I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with a Master of Social Work degree from the University of Houston. I specialize in helping adults and older adults navigate workplace stress, family challenges, and emotional wellbeing. My areas of focus include career burnout, work-life balance, anxiety, depression, intimate partner violence, divorce, caregiving stress, and cross-cultural adjustment.
I believe every person carries an inner strength that can be uncovered and nurtured. In therapy, I provide a safe, compassionate space where you can share your story, build resilience, and move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.
Dr. Victoria Benson, DNP, APRN-CNP, PMHNP-BC, is a Board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) with 17 years of experience in health care and 4 years of experience in psychiatry treatments.
I bring both clinical depth and genuine warmth to every therapeutic relationship. I earned my Master's in Counseling from St. Mary's University and have spent my career walking alongside adults navigating some of life's most challenging moments — anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, women's issues, and so much more. As a Hispanic woman, I understand firsthand the importance of feeling truly seen and understood by your therapist, and I am committed to creating a space where your full identity is honored and welcomed. I work with adults across Texas, and if any of this resonates, I would love to connect. Reaching out is the hardest step, and I will meet you with the same warmth I bring to every session.
Catherine Williams, PMHNP-BC. Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (Texas telehealth). As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), I am committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care that supports each individual’s journey toward stability, healing, and lasting wellness. I integrate both medical and therapeutic perspectives to address the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—with clinical expertise and genuine empathy.
I strive to create a safe, respectful, and judgment-free environment where clients feel heard, understood, and supported. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, or major life transitions, I work collaboratively with you to develop an individualized treatment plan that empowers growth and promotes meaningful, sustained emotional well-being.
Hi,
I am Lisa Lang, LCSW, a licensed therapist here in Texas. I am compassionate, engaged, interactive, and sensitive to client needs. I take pleasure in helping individuals improve their quality of life. I offer an open and safe environment to explore emotions and relationship patterns without judgment or vilification. I extend a supportive, empathetic, natural, and unbiased atmosphere, filled with positive energy.
I serve clients suffering from depression, anxiety, stress, strained relationships, substance use, trauma, alcoholism, interpersonal problems, IPV/DV, and those coping with grief or loss.
Hello! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 13 years of experience supporting clients of all ages. I use professional and personal knowledge and experience including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Self-Compassion, Family Systems, and Narrative Therapy. I care deeply about what I do and want you to leave feeling heard, understood, and supported. I love supporting women as they work through challenges, especially in the context of parenting. I also enjoy working with adults managing transitions, self-growth, anxiety, boundary setting, inner-critics, relationships.
I graduated in 2019, got fully licensed in 2022 and have been working in private practice since. I thrive when working with people who feel stuck, uncertain, and frozen in life. I am a person-center therapist who will tailor your treatment according to your needs.
Hi, I’m so glad you’re here. I know reaching out for support isn’t always easy, and I want you to know you don’t have to do it alone. My goal is to offer a calm, compassionate space where you feel safe to explore, heal, and grow.
I believe real change begins with genuine connection, and I strive to meet every client with warmth, understanding, and respect. Together, we’ll work at your pace to help you find clarity, strength, and a greater sense of peace.
Life is genuinely hard sometimes, and you deserve a counselor who gets that. As a former teacher and mother of five, I have seen how stress, family dynamics, and caregiving can quietly take a toll. I earned my master's in School and Clinical Counseling after watching students struggle, and I have since worked with families, youth, caregivers, and individuals facing everyday challenges. I would love to help you find more balance, too.

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.
