I am a licensed psychologist in the state of Texas with over seven years of clinical experience. I've worked with children, adolescents, adults, veterans, older adults, college students, couples, and parents. I entered psychology due to a passion for seeing people gain a deeper understanding of and empathy for themselves and those they love. I’d love the chance to partner with you in moving your relationships towards flourishing. Whether it’s your relationship with yourself or a significant other, friend, child, or parent, I’m here to help. I believe that all individuals exist within the context of their most important relationships. So no matter what concern might bring people to therapy, exploring one’s thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and experiences in relationships will be critical to growth and thriving. I use evidence-based therapies to help you take a breath, learn to listen (to yourself and others), identify what you most value and why, and take steps to align your life and behavior with those values. While therapy can be intimidating, uncomfortable, and uncertain at times, I look forward to accompanying you in the process. I am a therapist at Octave, a behavioral health practice creating a new standard for mental health care that’s both high-quality and accessible. To learn more about my availability, please reach out to our Client Experience team by emailing or calling.

I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space for adults experiencing anxiety and depressive disorders related to unsuccessful relationships.

My approach to therapy is based on mindfulness and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which allows for deeper healing than traditional talk therapy. Clients come to me looking for someone who “gets” what happened to them on a deeper level because therapy should be a place where you feel safe and validated.

Are you terrified of judgment in therapy because of a ""non-traditional"" lifestyle, relationship, or job? Are you exhausted by the demands of a system that never seems to give you a break? Are you experiencing feelings of guilt and shame of starting this journey because growing up your concerns were minimized or taking care of yourself was viewed as selfish? I am a bicultural, anti-racist, social justice-oriented, Latina therapist with a focus on supporting folx in navigating the stress and trauma experienced in a system that was not created for us. I am here to help you unpack the complex emotions that arise when living in an identity that's ""othered"".

I use a mix of evidence-based therapy modalities (while being mindful of cultural factors) including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. You have the power to decide what tools you'd like to use and practice!

You are 20 and you have already cried in three different bathrooms this semester. The friend group from freshman year quietly disappeared. The situationship is in its eighth round of "we are figuring it out." The professor who said your paper was "interesting" in a tone that meant something else has been living in your head for two weeks. You are tired in a way that sleep does not fix. I work with college aged women and young adults who are doing everything they were told to do and somehow feel further from themselves than they have ever been. The girls who got into college on perfectionism and are now watching that same perfectionism eat them alive. The ones who left a religious or controlling home and are realizing, in real time, what it actually cost them. The ones whose body image got worse, not better, when they got here. The ones who keep ending up in the same kind of relationship with a different person and cannot figure out why. The ones who looked around the dining hall and realized everyone else seems to have a friend group already and felt something crack a little. I do EMDR for trauma, which is the work I love most. It is especially useful when something specific from your past keeps showing up uninvited in your present. The breakup that should not still hurt this much. The thing that happened in high school you have never really told anyone. The childhood version of you who learned to make herself small and is still doing it. We can also just talk. My process is flexible and so am I. Some sessions are heavy. Some sessions you tell me about your week and we laugh. Both are doing real work. I am licensed in Oklahoma, Texas, and Massachusetts. If you are at school in one and home for the summer in another, we can keep going without starting over with someone new.

My name is Amy Hollis, I am an LCSW in the Fort Worth area. I graduated from Texas Christian University and Brite Divinity School in 2019 where I received a dual degree LMSW and M.Div. respectively. In 2025 I was able to obtain my LCSW and I now work full time as a private practice counselor and adjunct professor at Texas Wesleyan University! My biggest achievement has been the ability to work with amazing clients in all times of life, and walk with them through transitions that seem scary and new. As part of the BIPOC and LGBT+ communities I have a heart for those who find themselves at the margins and truly enjoy being a safe space for all people to tell their stories. I do hope to hear from you soon and get a chance to chat!

Using a trauma-informed and psychodynamic approach, we explore how your past experiences shape your present, helping you gain the insight needed to move forward with confidence. I blend professional expertise with a personal understanding of life’s major transitions. I reject the one size fits all checklist in favor of strategies tailored to your unique goals and experiences. Whether we are addressing family dynamics or the intense reality of becoming a new parent, our sessions are a space for you to be seen and supported without the fluff of You don't have to have it figured out to start.

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 nervous system reprocess those memories so they feel farther away and less intense. You don’t have to give every detail, and you stay in control the whole time. Most students say the memory is still there, but it doesn’t run the show anymore. Sessions are calm and practical. Each week you leave with do-now tools for sleep, panic, and focus; when you’re ready, we use EMDR to reduce the grip of past experiences. Telehealth statewide, evenings available, new clients within ~7 days. Medicaid and United/Optum and many more insurances accepted; sliding scale offered as well. You set the pace—I’ll guide the process. You are worth it, and I am listening.

Together, we’ll work on: • Strengthening your communication skills. • Developing practical coping strategies for everyday life. • Building resilience and self-awareness. • Creating lasting change that actually aligns with your personal goals and values.

My personal mission is to change the world one person at a time, and I’d love to see if you’re that person today.
