Who We Help
College is supposed to be the best years of your life. For a lot of students it is also the most stressful, and that is worth talking about.

Guiding Growth.
Restoring Hope.
01
Academic pressure, perfectionism, living away from home for the first time, roommate and relationship stress, questions about identity and sexuality, financial worry, and the sense that everyone else has it figured out. Many students also carry anxiety or ADHD that was manageable in high school and is suddenly not.
Young adults are one of the age groups Guiding Hope serves, and high-achieving students and young adults with anxiety are exactly who our team wants to help.
02
Campus counseling centers are valuable, and they often have waitlists or session limits. Online therapy lets you keep working with the same clinician across a semester, over breaks, and when you move between home and campus, as long as you are in Texas during sessions.
Janell Goler is our primary evening and weekend clinician. Ashley Gutierrez also offers evening and weekend telehealth that fits around classes and works with teens and young adults, including LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent clients.
03
Managing anxiety and overthinking, breaking perfectionism loops, building routines that work with how your brain works, exploring identity safely, and handling transitions like graduation and the first job.
Guiding Hope is in network with Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and UnitedHealthcare. Coverage varies from plan to plan, so it is worth confirming your benefits before your first session. If you are out of network, the practice can provide a superbill you may be able to submit for reimbursement.

Guiding Hope is in network with Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and UnitedHealthcare. Coverage varies by plan, and superbills are available for out-of-network reimbursement.
You share a little about what is bringing you in, ask any practical questions, and talk through which clinician may fit. It is a conversation, not a commitment.
Please call 911 if you are in immediate danger, or call or text 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. Guiding Hope offers scheduled outpatient therapy and is not an emergency service.
A free consultation can help you ask questions, share what you are looking for, and consider whether one of our clinicians feels like a fit.
