Therapists in Texas

Hi there, I'm Brian. Do you miss feeling on track and working towards your goals? Are you not connecting with those you felt close to, such as your best friends, significant other, or family? Do things just feel a bit off and you need some guidance to get back to being "you"? I meet the client in their environment and empower them to help themselves. A holistic approach to therapy is used, pulling from several different therapeutic beliefs. Every client is different and unique, and therefore the approach to healing follows this same path. We'll discuss your goals up front to know which to direction to work towards, and help you discover new things about your healing and coping along the way. Every person's struggle matters. Therapy is not about gauging whether someone is weak or strong, but building on their already existing strengths to help them find healthy ways to help themselves. Therapy is about discovery. Regardless of your reason for reaching out, I'll help you find the right track. You already have the tools to help yourself, let's work together to find out what they are. I look forward to speaking with you. New Client referrals: https://provider.growtherapy.com/book-appointment?id=2829&ref=prov

After spending 25 years in the legal field, I returned to school to pursue a career in counseling and earned a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from the University of Houston-Clear Lake. My desire to go into counseling stems from my personal experience of witnessing others struggle with mental health issues. I provide individual therapy with both adolescents and adults. My experience includes working in psychiatric hospitals, residential treatment center, and juvenile detention. I help individuals manage their anxiety, stress, depression, and relationship issues. We will work together to identify what is not working and how to improve your overall functioning. During my free time, I enjoy reading about different modalities and interventions for treating trauma and attachment theory. During my free time, I enjoy treasure hunting at thrift stores, gardening, traveling, and spending time with my family and dogs (Witten the lab, Dizzy the Jack Russell, and Beast the mixed breed). You have taken the first step by reaching out to explore the hangups and habits that are holding you back. I look forward to working with you!

Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counsellor (LPC) based in Texas.

Hi—I see you. You are feeling small. Making decisions feels overwhelming and confusing. Your heart has been through it. Some days just getting out of bed feels impossible. You are hopeful that relief is coming but you're not sure how. My approach is down-to-earth and real. I bring warmth, humor, and steady support to our sessions.

I have been a counselor for over 30 years working with a variety of people. Whenever I have done other things I have always found myself missing being a therapist and return as soon as I can!

I'm a therapist and I work with people who have mixed anxiety and depression. Over time, I've noticed a few patterns my client's have in common. See if this fits: you're tired of being your own worst critic. Maybe you've achieved what you're "supposed to" but feel unfulfilled. Or maybe you're stuck while others seem to move forward easily. Either way, you're harder on yourself than anyone else would be. Your mind won't quiet down at night but feels foggy during the day. Simple tasks pile up because they feel overwhelming. You put things off, then beat yourself up for procrastinating. Some days motivation is nonexistent. Other days you're anxious about everything. You've tried apps, routines, and productivity systems. Nothing works long-term because you're working against yourself. You avoid important things because failure feels terrifying. Then you criticize yourself for avoiding them. The cycle keeps repeating. Whether you're a perfectionist or feel like you're falling behind, the internal commentary is harsh. Your relationships suffer because you're distracted by self-judgment. Therapy helps you change that inner dialogue. Learning to treat yourself with basic kindness isn't self-indulgent—it's practical. You don't have to be your own obstacle.

I work alongside my clients to empower them to choose their own future, and find the path to the future within themselves. To empower my clients, I utilize an eclectic approach based on cognitive behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and internal family systems. I received a Masters in Social Work from the University of Texas at Arlington and have worked in both inpatient and partial hospitalization settings as well as private practice for a total of 5 years. I'm a native Texan but I also lived in Chicago for 8 years before moving back to my home state.

