Calien "Cat" Choi

Owner | Clinical Director

M.Ed., Licensed Professional Counselor

Hey, I’m Cat! Therapy can actually be dope as f*ck if you find a therapist you vibe well with. I'm the modern millennial therapist that is known for my authenticity, genuine kindness and no bullsh*t approach. When I am in a session with someone, I can always see the best in them. I think one my favorite things about being a therapist is seeing my clients letting out a deep sigh of relief knowing that they are completely free, cared for and safe from judgement with me.

"People start to heal the moment they feel heard." - Cheryl Richardson

Knowing when to leave is so important. The party. The job. The relationship. We often think we know what makes us happy, but really, we are projecting the societal scripts of what we're told happiness looks like. Sometimes we're so afraid of failure that we avoid making any changes. I'm here to tell you that you will fail your way to success. You're going to make mistakes and thats okay. I know exactly what it takes to finally get yourself into therapy and I'm excited to see the version of you that you become as you are healing from survival mode. That first day in therapy will mark a new beginning for you. This is your healing era.

"Your life is what you choose to see." - Cat

Haley Sammeth

Clinical Team Manager

M.A., Licensed Professional Counselor, C-DBT

Hey, I’m Haley from Ohio! I want you to come to therapy as you are. I believe allowing individuals to be who they are while supporting them through change is important and beneficial to people that strive to grow. I enjoy working with others to help them find the inner strength that I know already exists within them. I truly believe that nothing and no one can ever take our inner strength away from us. Inner strength does not come from what you can do, but from overcoming things you thought you couldn’t. One day you will tell your story of how you overcame what you went through and it will be someone else’s survival guide.

“Empathy and compassion are important for everyone and when received, should be an amazing feeling that makes you a better person.”

I have experience working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I also have experience treating a variety of issues such as, but not limited to, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, substance abuse, grief, and eating disorders. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, dialectical behavior therapy and psychoeducation to help individuals reach their treatment goals.

Nicole Genrich

LPC Associate

Currently not accepting new clients. Ask to join my waitlist!

Hi, I’m Nicole! I bring fresh and contemporary methodologies to the mental health counseling domain, striving to render therapy accessible, interactive, and captivating. My fervor lies in fostering positive transformations in individuals' lives through establishing genuine, purposeful, and empowering therapeutic bonds with her clients. I craft personalize my treatment blueprints, acknowledging that clients shape their own mental landscapes.

Drawing from a trauma-informed care framework, I listen, validate, and comprehend my clients' narratives, while equipping them with vital skills to uphold their mental well-being and heighten their self-awareness. I specialize in aiding individuals of all age groups—children, adolescents, and adults—tackling diverse challenges such as anxiety, depression, insomnia, emotional intelligence, career progression, organizational skills, nurturing healthy relationships, coping mechanisms, substance misuse, social aptitude, mood regulation, and personal development.

I earned my master's degree in clinical mental health counseling from Texas Tech Health Sciences Center. Drawing from my experience in psychiatric outpatient hospitals for adolescents and counseling within public school districts, I implement a comprehensive and holistic treatment strategy. I work closely with children, adolescents, and young adults to address symptoms of anxiety, depression, and insomnia. My therapeutic approach primarily involves existential therapy, complemented by techniques from cognitive, rational-emotive, and dialectical behavior therapies. I believe that this integrated method cultivates a robust, personable, and professional client-therapist relationship, empowering clients to discover meaning in their lives through activities and hobbies aligned with their values.

Fun Facts:

I have two fish tanks with over 8 species of fish.
Interior design is one of my passions. I enjoy going to estate sales, home goods, and furniture stores, to find the newest addition to my home.

Heyyyy, I’m Chloe! I enjoy exploring my inner self and helping others do the same. It's incredibly rewarding to witness someone have a breakthrough in real-time. I really value being accountable and embracing who you are. Perfection is not attainable, but self-love and acceptance is.

“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” -Carl Jung

I’m a big fan of Carl Jung, one of the most well-known psychologists of our time. He was keyed in with the impact our subconscious has on everything we think and do. We can't solve our problems if we don't acknowledge the darkness we might be facing. I hope to help everyone learn to love and accept the parts of themselves that can’t be changed, and to learn how to move through the world authentically with more love for yourself and others.

“The world will ask you who you are, and if you don’t know, the world will tell you.” -Carl Jung

Fun Facts:

I love raves and festivals!
I can almost always be found listening to music. Ask me my song of the week!
My favorite colors are bright colors or pastels. I love to be the color I wish to see in the world.

Veronica Garza

Licensed Professional Counselor, LCDC

Hablo español!

Hey there, I’m Veronica and I’m so happy you’re here! I’m the proud mama of two kiddos and wife to my high school sweetheart (16 years and counting). When I’m not in session, you can usually find me spending time with my family, reading, working out (hot yoga and the like), or out in nature (avoiding bugs). Life can be a little chaotic, but hey, that’s what makes it an adventure, right?

“Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen.” -Brené Brown

Speaking of adventures, congratulations on taking the first step in your healing journey. I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse range of amazing people from young children to teens and adults, facing various life challenges such as life transitions, depression, anxiety, behavioral issues, substance use, grief, trauma, women’s issues, immigration, and unhealthy relationships/domestic violence. I mainly practice from a trauma focused and person-centered lens and pull from cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, psychoeducation, sand-tray, and art/play, to help people achieve their goals. As a therapist, I believe that you have the answers within, and I’m honored to be a part of your process of self-discovery and growth. When you come to session with me, you’ll experience safety and validation that will help restore your self-confidence and most importantly, your hope.

“The willingness to show up changes us. It makes us a little braver each time.” -Brené Brown

Emilie Kestner

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

Howdy, I’m Emilie from a small town named Calallen, located outside of Corpus Christi, Texas! I love supporting clients in a nonjudgmental manner and providing a space for them to explore themselves authentically. I believe that people have everything that they need already to succeed, and that therapy can be a space for them to create their plans and execute them. I like to work collaboratively with clients on their goals while providing feedback and knowledge at times. I enjoy using Dialectical Behavior Therapy as well as adopting a humorous, yet direct approach with folks I am working with in therapy.
