At the heart of this practice is a commitment to counseling in a spirit of compassion, grace, and integrity, grounded in Christ-centered care. We honor each client’s journey by combining evidence-based therapy with faith-informed support, fostering hope, resilience, and meaningful change. We believe that meaningful connection—within the therapeutic relationship and in clients’ lives—fosters healing, growth, and lasting transformation. Clients of all faith backgrounds, and those with no religious affiliation, are welcome, and services are always respectful of each individual’s beliefs and values.
Why Doule ?...
In Ancient Greek, δούλη (doule) means a female servant, bondwoman, or maidservant, essentially a female slave, derived from the word doulos (slave/servant). The modern term doula for childbirth support comes from this root, symbolizing a woman dedicated to serving another, as seen when Mary called herself a "doule" of the Lord in Luke 1:38, signifying total devotion, not necessarily forced servitude.
Guided by Christ’s love, we are committed to walking alongside individuals and families as they seek healing, restoration, and hope. It is our privilege to create a safe, grace-filled space where emotional and spiritual growth can occur, honoring each person’s story while supporting meaningful, lasting change.

Graziela Solomon, LPC, RPT™
Hi, I’m Graziela Solomon, a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Play Therapist in Texas. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of North Texas and my Master of Science in Counseling from Southern Methodist University. I am certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Play Therapy, and SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions).
I take a compassionate, whole-person approach to therapy, meeting each client where they are with empathy, respect, and curiosity. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where children, teens, and adults feel seen, heard, and empowered to explore their experiences, heal from past wounds, and grow into meaningful, lasting change.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, and exploring different cultures. Originally from Brazil, I deeply value diversity and the richness it brings to both life and the therapeutic relationship. This perspective allows me to approach therapy with openness, cultural sensitivity, and a genuine appreciation for each client’s background and lived experience.
