Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 27 mi away • Spring, TX


Hi, I’m Elizabeth. I work with women and teen girls ages 15+ experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship stress, burnout, menopause, and major life transitions.

My approach is warm, practical, and collaborative.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-focused and strength-based approaches, and Christian counseling when desired. I also incorporate other evidence-based strategies to help you recognize patterns, manage difficult emotions, build healthier boundaries, and feel more confident in your daily life.

I especially enjoy working with women who spend so much time caring for others that they begin to feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or disconnected from themselves.

Therapy is available in English and Spanish. Together, we will focus on helping you feel more grounded, supported, and better equipped to move forward.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Houston

Finding postpartum therapists in Houston starts with identifying the kind of support that fits your needs. Postpartum concerns can include postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. Some people also look for pregnancy therapy, prenatal depression support, postpartum counseling, or therapy for new moms. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience in perinatal mental health, maternal mental health, or work with new parents. The PMH-C credential can also signal specialized training in perinatal mental health care.

Houston has a large mental health care community, and the number of options can make it harder to narrow your search. For new parents, practical details matter: appointment times, infant care, physical recovery, commute time, and whether a therapist offers virtual sessions. Virtual care can make it easier to meet with a postpartum therapist from home, while in-person care may fit better if you prefer an office setting. Reading therapist bios can help you see how they describe their approach, which concerns they support, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before booking.

Therapy in Houston can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who match your postpartum needs and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage and see which plans are accepted before you book. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, then review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
