Licensed therapist. Founder. Dedicated to making quality mental health care accessible to everyone.

Varissa Owens is the founder of two ventures dedicated to expanding access to quality mental health care: Your Journey to Healing, PLLC, a virtual group counseling practice, and Anchor Health, a mental wellness app designed for underserved populations.

​

She is a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (in Texas and Missouri) a National Certified Counselor, a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, and a Certified Anger Management Specialist with graduate training from Texas Wesleyan University and Argosy University. The practice she built reflects how she believes therapy should work: quality care, clear structure, and a genuine commitment to the people she serves.

​

With a Master's degrees in counseling and human services, a commitment to evidence-based practice, Varissa has spent her career in direct clinical work—from crisis intervention and community mental health to private practice supervision. Her experience has revealed a critical gap: too many people lack access to affordable, timely mental health support.

​

Driven by this insight, Varissa founded Your Journey to Healing as an innovative clinician-led group practice model that prioritizes both therapist sustainability and client care quality. She's built a Fort Worth-based virtual practice with a team of licensed counselors, thoughtful contractor partnerships, and comprehensive clinical oversight.

​

Through Anchor Health, she's extending this mission further—creating a technology bridge that helps people track their wellness, access self-guided tools, and connect with professional support when needed. The app reflects her core belief: mental health care should be accessible, affordable, and empowering.

Varissa's work is rooted in clinical expertise, regulatory integrity, and a genuine commitment to meeting people where they are in their healing journey.
