Working with me, I’d hope you’d expect a warm and inviting environment to share your hard truths. I know therapy can be a stressful environment, especially for new clients, and my goal is to make this a safe space for anyone who comes in. I will strive to understand each situation holistically and draw on my education to recognize just how complex people, relationships, and families are, in order to meet you where you’re at in your process. Through our time together, I hope you feel like the space I created for you left you feeling empowered, valued, and heard.

I am motivated by the belief that there needs to be empathetic and passionate professionals in the field of therapy. I’ve always felt a pull towards understanding and connecting with everyone I come across. Relationships in every dynamic are an important part of everyone’s life, and I draw on my positive family experience as a guiding light to be an impactful partner through your process. I am eager to build on my clinical skills, expand my experience, and support couples’ journeys for meaningful growth and healing.

Julia Krantz is a Master’s in Social Work intern supervised by Emily Clark. She is currently working on her MSW at the University of Texas at Arlington with a focus on children and families. Prior to this, she obtained her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Neuroscience from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. After earning her bachelor’s degree, Julia spent four months in Cape Town, South Africa, working with children and families from underserved communities, where she fell in love with the field of Social Work. This experience taught her the value of connection, psychosocial education, and strengthening family bonds. Julia has had ample education in intimate partner violence, children and family counseling, human behavior, and diverse populations. She’s worked in high school settings with young adults ages 14-17 as her first graduate-level internship. Her strengths are in Solution Focused Therapy and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Therapy, and she is newly trained on Gottman Level 1.

Modern life is punctuated by a series of big and small transitions. The most significant changes require steadfast support. It is crucial not to struggle alone and in silence, as many believe they should. With change, enters an unspoken grief. Even when change is positive or necessary, it often means saying goodbye to routines, identities, or relationships that once felt familiar and secure. At the center of your work with me, we will partner to grow and build resilience. Resilience isn’t something you’re simply born with; it is a skill you can build. We often have a deeply ingrained belief that we won’t —or cannot —cope with adversity.

My clinical approach is grounded in an attachment-based framework that emphasizes safety, connection, and emotional attunement as foundations for healing. I partner with clients to learn how early relational blueprints shape present-day patterns in emotion, behavior, and relationships. Alongside this depth work, I weave in here-and-now coping skills, drawing on my training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy.

I began my career as an attorney. After a cross-continent move, I enjoyed building a career in the financial services sector and obtained Series 7 and 66 licensure. Still determined to forge a unique path for my career, I completed my Master of Science in Counseling Psychology at Palm Beach Atlantic University in Florida. I was selected by the faculty to serve an internship at the University Counseling Center. Post licensure, I joined a thriving private practice in Jupiter, Florida, for over a decade. I enjoyed working with teens, adults, couples, and families. I have extensive experience in separation and divorce navigation, new parent coaching, workplace conflicts, executive career coaching, and mood disorder therapy. After training with The Family Peace Initiative I remain deeply committed to serving those impacted by domestic violence.

Bianca Milliern is licensed in Texas (86351) and Florida (MH13206) and certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). She brings over 14 years of experience in private practice and a wealth of life experience to her sessions and considers herself to be a dynamic and culturally minded therapist. She specializes in treating adjustment problems, parenting and divorce coaching, couple and relationship therapy, as well as anxiety and depressive disorders.

I see it as a true privilege to walk alongside individuals and couples as they navigate healing, growth, and connection. Each person’s story is deeply meaningful, and I approach the therapeutic relationship with care, curiosity, and deep respect.

My interest in becoming a therapist began many years ago, but I first walked the path of motherhood—staying home to raise my children for a decade. That season shaped me in deep and lasting ways. After that chapter, I returned to school to pursue my degree and formal training in therapy—work that feels both deeply personal and profoundly important.

I’ve been married to my husband for 18 years, and I understand both the beauty and the challenge of nurturing long-term relationships. It’s from this place of lived experience, compassion, and curiosity that I meet clients—whether they’re individuals or couples—on their own unique journeys.

