Hello! I’m Dr. Harriet Singelyn (she/her) and I provide trauma-informed online therapy to women in Texas who are looking to manage their anxiety, depression, perfectionism, and burnout. You are someone with a big heart who often puts others’ needs before your own. You feel connected to, but often overwhelmed by, your emotional experiences. You pay close attention to mood shifts in your environment, and feel pressure to keep the peace. You are a “people pleaser” who struggles to set boundaries with yourself and others. You feel anxious in relationships and often worry about how you are perceived. You are a perfectionist and hold yourself to a high standard, but when your expectations are unmet, you blame yourself. You feel burned out or even depressed, and no matter how hard you work, you feel like you’re not good enough. If any of the above sounds familiar to you, then we may be a good fit! My main areas of focus include: -Women’s mental health -Self-compassion and self-esteem -Anxiety and perfectionism -Depression and burnout -Relational trauma -LGBTQ+ mental health with a particular expertise in bi+ affirming care -Support for loved ones of people with substance use disorders -Support for adult children of emotionally immature parents I utilize a variety of evidence based techniques and therapeutic styles to help my clients get unstuck and feel better including: -Psychodynamic therapy -Somatic techniques -Parts work -Emotion-focused therapy -DBT skill building -Trauma-informed therapy -Mindful self-compassion The above list can be fit into this nutshell: I bring authenticity (personality, humor, and humanness) into my work and enjoy helping folks like you get curious about who they are, what they need, and how they cope. My style of therapy is a mix of focusing on the present moment (what you think, feel, and need during session), getting curious about the past (how your experiences impact you now), and building new skills to get you where you want to be. It’s time to build a loving relationship with yourself. Here’s the good news: you don’t have to do this on your own. Contact me today to get started!

Life has a way of exhausting us, especially when it feels like we’re chasing standards no one could possibly meet. I know this struggle deeply. Like so many of us, I’ve juggled work, relationships and other obligations while forgetting to take care of myself. I know what it feels like to carry heavy expectations—as a woman of color and a child of an immigrant, I’ve often felt the weight of needing to be strong, capable, and successful all at once. I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety and depression, and overcome the challenges of life transitions. As a new mother, I have expanded my skills in supporting perinatal individuals as well.

Seeking therapy is a courageous step, and I’m here to meet you exactly where you are. I specialize in working with teens and adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, and the complex emotions that come with everyday life. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I believe everybody deserves dignity and respect. I have several years of experience helping teens, adults, and families navigate a variety of challenges with life transitions ranging from anxiety and depression to trauma and grief. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental (virtual) space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to take steps toward meaningful change. Most of my availability is in the evenings and on weekends. Please reach out to schedule a free 15 minute consultation to see if we would be a good fit to work together!

You’ve worked hard to get where you are. You’re successful, capable, and admired — yet inside you might feel anxious, overwhelmed, or like you’re barely holding it together. I often work with high-functioning students, student athletes, graduate students and new graduates and professionals who look put together on the outside but struggle with self-doubt, hidden stress, and emotions that feel out of control. You may be tired of carrying it all alone or feel like something has to change but don’t know where to start. I provide a grounded, supportive space where your experience is taken seriously and your goals matter. Together, we’ll explore the patterns that keep you feeling stuck and develop practical, personalized strategies that help you feel more confident, centered, and in charge of your life again. I help you strengthen internal resilience, deepen self-awareness, and build habits that align with the person you want to be. Many clients find greater clarity, calm, and self-trust as they learn to respond to life rather than just react. You can expect honest conversation, real support, and tools that actually work — so you can step into your strengths, lead with intention, and feel more fulfilled both personally and professionally.

Balans was created to be a safe and inclusive space for both individuals and couples who are seeking support through life’s many transitions. Here, we honor your unique experiences, cultural background, and personal identity. Whether you're navigating personal growth, facing emotional challenges, or working through relationship dynamics, this space is tailored to support your individual needs. At Balans, we will work collaboratively to understand your story, foster resilience, and guide you toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

You can do hard things, but you're tired, or wondering if things have to be this hard. You take care of yourself, but you still feel lonely or worried. People on the outside might say you're crushing it, but on the inside, sometimes you feel you're being crushed. You have big questions for which there may be no answers. I live in the same world you do, with its profound beauty and heartbreaking flaws. I strive to connect with my clients authentically, and sit with them as we contemplate difficult questions. If you are looking for a warm and collaborative space to process your emotions and maybe get some podcast recommendations along the way, we might be a good fit. Oh, and if the phrase “Highly Sensitive Person” means something to you (or feels like it should), I’ve got you. My clinical expertise is with the young adult population, having spent a decade working in institutions of higher education. My private practice clients are typically in the 18-40ish age range. At this time, my practice is fully online via HIPAA-compliant videoconferencing. Please note, this modality is not suitable for everyone.

Feeling unhappy, stressed, overwhelmed, out of control of your own life? We often underestimate the need to have someone support us through challenging experiences and difficult emotions to get us to a better place. It takes courage to seek change and take control of our lives to get us to where we want to be. As a counselor, my goal is to help you gain insight into your current situation and guide you into learning how to manage your emotions so you can break free from the obstacles that are hindering you from having the quality of life you wish to have.

Feeling overwhelmed by school, relationships, or family drama? Struggling with a major life transition or trying to figure out life? Maybe you're dealing with anxiety, navigating a family divorce, or just need someone to talk to who actually gets it. I work with college students and young adults who are trying to manage everything life throws at them—whether that's academic stress, relationship issues, family conflicts, grief, or just feeling stuck. I also specialize in ADHD and can help you develop real, practical strategies to succeed in college and beyond. I create a space where you can be real about what's going on, work through tough stuff, and build skills that actually help. My style is warm, collaborative, and focused on what matters to you. Think of it as having someone who walks with you in your who's genuinely invested in helping you navigate through your life challenges. I am currently accepting new clients via telehealth in Texas and New Mexico.

