Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Houston, TX

I help children, adults, couples, and families who are navigating ADHD, anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship concerns, life transitions, or substance-use challenges. As an LPC-S, LCDC, and Certified School Counselor, I bring behavioral-health and school-based experience to therapy. My style is warm, direct, culturally responsive, and nonjudgmental. Together, we identify patterns, build practical coping and communication skills, and create a treatment plan that reflects your needs, strengths, and goals.

My education, life experience, and work with individuals and families have helped me value different perspectives, embrace diversity, and meet people with empathy. I provide psychotherapy in English and Spanish and work sensitively with people of many ethnic, gender, language, and cultural backgrounds.

Hi, I’m Olivia! Counseling has played a big role in my life and has helped me through some really difficult times. After a career in teaching, I found another way of helping others in this second career as a counselor. I enjoy connecting with people and walking through their journey with them as they navigate life’s ups and downs.

As a Licensed Social Worker, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. Our therapeutic sessions will be packed with discovery, while building long lasting tools to apply in times of need! I’ve been practicing for 27 years, and I have developed the skills needed to address a broad spectrum of counsel. I am super excited to start our journey together!

I have a passion for creating a collaborative, supportive environment for personal growth and healing. I believe that seeking therapy is a profound act of self-respect and care, and my goal is to provide a space where you feel truly heard and valued. Together, we can navigate the challenges of life, uncovering clarity and direction in the midst of complexity. My approach is rooted in fostering a comfortable, nonjudgmental atmosphere where your story can unfold, and your goals can take center stage.

I have a Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies from Texas A&M University (2009) and a Master's in School Counseling from Sam Houston State University (2012).

Like many clients, I learned at a young age that life could be difficult. I have lost many loved ones, including a parent and sibling, to illness, accident, and addiction. These experiences have given me empathy for others as they endure their trials.
