Therapists in Texas

20 Years in the Trenches. No Fluff. Just Results. "I’m not your typical therapist, and I’m okay with that. I wear my history on my sleeves and my philosophy in my name: Rugged + Regulated. For the last 20 years, my career has been defined by working where the work is hardest. From years of navigating the complexities of the foster care system to training organizations on how to handle trauma without breaking, I’ve learned one universal truth: You cannot think your way out of a problem you behaved your way into I am a Texas-based therapist who believes in self-sufficiency. I don't want you to be in therapy forever. I want to give you the DBT and ACT tools you need to regulate your own nervous system, set your own goals, and build a future that looks the way you want it to look. If you’re looking for a safe space to be exactly who you are—tattoos, metal music, motorcycle gear, and all—you’ve found it. Let's get to work."

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

You are not alone. I provide a safe, warm and friendly environment for growth and healing. You may need support in family life transitions, a parent-child relationship, peers groups, marriage, divorce, social issues, academic challenges or behavioral issues. While we are working together, I take a collaborative approach to help you to achieve your goals and overcome the challenges you're facing in life. I am here to support and empower you on your personal journey.

Welcome my friends. I’m a combat veteran and retired Army officer, a devout Christian, husband, father, grandfather, and experienced clinical psychologist. I want to get into the root causes of your battle and find ways to overcome, change, forgive, accept, and move upward toward the light. It may not seem like it, but the darkness will eventually lift, and the light will surely shine again. Life is a battle in the heart, and I humbly accept that I will be in my own battle or someone else’s battle for the rest of my life. Like the weather, our emotions are powerful. Many days the sun shines, but the rains do come and sometimes a destructive storm hits hard (divorce, the loss of a loved one, cancer, suicidal thoughts, et cetera). It's a battlefield. When it comes to the challenge of relationships, so often, it is ego (pride), self-esteem, and powerful emotions at the root of our conflicts. To understand these forces is the key to peace. Let's work through it! I have been honored to be in the field of psychology for 20 years since 2004. Through the years, more than half of my time was in the Army where I primarily worked with soldiers enduring anxiety, depression, trauma, Traumatic Brain Injury, and all the other usual suspects of psychological distress. It is time well spent to analyze our guilt, fear, worry, shame, pain, heartbreak, addiction, identity conflicts, and sorrow. I’ve also worked in the prisons for many years with some extreme situations (i.e., murder, severe mental illness, rape, child molestation, drug kingpins, gang leaders). So, no matter what your circumstances are, never quit and never give up! Survival is a noble plight!

I am a licensed professional counselor and counselor supervisor with a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision.

Hi, my name is Mark. Thank you for considering me as your therapist. It would be my pleasure to get to work with you! I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist; that means that not only do I work with individuals who experience all kinds of mental health challenges, but I also specialize in systemic, or relational therapy - working with couples, families & groups. I am a Presidential Member of the American Association of Christian Counselors. If you want your faith included in your therapy, please let me know; your sessions will be as "spiritual" as you'd like, and no more. I have been providing therapy and counseling since 2016, and most recently worked as the therapy manager for a clinic that has four locations. Though I have worked with all populations (youngest 5 years old and oldest 94), young kids have trouble sitting still in front of a camera. Children under the age of 15 would be better served in an office setting, in my opinion. I have been with my amazing wife for over 35 years now, and have two wonderful adult children. I enjoy sports, music and all kinds of "outdoorzie" stuff. I most of all just enjoy time with my family. Most of my clients profess to sincerely enjoy working with me; I tend to connect with my clients on a deeper level, and in a more meaningful way, than some other therapists. Many say that they or their children work better with me than any other therapist, counselor or doctor they've experienced. I am humbled and immensely grateful for their kind words. I offer my clients a soft place to fall in their hurts and struggles while providing them a firm place to stand in their healing and growth. Always, in a judgment-free way.

Hello! I'm Destiny, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in South Texas. With a passion for empowering individuals to achieve their full potential, I've dedicated myself to providing compassionate and effective therapy. I received my bachelor degree from the University of Iowa and my Master's degree from Our Lady of the Lake University. I believe life can be challenging enough without having to navigate it with anxiety, depression, or intrusive thoughts. I am here to help.