As a recent college graduate and former college athlete, I understand the unique pressure that comes with balancing academics, performance, relationships, and identity in today’s fast-paced world. College can be an exciting season of growth, but it can also feel overwhelming — especially when you’re striving to excel in the classroom, compete at a high level, maintain friendships or dating relationships, and navigate constant comparison fueled by social media, technology, and AI. I specialize in working with high-achieving college students who struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, body image concerns, eating disorders, and the internal pressure to always perform. Whether you’re pushing for top grades, managing the physical and mental demands of athletics, or silently battling self-doubt despite external success, I provide a space where you can step out of performance mode and show up as your full, authentic self. You don’t have to sacrifice your mental health to succeed. My goal is to help you build resilience, develop a healthier relationship with achievement, strengthen your identity beyond performance, and pursue excellence in a way that feels sustainable and aligned with who you truly are.

The clients I see are sometimes in college experiencing feelings of overwhelm or feeling low. These clients describe their challenges as feeling, “como con miedo,” and also, “no se que tengo.” Other clients I see are future counselors who are at the beginning of their careers and facing imposter syndrome ( “I must’ve slipped through the cracks to get to where I am now”), self-criticism (“Why can’t I get my life together!"), or burnout (feeling fatigued and like you can never catch up). These clients are usually part of activist movements or workplaces and I believe in helping the healers that are out in the world making a positive impact on society. I benefited greatly from my own experiences with counseling when I was in grad school (still do) and I hope to provide the same non-judgmental opportunities to cry or laugh or both to future clients. In my work I value humility, curiosity, self-compassion and humor. I believe these are needed to provide authenticity and support at a time when people starting out in their fields of work are taking in new information that is stretching/challenging perspectives and care for the self is a necessity to continue doing challenging work.

The clients I work best with are: 🌱 Overwhelmed high-functioning perfectionists who like bad jokes. 🌱People who are done with dieting because they know it doesn't work even though they wish it did. 🌱Spiritual weirdos who like tarot, manifestations, energy work, and finding balance with the universe 🌱 People who care about everyone else, leaving themselves for last and wanting someone to call them out when it's not working 🌱 People who make jokes about or completely ignore their trauma in order to deal

Everyone struggles with relationship issues, anxiety/worry, work stress, substance use, or uncomfortable feelings. It can also be extremely difficult to find balance and perspective sometimes. My goal is to provide a safe and organized framework for identifying these problems and developing new skills or ways of thinking about them. Ultimately, I help my clients develop the tools needed to manage independently and live a life they're excited about. Due to the current state of the world, I'm also working with a lot of individuals who are feeling isolated and cut off from their "normal" support systems to help them manage life's issues. I grew up in the Dallas area, graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a degree in psychology. I then attended graduate school at Assumption University because of its affiliation with the Beck Institute for Cognitive Behavior Therapy. My clinical training was thus focused on a cognitive behavioral approach to treating mental health disorders like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder as well as substance abuse issues. I was also intensively trained during my internship in Dialectical-Behavior Therapy and I utilize this skills-based approach to help adolescents and adults struggling to build and maintain relationships, manage their emotions or crises effectively. My approach to therapy is problem-focused and very much operates in the present. I collaborate with clients to identify goals, develop skills, and implement them in a structured way. The area of focus in therapy tends to be on reframing thoughts or changing behaviors with the end goal of improving mood or circumstance.

Have you experienced something traumatic, stressful or life-altering? Do you feel unfulfilled, drained or overwhelmed? Do you feel frustrated, lost or hopeless? Are your thoughts negative and cruel? Do your emotions seem uncontrollable? Do you struggle to connect to others, or find joy in things you once loved? I have more than a decade of experience helping adults who are facing life's challenges, and we can work together to help you take your power back using simple tools & techniques. You’re not alone, and I believe change is within your reach.

Are you hoping to work with a therapist who’s relaxed, grounded, genuinely meets you where you are, and brings honesty, openness, and a touch of spark? You’re in the right place! I aim to create a space where you can show up as your unfiltered self, feel supported through whatever life brings, and grow into the version of yourself you’re ready to embrace.

Do you feel on edge, stuck in your head, or like you can’t fully connect with the people you care about? Maybe your chest tightens in conflict, or you shut down when things get too overwhelming. These are signs your nervous system is in overdrive—and it’s not your fault. Through integrative somatic and creative therapies, I’ll help you tune into your body, calm your system, and feel safer in yourself and your relationships.

You’re anxious and frustrated. Maybe lost, confused, and overwhelmed. My hope as your therapist is that you see hope in just visiting this page. You're done hiding, avoiding, and repressing. This is step 1 towards healing. I invite you to take a step further. Together, we will bring clarity to your situation, process unresolved emotions, and develop coping skills for enduring positive change. When you are sitting across from me, my goal is for you to feel safe, understood, and encouraged. I am here to help you unlearn thoughts and behaviors that no longer serve you—to explore and unravel unhealthy habits, toxic ways of interacting with others, and harmful statements you unconsciously rehearse when you’re feeling your absolute worst. I focus on your strengths and take into account your family dynamics, how you were raised, and any trauma you have experienced. In session with me, you can expect me to ask you how you deal with negative emotions. I also want to know about your relationships, culture, and community. I received my Master of Science in Counseling from Southern Methodist University, where I studied Clinical Mental Health with specialization in Marriage, Couples, and Family. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Harvard College. To set up a free 15-minute consultation, please visit www.jackieleecounseling.com
