Supervision ensures that every session is conducted with the utmost care and proficiency, creating a supportive environment for clients to explore their concerns. This collaborative model not only fosters the development of our trainees but also provides cost-effective and accessible mental health care. Therefore, our sliding scale fee structure is intended to be competitive with most insurance copays. We do not require any financial documentation to access the sliding scale fee feature.

Brooke Barker, Grad Intern supervised by Bethany Luna, M.S., LMFT-S
I am a Clinical Mental Health Counseling graduate student at Texas Tech University, and I am passionate about working with children, adolescents, and adults from all walks of life. I strive to create a safe, compassionate, and collaborative space where clients feel seen, heard, and genuinely valued. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation for meaningful growth, and I aim to foster an environment where individuals feel comfortable exploring their thoughts, emotions, and experiences.
My approach to counseling is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused techniques. Through CBT, I support clients in identifying and reframing unhelpful thought patterns, building emotional awareness, and developing practical coping strategies. I also incorporate Solution-Focused approaches to help clients recognize their strengths, clarify their goals, and take small, intentional steps toward meaningful and lasting change.
I have a strong interest in supporting individuals managing anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Whether you are navigating stress, changes in relationships, academic or career pressures, or personal challenges, I work alongside you to build resilience, increase confidence, and develop tools that support your overall well-being. My goal is to help you feel more empowered in your daily life while creating sustainable growth that aligns with who you are and who you want to become.
Brooke is accepting new clients on Mon, Wed, and Thursday evenings from 5 to 8pm.
Jenn Harris, LPC Associate supervised by Marie Luna, M.Ed, LPC-S
Hello! My name is Jenn Harris, and I graduated with a master's degree Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Texas Tech in May 2025. I earned my BA in English in 2010, also from Tech.
For past 14 years, I have been a high school teacher here in Lubbock, primarily teaching English and psychology. As I move into this new facet of my career, I am looking forward to continuing my work with adolescents, and would welcome the chance to work with their families as well.
Additionally, as a teacher, I am well-versed, both personally and professionally, in the highs and lows of working in a helping profession. I would welcome the opportunity to help anyone navigate the complex emotions involved in creating a healthy work-life balance.
In counseling, I use a variety of counseling techniques and theories including narrative, solution-focused, strengths-based, and systems theories.
I’m looking forward to meeting you and working together to help you begin your journey towards healing in yourself and your relationships.

Mollie Ferguson, LPC Associate supervised by Christian Enevoldsen, LPC-S
Hi there!
My name is Mollie and I am an LPC-A supervised by Christian Enevoldsen. At all times of every day, many of us are thinking about what we should be doing, what we need to do, or what we could have done. Very rarely do we have the time and space to sit down and be present with where we are at.
Through our work together, I hope to offer you the space and safety to explore where you are at the moment and bring your inner self to the present. To achieve this, I will be flexible to your needs. If you are looking for a more structured and skill-building focus, we will utilize strategies from DBT, ERP, and CBT. On the other hand, if you are looking for a more explorative and existential approach such as IFS, I have spent a great deal of time working from a person-centered lens in my previous private practice experience. My goal is to help guide you on a journey that best fits your specific needs.
As a queer and poly individual, my approach is also informed from a multicultural and affirming lens. I have spent a great deal of time working with queer and non-monogamous individuals and have a deep appreciation and understanding for the work to be done within the LGBTQ+ community. Further, I also have an extensive history of working with neurodivergent individuals and their specific needs.
Outside of my work, I love participating in activism, reading tarot, and playing Dungeons and Dragons. I look forward to accompanying you on your journey and having the privilege to see where you go next!

Justin Rivas, LMFT Associate supervised by Bethany Luna, LMFT-S
Hi, my name is Justin and I am a LMFT Associate supervised by Bethany Luna, LMFT-S. I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and move toward greater healing, resilience, and personal growth. I believe that every person has the capacity to overcome adversity and create meaningful change when given the right support, tools, and environment. My goal as a counselor is to provide a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel empowered to explore their experiences, better understand themselves, and develop strategies that support lasting well-being.
