Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Lufkin, TX

The first step toward change is to decide that you are not going to stay where you are. I applaud you for taking that step! I would be honored to create a collaborative space to explore the barriers that may be keeping you from where and who you want to be. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor, and owner of Do The Work Counseling Services, PLLC.

Hi my name is Cordell Spears, and I am a clinical psychologist who specializes in helping people with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship issues, culture/identity specific issues and issues related to neurodivergence (ADHD, Autism). I am trained as a generalist thus I am equipped to treat most issues that clients bring in. I also write gender reassignment surgery letters. In addition, I am Houstonian through and through even though I lived in the Chicagoland area for over a decade. I am an avid dog lover and gamer who also likes to be active and exercise.

Prisca Oketch, APRN, PMHNP-BC, with over 17 years of dedicated clinical experience, specializes in comprehensive mental health treatment. I combine evidence-based psychiatric care with compassionate listening, creating personalized treatment plans that address each patient's unique needs. I am accepting new patients of all ages, from children to adults, both for cash pay and insurance with same-day availability.

As your therapist, I want you to know that my goal is to provide a supportive, honest, and empowering space where you can safely grow and heal. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of experience working in substance abuse treatment, addiction recovery, and couples therapy. I am also certified in Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT) and trauma-informed care. I bring a direct yet compassionate approach to therapy—one that is motivating, empathetic, and grounded in humility. I am currently pursuing my Doctorate in Psychology at Grand Canyon University, which continues to strengthen my clinical skills and deepen my commitment to helping clients create lasting change. My practice is built on respect, collaboration, and the belief that everyone has the capacity to transform their life.

I’m a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with 20 years of experience caring for patients across a wide range of clinical settings including cardio thoracic vascular surgical intensive care units, and coronary care units. This extensive background has shaped holistic understanding of health and allows me to approach mental health care with both clinical precision and genuine compassion. I am specialized in treating adults (ages 18 and older) with depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorders, sleeping disorders, substance use disorders with a particular focus on treatment resistant depression. I have specialized training in advanced treatment modalities including ketamine infusions, Spravato, and Trans cranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).

My experience centers on supporting clients of all ages through a wide range of life challenges. Guided by a solution-focused perspective, I believe holistic healing is a foundational part of effective client care. I am trained in EMDR, a therapeutic modality that helps clients process trauma and other difficult life experiences that may interfere with personal growth, relationships, and mental health. I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, life transitions, emotional overwhelm, and other concerns that can make it difficult to feel grounded or move forward. I hold a master’s degree from Colorado Christian University and have received training in both play therapy and EMDR. I have also worked with clients experiencing dual diagnoses within the field of substance use disorders, which has deepened my understanding of the connection between emotional pain, coping, and healing.
