Caledra Wortham

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 6.8 mi away • Fort Worth, TX


I believe that healing is not a one size fits all process. Every person arrives with a unique story, a distinct set of strengths, and their own way of making meaning in the world. I honor that individuality as I provide a therapeutic space where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered to grow at a pace that feels authentic to them. I believe in helping people and not fixing them because people aren't broken.

Life can get heavy—whether you’re juggling family dynamics, relationship stress, parenting challenges, or just trying to stay afloat. Maybe you’ve always been the dependable one, the person everyone else leans on, but you’re starting to realize it’s time to focus on yourself. You want less tension, more connection, and practical tools that actually make a difference. You’re not after a quick fix—you just want someone real to help you sort things out and walk with you through the hard parts.

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 Fort Worth

Finding addiction therapists in Fort Worth starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Addiction care can address alcohol use, drug use, nicotine use, gambling, sexual addiction, and related concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship stress, or trauma. Look for a therapist whose listed specialties match what you want to work on. Some therapists use motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, or harm reduction approaches. Some people may also work with a psychiatrist or other prescriber as part of their care team.

Fort Worth has many therapists, which can make it harder to narrow your search across neighborhoods, schedules, and appointment formats. In-person care may work well if you prefer an office setting near home, work, or school. Virtual appointments can expand your options if you need more flexibility or want to consider therapists beyond a close commute. As you compare therapists, look at availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how they describe their approach. Therapist bios can help you see whether someone has experience with recovery support, relapse prevention, harm reduction, or non-judgmental care.

Therapy in Fort Worth can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who are accepting new patients, filter by specialty and availability, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can compare addiction therapists in Fort Worth, 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.

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