Therapist

Virtual • Texas


Hi, I’m Brittany. I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a Licensed Therapist with more than 10 years of experience supporting individuals and families through life’s challenges, transitions, and seasons of growth.

At the heart of my work is a genuine love for helping people better understand themselves, strengthen their relationships, and reconnect with the parts of themselves that may have gotten lost along the way. I especially enjoy working with teens, adults, and families, and I believe some of the most meaningful change happens when we have a safe space to show up as our whole selves—not just the parts that seem easiest to explain.

I bring warmth, compassion, curiosity, and a little humor into the therapy room. You don’t need to arrive with the right words or have everything figured out. Come as you are—we’ll start there.

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 McAllen

Searching for therapists in McAllen starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. People often look for therapy in McAllen, TX for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, stress, or major life changes. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties and approaches that match your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or couples counseling. A therapist’s profile can also show how they describe their style, what to expect in sessions, and whether they work with concerns similar to yours.

In a smaller city like McAllen, local appointment options may be more limited than in larger Texas markets. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Texas. You may also want to compare practical fit factors, including appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading bios before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style and decide who may be a strong match for in-person or virtual care.

Therapy in McAllen can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for McAllen therapists who match your preferences, view insurance options, and see upfront cost estimates after your benefits are checked. You can browse therapists, review detailed profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
