Presley Black, LPC-Associate, she/her/hers
Hi! I'm Presley. I love working with women's issues. If you're struggling with body image, grief from something unresolved in the past, or just generally feel anxious, I'm here to help.
Of course, helping doesn't mean fixing. You don't need anyone to fix you. You just need someone to help give you some tools. If you are someone ready to heal and wanting concrete things you can take away from sessions to practice in between, I'd love to get you feeling better.
Jennifer Carley, LMSW, she/her/hers
Hi! I'm Jen. If you're in the middle of a transition and need some support, I would be honored to help.
I love working with people, especially women, who are going through a change (think college, new moms, empty nesters, retirement, etc...) and want to be intentional about making the change a positive one.
If you're ready to let go of the past and create a future that is more authentic to you, I'd love to see if we are a good fit!
Shauna Diawaku, LPC, she/her/hers
Hi! I'm Shauna. I love helping clients to clarify and then create the changes in their lives that matter.
As a black woman, I have a special passion to bring healing to other people of color, especially when it comes to sexual trauma. And if it makes sense for the client, I enjoy integrating spirituality into the treatment process.
I look forward to meeting you!
Oliver Papa, LPC-Associate, he/his/him
Hi! I'm Oliver. My clients love my direct, collaborative approach. I tend to ask lots of questions that are intended to help you understand yourself better. Things like, What does this mean that that happened? What do you want your life to be about? How do you want to use your energy?
My job is to help you find your purpose. Are you ready to get started?
Taylor Kall, LMSW, she/her/hers
Hi! I'm Taylor. I help adults to heal sexual trauma, navigate sexual identity questions, and battle chronic pain and illness. As a Sensorimotor-trained therapist, I help clients to understand how to tap into the hidden healing powers of their bodies.
Life's too short to live in pain. I can't wait for the day when you are able to see yourself as I see you...brave enough to be here searching for a therapist. Let's get started.
Sophie Chudleigh, LCSW, she/her/hers
Hi! I'm Sophie. I love working with tweens and teens, new moms, and couples. Clients tell me I am warm and bring an intentionality to treatment that makes them feel truly seen and heard.
If you're ready for a change, I'm here to help. You've already taken the hardest step in getting started. Once we get an appointment scheduled, I'll be there to offer a hand.
Maegan Woytek, LPC, EMDR, she/her/hers
Hi! I'm Maegan. As a trauma therapist for tweens, teens, and adults, as well as Intern Supervisor here at HFTJ, I help my clients overcome the past and manage anxiety stress.
You may be afraid to tell your story or feeling like what happened wasn't that big of a deal, but something has brought you here. I'd love to help you take the next step and move towards the life you deserve.
Katy Harmon, LCSW, EMDR, she/her/hers
Hi! I'm Katy. When I'm not managing the Hope For The Journey team as Clinical Director or facilitating trainings like our Trauma Sensitivity Training for Physical Therapists and other body workers, I help older teens and adults, especially men and neurodiverse folks.
We work to manage stress, deal with ADHD/Autism issues, and manage anger and behavioral outbursts. Have you have felt overwhelmed with your feelings? If they harm your life or relationships, counseling can help you regain control.
You deserve stability and a life that feels good. I believe in talking straight with my clients and using tools that work. If you're ready to get started, let's do this.
Heather Hammock, LMFT, EFT, EMDR, she/her/hers
Hi! I'm Heather. As a couples/family therapist and HFTJ Team Lead, I help clients one-on-one or together as a couple or family unit. Together, we work to create relationships built on trust and intimacy. If you have noticed that the past keeps creeping into your present relationships, you do not have to continue old patterns.
You deserve to feel loved and valued. You deserve to have a sex life that excites you AND makes you feel safe, nurtured, and respected. I help my clients break free of old attachment and relationship patterns. Are you ready to end the conflict and feel closer to those you love?
Rochelle Webber, MMFT, LMFT, EMDR, she/her/hers
Hi! I'm Rochelle. I take a direct, transparent, and super supportive approach to therapy. Why? Because you deserve to feel better fast! I love seeing my clients build confidence in themselves and feel renewed.
As an experienced EMDR and substance abuse-trained therapist & Clinical Director at HFTJ, my goal is to help you feel stronger. By doing so, you can be more in control of your life. Plus, I like to do it with a little sarcastic humor along the way. ;-)
Traci W. Pirri, LCSW-S, EMDR-Approved Consultant, she/her/hers
Hi! I'm Traci, owner, and Executive Director of Hope For The Journey. I started HFTJ with the vision of bringing together the strengths of excellent clinicians, strong community partners, and brave survivors. Together, we work to empower people to feel, heal and thrive in Texas. I am honored to have specialized in sexual abuse and trauma recovery for the last 20 years. I'm humbled to now be sharing my experience with my fantastic team and the broader community.
You matter to us. We believe in your ability to not just heal but thrive. If you're ready to get started, I'd love to help make the process simple and straightforward.
Nia Berry, she/her/hers
Have Questions?
Making sure that you have the RIGHT FIT with your therapist is super important. Why? Because research shows that feeling comfortable and confident in your clinician is a one of the biggest indicators of success in counseling.
Many of our clients want to avoid launching into the details of their story or investing financially until they feel confident in their choice. Our Client Care Coordinator is a matchmaking genius, but, just like with dating, sometimes what's good on paper doesn't translate into real life.
That's why we offer a 30-minute consult with the therapist of your choice for only $15. It's an opportunity for you to meet, get a sense of how you connect, and work through any hesitations that are holding you back.
At the conclusion of that 30 minutes, you'll be better able to decide how you want to move forward.
