Texas Counseling Collective exists to strengthen communities by increasing access to trusted counseling care and empowering clinicians to confidently run their own independent practices.
The Heart & Human behind Texas Counseling Collective
Hi, I'm Kelli. When I started my own private practice, I felt confident in my clinical training - but not in my business knowledge.
Like many therapists, I had years of education in mental health and human relationships, but no roadmap for building a business. I didn't have a business degree. I didn't have a marketing plan. I had passion, training, and a deep belief in the value of good therapy - and I often felt like I was figuring everything else out alone.
Over time, I realized something important.
There are so many thoughtful, skilled clinicians in our communities. Professionals who care deeply about their work and show up prepared, ethical, and committed to their clients. But being an excellent therapist doesn't automatically mean knowing how to build visibility, structure, or sustainable systems.
And I began to see the gap.
At the same time, I was watching my four kids grow into completely different, fully themselves individuals. Each one wired differently. Each one strong in their own way. It reminded me how powerful it is when people are allowed to be who they actually are.
That belief shapes everything I build.
I don't believe clinicians should have to fit into one model or give up their independence to succeed. I believe people do their best work - at home and in their careers - when their individuality is respected and supported.
Texas Counseling Collective was created to celebrate that.
It's a thoughtful space designed to help independent counselors be seen and found by the communities who need them. A place where clinicians can operate as their own businesses, and clients can connect with the provider who truly fits.
I am cheering for both - counselors and clients.
Because when the right people find each other, meaningful work happens.
All the best, Kelli
