730 North Post Oak Road, Houston, TX

As an LPC with over 21 years of experience I am passionate about working with individuals, families, and adolescents navigate life's inevitable challenges. Navigating those changes creates anxiety, depression, and feeling overwhelmed. We know change is constant and understanding all aspects of ourselves - emotionally, mentally, and physically - is of the utmost importance. It allows us to have a better relationship with ourselves; therefore, deeper and healthier relationships with others.

Providing individual, group, and family therapy across various settings has enabled me to understand the importance of developing healthy communication that will benefit long-term relationship skills.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Houston

Searching for therapists in Houston starts with identifying the kind of support that fits your needs. In a large metro area, you may find therapists who focus on anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to address. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.

Houston has many therapy options across neighborhoods like Montrose, Midtown, the Heights, and nearby areas such as Pearland and Sugar Land. That volume can make the search feel harder unless you narrow by the factors that matter most. Consider whether you prefer in-person counseling in Houston or virtual sessions from home, and check appointment availability, scheduling flexibility, and whether a therapist is accepting new patients. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand a therapist’s communication style, session structure, and experience with concerns similar to yours.

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 and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you search for a therapist in Houston, TX, enter your insurance details, view estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly with therapists who are accepting new patients. You can browse providers, review bios, and choose a covered therapist when you’re ready.
