I believe every person is created in the image of God and carries a dignity that circumstances cannot erase. Life can change around us quickly. Roles end. Relationships shift. Children leave. Careers come to a close. We lose people we love, and sometimes we lose versions of ourselves we thought would always be there. Yet even in these moments, we are still becoming.
Much of my work is with adults navigating the later chapters of life—retirement, the empty nest, caregiving, changing relationships, and the question that sometimes quietly follows: Who am I now? I also work with couples trying to find their way back to one another and with individuals healing from addiction or the aftermath of an unhealthy relationship.
I believe growth remains possible at every age. We may not get to choose everything that happens to us, but we can examine how we will meet what has happened and what kind of life we want to create from here.
Clients often tell me that I listen closely, including to what is not being said. I believe every person brings a story that deserves to be understood before it is interpreted. My work begins there—with curiosity, careful attention, and respect for the life you have lived and the life you still have ahead of you.
Welcome! I'm glad you've taken this step to consider working with me. I'm here to listen without judgment and do my best to help you with your concerns. Whatever it is you're going through, I'm ready to use my knowledge and experience to support you every step of the way. Thank you!
For the last 8 years, I've had the privilege of helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, family challenges, and the moments in life that leave you feeling stuck or disconnected from yourself. I also support concerns including grief, OCD, panic, ADHD, and identity. My work is grounded in the belief that healing involves the whole person—mind and body. I bring warmth, curiosity, compassion, and humor into therapy while helping you recognize your strengths and create meaningful change. As Brene Brown says, "You can choose courage, or you can choose comfort. You can't have both".
- I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults experiencing concerns such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, substance use, and panic symptoms. My background in inpatient psychiatry, crisis stabilization, addiction recovery, and geriatric mental health has shaped the way I understand mental health from both a clinical and whole-person perspective. I want my clients to feel respected, heard, and actively involved in their care.
Hi, I’m Pauline, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care. I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, and mood disorders, and I’m passionate about helping each person feel more supported, balanced, and understood. Outside of work, I love being near the water, whether that means the beach, a lake, or swimming whenever I can.
When life feels overwhelming, it's easy to lose sight of yourself while trying to keep everything else together. Anxiety, depression, family conflict, grief, or difficult life experiences can leave you feeling emotionally exhausted, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward. You don't have to keep carrying those burdens alone. I work alongside individuals experiencing anxiety, family issues, stress management, grief and loss, and relationship issues so they can build healthier relationships, regain emotional balance, and reconnect with the life they want to live. Working with adolescents, adults, and seniors, I strive to create a compassionate, supportive environment where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and empowered to create meaningful, lasting change.
Welcome to my virtual office. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 3 years of experience. I specialize in in supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use. My approach is compassionate, client-centered, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I strive to create a safe, trusting space where meaningful healing can take root.
Hello! My name is Alex and I have a Master's degree in Addiction Counseling from Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. I specialize in working with individuals navigating PTSD and prolonged grief disorder. I have experience supporting veterans, active-duty service members, and their families through the unique challenges associated with trauma, reintegration, relationships, and emotional adjustment. As a Certified National Anger Management Specialist, my clinical approach also focuses on anger management, emotional regulation, and helping clients successfully navigate difficult life transitions. I also work with individuals experiencing co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders, recognizing the complex relationship between trauma, emotional distress, addiction, and behavioral patterns.

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.
