I know starting therapy can be a big step, so I’m really glad you’re here! I can’t wait to meet you and walk with you through whatever you’re facing.

Hello, my name is Rusti Garcia. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate under the supervision of Shawna Munson, M.A., LPC-S, LMFT-S.

​​ Prior to seeking a career in the Mental Health field, I worked as a Bereavement Coordinator for a hospice company. This experience opened my eyes to the need for mental health professionals and my heart to care for people’s mental health. While working there, I followed this passion, went back to school, and obtained a Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology from Walden University in 2021. I continued at Walden University to complete my Master’s in Mental Health Counseling in May 2023.

​ I am passionate about working with people diagnosed with mental illnesses and disorders, people experiencing grief, suffering from addiction or a substance use disorder, and challenging life events. I believe the best therapeutic results come from a genuine client-therapist working relationship based on empathy and transparency in a non-judgmental, safe environment. My philosophy is that you know you best; my job is to walk beside you on your journey to self-development, healing, and growth.

​​ In my spare time, I enjoy being with my family, gardening, and volunteering at House of Mary. I look forward to celebrating your personal victories with you.

Hi! My name is Gabriela Rivas Espinoza. I am licensed through the State of Texas as a Licensed Professional Counselor.

​ I received my Bachelor of Science in Forensic Psychology from Roosevelt University in 2019. After that, I graduated from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology in June 2021 with a Masters in Counseling Psychology.

​ During my master’s, I had the opportunity to support clients from a variety of backgrounds - from college students to the elderly. My work included one-on-one sessions to help clients navigate hardships, deal with isolation, and discrimination and connect them with resources in the community. After receiving my master’s, I moved to Dallas and began my first experience helping children and adolescent groups conquer their traumas, anxiety, and depression by processing and reframing unhelpful thoughts through psychoeducation.

​ My approach to therapy is person-centered. This means I believe the client is the expert and I am here to help facilitate the path to overcoming your mental health challenges. I aim to accomplish this by providing active listening in a judgment-free environment where we can peel back the layers together to uncover the root problems and learn how to cope with those difficulties at a comfortable pace for you.

​ In my spare time, I like to watch tv shows, listen to podcasts and explore new restaurants.

Hi! I am Christina Rodriguez, and I recently graduated from Tarleton State University—Fort Worth Campus. I completed my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in May 2025.

I have a large, blended family and have been with my partner for over nine years. He is a retired Navy Veteran and active law enforcement officer. I am also a stepmother to four young adults and a young grandmother to a beautiful little girl. I have experienced the ups and downs of dual-parent dynamics and the stresses of being a spouse to someone in law enforcement.

I graduated from Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi in 2012. After graduation, I moved back to Fort Worth and began working as a 911 Dispatcher in law enforcement. I have worked in this position for over ten years and have heard the worst of the worst. My job is not to judge others but to provide help and a calming voice during a stressful event.

I like to use a Cognitive-Behavioral approach. Through Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, we work together to identify unhealthy ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving and change them to be more positive and fulfilling for you. My goal is to guide your journey by creating trust, openness, and a judgment-free space.

Hi! My name is Bri Foresman. I am an LPC-Associate and LCDC-I supervised by Shawna Munson, PhD, LPC-S, LMFT-S. I recently graduated from Lamar University with a Master of Education in Marriage, Couples, and Family Counseling. I graduated from The University of Texas at San Antonio with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology in 2009, followed by a Master of Science in Research Psychology in 2012. In pursuit of my M.S., I studied the social and emotional differences associated with autism spectrum disorder and individual differences in emotion perception across media. Following my graduation, I began a career in education and taught self-contained special education for 12 years. During that time, I saw the toll trauma, stress, and adversities can have on an individual and the family system. My time in the classroom taught me the importance of making connections and showed me the impact feeling heard, valued, and supported can have on an individual’s outcomes. These realizations are what motivated me to start my journey to becoming a counselor.

I approach counseling from a client-centered perspective and incorporate elements of cognitive-behavioral and strength-based therapy. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families and am interested in issues such as anxiety, mood disturbances, interpersonal relationships, and family dynamics. My goals as a counselor are to build a collaborative relationship with my clients and create a safe and nonjudgmental space for them to explore their thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and interactions. I believe people have the ability to solve their own problems and achieve change, they just might need a little help along the way.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, and two very spoiled dogs. I am a very active person and love to be outside! I like to relax with a good book, catching up on my shows, or spending time in my butterfly garden.
