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'm the owner and sole psychologist at my practice, Empower Therapy ATX.

I love helping students through what can be challenging years of growth, identity change, and coming of age into adulthood.

I support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship challenges, emotional overwhelm, and major life transitions.

My therapeutic approach is eclectic and collaborative—I draw from attachment-based, person-centered, solution-focused, and cognitive-behavioral therapies to meet you where you are and help you move toward meaningful change. I’m also trained in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, a powerful modality that can support healing for those dealing with treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, and trauma. I offer KAP as part of a holistic treatment plan, and work closely with clients to process and integrate insights from their experience into ongoing therapy. Therapy with me is about building insight, reconnecting with your inner resources, and finding clarity in the midst of uncertainty. You’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself.

Hi there! We are an outpatient practice offering in-person and virtual appointments. We specialize in working with those navigating the tricky terrain of growing up—dealing with friendship shifts, school pressure, big emotions, and the journey of self-discovery. Many of the clients who find us describe themselves as high-performing yet often struggling with things such as: suspected or diagnosed ADHD, chronic anxiety, burnout, and who are seeking balance amidst life's demands. Their work often centers on identity exploration, navigating interpersonal relationships, building self-esteem, developing a more compassionate relationship with their bodies and food, and adapting to life transitions. Together, we explore how anxiety shows up, how boundaries can feel empowering, and what it looks like to build relationships (with yourself and others) that feel safe, reciprocal, and genuine. Wherever you are in your life journey, we are here to come along side you and support you in the next steps. We truly believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship. We encourage you to reach out for a consultation call to determine how we can best support you and answer any questions you might have about the therapy process.

Hi, I'm Pak P., LMFT. In my practice, I provide therapy for individuals and couples navigating stress, relationships, and emotional challenges, with a specialized focus on men’s mental health, high-performing professionals, and culturally informed care. For couples, whether you're dating, engaged, or already married, I focus on building support and improving communication. My goal is to identify areas of growth for you as a couple working collaboratively toward positive change. The therapy journey is about connecting with yourself, gaining the confidence to navigate life's changes, and making positive steps toward the life you desire. In my therapeutic approach, I create a unique treatment plan just for you based on the foundations of psychodynamic theory and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). This creates a comprehensive and effective therapeutic experience designed for you. Psychodynamic theory helps us to explore your unconscious processes, childhood experiences, and the impact they have on your present behaviors and emotions. It provides a rich understanding of the underlying dynamics that influence your thoughts and actions. EFT focuses on the emotional bonds within relationships, emphasizing the importance of creating secure connections and emotional responsiveness. In both individual and couples therapy, psychodynamic theory allows you to better understand the roots of deep-seated patterns. This can help you recognize and address unresolved issues that may be influencing your current struggles. For example, if you are grappling with recurrent relationship difficulties, psychodynamic exploration can help you uncover patterns established in childhood that affect your perception of intimacy and closeness. It’s pretty powerful! For couples counseling, EFT focuses on the emotional dynamics between you and your partner. It helps you identify and reshape negative patterns of interaction. For instance, if you are stuck in a cycle of blame and withdrawal you might learn to express vulnerable emotions and needs breaking the continuous cycle. By integrating psychodynamic theory and EFT, therapy becomes a dynamic and holistic journey. This can help you break free from unhealthy patterns and enter into a new stage of life. Seeking assistance is a sign of courage and a willingness to deal with life’s many changes. I look forward to providing you with the support you need in this journey

I'm a licensed therapist who works with first-generation college students, children of immigrants, and culturally diverse young adults navigating the ups and downs of college life and early adulthood. As an immigrant myself, I truly get it—the push and pull between cultures, carrying your family's dreams on your shoulders, feeling proud of your background while also wanting to find your own way, and all the complicated feelings that come with it. Whether you're dealing with family expectations, figuring out your identity, managing academic stress, or just trying to adjust to everything that college throws at you, I bring both personal understanding and professional experience to our conversations. This is a warm, judgment-free space where you can talk about what's really going on, recognize the strengths you already have, and learn practical ways to handle whatever challenges come up.

When you're carrying the weight of past experiences, current stressors, or emotional pain, it’s easy to feel alone or misunderstood. Sometimes, even one more challenge can be enough to make you pause and wonder if you need support. If you’ve found your way here, you’re already taking a meaningful first step. I provide therapy for teens up to adults who are ready to explore what’s beneath the surface—whether it’s trauma, anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, or simply feeling stuck. Together, we’ll create a space where you feel safe, seen, and supported. You set the pace and the priorities; I offer guidance, tools, and insight to help you move toward healing and connection. My approach is grounded in understanding how the brain, body, and relationships shape our experiences. I work with compassion and curiosity, helping you recognize the strengths and survival patterns you’ve developed—and how they can evolve. Through our work, you can build new ways of coping, deepen self-awareness, and reconnect with what matters most.
