Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Hurst, TX

For more than twenty years, I have had the privilege of walking alongside adolescents, adults, and couples during some of the most difficult and meaningful seasons of their lives. I believe that sometimes it can be difficult to see beyond the darkness in front of us. My role is to listen without judgement while helping you find your way toward the light again.

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).

If therapy were easy, everyone would already be doing it. I work best with people who want a direct therapist, not just a sounding board. I believe that healing comes from doing the work. Real, lasting change demands full commitment—a willingness to show up daily to become the best version of ourselves.

With 24 years of experience as an LPC, my professional background spans leadership, clinical practice, and mentorship. Throughout my career, I have learned that people value connection - whether it’s through shared goals, emotions, or by being seen and heard. I work alongside adults and teens (16+) facing addiction, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, relationship difficulties, and parenting or teen struggles. Supporting military service members and veterans is also an important part of my work.

Hi, my name is Lauren and I am so glad that you have chosen to seek help. Starting therapy for yourself or your child can be daunting, but I am committed to building trusting relationships with my clients and providing a space where honesty and vulnerability can flourish. I am passionate about recognizing each individual's unique experiences that have shaped them and working collaboratively with my clients to tailor treatment to their specific needs.

My name is Dr. Jessica Sanchez and I am a Spanish-speaking Licensed Professional Counselor and Chemical Dependency Counselor. I graduated with my Bachelor of Science from Lamar University in 2004 and became a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor in 2008. In 2024, I graduated with a Doctorate of Psychology from the Walden University.
