Meet Our MFT Graduate Interns

Deborah Sarmir

Currently accepting new clients

I’m a Marriage and Family Therapy Student Intern specializing in LGBTQIA+ identities and polyamorous relationships. As someone who is AuDHD and neurodivergent, I bring a lived understanding of neurodiversity to my work and welcome clients who identify as neurodivergent themselves. My approach is affirming, inclusive, and grounded in the belief that all relationship structures and identities deserve respectful, informed care.

I strive to create a space where clients can explore their relationships, identities, and mental health in a way that honors their unique experiences and values. Whether you're navigating open relationships, gender exploration, or the challenges of living in a world not built for neurodivergent minds, I’m here to support you with compassion and authenticity.                                 

Breanna Henderson

Currently accepting new clients

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, my heart is in helping individuals, couples, and families find their way through life’s challenges with kindness, understanding, and hope. I believe healing happens in the spaces where we feel safe enough to be seen and known, both by ourselves and by those we love. Whether walking alongside someone as they navigate relationship struggles, work through past hurts, or step into personal growth, my goal is to create a space where people feel genuinely heard, valued, and supported.

I have a passion for helping people understand what truly makes them who they are. In each session, I strive to show up with empathy, curiosity, and care, holding space for the messy, beautiful work of becoming whole. I hope to help people not just get through life’s hard moments, but to truly thrive in their relationships and within themselves.

Andrea Taylor

Currently accepting new clients

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I want to provide a space where one can feel heard, safe, and cared for. My desire is to ensure that people can fully express themselves for who they are. I seek to understand the person's true self, the one who may not be able to express themselves in certain settings or at all. My passion is to ensure that the person stays at the center, and that we're working together to find solutions to the issues they may face. I seek to help the person evolve into who they want to be. I want to serve as a guide and cheerleader.

I am accepting and affirming of anyone, seeking to understand the entirety of the person. This process may not be the easiest and can get ugly, but going along this journey with support, care, and empathy can help one receive peace, clarity, understanding, and acceptance. I desire to help the person reach this goal, developing healthy, safe, practical tools, and evolving in a safe, compassionate space. 

Masa Alneser

Can accept new clients staring May 5th

I’m currently a graduate student in the Marriage and Family Therapy program at Abilene Christian University. I’m passionate about working with individuals, couples, and families who may be going through difficult moments or life transitions. I strive to create a space where you can feel safe, supported, and truly heard. I understand that opening up is not always easy, and I meet each person with patience, compassion, and care.

I believe therapy is a shared process, and my hope is to walk alongside you as you begin to better understand who you are, your experiences, and your relationships. My goal is to support you in finding clarity, building on your strengths, and moving toward the changes that feel right for you. As an intern, I am grateful for the opportunity to learn and to support clients in ways that feel meaningful and genuine.
