I’m Dewanna Lewis, a Licensed Professional Counselor and founder of Therapy With Dewanna, dedicated to supporting young adults as they navigate one of life’s most transformative seasons. College brings growth, independence, and opportunity — but it can also come with stress, identity exploration, academic pressure, and major life transitions. My approach focuses on helping students build emotional resilience, strengthen self-awareness, and develop practical tools that support both personal and academic success. I’m honored to partner with Thriving Camp to help students feel grounded, confident, and equipped to thrive far beyond their college years.

Hello! I am a licensed clinical social worker who practiced in a college counseling setting for over 4 years and I have 15 years of counseling experience total. I continue to work with college students in my private practice and I enjoy working with people to better manage anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, OCD, grief, life transitions, relationship, concerns, and general stress. My practice is body positive and LGBTQ+, immigrant, and international student supportive and affirming. I aim to provide a safe and non-judgmental space for processing fears, thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. I use various types of therapy, including ACT, CBT, DBT skills, somatic therapy, schema therapy, ERPT, narrative therapy, and person centered therapy, but I tailor sessions to what works best for you. I also welcome your feedback in the process. I strongly encourage coming to therapy in the way that you are most comfortable - meaning, swear if you feel the need, don't apologize for eating in sessions if you are hungry, show up in your pajamas - whatever. As long as you are safe and comfortable and you are able to talk privately, I support it. I offer a free 15 minute consultation call to see if we are a good fit, because having a therapist you trust and match with is paramount. I offer virtual telehealth sessions on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. I offer in person sessions in Kingwood, Texas on Wednesdays. Please feel free to reach out to me if you'd like to connect and I wish you the best in your therapist search!

I’m a therapist who values honesty, reflection, and meaningful change. I go beyond surface-level work, helping you understand the patterns, beliefs, and experiences that shape how you show up in your life. My approach is supportive yet direct. I’ll help you identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck—like perfectionism, people-pleasing, or self-criticism—while creating a space where you feel respected and not judged.

You don't have to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Maybe your mind never seems to slow down, you second-guess every decision, or you've been carrying stress for so long that it feels normal. A medical diagnosis, major life transition, or unexpected change may have left you feeling like you don't recognize yourself anymore. I work with adults and older teens (17+) who want to better understand themselves, manage anxiety, and build a life that feels more balanced, confident, and authentic. As a transplant and medical social worker, I've supported people through chronic illness, grief, uncertainty, and major life changes. That experience shapes my approach with compassion, curiosity, and an understanding of how emotional and physical health are deeply connected. Therapy is a collaborative process where we'll explore what's keeping you stuck while building practical tools you can use in everyday life. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel understood, challenged, and empowered to make meaningful change. In our first session, we’ll focus on what brought you in and what life has been feeling like recently. There’s no pressure to have everything clearly defined...we’ll talk through it together! We’ll explore your current concerns, relevant history, and what you hope will feel different moving forward. I’ll also answer any questions you have about therapy and what working together would look like. By the end of the session, you should leave with a clearer sense of direction and whether this feels like the right fit.

I have experience working with adolescents and adults in multiple settings facing various complex mental health issues, including OCD, depression, anxiety, ADHD and mood disorders.

I bring 18 years of experience in education and mental health, and I help students make sense of their emotions, break out of unhelpful thought patterns, and build practical tools for everyday life. We’ll also work on real-life skills like time management, staying organized, and following through—so things feel more manageable. I work with teens and adults, including those who are neurodivergent, and I offer a supportive, judgment-free space.

I have over 20 years experience working with young adults navigating life transitions. I have a passion for supporting them through the challenges of adulting. Many of my clients are learning how to balance school, work, friendships, and relationships. This is common and can be more difficult if you have a history of trauma and are trying to learn who you are in this world. I have also worked with many non-traditional students providing support for the challenges of making a mid-life career change. Traditional or non-traditional student, I would love support you in reaching your goals and learning the skills needed to navigate life!

