Being a teen or young adult can be exhausting. Just because you’re young, it doesn’t mean you don’t have real struggles, like loneliness, anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, or even hopelessness about what’s next in your life. If you’re navigating any of these challenges or feel overwhelmed by the transition into adulthood, I’ve got your back. I’m here to actually listen to you and understand what you’re going through, from the major life events – both good and bad – to the “small” stuf...

College can be amazing—and brutal. I remember when I was in college: papers, jobs, family stuff, breakups… and how stress can wake up old hurts. I’m Brandon Rodriguez, LCMHC (EMDR-certified), and I help students who feel stuck by trauma, panic, bad memories, or constant worry. How EMDR helps: we identify the moments your brain keeps replaying (accidents, losses, bullying, assaults, chaotic homes, medical scares). With simple bilateral techniques—like brief sets of eye movements—we help your n...

Hi there—I’m Odira, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over a decade of experience guiding students and young adults through life’s twists and turns. I understand how hard it can be to fit therapy into a busy schedule, so I offer sessions only in the evenings and on weekends, whether we meet in person in Abilene, TX, or connect virtually across Texas and Colorado.