I am a licensed independent practice-level clinical social worker. I have dedicated my career to working in behavioral health treatment. I have worked within the Department of Defense Schools in Europe and Asia. I have worked with Active Duty members, Veterans and their families. I have provided clinical supervision within both the Department of Defense headquarters and at the Veteran Affairs hospital, in both inpatient and outpatient settings. Prior to joining the Civilian Service, I practiced mental health within the civilian community, my focus there was substance abuse, domestic violence and and a variety of mental health issues working with adolescents and adults. My strongest ability lies in helping a client identify strengths and weaknesses while guiding them to identify goals and interventions that will work specifically for them. The most challenging part of therapy is believing it will make a difference. The best way to overcome that hurdle is to see successful outcomes. Clinical experience has taught me that if you are willing to do the work, you will see results. Using the appropriate interventions, combined with mutual openness, respect and trust will enable you to overcome obstacles and achieve goals you didn't believe possible. Through years of dedicated work with all age groups, life experiences and extremely challenging circumstances, I have developed a strong sense of commitment in creating a safe and supportive environment that fosters healing, self-awareness and growth.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 15 years of experience supporting individuals through some of life’s most challenging moments. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults navigating a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, addiction and substance use, psychosis, identity development, and everyday stressors. I am passionate about creating affirming, compassionate spaces where every person feels seen, valued, and understood. At the core of my work is a deep belief that everyone deserves care, dignity, and a place where they can show up exactly as they are. I am committed to helping people heal, grow, and advocate for their own well-being. Empowerment and compassion guide my approach, whether I’m supporting someone through acute crisis or helping them build long-term emotional resilience. I completed my Master’s degree in Counseling at the Houston Graduate School of Theology, along with a Master of Divinity. My background in ministry has strengthened my ability to support people through emotional, spiritual, and existential challenges. It has equipped me with the skills to offer steadiness, encouragement, and thoughtful guidance during difficult times while respecting each person’s unique identity, worldview, and lived experience. My therapeutic style is integrative, meaning I draw from several evidence-based approaches to best meet your individual needs. These include person-centered therapy, solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and strengths-based therapy. In practice, this means sessions with me often feel warm, collaborative, and grounded. I honor your story, build on your strengths, and work with you to develop practical tools and new ways of thinking that support your healing and growth.

You do not have to struggle with your thoughts and emotions in silence. A peaceful life is possible no matter what the surrounding circumstances are. We are mostly troubled by our perceptions of the situations around us, not by the situations themselves. Sometimes, our thoughts are the scary part of our story, not our reality. And even when reality gets harsh, our thoughts and the way we see this reality will determine how we feel about it and how much we suffer. I am an LPC who practices mostly cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I share the tools that are not only evidence-based and supported by extensive research but also that I've seen work with me and my clients/patients. Working on our thoughts and behaviors will affect every aspect of our lives, and relationships. We do not have to be a hostage to our unhelpful thoughts, we have tools to work on that. Anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, and relationship troubles are only some of many examples where this kind of therapy can help, and I would like to be that therapist who can help you achieve that change in your life.

I am a licensed professional counselor looking to help others find their full potential by using an eclectic approach to therapy. If you find yourself aimlessly scrolling through profiles in search of an authentic therapist, I may be a great fit for you. I find that being authentic with clients is what helps them build a foundation and feel safe enough to share their issues and concerns. I practice from a person-centered approach while mixing in elements of CBT to help clients guide their treatment while also holding them accountable. I specialize in the use of art therapy to help clients communicate and process various topics that may be difficult to speak about. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, issues with substance abuse, or relationship issues, I'm here to help. Throughout my career in therapy, I have focused on treatment of Veterans, first responders, and those who have experienced trauma. Seeking treatment can be difficult, but if you've already taken this first step in searching for a therapist then you've likely already identified that this is something you can benefit from with the right help. If you've been reading this far and I seem like a good fit for you, let's work together!

Hey everyone! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor. Proud graduate of The University of Georgia and Clemson University. Go Dawgs!!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Dallas, Texas, with a Master's degree in Social Work from The University of Texas at Arlington. Since 2019, I have been in private practice, helping clients navigate life transitions, emotional challenges, and personal growth. Before opening my practice, I gained extensive experience working in mental health within hospital settings, where I developed a strong foundation in providing compassionate and evidence-based care.

I’m a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Houston, Texas with extensive experience in mental health treatment across diverse populations, especially ethnicity, gender, age, religious, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status. My journey in the mental health field began during my undergraduate studies, where I first became involved in victim advocacy. This experience deepened my understanding of social dynamics, (in)justice and human behavior, leading to dual bachelor’s degrees in Sociology and Women’s Studies. While pursuing my graduate degree, I worked at the National Domestic Violence Hotline, further honing my skills in crisis intervention and critical thinking/problem-solving . After earning a Master of Science in Social Work from The University of Texas at Austin, I completed a post-graduate fellowship focused on psychiatric rehabilitation of veterans with severe mental illness. I further advanced my clinical skills when joining The Menninger Clinic staff, where I spent five years specializing in the treatment of business professionals facing mental health crises, young adults navigating the transition into adulthood, and clients experiencing severe mental health challenges, including suicidal ideation. During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, after recognizing the urgent need for increased access to mental health care I established my private practice, Therapy by Ivy, PLLC. Since then I have offered individual telehealth sessions to adult clients seeking to improve their mental health and enhance their lives. In 2023, I expanded my practice to include in-person sessions while continuing to provide telehealth sessions. Based in the Houston Heights area, I am proud to offer flexible session options, accept most major insurance plans, and self-pay sliding fee for the uninsured or underinsured.

