Therapists in Texas

Hello, Rene Guillen here! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas and also a retired Texas School Counselor. I help adults of all ages work through anxiety, depression, trauma, or other mental health challenges with work, home, or life issues. I help couples work through family & marriage relationship struggles using evidence-based treatments. I particularly enjoy planning treatments using art therapy when needed or preferred. I've been married for 30 years, was an elite marathon runner, and I am passionate about helping clients improve their mental health, build meaningful relationships, and live joyful lives. Taking the first step toward improving your mental health is a significant achievement, and I'm here to support you on this journey!

My name is Donn Edgington. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas. I am a Christian and try to utilize Christian principles in my life and in my sessions. I have 3 Masters Degrees, Education, Human Services, and Professional Counseling. I also have a Graduate Certificate in Non-Profit Management. I have worked with kids and teenagers for most of my professional career in a variety of capacities including Pre-K teacher, House-Parent at several Children's Homes, Foster Care Case Manager, Residential Program Director for a Residential Treatment Center and now as a Professional Counselor. In many of these positions I worked with kids and families who had been through severe trauma. I have most recently been working in a Domestic Violence Center that was part of a Children's Advocacy Center (CAC) where I worked with survivors of Domestic Violence and Childhood abuse including neglect and sexual assault. I look forward to working with you and helping you navigate what you are going through. Thank You for considering me.

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.

Hi, I'm Steal, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I provide individual, couples, and family therapy to clients residing in Texas and have served clients of all ages for several years, for anxiety, trauma, insomnia, OCD, grief, depression, and relationship challenges. My background includes psychology research (co-authored two published research articles, presentations, peer reviews), studying philosophy (consciousness, existentialism, and ethics), administering psychological tests (intelligence, personality), and suicide risk assessment and safety planning. Some more personal things about me are that I am constantly seeking learning through research, reading, and various forms of study in topics ranging from quantum physics to philosophy. I love finding out more things about the world and about the second most important thing I love doing, is watching movies. I love digging deep into movies no one has ever heard of, to explore the unknown.

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 am a Licensed professional counselor from Texas. I received my masters in Mental Health Counseling at the University of Mary-Hardin Baylor in 2018. I have done work in the individual setting, with probation clients and in the prison population. I have worked with people through anxiety, depression, existential angst, identity formation, communication issues, children, adolescents, couples, and groups. I have an undergraduate degree in Director of Christian education with an emphasis in theology from Concordia University in Austin. Through my experiences in these areas my goal is to connect with people in an authentic way. Having someone to navigate through the troubles can be a game changer and I invite you to come as you are!

Deciding to seek help and be vulnerable with someone new can be daunting, but I am here to help make that an easier experience.

By learning about you and how you got here I will individualize treatment to best help you evolve into who you aim to be. I enjoy working with men, women and adolescents, specializing in areas such as trauma, self-worth, anxiety, depression and attachment.

My name is Graham Maxey. I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor since 1983, after graduating from the University of Houston/Clear Lake with a Master of Arts in Behavioral Science. I had noticed for many years that the primary problems people experienced in life were mainly due to living in a space of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that were "too small" to accommodate their well-being or their enjoyment in living. My goal as a counselor has always been to help clients "widen" the spaces they live in and let them have fuller access to all that their lives actually can provide for them.

Do you fear your relationship with your partner is losing its spark? Maybe you fear you’re losing them or that you’re not loveable, or maybe that you’re not good enough. Getting to the root cause of this can be scary, yet extremely beneficial. Whether its trauma from childhood or an experience as an adult, or perhaps from something you may not remember, our life experiences influence our current wellness and how we interact with others. At times, it can seem as if we’re all alone and that no one understands us. But when you come to therapy, you’ll have a safe space to heal and grow. I look forward to hearing from you to see how I could help you as a person, or the both of you as a couple. So if you’ve read this far, why not click and schedule? Hablo muy bien español.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, panic, or emotional stress — or noticing patterns from the past repeating in your relationships — you’re not alone. For many people, unresolved trauma, depression, or anger can quietly shape their thoughts, behavior, and connection to others. These patterns can also affect how they see themselves — leading to self-doubt, low self-esteem, or a sense of never quite being good enough. I’m Manuel Olvera, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas. I specialize in helping adults work through anxiety, trauma (including childhood and complex trauma), depression, low self-worth, and relationship issues so they can feel more in control and at peace. I also welcome working with clients navigating ADHD-related challenges, especially when they intersect with emotional regulation, identity, or past trauma. In therapy, I aim to listen more than I talk. I offer guidance and explain psychological concepts when they’re helpful, but my main focus is creating space for you to express yourself and process what you're feeling. I ask thoughtful questions to help you explore your emotions, physical sensations, and experiences more deeply — and I follow your lead. I use Internal Family Systems (IFS), Brainspotting, and elements of CBT to support healing in both the mind and body. I also help clients explore how past wounds may be affecting current relationships. For couples, I use the Gottman Method and often work with each partner individually in addition to joint sessions — especially when personal trauma is showing up in the relationship dynamic. Whether you’re seeking relief from anxiety, struggling with anger, shutdown, or self-doubt — or feeling disconnected from yourself or the people around you — therapy can help. You don’t have to have all the answers. If you’re ready to start, I’d be honored to work with you.

