Meet Our Specialists
Tamera Rasmussen, MS, LPC, LPCC, NCC, C-PD
Hi! While it is necessary to introduce myself according to my education, experience, licensing, and specializations, it's more important to let you know that I am a human first. I live life just like you and experience parenting pitfalls, marriage challenges, financial quandaries, and all the other stuff that life is made of. My role in your life isn't to tell you what to do or how to do it. It is to use the clinical skills I've learned, the wisdom I've gained, and my clinical experience to help you navigate and heal from the "stuff" in your life. As for my credentials, I have a Master's of science (MS) in Mental Health Counseling from a CACREP Accredited University. I am a nationally recognized Board-Certified Counselor (NCC), a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the State of Texas, and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in the state of New Mexico. I am a Certified Personality Disorder (C-PD) specialist and a trained EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) provider. I am also trained in Co-Parenting Counseling, Circle of Security Parenting©, ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), and interventions specific to the treatment of trauma and eating disorders.
While I often use and believe in the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused interventions, I identify as an eclectic and holistic-oriented therapist. In other words, I don't subscribe to a "one size fits all" method. Instead, I draw from various skills and models to best meet your needs. My definition of a holistic approach is that all things in life are connected to achieve long-term emotional wellness. Therefore, we need to consider everything that makes us, us (i.e., physical wellness, family dynamics, eating and sleep habits, work environment, past traumas, etc.).
My specializations include working with individuals and families affected by personality disorders and serious mental illness, attachment and intimacy issues, working with couples and individuals (16 and up) with relationship problems related to sex and intimacy, parenting, co-parenting and divorce transition, general marital distress, anxiety and depression symptoms, stress, body image and eating issues including bulimia and anorexia, simple and complex trauma, grief/loss, career transition, and phase of life difficulties. In addition to general adult counseling, I also run a Circle of Security parenting group.
I use Circle of Security Parenting© and parenting psychotherapy to help parents discover new ways to connect with their children (from infant to adult) to develop healthy long-term attachments and/or create lasting repairs to restore broken family relationships. Healthier families = healthier children = healthier, happier, and more productive classrooms, communities, and homes.
I am passionate about my calling as a psychotherapist because it allows me to work with a wide range of individuals from all walks of life. I make no apologies for my belief in God or my desire to offer faith-based services when desired. However, ALL are welcome in the haven of my office regardless of sexual orientation, religious background, ethnicity, gender, or political affiliation. Thank you for stopping by; I look forward to working with you!

Vielka Williams, LPC
I stumbled into therapy years ago and didn’t expect much—until it helped me truly understand myself, manage anxiety, and heal from past trauma. That experience inspired me to become a counselor and guide others through their own journeys of growth and healing.
Born in Brooklyn, NY to Panamanian immigrant parents with Caribbean roots, and having moved to Texas at 13, I know firsthand the challenges of adapting to new environments and navigating cultural transitions. These experiences have shaped the way I connect with clients and honor their unique stories.
In my practice, I use a person-centered approach, integrating cognitive and dialectical behavioral techniques to help clients build meaningful coping skills. Together, we’ll work on understanding emotions, shifting unhelpful thought patterns, and developing strategies that support emotional regulation and greater self-awareness.
My goal is to empower you to make healthier choices with clarity and confidence—always honoring your autonomy and inner wisdom. You don’t have to figure it all out alone; I’m here to walk with you every step of the way.
Vielka earned her Master of Arts degree from Webster University and holds both a Master of Arts and a Bachelor of Science in Social Psychology from Park University. Her academic training, combined with her lived experiences, allows her to support clients with both professional expertise and deep empathy.

Jessica Calvert, MS, CYMHS, ASDI, LPC - Associate

Is there anything more beautiful than light shining from someone’s eyes—the kind that says, I’m hopeful, at peace, and happy? I believe we’re all searching for more light. For many, it’s the kind that breaks trauma, weakens anxiety and depression, and brings healing to strained relationships. It’s a hope-filled light that reminds us darkness doesn’t last forever.
Some of the best guides are those who’ve walked through darkness themselves. I’m one of them. By God’s grace and with the help of others, I found light and learned to strengthen it—and now I help others do the same.
I work well with clients of all ages, and have a focused interest in helping children, teens, and families develop strong foundations and practical tools for growth. Every family has the potential to thrive, but sometimes we need extra support to get there.
As a counselor, wife, and parent of an autistic child, I bring both professional insight and personal understanding to the work I do. I’d consider it a privilege to walk alongside you as you build greater resilience, clarity, and connection.
Jessica holds a Master of Science in Counseling from Hope International University and is a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPCA) in the state of Texas. She is also a Certified Youth Mental Health Specialist (CYMHS) and a Certified Autism-Informed Professional (ASDI).
Her clinical experience includes supporting individuals and families impacted by trauma, addiction, and harmful coping patterns. Before becoming a counselor, Jessica worked as a preschool teacher, learning to speak the beautiful (and often hilarious) language of young children.

You made it.
Let’s pause to acknowledge the courage it took to get here. Starting therapy—especially for the first time—can feel intimidating, overwhelming, or even a little scary. And still, you showed up. That matters. Reaching out for support is a powerful step toward healing, growth, and showing up for yourself in new ways.
Life is complicated. Often, we carry stress, pressures, fear, doubt, and coping habits that no longer serve us. Maybe you’ve learned to put on a brave face or keep things to yourself because it feels safer. You might feel stuck, disconnected, or like you’re holding everything together for everyone else.Therapy is a space to set that weight down, slow down, and explore your experience with more curiosity, clarity, and care.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief and loss, burnout, life transitions, relationship challenges, and trauma. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns they’re ready to shift. Some are simply carrying more than they can manage alone.
My approach is person-centered, solution-focused, and trauma-informed. I see therapy as a collaborative partnership. You bring your lived experience; I bring tools, perspective, and a space where you can feel fully seen without pressure to perform. You don’t need to have it all figured out to begin. Together, we’ll explore what’s working, what’s not, and what healing could look like for you.
I’m actively expanding my work with athletes and professionals in high-performing roles. The same drive that fuels your success can make it hard to rest, ask for help, or acknowledge your own needs. Whether you’re navigating injury, burnout, performance anxiety, or figuring out who you are beyond your role, therapy is a space where you don’t have to perform. You get to show up fully, just as you are, and reconnect with yourself in a more grounded, authentic way.
I strive to create a space that feels warm, real, collaborative, and empowering—where curiosity, humor, and self-compassion are always welcome.