I draw from both my personal experiences and professional training to create an approach that is collaborative and individualized. I understand that no two people experience suffering in the same way, which is why I work to tailor therapy to each client’s unique needs, values, and goals. I strive to meet clients where they are while helping them build confidence, self-awareness, and practical skills that can support growth both inside and outside of therapy.
My therapeutic approach incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based interventions, multicultural perspectives, and exposure-based techniques. Through CBT, I help clients recognize and challenge unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that may contribute to anxiety, depression, stress, or emotional distress. I also integrate mindfulness practices to encourage greater emotional awareness, grounding, and self-compassion. I value multicultural counseling approaches that honor each client’s identity, lived experiences, culture, and worldview, and I believe therapy should always feel affirming and inclusive. When appropriate, I utilize exposure-based interventions to help clients gradually confront fears, reduce avoidance, and build confidence in managing difficult situations.
I am especially passionate about supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, life stress, emotional overwhelm, and periods of transition or uncertainty. I believe healing happens through connection, trust, and honest self-exploration, and I work to offer unconditional positive regard so clients feel accepted and supported throughout the therapeutic process.
As someone dedicated to serving the greater Lubbock community, I am committed to helping clients move toward fuller, healthier, and more meaningful lives. My hope is that clients leave therapy feeling more empowered, more connected to themselves, and better equipped to navigate the challenges they face.
Justin is accepting new clients on Tuesday and Thursdays from 12 to 7pm

Alexis Sanchez, Grad Intern supervised by Bethany Luna, M.S., LMFT-S
Hello, my name is Alexis Sanchez, and I am currently a Licensed Professional Counseling graduate student at Angelo State University. I am passionate about creating a supportive, warm, and collaborative environment where clients feel comfortable exploring their experiences, thoughts, and emotions at their own pace. I believe that healing begins when we feel safe, heard, and understood. I strive to foster a therapeutic relationship built on trust, authenticity, and compassion.
I approach therapy with empathy, curiosity, and deep respect for each person's unique story. I recognize that every individual's journey is different, and I believe healing is not one-size-fits-all. My goal is to tailor the counseling process to each client's strengths, values, needs, and personal goals while empowering them to discover their own resilience and capacity for growth.
I have a special passion for working with adolescents as they navigate identity development, relationships, school stress, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, and the many transitions that come with growing into adulthood. Adolescence is a time of tremendous change, and I believe that having a safe, supportive space during these years can help young people build confidence, emotional resilience, and healthy coping skills that last a lifetime.
I am also passionate about supporting individuals and families impacted by trauma, including PTSD, abuse, and intergenerational trauma. I understand that painful experiences can shape the way we see ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us. Whether someone has experienced emotional, physical, or sexual abuse, witnessed violence, or grown up in environments marked by instability or unhealthy relationship patterns, I believe healing is possible. Together, we can work to process those experiences, recognize patterns that may have been passed through generations, and develop healthier ways of connecting with ourselves and others.
I welcome individuals from all backgrounds and walks of life, and I recognize that seeking counseling is a courageous and meaningful step. My hope is to create a nonjudgmental space where clients feel empowered to face life's challenges, strengthen their relationships, and move toward greater healing and self-understanding. It is a privilege to walk alongside clients as they begin their journey.
Alexis is accepting new clients beginning August 24th, 2026. Alexis will see clients on weekday evenings and Saturday morning.
Melonie Brown, Grad Intern supervised by Bethany Luna, M.S., LMFT-S
I am currently completing my Marriage and Family Therapy internship and will earn my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Abilene Christian University. I also hold a Master’s in Education in Curriculum and Instruction with a focus in Educational Diagnostics from West Texas A&M University. With more than 16 years of experience in education as both a teacher and Educational Diagnostician, I bring a deep understanding of child development, learning differences, school systems, and the unique needs of children and adolescents and the impact to families.
