As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I believe meaningful change begins with feeling seen, heard, and supported. I strive to create a comfortable and grounded space where clients can be themselves and move at their own pace. I have experience supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and substance use concerns. I bring warmth, care, and authenticity into the work we do together.
My clinical style is warm, structured, and collaborative. I emphasize clear communication and shared decision-making with my patients. I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental environment where people feel heard and respected.
I have an AGACNP background, which supports my ability to assess medical comorbidity and understand complex medical/psychiatric overlap. I am also DOT-certified, which reflects my knowledge of safety-sensitive considerations and careful medication risk assessment.
I take a fresh, integrative approach to individualized psychotherapy, tailoring treatment to each client's unique needs and goals. My work is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps clients better understand and regulate their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and reactions.
I also incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), helping clients develop greater acceptance of difficult emotions and circumstances that may be outside of their control while taking meaningful action aligned with their personal values. With seven years of experience as both a Group Facilitator and Individual Therapist in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I utilize evidence-based skills and mindfulness practices to help clients improve emotional regulation, increase self-awareness, and build resilience.
Hi there, I’m Patrice Noel, a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing tele-health care across Texas. I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults, and I support people navigating anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, psychosis, ADHD, OCD, trauma, substance use, grief, sleep concerns, eating disorders, and major life transitions. I believe asking for help is a real act of strength, and I’m proud to create an inclusive space for a wide range of individuals, including LGBTQ+ clients and military veterans.
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).
I specialize in addiction, anxiety, grief, anger, depression, and coping issues. I utilize a variety of Cognitive Behavioral, Solution-Focused, Narrative, and other therapy techniques.
Are you wondering if you need rehab? I have done over 7000 substance abuse assessments in my career. I can provide experienced clinical input. I’m a versatile, practical therapist who can help with a variety of mood, coping, and adjustment issues.
Hi, I’m Mariam Opafunso, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Ohio University and have experience working in both inpatient and outpatient behavioral health settings. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and other mood-related concerns, as well as eating-related conditions in adolescents and adults.
Outside of my professional role, I value balance and growth, and I show up fully for the people I serve. I understand that seeking help can feel overwhelming, and I create a space where you feel comfortable, respected, and truly heard.

When anxiety, depression, mood changes, or emotional stress begin to interfere with your daily life, it can feel like you're carrying more than you were ever meant to carry alone. You may be tired of simply getting through the day and ready for a clearer path forward. My goal is to provide a supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and understood.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Lubbock
Searching for addiction therapists in Lubbock starts with finding someone whose experience matches the kind of support you want. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, compulsive behaviors, relapse prevention, and changes in family or relationship patterns. As you compare therapists, look for specialties and approaches that fit your needs, such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or coordination with medication-assisted care. Some people also work with a psychiatrist as part of their care team.
Lubbock has local therapy options, and virtual appointments can make it easier to compare therapists beyond the offices closest to you. Recovery can have different phases, so it helps to look for a therapist who describes a clear, non-judgmental approach and has experience with harm reduction frameworks. You may also want to compare appointment availability, session structure, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading bios before booking can help you understand how each therapist talks about addiction care, collaboration, and what to expect in sessions.
Therapy in Lubbock can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you begin. Headway helps you search for addiction therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs after entering your insurance details. From there, you can browse therapists, compare fit, 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
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
