Therapists in Texas

Hi there, I'm Lakesha I’m a Licensed Clinical Therapist and been practicing for 11 years. I provide both short- and long-term therapy. I have worked with all ages and would love to help you meet your goals. I specialize in multiple areas such as managing anxiety, depression, work/life balance, bullying, body dysmorphia/body image issues, personality disorders, parenting issues, stress management, relationship difficulties, woman issues, adjustments to life situations, grief and loss, and anger management.

Hi, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with ten years of experience as a therapist and fifteen years of experience as a Social Worker. My clinical focus has been children and families, but I work with the whole spectrum of individuals. It's my goal to join people where they are as they take their therapeutic journey, learning more about themselves and conquering their fears.

Hi! Do you feel like you can improve your life; relationships, emotional stability, productivity, education, spirituality and health? I am here to guide you to find a balanced life and help you be the best you can be. I will use a whole self approach to address the needs of your mind, body, and spirit. Together we will find your balance by addressing the most pressing issues and continue to push through those obstacles holding you back and keeping you stuck. I am highly trained in research based therapeutic methods and also experienced through my own struggles and victories. I have worked with adolescents and youth for more than 28 years and I have also worked with children, families and adults. I work with the premise of unconditional positive regard towards my clients. The idea that mistakes can be corrected, faults can be forgiven and second chances is what makes us human. I believe in practicing learned skills, setting attainable goals, and celebrating small wins.

I am a licensed psychologist who enjoys working with clients who may be struggling with depression or difficult life situations that have them feeling stuck. I also regularly work with individuals who are experiencing both personal and romantic relationship challenges. I strive to meet clients where they are to begin working toward a value-based life. I am a solution-oriented psychologist and thus work to help clients identify practical solutions and effective strategies to their life situations.

Hi there, I'm Parag. You were not put here on this earth to suffer. You deserve to live your life with happiness and peace of mind. Mental illness and addiction can rob anyone of these precious gifts. When you turn to family and friends for support, often they don't know what to say or how to help. You can end up feeling very alone in the world. No one wants to develop mental illness or addictions. You didn't do anything wrong. Feeling emotionally numb, mentally overwhelmed, or having thoughts like "I just don't want to be on this earth anymore" are not things that people willingly choose for themselves. They are illnesses. We often get sick through no fault of our own. Just like some people get diabetes or heart disease, some people get mental illness. Working over five years in an inpatient psychiatric hospital, I have helped patients overcome symptoms of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, phobias, relationship problems, and self-esteem issues. My approach is to get to know you as a person and work on addressing what is really going on with your mind and your life right now. I know getting therapy can be scary, but I will do everything I can to help you feel heard, understood, and genuinely cared for. Give yourself a chance to have peace of mind again.

Hello there, I'm Heidi. My calling for the past 7 years has been to help young adults who have experienced trauma or major life transitions. I also have experience working with depression, anxiety, grief, loss, and self-esteem. You deserve to be heard and safe while you begin to heal and grow from the struggles and obstacles you have faced. Together, we will explore what is not working for you, and help you find ways to cope, manage, and restore balance to your life. My approach draws on your strengths, evidence-based techniques, and providing helpful resources for you. I'm here to meet you where you are and work at your pace. Let's work alongside one another to meet your goals!

I realize that every individual is unique; therefore, I tailor my treatment plans for each client’s needs. I will carefully blend psychological and/or spiritual concepts to help foster your emotional well-being. I meet you at your point of need. I treat all people, regardless of age, race, gender, religion, ethnicity, socio-economic status, etc. with respect, empathy and acceptance. I believe in the power of positive engery which I pass on to my clients.

I approach clients with the an open mindset, looking to explore what the client needs and what they want for themselves. I always want my clients to know there is no judgement from me in their decisions, EVER. I view everyone's mistakes as us just being human and having a human experience. This practice of examining our human journey and what motivates us to do the things we do is extended to myself, my clients and my children/family. I often attempt to have the practice of asking myself "why did I do that? Did I do that because of this or because I was feeling blank?" I think it is important to help others get to the place where they ask themselves the same type of questions. We're all here just having human experiences!

I'm a therapist dedicated to helping clients achieve lasting transformation by integrating mental, spiritual, and physical wellness. I work with individuals who are ready to break through limiting beliefs, develop healthier coping strategies, and build resilience from the inside out. I love seeing clients grow from the inside out. My approach empowers clients to not only heal but to thrive—mentally strong, spiritually grounded, and physically energized.

I am widowed and understand and identify transition and end of life issues. I enjoy spending time outdoors and with my pets, family and friends.

Hello, I am an LCSW and have been in practice for 30+ years. I have worked in multiple settings and have learned that no one goes through life without challenges.

Counseling will vary depending upon one’s personality, stage of life, strengths or particular concern. Getting started can feel overwhelming. You have no idea where to even begin. You’ve been putting off therapy because you’re afraid it won’t help. More than anything you’d like to be able to feel happy again. You’d like to be able to put yourself out there more and to create deeper, more meaningful relationships with others. You want to have the courage to be your authentic self without hiding behind a mask.
