selves, no masks.

moreElise Boutin
LPC Associate, supervised by Carissa Cano, LPC-S
Hi there! I received my Bachelors in Communication Sciences and Disorders: Speech Language Pathology in 2015 and I earned my Masters in Counseling from a CACREP accredited Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at St. Edward’s University in 2021.
I work with individuals aged 15 and up and specialize in post-stroke depression, caregiver fatigue, trauma, grief, self-esteem, and anxiety.
I approach therapy as a collaborative process. The time we spend together is for you, and I want to make sure that you are getting what you need out of it. I encourage clients to push back if we are hitting on something that you are not ready for or if we are going in a direction that feels uncomfortable for you. I might have education and experience in counseling, but no one knows you better than you.

I am a lifelong student of both medicine and psychology. I have degree specialties in applied behavior analysis, substance abuse, and disaster and crisis response as well as almost 20 years in EMS as a Paramedic responding to 911 incidents.