I’ve worked in the mental health field for over 10 years, including residential treatment, correctional facilities, rehabilitation, and community mental health. For the past three years, I’ve been in private practice, helping clients reconnect with themselves, build confidence, and develop tools to navigate life’s challenges. I also love helping people find the resources and supports they need to feel grounded and cared for. Therapy helped me through a tough time in my own life, and that experience drives my passion for helping others. This isn’t just a job for me—it’s something I deeply care about. I offer evening and some weekend appointments because I know life can be busy. Whenever you’re ready, let’s take that next step together and start creating the changes you’ve been hoping for.

Welcome to a journey of self-discovery and healing! I believe that the mind, body, and spirit must work together for us to become our best and most beautiful selves. Sometimes life’s journey can feel like one obstacle after another. We will challenge self-defeating beliefs, unhealthy addictions, and self-defeating patterns of behavior. Depression, anxiety, trauma, etc have a way of interfering with day-to-day living and blocking us from peace and happiness. But there is HOPE. The process of healing can be difficult, so my intent is to walk with my clients through every step on their way to healing. By employing evidence based therapeutic approaches and intervention strategies, my goal is for my clients to become the very best version of themselves!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 15 years of experience in the mental health field. I focus on providing compassionate, client-centered therapy to individuals facing a range of mental health challenges. My approach is rooted in humanistic principles, where I believe in the inherent potential of every person to grow, heal, and thrive when given the right support. With specialized training and years of hands-on experience, I work with clients to help them set and achieve meaningful goals that promote emotional well-being, personal growth, and long-term success. The clients I serve come from diverse backgrounds, and I tailor my therapeutic approach to meet their unique needs. Whether it's addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, or relationship issues, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to explore their feelings and experiences. I empower clients to take an active role in their healing process, guiding them toward greater self-awareness and resilience. Through our work together, I aim to have a lasting impact on my clients' lives by helping them develop healthier coping strategies, improve their relationships, and find fulfillment in their personal and professional lives. I believe that through a collaborative, empathetic, and strengths-based approach, individuals can overcome even the most challenging obstacles and create meaningful, lasting change. My goal is to inspire and support my clients on their journey to living their most authentic and empowered lives.

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. When working with couples and families, I utilize Family Systems Therapy, Structural Therapy, Strategic Therapy and Transgenerational Therapy approaches as treatment modalities. I am also Gottman Level I certified and enjoy utilizing the Gottman Approach when working with couples.

“It’s not the load that breaks us down, but the way we carry it.” — Anonymous Life can get heavy, even when we’re doing our best to stay strong. But the truth is, we’re not meant to carry it all alone. God invites us to lay our burdens down and trust that He can bring peace, clarity, and renewal where we feel weary or weighed down. In our work together, we’ll unpack the load you’ve been carrying — exploring the beliefs and thought patterns that may be keeping you stuck — and replace them with truth, hope, and grace. My approach integrates faith, reflection, and evidence-based practices to help you realign your mind and spirit with God’s promises and purpose for your life. I support adults, couples, families, and groups who are navigating emotional imbalance, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship conflict, anger, and seasons of personal or spiritual growth. My professional background includes experience in the juvenile justice system, battered women’s shelters, psychology, and public education — all of which have deepened my faith in God’s power to heal and restore what’s been broken. During therapy, I help clients identify their God-given strengths, release unhealthy thought patterns, and develop faith-centered strategies for peace and purpose. Together, we’ll create space for healing that not only transforms your thinking but also strengthens your relationship with God and others. So, I ask you — are you ready to unpack and let God lighten your load?

Are you searching for someone to listen to you? For many years, I have heard over and over, “Thank you, I have just been wanting someone to listen to me”. I have always felt led to just sit and listen when someone opens up and spills their heart to me. I have been a licensed social worker for 30 + years, working with clients in healthcare settings and case management. In addition to being a licensed social worker, I completed graduate school and met a lifelong dream of becoming a licensed professional counselor in 2022. I have worked with the senior population in skilled, nursing, private homes, and inpatient physical rehabilitation for 30 years. This brought me to not only work directly with the senior population, but also their family members to provide the love and support needed to get through life's challenges and circumstances. I have gained experience in helping work through stress, anxiety, depression, family dynamics, job loss, marital problems, physical limitations, and/or disabilities, as well as long-term life-altering situations. I am a wife, a mother of two young adult children, a mother-in-law, a grandmother, a sister, and a daughter myself. My own life experiences help to ground me while supporting others. I understand and know how family dynamics affect an individual’s physical and emotional health in all aspects of their daily lives. I am trauma-informed. I understand and realize that traumatic experiences (no matter when they happened in life) can follow us down the road when we don't even realize it is happening. Once a client understands how trauma affects their brain function and daily life, they can realize the power they have to make positive change in their lives, where before they may have felt stuck or powerless.

