Virtual therapy · Texas & Ohio · Insurance accepted

The work is hard. Getting help shouldn't be.

Virtual therapy for individuals, couples, and teens across Texas and Ohio. Specializing in care for working professionals, the LGBTQ+ community, and those who’ve had a hard time finding a therapist who truly fits.

Does any of this sound familiar?

🩵 You’re exhausted, but admitting it out loud feels like giving up.
🩵 You replay conversations at 2am wondering if you said something wrong.
🩵 You’ve been “fine” for so long that no one would believe how much you’re carrying.
🩵 You keep pushing through, but the anxiety, the heaviness, the disconnection isn’t going away on it’s own.

You don’t need to be in crisis to deserve support. And you shouldn’t have to earn it by hitting a wall first.

WHO WE WORK WITH

You've been managing.
That's not the same as okay.

High-functioning doesn’t mean okay. It usually just means you’ve gotten very good at not letting it show.

WHO WE ARE

A therapist who gets your life shouldn't be this hard to find.

Too many people spend their first few sessions explaining their world before the actual work can start. Explaining what it’s like to be the only one in the room. Explaining their relationship structure. Explaining why their family dynamics are complicated in ways a standard framework doesn’t account for.

We built this practice around the people most therapy wasn’t built for.

That means therapists who don’t need you to explain yourself before the work can start. Who already understand the room you’re describing. Every therapist here was chosen not just for their credentials, but for who they are and who they understand.

OUR THERAPISTS

Real people.
Real credentials.

Every therapist at TES is licensed, supervised, and here because they’re good at this work.
