Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • Plano, TX


If you’re the one everyone depends on but you feel anxious, burned out, or emotionally drained, you don’t have to keep pushing through alone. I work with adults who are high-functioning on the outside but overwhelmed on the inside, especially women, professionals, parents, caregivers, and veterans navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, burnout, and major life transitions.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) and over 20 years of experience across diverse healthcare settings. As a veteran, I bring personal understanding of military culture and chronic stress. My approach is collaborative, culturally responsive, and judgment-free, blending evidence-based medication management with supportive, real-world conversation.

If you’re looking for care that feels thoughtful, respectful, and tailored to your life, not rushed or one-size-fits-all, invite you to schedule a consultation and take the first step toward feeling more grounded and supported.

Therapist

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas working with teens and adults. I came to counseling after more than a decade in education, and I have a master's in Counseling and Development from Lamar University.

Many of the people I work with have spent years adapting to their families, cultures, workplaces, or systems that weren't built with them in mind. Sometimes they've adapted so well they've lost track of what they actually want. I focus on anxiety, neurodivergent burnout, LGBTQ+ identity and identity exploration, immigrant and first-generation experiences, grief that often goes unrecognized (pet loss, estrangement, immigration-related loss), and reproductive decisions. I'm a neurodivergent immigrant myself, which is part of what brought me to this work.

I believe with a little help, you can be your own change. If you've been struggling with addiction, trauma, or the weight of navigating life after contact with the justice system, I've spent more than 25 years working at exactly that intersection. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor in Texas with deep experience in the criminal justice, mental health, and substance use fields. Before private practice, I spent decades working directly with people the system had often already written off. I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and co-occurring conditions.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Conroe, TX


Hello, I’m Dr Wiesner. I have a PhD in counseling. I was a professor teaching graduate students for seven years. During this time I was the director of a ten room counseling clinic at the university. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor for those new to the field, a Nationally Certified Counselor, and a Certified Clinical Mental Health Counselor.

I strive to be respectful and care about clients achieving their goals as quickly as possible. I taught diagnoses nine semesters at the university. I have published several research papers in peer reviewed journals and have made 7 presentations at the state and national level. I taught research methods and statistics but what really matters to me aren’t my degrees etc..but wanting you to live a zest filled life.

I have a degree in engineering and a MBA but left engineering to focus on assisting clients find and achieve goals that are important to them. Engineering trained me to think logically and to problem solve with an emphasis on practical issues and being practical. Practical and long lasting results is my focus.

I’m a member of Mensa and have been in the American Counseling Association and the Texas Counseling Association. While I have treated a long list of issues my main focus has been working with couples, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and past trauma.

If you choose me I would feel honored to help as best I can. I work with age ranges from six year olds to seniors. I like to say I want difficult and complex cases but you are not a case.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Amarillo

Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Amarillo starts with looking for identity-affirming care. A therapist with experience supporting LGBTQIA+ people may list affirmative therapy, WPATH training, gender-diverse experience, or work with sexual orientation, gender identity, family relationships, anxiety, depression, or trauma. Review each therapist’s listed specialties and approach to see whether their training matches the type of support you want.

In a mid-size city like Amarillo, local affirming therapists may vary by availability, specialty, and appointment format. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still giving you access to licensed therapists in Texas. As you compare therapists, look at whether they are accepting new patients, offer scheduling that fits your calendar, provide a free phone consultation, and explicitly mention LGBTQIA+ populations in their bios. Bios can also show how a therapist describes their style, communication, and experience.

Therapy in Amarillo can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and offer upfront cost estimates before you book. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