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 with the state of Texas, USA. I have training and experience in counseling for over 8 years. I accept only clients who I believe have the capacity to resolve their own problems with my assistance. I believe that as people become more accepting of themselves, they are capable of finding peace and contentment in their lives. However, self-awareness and self-acceptance are goals that take time to achieve. Sometimes this may require months or even years. If counseling is successful, you should feel that you are able to face life’s challenges without my support or intervention. However, please be aware that neither I nor any counselor can guarantee that counseling will be successful. Your greatest asset in counseling will be you; the open, honest, real you. If you have any questions or concerns at any point about anything, talk to me. If I do not know the answer, we will work to find it together. Again, authentic communication is welcomed and desired here. Are you ready to get the life you want?

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and reside in Texas, I am also licensed in Colorado, Florida, Utah, South Carolina, and Vermont. I specialize in helping you identify and overcome issues that hinder your day-to-day enjoyment of life and/or interfere with progress towards goals you have set. In over thirty years of private practice counseling I have learned to meet clients’ needs not only with continued education and research but also through a multitude of life experiences. I enjoy working with a diverse range of clients and have found that humor when utilized in an appropriate way and time can be very beneficial. I believe trust is a fundamental element in any relationship. This trust has to be developed and nurtured to remain genuine. Through trust other aspects important to the relationship can prosper such as comfort in being open, sincerity, and a willingness to change. I find that humor when utilized in an appropriate way and time can be very beneficial. I am a life-long Texan, however, I have traveled extensively and embraced many different cultures and location specific issues. Through all of life’s changes I have learned that, even with the best of plans, things still do not always work out the way we would like. I have experienced many of the same issues as my clients so can relate to them on a personal basis. This has also allowed me to acquire an understanding of what clients may be going through even if I have not experienced the exact situation. Through any adversity there is no reason to feel alone.

"It's not the mountain that we conquer, but ourselves." - Sir Edmund Hillary As a mental health professional working with children, adolescents, and their families since 2021, an avid hiker for much longer, and a once at-risk teenager, I find that the quote above to reflects challenges we may face with mental health concerns. Sometimes in life, it can feel like you’re climbing uphill, breathing heavily, and hearing your heart thumping in your ears from the effort you’ve put in so far. The path ahead may look steep and winding, which can leave anyone’s internal compass spinning while navigating the path ahead. Like the different trails we can explore in the world, there are different challenges that we may encounter as individuals and families in life. For some, the mountain in their life may be adjusting to transitions in life, grief, or post-divorce, or the trail may challenge them to develop coping skills to manage the overwhelming feelings of anxiety, depression, or trauma. Other’s journeys may be shorter, needing to identify their strengths they can use to meet their challenges in life. On these varied trails, I have enjoyed walking alongside my clients and/or their families to while charting a path towards their goals in counseling. While my counseling approach is eclectic, drawing from strength-based, attachment theory, and solution-focused modalities, I rely on a foundation of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in my work with clients.

Ahoj! I offer bilingual personalized counseling services for adults in Texas. I am a native El Pasoan who enjoys spending as much time with family while also addressing self-care by reading a book, going to the movies, or just playing video games. I grew up around the border between Mexico and the US. Son of Mexican parents so I am fortunate to speak Spanish fluently while also understanding its culture. Choosing a therapist is an important decision so don't hesitate to reach out and address any question even if you are just curious about it.

The human experience is not something that always works based on logic. Our brains are wonderful tools that can occasionally get stuck in a survival mode that leaves us feeling helpless and terrified. We can become stuck logical loops, anxious cycles, helpless before the fear of the unknown, or in a dark depression that stops us from continuing our previous goals and fun hobbies. Our past can be a reason for this. Sometimes it might be recent events at just the wrong time. It can even be a combination of small things that seemed to always shift never going away. My philosophy of treatment is to teach my clients how mind and body work so that they can make their choice in how they choose to live and interact with others. I am trained in EMDR, hypnosis, and IFS and apply all in working with PTSD, trauma, anxiety, depression and for pain management from physical illness. A person's mind is like a garden, cultivated or left to it's own devices it will always grow. When carefully tended it is a thing of beauty, but if left alone it is a mess of weeds. In understanding the thoughts and beliefs you have about the world and how you can shape them, you can learn to thrive. With a new perspective you can change everything.
