HI! NICE TO MEET YOU!
Hi! My name is Dr. Colby Walters. I received a Bachelor’s degree from Baylor University in psychology, with a minor in sociology in December of 2008. I graduated with my Masters of Science degree in Human Services with a specialization in Marital, Couple, and Family Therapy in June of 2014. Along with this degree, I also obtained a post-baccalaureate certificate in Contemporary Theory in Mental Health Service and a certificate in Contemporary Theory in Couple and Family Systems. In November of 2017, I completed my PhD in Advanced Studies of Human Behavior from Capella University. I am an active member of the counseling honor society, Chi Sigma Iota, Chi Upsilon Chapter as well as a member of the Capella University Marriage and Family Therapy Advisory Board.
I worked at the Advocacy Center for Crime Victims and Children advocating and working with trauma related survivors. I completed a trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) collaborative with the State of Texas. Additionally, I am trained and have my certificate in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) and am now a consultant for EMDR clinicians. I have been counseling since 2012 and have loved every minute of it.
The majority of my cases have been centered around depression, PTSD, anxiety, relationship issues, and emotional, physical, and sexual abuse. I am a compassionate and laid back counselor. I treat everyone with respect and without casting judgement. Seeking help is the biggest step towards healing— let me help you!

Hello, I’m Tania Olivarri. I am a bilingual therapist that works with children ages 3-14 years old. Some children I’ve worked with have experienced anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress symptoms, ADHD, autism, mood disorders, and challenges with their behaviors. As a play therapist, I want to provide the utmost care to every client. I want to first take a moment to appreciate your endeavor of seeking help. I am very aware that situations that lead people to seek counseling can also sometimes be the most trying experiences for them.
I received my Bachelor’s of Science in Psychology and a Master’s in Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling through Tarleton State University. During my practicum and internship semesters, I worked at a private practice and a central TX elementary school. I have learned valuable skills to use on my clients. I have also completed advance play therapy courses and earned several clinical hours towards my registered play therapy certification.
I practice from a client-centered approach where I allow the client to lead their sessions. Dr. Landreth said, “In play therapy, toys are viewed as the child’s words and play as the child’s language.” In the playroom, I have witness incredible bravery, compassion, and trust. I do this now, because I know the power of psychotherapy and I would love the opportunity to share it with my clients.
