Hey there, I’m Crystal! As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I work with individuals and families across the lifespan to support meaningful change and emotional well-being. Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Family Systems, and Person-Centered approaches, I tailor each session to meet the unique needs of my clients. Whether working with children, teens, or adults, I create a collaborative and compassionate space that empowers growth, strengthens relationships, and builds practical tools for everyday life. I earned my Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Sam Houston State University in 2020 and have had the opportunity to work with people of all ages. I truly enjoy connecting with individuals from diverse backgrounds and believe that everyone’s story deserves to be heard with compassion and respect. when I’m not working, you can usually find me doing something creative-whether it’s tackling DIY home projects, gardening, crocheting, sewing, or baking. I’m married to a wonderfully supportive husband who cheers me on in all that I do, and together, we’re raising two young boys who keep life busy, fun, and full of laughter. My family is a big part of what keeps me grounded and inspired to keep growing, both personally and professionally. I look forward to meeting you!

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.

Hello, all! My name is Decoy Horn (they/them/theirs). I’m a Counseling Student Intern currently enrolled in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at Sam Houston State University, and I will be practicing under the supervision of Desi Richardson MA, LPC.

My background consists of a B.A. of Psychology with a minor in Social Work from Texas State University and several years of experience working for a crisis line. I’m interested in trauma work, particularly adolescents and adults with a history of complex trauma, but I’m also passionate about assisting parents learn how to support their child’s mental health struggles. I’m also interested in assisting with LBGTQ+ issues, whether that is the main concern or you simply feel that your identity informs the other things you’re struggling with.

My purpose as a counselor is to help facilitate self-understanding, personal agency, and resiliency. I believe that every person has the capacity to create a satisfying life, but not every person has access to the methods needed to do so—and that is where counseling comes in. I hope to foster strengths and assist in discovering new methods and resources to give you the best chance at living the life you want to live.

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.

Hi! My name is Shawna Munson and I am the founder and Director of Serenity House Counseling in Livingston, TX.

I love to work with individuals, couples, teens, and veterans and their families. I believe that all people have the capability of solving most of their concerns on their own when someone asks the right questions to help. I enjoy working with issues such as PTSD, anxiety, relationship concerns, sexual concerns, and parenting. I find that most people simply want to be heard and to have someone hold space for them without judgment or criticism to work through their own needs. ​

I view therapy from the lens that the client knows what’s best for them and they are the driver. I am the passenger helping with the navigation system! I work with clients from a client-centered philosophy with aspects of cognitive-behavioral and reality therapy. I love to work with individuals, couples, and veterans, along with their families.

My goal is to help make tomorrow better than today. My hope for you is that you build a relationship with your therapist based on mutual respect, dependability, and openness. If you are looking for someone who can hold space for you and to create a safe environment where you can be yourself, contact us today!
