Therapists in Texas

Hi, I'm Amneris Rosario – I'm glad you're here. Let me guess: You've been thinking about therapy for a while now. Maybe months. Maybe years. But something kept stopping you – too busy, too expensive, "it's not that bad yet," or maybe just the fear of opening up to a stranger who might judge you or not really get it. Here's what I want you to know: You're already doing the hardest part by being here. You don't need to wait until things get worse. You don't need permission to ask for help. And you definitely don't have to figure this out alone. That's literally what I'm here for. As a board-certified bilingual therapist (MS, LMHC, LPC, NCC), veteran, and founder of Time to Talk Mental Health, I've spent over 9 years supporting 700+ clients through trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions that felt impossible. I've worked everywhere from crisis units and corrections facilities to refugee shelters and quiet therapy rooms – supporting people through chronic mental illness, personality disorders, abuse, addiction, ADHD, OCD, and some of the hardest moments of their lives — and here's what I know for sure: Healing doesn't require perfection. It requires honesty and someone who actually gets it. You're not broken. You're dealing with hard things. And you deserve support that feels supportive – not cold, not judgmental, not like one more thing you're supposed to "fix" about yourself. I specialize in: • Trauma & PTSD • Anxiety & Depression • Self-Sabotage & Repeating Patterns • Complex PTSD & Personality Disorders • Life Transitions • Relationship Issues

Hi! I am Gene Gibbs, a trained counselor and mental health therapist. I enjoy helping people as they navigate the issues and concerns that arise as one lives from day to day. I seek to provide a sounding board that allows clients to hear what they are saying and then to process their thoughts and ideas and get a clear view of how they are heard and what it means. From the processing step I move to clarification and application. They goal is to help the client do what is helpful for them and for those with whom they interact.

Do you wake up worried about the day ahead before you even get out of bed? At work, are you scared of making mistakes, feeling like everyone’s waiting for you to mess up? When friends invite you out, do you say “yes” but feel nervous inside? At home, instead of relaxing, do you replay awkward moments, wondering what others think of you? If these anxious thoughts make you feel not good enough and exhaust you, you’re not alone. These feelings can undermine your confidence and affect your professional and personal relationships. I’m here to help you find relief and reclaim your sense of calm and control.

Hello, I am a clinical psychologist who has been in practice sine 1999. I work with a general adult population, with my main focus being on PTSD, depression and anxiety. During the early stages of my career, I performed extensive psychological and neuropsychological testing. This helped me to understand the general workings of the brain and how important it is to utilize this knowledge in my therapy. I have found that helping my clients understand that mental illness is not "just in my head" or something I need to "get over' has been so very beneficial in people healing and taking control of their lives. I hope to have the opportunity to help you heal and make positive changes in your life.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with experience supporting diverse clients, including individuals facing mental health challenges, trauma survivors, and those navigating life transitions.

I am passionate about creating a safe and collaborative space for healing, utilizing evidence-based approaches that are tailored to each individual's needs. My aim is to guide clients toward recognizing their resilience and celebrating their growth. Additionally, I incorporate the calming presence of my therapy dog, Nox, into sessions for added support when appropriate. Nox is a therapy dog who has visited local hospitals, schools and organizations within the community.

Hi, I’m Carrie Allen, MS, LPC, NCC — a trauma therapist, creative soul, and lifelong student of what it means to be human. I’m licensed in Alabama, Missouri, Texas, and Florida, and I specialize in helping clients untangle the effects of trauma, stress, and relational pain so they can reconnect with their sense of self, safety, and purpose. My work is grounded in trauma-informed care, combining science, compassion, and a healthy dose of humor. I draw from Trauma-Focused CBT, Attachment-Based Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy, and Child-Parent Psychotherapy (I’m trained, not certified, in CPP). These approaches allow me to meet clients where they are—whether that’s building emotional safety, rewriting old narratives, or learning how to regulate the nervous system and reengage with life on your own terms. Therapy with me is collaborative, relational, and real. You won’t get a blank stare or a “how does that make you feel?” on repeat. I show up as a human first and a therapist second—curious, grounded, and genuinely invested in helping you move toward healing that actually lasts. Together, we’ll explore how your past experiences shape your present patterns, and how to build a future that feels aligned with who you’re becoming. Outside of sessions, I recharge through writing, gaming, crocheting, and wandering in nature. I’m a proud stepmom to two amazing girls, a lover of deep conversations, and a firm believer that healing often shows up in the small, ordinary moments—cooking dinner, laughing with friends, or finally exhaling after a long day. If we work together, you can expect honesty, empathy, and the occasional well-timed laugh. I’ll challenge you when it’s needed, hold space when it’s heavy, and remind you that you are not broken—you’re growing.