My clinical approach is rooted in evidence-based methods, with a strong emphasis on trauma-informed care. I utilize attachment-based modalities such as Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). I have completed Gottman Method Couples Therapy Level 2, which informs my work with couples as they strengthen communication, deepen intimacy, and rebuild trust. Additionally, I am EMDR Trained (EMDRIA Approved Basic Training) to support clients in processing trauma and distressing life events. Through my intermediate training in Somatic Experiencing® (Advanced 1 Training), I integrate a mind-body approach to healing trauma, which helps clients restore a sense of safety and regulation in their nervous systems.

Sarah Stocking is a Licensed Professional Counselor-Associate in Texas (#100306), supervised by Dr. Heather Cawthon, LPC-S (#63776). She earned her Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from The King’s University in Southlake, Texas, where she integrated clinical excellence with spiritual awareness. Whether you’re seeking support through a faith-based lens or a more general therapeutic approach, Sarah strives to create a safe, nonjudgmental space tailored to your unique needs.

Sarah is passionate about walking with clients through healing past wounds, navigating relational struggles, and gaining deeper self-understanding. She always strives to foster a calm, compassionate environment where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered.

My approach is rooted in the belief that every person has the innate ability to heal and transform. Life brings us moments of pain, loss, and uncertainty, but within each of us lies the capacity for resilience, self-awareness, and growth. With the right support, even our most difficult experiences can become powerful opportunities for learning and renewal.

Relationships can be among the most meaningful parts of our lives and also among the most challenging. Couples often face moments of disconnection, misunderstandings, changes in intimacy, or difficult decisions about the future of their relationship. These experiences can bring confusion, hurt, and uncertainty, but they can also become opportunities for growth and deeper understanding.

Whether you are experiencing communication difficulties, conflicts around intimacy or sexuality, considering separation or divorce, adjusting to family changes, or simply feeling distant from one another, therapy can offer a supportive space to explore what is happening and what you truly need moving forward.

My goal is to create a safe, respectful, and non-judgmental environment where you feel heard and understood. Together, we can work to strengthen communication, rebuild trust, explore emotional and physical intimacy, and clarify the direction you want for your relationship.

I also work with individuals who want to reflect on their relationship patterns, heal from past relationships, or navigate major transitions such as divorce, separation, or changes within their family system.

As a bilingual therapist, I offer counseling in both English and Spanish and strive to provide an inclusive and affirming space for all couples and individuals, including members of the LGBTQ+ community and those in open relationships.

Seeking support is not a sign of failure in a relationship; it is a courageous step toward understanding, healing, and making intentional choices about your life and relationships. I would be honored to support you in that process.

I also have extensive experience working with athletes, supporting their emotional well-being, focus, and performance. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working in different countries and cultures, which has opened opportunities as one of the US Olympic Training Center’s diversity leaders.

I’m grateful to be part of this team and look forward to accompanying you on your journey toward healing and growth.

Let’s start the conversation.

Mi enfoque se basa en la creencia de que toda persona posee la capacidad innata de sanar y transformarse. La vida nos presenta momentos de dolor, pérdida e incertidumbre, pero dentro de cada uno de nosotros reside la capacidad de resiliencia, autoconocimiento y crecimiento. Con el apoyo adecuado, incluso nuestras experiencias más difíciles pueden convertirse en valiosas oportunidades de aprendizaje y renovación.

Las relaciones de pareja pueden ser una de las experiencias más significativas de nuestra vida, pero también pueden traer momentos de dificultad, confusión y dolor. Muchas parejas atraviesan etapas de desconexión, problemas de comunicación, cambios en la intimidad o la sexualidad, conflictos familiares, o decisiones difíciles sobre el futuro de la relación.

Ya sea que estén enfrentando conflictos constantes, desafíos en la intimidad, procesos de separación o divorcio, cambios dentro de la familia, o simplemente sientan que la relación ya no se siente como antes, la terapia puede ofrecer un espacio seguro para comprender lo que está sucediendo y encontrar nuevas formas de avanzar.

Mi objetivo es crear un espacio respetuoso, seguro y libre de juicios, donde cada persona pueda sentirse escuchada y comprendida. Juntos podemos trabajar para mejorar la comunicación, reconstruir la confianza, explorar la intimidad emocional y sexual, y reflexionar sobre el rumbo que desean para su relación.

