Therapists in Texas

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a strong background in counseling, education, and advocacy. Holding a Master of Education in Counseling and Development from Lamar University and a Master of Education in Educational Administration from Texas A&M Commerce, I have spent over 15 years helping individuals navigate life's challenges and develop the tools they need to thrive. My experience includes counseling children, adolescents, and adults, as well as leading mental health initiatives in schools and communities. I provide individual, family, and group therapy. My approach is rooted in creating a safe and supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. I work collaboratively with clients to help them uncover unhelpful patterns, explore their emotions, and build the skills needed to make lasting changes in their lives. The impact of my work can be seen in the progress made by students overcoming behavioral challenges, parents finding relief from stress, and families strengthening their relationships. I am passionate about fostering personal growth, emotional well-being, and positive change, both in the counseling room and within the communities I serve. With my diverse background, including experience as a counselor, educator, and coach, I understand the importance of mental health in all areas of life. I am committed to helping my clients overcome obstacles, achieve their goals, and build a brighter future.

Hi, I’m Kumalo—a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), behavioral health leader, and Army veteran with more than 20 years of experience helping individuals overcome challenges and reconnect with their strengths. My approach is structured, grounded, and compassionate. I use evidence-based treatments like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and EMDR to support adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and relationship difficulties. I often work with people who juggle high-pressure careers, caregiving responsibilities, or the complex aftermath of trauma—especially military service members and veterans. You might feel stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’re operating on autopilot. Together, we’ll slow things down, clarify your goals, and develop practical strategies for healing, growth, and renewed purpose. Before joining Grow Therapy, I led behavioral health programs across military and correctional settings—designing systems of care that work. I earned my Master of Social Work from Fayetteville State University and am board-certified in Clinical Social Work. Now, I bring that same commitment and structure to every client I serve. If you’re ready to start showing up for yourself the way you’ve always shown up for others, let’s connect. You don’t have to carry it all alone.

I began my counseling journey as an adolescent, and eventually became a school counselor over a decade ago working with elementary to high school aged kids. I quickly learned that school counselors are not able to equip their students with necessary tools and as a result I began to pursue my LPC. As a fully licensed therapist in Texas I value the trust my clients instill in me and together we work to address any and all client concerns to allow them to live their best life.

I am a bilingual therapist, and I am fluent in Spanish and English. As a therapist my primary focus is building a relationship with my clients.

Hello! I am a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience.

You are the expert on your life; my role is to walk with you, offer support, and equip you with tools to navigate challenges and build resilience. My journey into counseling was shaped by my experience as a homeschool mom in an underserved community, where I witnessed firsthand how mental health disparities impact families. I saw the strength and resilience of individuals navigating complex challenges without adequate support, and it inspired me to become part of the solution. With that foundation, I pursued specialized training in perinatal mental health and a career that allows me to center both compassion and justice in care.

My name is Elvira Aleman Vaughan. I am a Christian counselor who works with adults who have depression/anxiety. If you prefer talk therapy I'll use CBT to help you get to the root of the issue.

My professional experience working within counseling has allowed me to become skilled and comfortable in delivering solution focused therapy. My theoretical orientation aligns with Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, however, I hold a strong belief that a counselor should possess technical eclecticism and be comfortable and well-versed in many theoretical orientations and interventions in an effort to accommodate the varying and diverse individual needs of clients. With that goal in mind, I continue to stay immersed in other styles such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy, to name a few, while also maintaining a Humanistic approach at the core of my counseling approach.

While managing my own counseling center, I also served several years teaching graduate students in the areas of counseling and psychology. My joy comes from helping others regain control of life when cognitions, emotions, and behaviors have caused distress. We do not always understand the "why" of life experiences, however we can gain mastery of our thinking, feeling, and doing and continue to enhance functioning and happiness.

Hello, I am a licensed marriage and family therapist in the states of Texas and Tennessee with 30 years of counseling and ministry experience. I began as a minister of the Gospel in the Southern Baptist tradition in 1993 working with the homeless to overcome the struggles of addiction and hopelessness in North Carolina and Tennessee. From there, I became a case manager in a rural oupatient behavioral health clinic helping the chronically mentally ill live independently outside of the institutional settings. As my family of five children grew, my wife encouraged me to join the military in 2007 and for the next 13 years we served alongside our Soldiers and their Families as a chaplain. There, I learned through experience how to work through the stress of multiple transitions, the unyeilding demands for time and energy, and the unjust nature of toxic environments. I learned how to support those who wanted to strengthen themselves and their relationships in these environments and to ultimately be at peace with who they are and who they want to be. As I have matured in my training and become licensed in marriage and family therapy, I have found that I now specialize in using Solution Focused therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help individuals identify their strengths and the beliefs that are guiding their behavior. With this knowledge, people can begin to choose who they want to be.

My journey as a professional counselor for the past two decades has been deeply rewarding. Witnessing the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of therapy has fueled my commitment to this work. Over the years, my expertise in trauma, mood disorders, and life transitions has grown through continuous learning and, most importantly, through the privilege of walking alongside countless individuals on their paths to healing and growth. My foundation in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, coupled with a warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental approach, has shaped my practice and my unwavering belief in the potential for positive change within each person I have the honor to support.

I specialize in couples counseling with a focus on pre-marital and marital counseling. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Texas, I bring a wealth of experience from the mental health field, where I’ve been active since 2018, and specifically in counseling services since 2022. My expertise extends to individual, couples, and group counseling for adults, addressing a wide range of issues including anxiety, pre-marital, marital, and divorce. With a deep passion for counseling, I firmly believe in the power of cognitive and behavioral modifications to help individuals change undesired habits and behaviors. I take great joy in assisting others and witnessing the progress my clients make through our therapeutic work together. I look forward to fostering a meaningful therapeutic relationship with you.

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!

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’m April Nenjerama, a licensed counselor and the owner of Restore Family Counseling.

I believe in empowering my clients to heal, grow, and build stronger, healthier connections in all aspects of their lives. Together, we will work toward restoring balance and peace, focusing on practical solutions tailored to your unique needs.
