Christi Brooks, LPC-Associate
Supervised by April West, MA, LPC-S and Dr. Nidal Pascoe, PsyD, LPC-S, NCC
Life can feel heavy sometimes. Whether you're navigating a major transition, carrying the weight of past experiences, or simply feeling stuck, you're not alone—and you don't have to figure it out all by yourself.
Christi Brooks is a counselor who works with kids, teens, and adults in all stages of life. She creates a supportive space where you can show up just as you are, no mask required. Together, you’ll explore what’s going on beneath the surface and move toward healing, growth, and clarity—at your pace, and in your way.
She specializes in Internal Family Systems (IFS) parts work and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), two powerful approaches that help you understand yourself more deeply, heal from trauma, and create meaningful change from the inside out.
She works with clients who are dealing with trauma, painful life experiences, grief and loss, anxiety and stress, life transitions (marriage, parenthood, empty nest, divorce, etc.), personal growth and self-discovery, and those who just need a little extra support.
In-person and virtual sessions are available, giving you the flexibility to choose what works best for your life and comfort level.
As someone with an active Christian faith, she is also here for clients who want to integrate spirituality into their counseling experience—or process through wounds related to church or religious communities. If that’s part of your story, know this is a safe place to explore it without judgment.
Whatever brings you here, you are welcome. Your story matters. Let’s take the next step together.
Rebecca Morales, MA, LPC-A
Supervised by Dr. Jude Austin, PhD, LPC-S, LMFT-S
There are seasons in life when we find ourselves carrying more than we were meant to hold alone—anxiety that lingers beneath the surface, relationships that feel strained, transitions that leave us untethered, or a quiet sense that somewhere along the way we drifted from ourselves. My work as a counselor is rooted in helping clients slow down, reconnect, and find their way back to balance and authenticity.
I believe healing begins within the safety of a genuine relationship. My presence in the counseling room is warm, personable, and grounded. I strive to create a space where you feel seen—not rushed, not judged, and not expected to arrive with all the answers. I value showing up as a real person beside you, offering support, curiosity, and compassionate guidance as we navigate your story together.
My approach is primarily rooted in Person-Centered and Gestalt therapy. I believe each person already carries within them an innate capacity for growth, healing, and change. Together, we gently explore patterns, deepen awareness, and cultivate a stronger connection to your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and sense of self. I see counseling not as fixing what is broken, but as creating space to become more fully who you are.
I work with adult individuals and couples experiencing anxiety, depression, relational challenges, stress, life transitions, and struggles with self-esteem. I especially enjoy working with young adults as they navigate seasons of change, identity, relationships, and the often uncertain journey of discovering who they are and who they want to become.
My hope is that our work together becomes a place where you can set down what feels heavy, reconnect with what matters most, and move toward a life that feels more grounded, authentic, and fully your own.
Debby Morris, LPC-A, NCC, MA
Supervised by Dr. Nidal Pascoe, PsyD, LPC-S, NCC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate serving Central Texas,
offering both in-person and telehealth counseling for individuals ages 12 and
up, couples, and families. I specialize in helping clients manage and find relief
from anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, mood and personality disorders, as
well as struggles related to relationships, identity, and self-worth.
I also specialize in college and career counseling for adults, college students,
and high school students, with particular experience supporting gifted and
talented individuals. I help clients navigate academic pressure, perfectionism,
motivation challenges, life transitions, career direction, identity development,
and achieving balance while pursuing personal and professional goals.
I believe healing and growth happen when individuals feel seen, supported,
and empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives. Using a holistic
and evidence-based approach, I help clients identify thought patterns,
behaviors, and relational dynamics that may no longer be serving them while
building healthier coping skills, emotional resilience, and self-awareness.
A strong focus of my work includes helping clients establish healthy
boundaries—both internally and externally—to improve relationships,
communication, confidence, and overall emotional wellness. I also provide
divorce care, grief care, and support through difficult life transitions, offering a
compassionate space for healing, clarity, and growth.
My goal is to help clients create lasting change, strengthen their sense of self,
and move toward a more balanced, fulfilling, and emotionally healthy life.