También trabajo con personas que desean comprender mejor sus patrones de relación, sanar experiencias del pasado, o atravesar transiciones importantes como una separación, divorcio o cambios en su sistema familiar.

Ofrezco terapia en español e inglés, y procuro brindar un espacio inclusivo y afirmativo para todas las personas y parejas, incluyendo a la comunidad LGBTQ+ y las relaciones abiertas.

Buscar apoyo no significa que la relación ha fracasado; muchas veces es un paso valiente hacia una mayor comprensión, sanación y crecimiento personal y relacional. Será un honor poder acompañarte en este proceso.

Cuento también con amplia experiencia trabajando con atletas apoyando su bienestar emocional, concentración y rendimiento.

A lo largo de mi trayectoria profesional, he tenido el privilegio de trabajar en diferentes países y culturas, lo que me ha brindado oportunidades trabajar como líder en diversidad en el Centro Olímpico de los Estados Unidos.

Agradezco formar parte de este equipo y espero acompañarte en tu camino hacia la sanación y el crecimiento.

Comencemos la conversación.

My focus is on integrating faith and science into the healing process, enabling you to gain access to hope and a path to healing in your relationships with yourself, God, and others.

Early in my married life, I had a bad experience with Christian counseling. Effectively, I was told, “Don’t you know what you are doing is a sin? Stop it!” While I did not continue with that counselor, I thought there must be more to it than that. After reading James 1:25, I began to believe that God doesn’t want us to be told what to do as much as He wants us to see and experience the freedom of His Word in the real world—our everyday lives.

The result for me has been a “where the rubber meets the road” kind of faith and therapeutic practice. I believe both research and faith need to be “real” (1 Corinthians 15:23) and applicable (James 2:16) to the issues we struggle with.

Maybe you find yourself doing the very thing you don’t want to do, or not doing the thing you want to do (Romans 7:15-20), or struggling with silencing the voices of doubt and fear; I would love to help you figure out “how.”

Or for couples who try to talk to each other, “but it’s like I say one thing and he/she hears something totally different than what I said or meant.” I would love to help you translate what you wish they would hear.   (Yes, there is such a thing as male/female speak.)

I believe in the transformative power of faith and professional therapy to bring about healing and renewal. I offer Christian counseling designed to provide a safe and supportive space. I integrate faith-based approaches with evidence-based therapies to promote holistic healing in the areas of anxiety, depression, anger, relationship issues, or spiritual concerns. I believe a Christian counseling environment should provide you with an opportunity to address these areas in a safe and supportive setting, combining psychological insight with biblical wisdom.

I firmly believe it is my job to help those who are hurting find the healing, freedom, and fulfillment they were designed to have. I believe this is accomplished through proven therapeutic practices that span at least five dimensions:

Physical – EMDR, biofeedback, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) informed Guided Imagery—awareness and regulation of the body’s responses to thoughts and the environment.

Cognitive – Our thoughts and what we do with those thoughts; our interactions with ourselves.

Affective – The physical states most people refer to as emotions.

Social – Our interactions with others.

Spiritual – Our interactions with God and the Divine.

I believe that therapy is most successful when there is a safe space for clients to come exactly as they are. The therapy room should be the place for individuals and couples to authentically show up, no matter their struggle, knowing that I will meet them with support, encouragement, and healing. My goal is to join with my clients to find their unique path towards healing and growth. Whether it is conflict, grief, anxiety, disappointment, relationship issues, life transitions, or processing the past, no one should have to walk through their struggles alone.

In all my work, I am passionate about creating a welcoming space that fosters compassion, authenticity, openness—and hopefully joy. I am passionate about delivering a meaningful experience for my clients and seek to provide them with moments of discovery about themselves and their partners.

In my practice, I use a variety of counseling techniques. With individuals, I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help them navigate life’s challenges with acceptance rather than avoidance. In my work with couples and relationships, I use the Developmental Model, which focuses on how relationships evolve and how partners can work to grow together to foster connection and relationship satisfaction. I am certified in Prepare/Enrich, which is one of the most widely respected premarital programs. I am also certified in the Enneagram testing and analysis, which is a way to understand different personality types.
