A space to feel understood, reconnect with yourself, and grow.
Sometimes life looks manageable from the outside, even when it feels very different on the inside.
You may be navigating anxiety, feeling disconnected from yourself, struggling in relationships, or carrying experiences that continue to shape how you see yourself and the world.
Perhaps you’ve spent years being the responsible one, anticipating everyone else’s needs, or pushing through difficult emotions without giving much attention to your own.
Or maybe you’re in a season of change and beginning to question what you want, what you need, and who you’re becoming.
At Sisu Therapy in Keller, TX, I provide compassionate, individualized therapy for adults and older teens ages 16 and up.
My approach is relational, attachment-focused, and grounded in the belief that meaningful change begins with feeling understood.
Whether you’re seeking support for anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, relationship difficulties, or life transitions, therapy offers a space to explore your experiences, understand patterns, and develop a more connected relationship with yourself and others.
Strength to heal. Space to grow.
Therapy isn’t simply about managing symptoms or learning how to cope with difficult feelings.
While practical tools and strategies are an important part of the process, meaningful change can also come from understanding the experiences, relationships, and beliefs that have shaped how you move through the world.
You may recognize patterns in yourself that are difficult to change, even when you understand them intellectually.
Perhaps you struggle to set boundaries, feel responsible for others’ emotions, or find yourself repeating familiar relationship dynamics.
Maybe you’re highly capable and independent but have difficulty asking for support, recognizing your own needs, or allowing yourself to be vulnerable.
These patterns often develop for understandable reasons.
At Sisu Therapy Texas, we approach them with curiosity rather than judgment.
My work integrates evidence-based therapy with psychodynamic, attachment-focused, and relational perspectives. Together, we explore both what you’re experiencing today and the deeper patterns that may be contributing to your struggles.
The goal isn’t to become a different person. It’s to better understand yourself and create more freedom in how you think, feel, and relate to others.
You don’t need to be in crisis or have a formal diagnosis to benefit from therapy.
Sometimes people seek counseling because something specific has happened. Other times, they recognize that familiar ways of coping no longer seem to be working.
You might consider therapy if you’re experiencing:
Therapy can also be a place for personal growth, self-discovery, and developing a deeper understanding of yourself.
You don’t have to know exactly what’s wrong to begin.
I’m Karman, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Supervisor and the founder of Sisu Therapy.
My professional background includes more than a decade of experience in crisis counseling, school-based mental health, child welfare, and private practice.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, and significant life transitions.
My approach integrates evidence-based interventions with psychodynamic, attachment-focused, and relational perspectives.
I’m particularly interested in helping people understand how their experiences have shaped their sense of self, emotional needs, and relationships.
I believe therapy works best when it feels like a genuine relationship grounded in trust, curiosity, and mutual respect.
My role isn’t to tell you who you should become. It’s to help you better understand yourself, recognize patterns that may no longer serve you, and create meaningful changes in your life.
Sisu is a Finnish word that represents perseverance, resilience, and inner strength.
To me, that strength isn’t always about pushing through or doing everything on your own. Sometimes it means allowing yourself to be supported, making space for difficult emotions, or discovering a different way forward.
I provide individual counseling for adults navigating emotional challenges, relationship difficulties, and important life transitions.
My approach is tailored to your needs and draws from both practical, evidence-based interventions and deeper insight-oriented work.
Anxiety isn’t always obvious. Sometimes it looks like overthinking, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or constantly anticipating what might go wrong.
Anxiety therapy can help you understand patterns of worry, build tolerance for uncertainty, and develop greater confidence in your ability to navigate challenges.

Brainspotting is a brain-body-oriented therapeutic approach that uses focused eye positions and awareness of internal experiences to support emotional processing.
I may incorporate Brainspotting when clinically appropriate, particularly when difficult experiences or emotions feel challenging to access through conversation alone.

The later teenage years are a time of significant emotional, relational, and personal development.
Older teens are navigating academic expectations, changing relationships, increasing independence, and important questions about identity and the future.
I provide individual therapy for teens ages 16 and up, offering a supportive space to explore anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and life transitions.
My work with teens emphasizes trust, collaboration, and respect for their developing independence.
Drawing from my background in school-based mental health and crisis counseling, I understand the importance of creating a therapeutic relationship where young people feel heard rather than judged or pressured.
I also recognize the important role parents play and work to balance appropriate family involvement with the privacy teens need to feel comfortable opening up.
Online therapy works well for many people, but there is something different about sitting in the same room with someone who is fully present with you. Clients who choose in-person counseling in Keller often experience:

My approach to counseling in Keller, TX, is collaborative, compassionate, and individualized.
Depending on your needs, our work may incorporate:
I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach.
