Personally, I offer experience and life perspective learned from nearly all the eras of our human experience and I hope to share it with my clients.

Therapies and techniques, and plans are customized just for you: Person-Centered, Cognitive - Behavioral, Solution Focused, and Self - Expression and Mindfulness through art and nature. All are holistically for your mind, body and spirit benefit.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Corpus Christi, TX

Finding addiction therapists in Corpus Christi starts with identifying the kind of support that matches your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, gambling, compulsive behaviors, relapse prevention, and concerns that overlap with anxiety, depression, or trauma. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that connect to your goals, such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or coordination with medication-assisted care. Some people may also work with a psychiatrist or other prescriber as part of their care team.

Corpus Christi has local therapy and behavioral health options, but the right fit may depend on more than location. Virtual appointments can expand your options if you want more scheduling flexibility or if nearby offices have limited availability. When reviewing therapists in Corpus Christi, consider whether they are accepting new patients, offer appointment times that fit your calendar, and provide a free phone consultation. Reading each therapist’s bio can also help you understand how they talk about addiction care, including whether they use a non-judgmental approach and have experience with harm reduction frameworks.

Therapy in Corpus Christi can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review estimated costs before booking, and compare options for in-person or virtual care. From there, you can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741

If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
