I take pleasure in being down-home friendly and plainspoken. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC). I happen to be a disabled veteran and a Bible-believing Christian. While my faith in Christ and my family are the central part of my life, I don't push it on others, but my faith definitely helps me treat others with care, compassion, respect and without judgment.. I enjoy working with people from various backgrounds and cultures.
Hello, I’m Henrietta Pieh, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I provide compassionate, patient-centered care to individuals across the lifespan through comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive collaboration.

Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, or major life transitions begin affecting every part of your life. You may be exhausted from trying to hold everything together, questioning your next step, or feeling like you've lost touch with the person you want to be. Change doesn't happen overnight, but it can begin with one conversation. I partner with individuals experiencing depression, grief and loss, relationship issues, identity issues, and trauma so they can rebuild confidence, strengthen their relationships, and create a life that feels more balanced, connected, and fulfilling. Working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families, I strive to create a compassionate, collaborative environment where you feel understood, respected, and empowered to grow.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Austin, TX
Searching for addiction therapists in Austin starts with finding someone whose training matches the kind of support you want. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, drug use, substance use concerns, gambling, or other behavioral patterns. Some therapists use approaches like motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, or care coordination with a prescriber when medication support is part of the care plan. As you compare addiction counselors or an addictions specialist, look for profiles that clearly list experience with your concern and describe how they structure care.
Austin has many therapists across areas like downtown, South Austin, East Austin, and North Austin, which can make the search feel broad at first. Start by narrowing for practical fit: in-person or virtual appointments, scheduling options, therapists accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Some people prefer an office near work or home, while others choose virtual sessions to expand access and reduce travel time. Reading therapist bios can also help you understand communication style, experience with harm reduction frameworks, and whether the therapist describes addiction care in a non-judgmental way.
Therapy in Austin can be a significant expense without insurance, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find Austin therapists who support addiction-related concerns and are accepting new patients. Nationally, Headway partners with 70+ insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for your specific area and plan. You can enter your insurance details to see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking, then compare therapist profiles, review availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
