Hello! I have a Masters of Education in Counseling and Human Development and have been a Licensed Professional Counselor since 2002, with Supervisory status (2020). I am also a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist (CTRS) and have been since 1993. I am dedicated to fostering peace, respect, and healing within individuals and families. I am nurturing, patient and non-judgmental to help create a supportive environment where challenges can be addressed. I am a vocal advocate for children, teenagers, and adults. I have worked in psychiatric hospitals, RTC's, with TYC, private practice (all ages for individuals and families) and MHMR (focus on crisis counseling for children and teenagers). Trauma, depression, anxiety, crisis, and grief are some of my speciality areas.

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Laredo, TX

Searching for addiction therapists in Laredo starts with finding someone whose experience matches the kind of support you want. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, drug use, nicotine dependence, gambling, or other behavioral patterns. Some therapists use approaches like motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, or harm reduction-informed care. Some people may also work with a prescriber as part of their care team, so it helps to review each therapist’s listed specialties and approach before booking.

In a mid-size city like Laredo, you may find a mix of local therapy offices and virtual appointments across Texas. Virtual care can expand your options if nearby appointment times, commute, or schedule fit matter. As you compare therapists, look at whether they are accepting new patients, offer appointment times that work for you, and provide a free phone consultation. Reading bios can also help you understand how a therapist discusses addiction care, including whether they mention non-judgmental support, relapse prevention, or harm reduction frameworks.

Therapy in Laredo 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 needs, lets you check insurance coverage based on your plan and location, and shows estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can browse addiction therapists in Laredo, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
