Tabitha Carrizales

Child, Couples & Play Therapist in Texas | Telehealth Available

Therapy That Feels Human, Supportive, and Safe

Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially when your child is struggling emotionally, communication in your relationship feels disconnected, or life simply feels heavier than it used to. Therapy should not feel cold or clinical. It should feel like a space where you can breathe, feel understood, and begin reconnecting with yourself and the people you love.

Tabitha Carrizales provides therapy for children, adults, couples, and families with a warm, relational approach grounded in empathy, humor, and authenticity. She believes healing happens best in environments where people feel emotionally safe, genuinely supported, and free to show up as themselves.

She provides therapy services in office as well as via telehealth across Texas.

Child Therapy & Play Therapy in Texas

Working with children is at the heart of Tabitha’s work. She understands that children do not always have the words to explain their feelings, fears, frustrations, or experiences — but they often communicate those emotions clearly through play.

Using play therapy techniques, creativity, storytelling, and connection, Tabitha helps children:

• Express difficult emotions
• Improve emotional regulation
• Process life changes and stressors
• Build confidence and coping skills
• Strengthen communication and attachment

She also values partnering closely with parents and caregivers, offering guidance and support that extends beyond the therapy room and into daily family life.

Helping Couples Rebuild Communication and Connection

Relationships can slowly become overwhelmed by stress, resentment, parenting demands, emotional disconnection, or unhealthy communication patterns. Many couples find themselves feeling more like roommates than partners.

Tabitha works with couples to rebuild emotional connection, strengthen communication, and rediscover the friendship underneath the stress. Her goal is to help both partners feel heard, understood, and supported while creating healthier ways to navigate conflict and reconnect emotionally.

A Warm, Relational Approach to Therapy

Tabitha believes humor and kindness can be powerful tools in therapy. Even in difficult moments, there is room for warmth, compassion, and sometimes laughter. Those moments often help clients feel safer, more open, and more connected during the healing process.

Her style is collaborative, approachable, and grounded in creating meaningful relationships with the clients she serves.

More Than a Therapist

Outside of therapy, Tabitha enjoys creativity, storytelling, and “geek therapy” interests including board games, video games, and fantasy-based worlds that foster connection and problem-solving. Whether it’s a game of Magic: The Gathering or exploring imaginative storytelling, she values the way these spaces help people connect authentically and feel fully themselves.

These interests also help her connect especially well with children, teens, and adults who may feel most comfortable expressing themselves through creativity and shared interests.

Therapy Across Texas Through Telehealth

Tabitha also provides online therapy throughout Texas for:

• Children and adolescents
• Adults
• Couples and families

If you are looking for a therapist who combines warmth, humor, playfulness, and emotional depth in a way that feels approachable and genuine, Tabitha would be honored to support your journey.
