Hi, I'm glad you're here! I’m a licensed therapist with over a decade of experience supporting individuals through anxiety, depression, grief, stress, and life transitions. I offer a collaborative, supportive space where individuals feel understood and empowered to create meaningful change.

My background includes work in high-acuity settings such as correctional facilities, inpatient psychiatric units, and hospital-based outpatient care. At the Harris County Jail in Houston, Texas, I developed reentry-focused assessment tools to improve continuity of care between the court and medical systems.

I’ve been part of a team that built programs from the ground up, including a home visitation program for mothers, now offered through telehealth in both virtual and hybrid formats. I use structured therapeutic tools to help individuals actively engage in treatment.

I have a focused interest in depression, anxiety, grief, and women’s mental health, including pregnancy and postpartum. I offer telehealth sessions across Texas, with insurance and private pay options available.

Dr. Kathy Levy-Oqueli

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


Welcome. I’m glad you’re here.

Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming. I aim to create a safe, collaborative, and grounded space from the beginning. I meet clients where they are and move at a pace that feels manageable and respectful.

I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, trauma, addiction, and relationship challenges. I also specialize in complex and developmental trauma.

I support clients in integrating their spiritual and cultural values into therapy when desired and clinically appropriate. I was born in New Orleans and bring a culturally informed perspective shaped by my Latina, Indigenous, Christian, and Sephardic Jewish backgrounds.

I became a therapist because I have a deep commitment to helping people recognize and build their own strengths, especially during periods of feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. I understand that seeking support takes courage, and I work to create a space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported throughout the process.

I earned a Master of Social Work (MSW) and PhD from Tulane University, as well as a Master of Public Health (MPH) from Tulane University’s School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Louisiana and Texas, and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Minnesota. I also hold a Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC), Licensed Prevention Professional (LPP), and Certified Employee Assistance Professional (CEAP).

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, TX

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.
