Hello! I am so glad you’re here. My name is Shaye Mueller and I am a Counselor, Art Therapist, and practice owner here at Cactus Counseling & Art Therapy.

My goal as your therapist is to help give you time and space to feel like yourself again. The world has gotten a bit crazy right? You deserve a grounded and nonjudgmental place to come to for relief from the chaos. After all, some of the best medicine for our hearts is being accepted, understood, and loved. That’s why I do this work and why I believe its important to show up for my clients with warmth and authenticity. Clients have described my style as playful, friendly, and deeply caring.

My clients are typically women in their 20’s, 30’s, and 40’s. But I welcome anyone to reach out and see if we click! My experience involves working with people from all walks of life, and all are welcome. Specifically, I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, perinatal mental health, relational issues, cycle breaking, and life transitions.

My style of therapy has evolved over time to move past traditional therapy. I add both creative and body-focused approaches into treatment- but don’t worry! These are not required for us to work together. My philosophy is that safety and comfort are the #1 priority- we will always go at your own pace.

My clinical training includes receiving my Master’s in Clinical Counseling: Art Therapy from Adler University in 2022. I hold my ATR credential with the Art Therapy Credentials Board and am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas. I have been featured in Forbes Health as a qualified expert in Art Therapy Counseling. Alongside my credentials, I have two years of post graduate training in Somatic Experiencing, a trauma focused healing modality. Supervised by Jennifer Gonzalez LPC-S.
