Therapists in Texas

Hello everyone! Life can throw us curveballs, right? Sometimes we can pinpoint what's causing our stress or sadness, but other times, we feel lost and can't seem to understand what's bothering us. Sounds familiar? That's okay! That's where I come in as a counselor. My goal is to create a warm, open space where you can explore your feelings and thoughts without fear of judgment. It's totally normal to feel a bit nervous about seeking help – after all, it's not every day that we open up about our deepest fears or worries. But remember, you're not alone in this journey. Whether you're working through anxiety, self-doubt, or a desire for personal growth, my approach blends evidence-based tools with genuine connection to help you reclaim your story and move forward with confidence. My aim is to help ease the symptoms, but more importantly, to help you build a solid foundation so you can face life's challenges head-on. The goal of our sessions? To nurture positive change, reduce feelings like anxiety, anger, guilt, and shame, and ultimately help you navigate life with more clarity, peace, and well-being.

With over 18 years working with At-Risk Teens/Adolescents and 5 years as a Therapist, I have created a multidisciplinary intervention and treatment process that specializes in teen/adolescent behavioral health. Iam energetic, unbiased, and truly care about the well being of my clients and their families. I am considered an accountability therapist who pushes clients to become the best versions of themselves. ​

When important moments are interrupted by thoughts or emotions, getting through the day can be a challenge. I have the ability to find the root cause and present the issue in an easy to understand way with structure for a solution. I have been practicing licensed for 12 years. I help people find resolution to some of life's biggest challenges. I am a problem solver.

"Hi there, I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Texas, and I've been helping people navigate life's ups and downs since 2018. Whether you're feeling burnt out, stressed, or facing big changes, I'm here to lend an ear and offer support. Dealing with overwhelming sadness or anxiety? You're not alone—I'm here to help with that too. And for those in the military or first responder community, I understand the unique challenges you face, and I'm here to provide a safe space to work through it all. If you're ready to take that step towards feeling better, let's connect and start this journey together."

My name is Maudlyn Howell-Nwaogwugwu. I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Texas. I obtained my master's degree in counseling psychology in 2005 and my bachelor’s in psychology/sociology in 1996. I have worked inpatient, outpatient, and currently in private practice. I have experienced trauma in my life that has shaped the foundation of this ministry of help and the direction of my life. I am a scientist of the soul and passionate about your reservoir of truth. I am a servant called to the ministry of help. I am an experienced therapist dedicated to helping you overcome your anxiety, depression, and anger and looking at your traumatic events through new eyes. In other words, I help you develop and create new glasses. A portion of Jeremiah 8:22 says, "Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then is there no healing for the wound of my people...". I am not a physician but I consider myself a scientist of the soul. Most often on our journey home, we have experienced moral, soul, financial, spiritual, physical, biological, psychological, emotional and mental injuries to name a few. But, how do we navigate to find Shalom, aka "peace" to live the life we were created for? We often feel trapped in life's puzzle. So, take a moment and let's talk!

I am here to help you take off the mantle of other people and wear your cloak, then, you can be free to be you. A scientist with a niche for trauma, depression, mood and anxiety. I am here to walk with you, talk with you and listen to you.  I am EMDR trained.  I see EMDR as the Holy Spirit in action, cleaning and emptying the temple of all unnecessary clogs and/or blockages. In other words, the roof on a house needs a roofer to clean out the drainage allowing the water to flow freely

You are not defined by the words of others, but you are defined by your Creator. You are a Designer original. There is no one like you in all the earth. Welcome Home!

It’s time to focus your energy on things that will push you toward success. Life doesn’t have to be a constant balancing act. You can have peace. Facing anxiety in one or more areas of your life? Constantly worrying about the future, consistently feeling “on-edge” and easily irritated? Frustrated with where you are in your career and wanting more? Having trouble creating and sticking to boundaries and goals? Struggling to maintain healthy relationships? It’s time to take control of your emotions. Ready to finally manage your anxiety once and for all, so you can start enjoying the life? Don’t continue to settle for less. You don’t have to stay stuck. I specialize in helping you manage your anxiety and break through negative barriers that prevent you from reaching your goals. If you want positive results in your life and finally want someone to walk you through the emotions you’re experiencing, i’m your person. My experiences paired with my 10+ years of training and education has equipped me with evidenced-based tools needed to support you on your mental health journey.

I love working with clients who are dedicated and ready to be honest and take responsibility for their role in their lives. My therapeutic style is anti-therapist-y (more relaxed and less like traditional therapy). I want our conversations to feel like you're talking to a skilled friend. My approach is tailored to your needs and what will best support you. I am especially passionate about creating a space for exploration and healing for people of color and those with intersectional and marginalized identities.

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.

Hi, I'm JoAnn. A client once said to me "I feel so heavy, everyday, it's like I'm swimming in mud". Many times people feel this way but they don't really know why.

My mission is to provide a safe and nurturing environment where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences with guidance. Whether you're facing challenges related to relationships, stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, or any other issues, I am here to help. I understand that seeking counseling can be a significant step towards positive change, and I am committed to providing personalized support to empower you to overcome obstacles, develop coping skills, and cultivate resilience.

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and I'm here to support you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery. As a therapist, I see my role as a collaborative facilitator of change. I believe that people are relational beings with physical, spiritual, emotional, and social components. The exploration and integration of these aspects can be life changing and enhancing. In addition, I seek to connect all facets of a person's world (the family they grew up in, their gender, faith, culture, education, age, etc.)

My practice is located in Portland, Texas. Much of my work focuses on trauma. This ranges from car accidents, to childhood trauma, to abusive relationships, combat veterans and PTSD. I respect my client's opinions on their treatment and work closely with them in treatment planning. I love it when clients share resources with me that have helped them outside of sessions, whether that be podcasts, books, etc. I work to incorporate these things into treatment. I'm very skilled at meeting a client where he or she is at, and I have a talent for coaching clients through the difficult parts of treatment to continue making progress and not become "stuck."