Hi, I'm Henry. Through WellQor, I provide convenient online therapy that allows students to access support from wherever they are. WellQor also accepts most major insurance plans, helping make quality mental health care more accessible. Many of my clients are juggling academic pressures, relationships, family expectations, and uncertainty about the future while trying to figure out who they are and where they want to go. I especially enjoy helping students who feel stuck in cycles of worry, self-doubt, or overthinking. Together, we focus on practical skills that can be used both in therapy and everyday life to help manage anxiety, build confidence, and navigate challenges more effectively. I also work well with individuals who are processing grief, trauma, or significant life changes and are looking for support as they move forward. My clients are often motivated to grow but may not know where to start. They value having a therapist who is genuine, attentive, and willing to work alongside them. Whether you're struggling with a specific issue or simply looking for a space to better understand yourself, I strive to help you gain insight, develop new tools, and create meaningful change in your life.

As a licensed clinical psychologist with more than 20 years of experience, I have worked with individuals from many different backgrounds and life stages, helping them navigate challenges related to stress, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and personal growth. Throughout my career, I've worked in a variety of settings, including military and veteran healthcare, behavioral health programs, and private practice, which has given me a broad perspective on the many ways people experience and respond to life's challenges. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and rooted in evidence-based care. I believe therapy should be a space where you feel comfortable exploring your experiences, gaining new perspectives, and developing skills that support your well-being both now and in the future. Whether you're facing a specific challenge or simply looking for support during a period of growth and change, I strive to create an environment where you feel heard, respected, and empowered.

Through WellQor, I provide online therapy for college students and young adults, and WellQor accepts most major insurance plans to help make care more accessible. My approach starts with understanding your story rather than judging your symptoms. I believe that our experiences shape how we see ourselves, connect with others, and navigate the world, and that healing often begins when we take the time to understand those connections. One thing I have learned through my work is that people are often much harder on themselves than they would ever be on someone else. Many students come to therapy feeling frustrated by their emotions, relationships, or reactions to stress. They wonder why they keep repeating certain patterns, why they struggle to move on from difficult experiences, or why they don't seem to be coping as well as everyone around them appears to be. I work with students facing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, and everyday life stress. Together, we can explore what's beneath the surface, strengthen coping skills, and create space for growth and healing. My goal is to help you build a greater sense of self-understanding, confidence, and trust in your ability to move through life's challenges.

Hi! I'm Lauren Whitehead, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I work with people from all walks of life on anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship struggles, and big life changes like starting college or figuring out what comes next. These seasons are hard, but they can also be real chances to grow, and therapy can help you get there. My favorite part of this work is watching clients find strength they didn't know they had. I believe small changes add up. One positive thought in the morning can shift your whole day. In our sessions we'll build practical tools like mindfulness and healthy coping skills, and practice treating yourself with more compassion. You can count on me to listen, support you, and keep our space safe and free of judgment. You don't need to know exactly what you want to work on. Showing up for yourself is the first step. Find a spot on my calendar and let's get started! Lauren Whitehead, LCSW

Many of the people I work with seem to have spent a fair amount of time wondering if they are somehow doing "being a person" incorrectly. The overthinkers. The deep feelers. The people who have always felt a little different. A little out of step. Or like everyone else received instructions they themselves somehow missed. Some are navigating trauma, anxiety, life transitions, or questions about who they are and how they want to move through the world. Many have spent a long time trying to make sense of things on their own. Therapy is not a place where you need to arrive polished, certain, or put together. It is a place where curiosity is welcome, questions are welcome, and most importantly, you are welcome. P.S. Consider this your official welcome to the Human Being Club. Your unpolished, un-edited pages are honored here.

Hi there, I'm Rachel, a clinical therapist with over 17 years of experience working with all kinds of people. I help clients with a wide range of challenges, and I specialize in anxiety, mood disorders, and relationship issues. When you come to me, I want you to feel safe and supported. I put a lot of care into building trust and creating a space where you can share what you need without shame or fear. I love offering support, education, and real tools, and there's nothing better than watching a client grow and make positive changes. Being a therapist has taught me that we can't always control what happens around us, but we can control how we respond, and we can truly improve our lives by managing our thoughts, emotions, and relationships. However alone you might feel, there are people ready to support you. So please, come talk to me! When I'm not with clients, I love to travel, shop, and garden. I have a hydro garden and enjoy thrift shopping for hidden treasures. Doing what you love is great self care! Rachel Morris, LPC-S
