Couples therapists in Nacogdoches, TX

Life can look perfectly fine on the outside while feeling overwhelming underneath. You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Whether you're feeling stuck, constantly overthinking, burned out, or repeating patterns you can't seem to break, therapy can be a place to finally make sense of what's going on.

I bring curiosity, honesty, and practical insight into every session. Rather than giving generic advice or simply asking, "How does that make you feel?" we'll work together to understand what's keeping you stuck, identify what's actually changeable, and build strategies that fit your life. I'll challenge you when it's helpful, support you when it's needed, and create a space where you can be completely yourself without worrying about being judged or getting it "right."

Life can feel overwhelming when you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, addiction, or a major life transition. You may find yourself stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, weighed down by self-doubt, shame, guilt, anger, loneliness, or stress that feels difficult to manage on your own.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I help clients navigate these challenges with greater clarity, resilience, and confidence. Whether you're coping with work stress, family conflict, relationship difficulties, or significant life changes, therapy can provide a space to better understand what you're experiencing and develop practical tools for moving forward or making change.

My style is warm, validating, and compassionate, while also being honest and intentional. I believe therapy should feel supportive but also purposeful. As our therapeutic relationship grows, I offer direct feedback and thoughtful challenges to help you move out of patterns that no longer serve you. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself, my goal is to help you build insight, resilience, and a stronger sense of control over your life. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety, grief, trauma, and depression. I use evidence-based techniques including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, and I am trained in EMDR. An evidence-based approach that helps clients process trauma and distressing experiences in a way that feels manageable and empowering.

I’m a Marriage and Family Therapist in New Orleans, Louisiana, with over 10 years of experience helping individuals and couples live more authentically. My background is in Marriage and Family Therapy (EdS), and I run a private practice while staying active in community wellness outreach. I work with depression, anxiety, stress, and relationship issues, and I aim to offer a safe, comfortable space where we can collaborate on your goals and help you find more balance in your life.

Are you not feeling like yourself lately? I work with women who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, irritated, sad, or simply not where they’d like to be. Maybe you’re dealing with relationship challenges, aging parents, family estrangement, a career change, financial stress, or a transition you didn’t see coming. Sometimes changes in how you look or see yourself, whether from illness, hair loss, or other life changes, can affect your confidence in ways that are hard to explain. You don’t have to have everything figured out before you reach out. We’ll start where you are and work from there.

I believe therapy should feel like a conversation, not an interrogation. My role isn’t to tell you what to do—it’s to walk alongside you, helping you better understand yourself, work through life’s challenges, and build the confidence and skills to move forward. I use evidence-based approaches like CBT, Trauma-Focused CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Person-Centered Therapy, and strengths-based techniques, but I also believe the most important part of therapy is the relationship we build together.

Every person is different, so I tailor therapy to meet your unique needs. With younger children, that may look like play-based therapy. With teens and adults, it often feels like a comfortable conversation where you can be yourself without fear of judgment. My goal is for every client to leave feeling heard, supported, and equipped with practical tools they can use in everyday life.

Blest be the life that finds joy in the journey...

I believe that healing begins with being heard, understood, and supported in a safe, nonjudgmental space. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I specialize in working with clients navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, relationship stress, life transitions, and self-esteem struggles. My approach integrates evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) with mindfulness, self-compassion, and strengths-based techniques.

I believe growth is possible for everyone, and I am passionate about supporting clients as they rediscover hope, confidence, and balance.

Reaching out for therapy is a courageous first step. If you're looking for a therapist who will meet you with compassion, curiosity, and a whole-person approach to healing, I'd be honored to support you on your journey. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with a master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and five years of clinical experience.

Whether you're facing a major life transition, struggling with anxiety, navigating relationship challenges, or simply feeling stuck, my goal is to create a space where you can safely explore what's happening beneath the surface and move toward lasting change.

Hi, I'm Candice Herrera, Licensed ProfessionalCounselor and owner of Artesian Counseling Group, PLLC. I earned my Master of Arts in Clinical Counseling from Wayland Baptist University and have been practicing therapy for the past four years.

I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and emotional overwhelm. Much of my work centers around helping clients recognize and heal from generational trauma—the patterns, beliefs, and survival strategies that are often passed down through families without anyone intending to.

As a therapist, I understand that many people,especially millennials and people of color, have spentyears carrying responsibilities, expectations, or emotional burdens that were never truly theirs to hold. You may be the one who always has it together, the cycle breaker in your family, or the person everyonedepends on while quietly struggling yourself. Therapy offers a space where you don't have to carry thatweight alone.

I strive to create a space where you feel seen, respected, and accepted exactly as you are. My goal is to help you reconnect with yourself, heal from what's been weighing you down, and build a life that reflects who you are, not just who you've had to be.
