Aursha Waldon - M.A., LPC
Hello! My name is Aursha Waldon, and I have dedicated the past 17 years to the mental health field as a certified school counselor, supporting individuals from early childhood through young adulthood. Now, I am excited to transition into a more client-centered approach as a Licensed Professional Counselor, where I can connect more deeply with clients of all ages. My life experiences have shaped me into a compassionate, understanding, and approachable therapist. I believe in creating a non-judgmental environment that feels like a true safe space—a space where you can be authentically yourself and work toward the life you want to build.
I use evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS), to help you set and achieve your goals. Together, we’ll work through challenges, uncover strengths, and build strategies to support your healing and growth. It is an honor to walk alongside you on your journey. Whether you’re seeking support for yourself or your child, I am here to provide a space of warmth, empathy, and empowerment. Let’s take this step forward together.

Kandice Correa - LPC
Each day is an opportunity to initiate change in our lives. My work with my clients is to motivate and empower them so that they may develop life changing skills and begin their journey into healing, wellness, and healthy living. Life can be challenging, and at times, we can feel stuck. Through counseling, self-reflection, and intentional work, my clients have grown and have developed into the healthy individuals they have wanted to be. I believe that every person has the capacity to evolve, and in my practice, I have supported my clients through the “hard to go through” parts of life.
I graduated from Stephen F. Austin State University with my Master’s in Professional Counseling in 2022. I specialize in depression, anxiety, and trauma-related life concerns, and I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. My approach is eclectic, interpersonal, and psychodynamic. I tend to rely on therapeutic modalities which include trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, solution focused, and person centered techniques. I encourage you to begin your journey, and I welcome the opportunity to work with you. I look forward to connecting with you soon!

Kierstyn Lockey - LPC Associate
As a counselor, I am deeply passionate about helping individuals find their inner strength and healing. My approach is rooted in empathy and a genuine desire to understand each person’s unique story. I’ve learned through my own life experiences that sometimes the hardest part of growth is just feeling heard and understood, and that’s what I strive to provide for every client. Whether you're facing challenges related to mental health, relationships, or personal growth, my goal is to walk with you through those moments, offering support and guidance as you uncover the tools you need to overcome obstacles. I believe in fostering an open, trusting space where vulnerability is honored, and where together, we can explore your strengths and build a path forward that aligns with your values and aspirations.
I graduated from University of Houston-Victoria with my Master’s in Forensic Psychology. I am supervised by Cynde Williams. When working with clients, I use a combination of person-centered, cognitive, and solution-focused therapy techniques to help navigate each individual on their journey to better understanding themselves. I would love the opportunity to work with you and be able to help assist you along your journey.