Hi, I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 40 years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges and find a greater sense of balance and fulfillment. My career has taken me through many roles—serving on community mental health boards, directing psychiatric residential programs, and leading clinical teams—all with one goal: to support people in living fuller, healthier, and more connected lives. Since stepping back from full-time leadership roles, I’ve shifted my focus to what I value most—working directly with clients through my online therapy practice. I specialize in supporting young and middle-aged adults, couples, and parents who are facing life transitions, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, addictive habits, or a sense of feeling stuck. My approach combines the practical tools of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with a deeper exploration of the emotional and mental blocks that may be holding you back. I believe healing and growth happen when we align mind, body, and spirit—restoring a sense of inner harmony that allows you to live with more clarity, purpose, and peace. Therapy is a journey, and you don’t have to take it alone. If you’re ready to begin creating positive changes in your life, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. Feel free to explore my website and see how we might work together.

My name is Aleida, welcome to my profile. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes a lot of courage. I want to be the first to commend you for taking this step as I know it is not an easy one. I look forward to getting to know you and forming a strong therapeutic alliance. I am a Bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker Supervisor (State of TX). I am also a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor-Intern, and a Certified Anger Resolution Therapist. I have 9 years of professional experience in mental health, and 20 years overall in medical and mental health case management, training, and education. I have ample experience in helping clients with depression, stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem issues, addictions, trauma, abuse, and anger management among many other mental health issues and disorders. I am very empathetic and my top priority is to create an open and safe environment where my clients can share thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement. I consider myself to be very approachable and easy to talk to, and in my professional interaction display cultural awareness, competence and humility with each and every one of my clients. I recognize and acknowledge my clients as unique individuals, with diverse backgrounds, who may not share commonalities with me. I am always open to learn about my clients background, and by no means will appear to be the expert in their life experience. I want to have my clients feel welcomed and supported through their diverse life stressors. I do not take a cookie-cutter approach to therapy, but instead, focus on my client as an individual, and tailor a therapeutic intervention that will best help my client in feeling supported and heard, while working on achieving their therapeutic goals.

Hi, I’m Carrie Rimato, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist serving clients in the Greater Houston area, including Katy, Texas. My professional journey began in education—I earned my bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education from Houston Christian University (formerly HBU) and spent over a decade teaching in both public and private schools. My passion for helping others grow eventually led me to pursue a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from The King’s University, which I completed in 2018. Since then, I’ve worked with individuals, couples, and families across various settings, including private practice, hospitals, and crisis centers. I take an eclectic, client-centered approach to therapy—drawing from EMDR, CBT, mindfulness, and family systems theory—to provide personalized care tailored to each person’s unique needs and goals. Whether you're working through anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, or relationship issues, my goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel supported, empowered, and heard. Outside the therapy room, I enjoy spending quality time with my family and friends, watching a good movie, and traveling to any beach I can find—my favorite place to relax and recharge.

I am a board-certified, licensed professional counselor with over five years of experience providing compassionate and evidence-based therapeutic care to diverse populations, including adults, couples, seniors, children, and adolescents. My clinical expertise encompasses a range of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, behavioral issues, emotional disturbances, and patterns of neglect. I earned my Master of Arts in Counseling from Webster University, which equipped me with a robust understanding of psychological principles and therapeutic practices. My extensive training has informed my work in a variety of settings, enabling me to tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each client. With over 25 years of experience in the social services field, I have worked with individuals of all ages and backgrounds, including clients with physical and mental disabilities. This breadth of experience has provided me with a comprehensive skill set and a deep understanding of the complexities of human behavior and mental health. My extensive background allows me to assess clients' progress effectively and implement interventions that are both practical and transformative. My treatment approach is rooted in evidence-based practices, primarily Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I am dedicated to teaching clients to recognize how their thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes influence their feelings and actions. By emphasizing self-awareness and cognitive restructuring, I empower my clients to develop healthier coping strategies and improve their overall emotional well-being. I believe that my clients can overcome any obstacles in their way. With a unique perspective and extensive experience in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I have seen firsthand how evidence-based care can lead to long-lasting behavioral changes. My success in practice stems from my passion for helping clients achieve their goals through individualized treatment plans tailored to their specific needs.
