ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Pasadena, TX

I know that seeking therapy can feel overwhelming — especially if you’re carrying a lot on your own. I believe deeply in the strength, warmth, and resilience that come from our cultura, and I bring that understanding into every session.

I work with clients who want support navigating anxiety, trauma, stress, and life transitions, particularly when cultural identity and family dynamics play an important role. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, respected, and understood, while also using research-backed tools that truly help you move forward.

What truly sets me apart is my calm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental approach. I believe in meeting every individual exactly where they are, creating a safe and affirming space for open, honest communication. Together, we’ll build a collaborative relationship where goals, preferences, and values guide every step of your care. I am committed to providing stigma-free care; including those navigating challenges related to neurodivergence, substance use, trauma, identity or difficult past experiences. Everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and respected without fear of shame or judgment.

I earned my bachelor's in Psychology at Smith College and my master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Rowan University. I believe in tailoring my clients' experience to their likes and needs. I enjoy creative therapy, ACT, manifestations, physical activity, CBT, and strength-based approaches to help individuals reach their full potential.

I am a wife and mother and have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. I enjoy using creative outlets to help make therapy a fully integrated experience.

I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely safe, heard, and understood. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can openly process your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and life experiences without feeling rushed or criticized. I understand that starting therapy can feel vulnerable, so I approach each client with compassion, curiosity, and respect for their unique story and lived experience.

My style is warm, relational, and conversational while still grounded in evidence-based practices. I work collaboratively with clients to help them better understand emotional patterns, increase self-awareness, strengthen communication, and develop practical tools they can use outside of sessions. I value creating a therapeutic relationship that feels authentic and empowering, where clients can feel comfortable being honest, asking questions, and moving at a pace that feels manageable for them.

I work with individuals navigating stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, emotional overwhelm, and patterns that may leave them feeling stuck or disconnected from themselves. Together, we focus on creating meaningful and sustainable change while also making space for reflection, healing, and personal growth.

Sometimes life looks fine from the outside, while inside you're carrying far more than anyone realizes. You may be juggling work, relationships, parenting, or constant responsibilities while wondering why everything feels harder than it should. You don't have to keep carrying it all on your own.

Before becoming a counselor, I spent many years in education helping people recognize strengths they often couldn't see in themselves. That experience continues to shape the way I approach therapy today. I believe people are incredibly resilient. With the right support, meaningful change is possible. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, struggling to focus because of ADHD, navigating a difficult relationship, processing trauma, or adjusting to a major life transition, my goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and more like yourself again.

You may feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you - carrying anxiety, stress, or the weight of past experiences while trying to manage relationships, family dynamics, or major life transitions. It can be exhausting to keep pushing forward without clarity or relief, especially when things feel overwhelming or difficult to untangle on your own. You don’t have to navigate this alone. I offer a supportive space where you can slow down, feel understood, and begin making sense of what you’re going through.

Hi! I'm Amy. From my background in early childhood education, to my master's in counseling from the University of North Texas, from an internship with an addiction-focused residential site to EMDR training to clinical leadership in a partial hospitalization program, I use my wide breadth of experience to inform my practice.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with

over 10 years of experience helping

people work through life challenges and

the negative thought processes that keep

them stuck. A lot of my work is about

helping clients become emotionally

resilient, using mindfulness and other

practical tools from the theories that fit

each person best. If you're carrying

anxiety, unresolved trauma,

or strain in your closest relationships, you

don't have to sort it out on your own. I

work with teenagers, adults and seniors, including a

lot of men who didn't expect therapy to

be for them.

Change can occur but I want to empower you to accept what you cannot change and come up with an effective plan to change what you can!

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and psychotherapist based in Austin, Texas. I earned my Master of Science in Social Work from the University of Texas at Austin and work with teens, adults, and couples. I primarily work with clients ages 14 and older, with much of my current caseload consisting of adults of all ages.

I particularly enjoy working with neurodivergent individuals, as well as folks navigating trauma, C-PTSD, anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, and questions of identity and belonging. I love working with clients who come to therapy with curiosity, openness, and a desire to better understand themselves and create meaningful change. Sometimes that looks like feeling ready to dive in, and sometimes it looks like showing up with uncertainty, skepticism, or hesitation. All of it is welcome. My hope is to help you connect with the curious and compassionate parts of yourself so that together we can approach every part of your experience with kindness, understanding, and care.