I am especially passionate about supporting children with disabilities and the families who care for them. I understand that parenting and caregiving can be deeply rewarding while also carrying unique emotional, relational, and practical challenges. Families often navigate stress, advocacy within school systems, medical or developmental concerns, sibling dynamics, and the ongoing balance of meeting everyone’s needs. My goal is to provide a compassionate and affirming space where families feel understood, supported, and empowered.
I view therapy as a collaborative process where each person brings valuable strengths, resilience, and insight. I work to create a warm, safe, and nonjudgmental environment where clients can openly explore challenges, process emotions, and build meaningful tools for growth. My approach is relational, strengths-based, and tailored to the unique needs of each child, individual, couple, or family I serve. I believe lasting change happens when people feel seen, respected, and supported.
My clinical interests include working with children, adolescents, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, emotional regulation difficulties, behavioral concerns, and family stress. I also support clients navigating life transitions such as divorce, co-parenting, blended family dynamics, and single parenting. In addition, I enjoy helping caregivers strengthen communication, increase confidence in their parenting, and create healthier patterns of connection within the family system.
Drawing from both my therapeutic training and educational background, I can also support families as they navigate school-related concerns, learning accommodations, IEP/504 processes, and the emotional impact that academic or developmental challenges can have on a child and family. I am committed to helping clients build on their existing strengths, foster resilience, and move toward meaningful and sustainable change.
Melonie is accepting clients on Mon, Wed and Fri from 5 to 8pm.
Karlie Oldham, ACU Grad Intern supervised by Bethany Luna, M.S., LMFT-S
Hi, I’m Karlie. I’m a Marriage & Family Therapist Graduate Intern from Abilene Christian University, and I work from a systems perspective because I believe we all grow, struggle, and heal in the context of our relationships and environments. I am passionate about walking alongside individuals, couples, and families as they move through challenges, transitions, and patterns that no longer serve them.
My work includes helping clients improve communication, navigate conflict, strengthen attachment, shift unhelpful family dynamics, and build skills that support healthier connection. I have a heart for single parents—helping them find steadiness, support, and practical tools—and for clients healing from trauma, offering a grounded, compassionate space to rebuild safety and resilience.
Whether supporting partners through relational strain, guiding families toward more effective interaction, or helping individuals understand how their broader system shapes their wellbeing, I want to offer a space for safety of expression. I also enjoy working with college-aged adults who are figuring out identity, independence, stress, and the pressure of “getting it right.”
My hope is to offer a space that feels steady, warm, and collaborative, where you can strengthen your relationships, break old cycles, build resilience, and move toward the version of yourself you want to become.
Karlie is accepting new clients on Tuesdays and Thursdays afternoon and evenings.
Virginia Monreal, ACU Grad Intern supervised by Bethany Luna, M.S., LMFT-S
I am passionate about providing compassionate, developmentally attuned care to children, adolescents, and their families. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and collaborative therapeutic environment where young people feel seen, heard, and valued. I believe that healing and growth happen within the context of safe relationships, and I work to foster a space where youth and caregivers can explore challenges with openness and trust.
My approach is grounded in a systemic and relational lens, recognizing that each individual is shaped by their family, relationships, and broader environment. I enjoy working with individuals, couples and families as they navigate emotional, relational, and developmental transitions, including anxiety, identity development, family dynamics, peer relationships, and life stressors. I integrate evidence-based practices with a strengths-based perspective, helping clients build emotional awareness, resilience, and practical coping skills.
I also incorporate Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) into my work. This approach helps clients identify their existing strengths, resources, and moments when problems feel more manageable. Rather than focusing solely on the problem, SFBT encourages clients to envision what meaningful change looks like and to take small, achievable steps toward that vision. This approach can be especially helpful for individuals managing anxiety, navigating life stressors, and couples experiencing relational conflict, as it supports clients in recognizing their capabilities, improving communication, and building practical strategies that promote lasting change.
I am dedicated to partnering with clients to support meaningful and sustainable change. Through empathy, curiosity, and collaboration, my goal is to empower clients to better understand themselves, strengthen their relationships, and move toward greater confidence and well-being.