My name is Patricia Hernandez, M.Ed., LPC, CSTIP, MBIP. I am fully licensed as an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 3 years of experience helping adults, teens, elderly, children, and families in crisis anywhere in the state of Texas (Ah … the wonderful power of teletherapy!). Most of my life has been spent in Texas, which includes my master’s level counselor training from Sul Ross State University in Uvalde, Texas. I embarked on this journey to provide services to working people of all genders who’ve had trouble fitting in attention to their mental health because of their busy schedules. Virtual therapy allows me to do just that! It offers consistency because it fits the comfort of your home, car, or local park. So, snow, wind, or rain won’t stop us now! All sessions are virtual and I highly recommend you bring along your fur baby, blanket, and favorite beverage to the session.

Hi, I’m Jessica Watson, a licensed professional counselor with over 15 years of experience supporting adults who feel overwhelmed, burned out, or stuck. I’ve worked in hospitals, schools, and neuro-rehab settings, but what matters most is that I offer real, down-to-earth care that meets you where you are. I specialize in helping people untangle anxious thoughts, lift the weight of depression, and better understand how their brain works in a world that doesn’t always make it easy.

Life can be overwhelming at times- let's figure this out together. I am an anti-diet, intersectional, and trauma-informed social worker. I use an individualized approach to support your goals, challenge unhelpful patterns, and empower you to be your own therapist and biggest advocate. I will commit to your experience and my own deconstruction in our work together. Let's get this new chapter started!

I am a licensed clinical social worker based in Houston Texas. I received my Master's in Social Work from Our Lady of the Lake University, San Antonio Texas and have worked with children and families for over 10 years, initially providing case management to children and pregnant women, along with psychotherapy. Lately, my focus has been on young adults dealing with life transitions through careers, relationships parenthood, middle adulthood into flourishing older years

Healing is not always found in a linear path. With every new experience we encounter there is the potential and opportunity for change. Hi, I'm Mayra, thank you for taking the time to considering me as a companion in your therapy journey. Therapy can be a challenge for some people so I like to provide gentle guidance. There is no single way of conducting therapy- everyone needs different approaches, resources and therapeutic support. I strive to help create a safe space for people to explore their identity (cultural, familial, sexual, etc). I have worked in the medical field for almost 20 years in different roles. This has allowed me to gain different perspectives and have a better understanding of the medical community. Having been part of this community has allowed me to serve patients, caregivers, first responders and medical professionals. Most of my adulthood has been spent in Austin and the Hill Country. I am a bilingual first-generation Texan and I’m happy to call Central Texas home. However, I was born and raised in South Texas and la frontera (the borderlands) is also very much part of my identity. I find that our cultures and family of origin at times play a role in how we choose to carry our experiences and expectations.

I am a counselor and a behavior analyst. I combine counseling with applied behavior analysis techniques. While counseling provides new perspectives, personal growth, and self-awareness, behavior therapy can identify and change behavior patterns, and even thinking patterns. Both therapies together can be very effective in meaningful change that lasts. I work with all ages and all individuals.

My name is Jasmine Ricks, and I am a Licensed Therapist in Texas, Virginia, and the District of Columbia. My mission is to empower individuals by equipping them with practical tools, insight, and support that make a meaningful difference in their everyday lives. I’m committed to creating a nonjudgmental, welcoming space where you can show up as you are and explore the challenges and stressors that are impacting your mental health and overall well-being. Together, we’ll work toward greater clarity, resilience, and a stronger sense of self as you move through life.

Accepting new clients! Depression, anger, anxiety, and just trying to figure out how to make it in the world today can be difficult to do alone. My passion is to guide people through this journey to help them find peace in an otherwise chaotic world. If you are ready for change and want to talk to someone that can help you feel grounded and ready to face the world, please reach out to me. I offer counseling utilizing CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) and ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy) principles to produce either positive changes to behavior or peaceful acceptance of things that one cannot change. For clinically less intense, but still troubling problems, I utilize personal coaching techniques and Motivational Interviewing Techniques. If you are dealing with depression, anger, or anxiety and want this type of change in your life then I am here to help. I know that you are probably tired of the struggles that have held you down in the past. It can be exhausting to try and do it alone. I hope that your desire to see something different in your life encourages to take the next step. I am available to talk if you are ready to begin this journey.
