Ossenia Jeff

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 22 mi away • Houston, TX


I received both my Bachelors and Masters in Social Work from the University of Texas at Austin. I have been in private practice for more than 10 years. Prior to private practice, my career began as an inpatient therapist on locked units at psychiatric facilities Cambridge Hospital (currently Sun Behavioral Hospital) and West Oaks Hospital. In addition to my inpatient work at West Oaks Hospital, I was a group facilitator with both adolescents and adults for the outpatient extension of the hospital: The Excel Center. My work at The Excel Center involved daily group therapy in both the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) and Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP).

Because of my work with the acute psychiatric population in intensive treatment settings, I am able to work as a generalist practitioner. I work with most issue from depression, anxiety, and OCD to trauma, addiction and relationships struggles... just to name a few.

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 Pasadena

Finding addiction therapists in Pasadena starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for substance use, alcohol use, compulsive behaviors, relapse prevention, and concerns that occur alongside addiction, such as anxiety, depression, or trauma. As you compare Pasadena therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties and approach match what you want to work on. Relevant approaches may include motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, and coordination with a prescriber when medication support is part of your care team.

In a smaller city like Pasadena, the number of local therapists with addiction experience may vary by schedule, office location, and specialty. Virtual appointments can expand your options beyond nearby offices while still giving you access to therapists licensed in Texas. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios can also help you see how a therapist describes their communication style, experience with addiction care, and approach to recovery, including non-judgmental or harm reduction-informed support.

Addiction therapy in Pasadena can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, check your insurance, view estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready. You can compare Pasadena counseling options by specialty, availability, appointment format, and insurance fit, making it easier to find a therapist who accepts your plan and is ready to take new clients.

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
