Welcome to Affinity Counseling Connections, where we believe everyone deserves access to quality mental health care. Our specialized online therapy services are designed to meet you exactly where you are in your mental health journey. With sessions starting at just $120, we’re committed to making professional counseling accessible to all Texans.
At Affinity Counseling Connections, our mission goes beyond providing therapy—we’re committed to transforming how mental healthcare is delivered and experienced in Texas. We believe that everyone deserves access to quality mental health support, regardless of income level or life circumstances.
Founded by Tamesha Sowell, LPC, our practice offers a standard private rate of just $120 per session—significantly lower than the industry average—with sliding scale options starting at $85 for those who qualify. This pricing structure reflects our core belief that financial constraints should never prevent someone from receiving the mental health support they need.
What truly sets Affinity Counseling Connections apart is our specialized expertise in working with teens, women, and individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We recognize that these populations often have unique needs that require tailored therapeutic approaches, and we’ve developed specific methodologies to address these needs effectively.
Our commitment extends beyond individual care; we actively support organizations working to increase mental health awareness, reduce stigma, and break down cultural barriers in Texas communities. By fostering understanding and open conversations around mental health, we contribute to creating a more supportive environment for all.

The Affinity Counseling Difference
Accessible Care: We believe quality mental healthcare should be available to everyone. Our affordable rates and sliding scale options make therapy accessible without compromising on quality.
Specialized Expertise: Our focused experience working with teens, women, and individuals with ID/DD means we understand the unique challenges these populations face and have developed effective approaches for addressing them.
Convenient Online Sessions: Our telehealth platform allows you to connect with your therapist from the comfort and privacy of your own space, eliminating travel time and making it easier to fit therapy into your busy schedule.
Personalized Approach: We recognize that every client is unique, which is why we tailor our therapeutic approaches to your specific needs, preferences, and goals rather than applying a one-size-fits-all methodology.
Cultural Sensitivity: We honor the diverse backgrounds, beliefs, and experiences of our clients and strive to provide culturally responsive care that respects your unique perspective.
Practical Solutions: While we value insight and understanding, we also emphasize practical strategies and tools you can implement in your daily life to create meaningful change.
