Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Waco, TX

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and board-approved supervisor in Texas. I received my Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2017 from The University of Texas at Tyler. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the effects of past experiences that continue to show up in the present.

In my work, I focus on creating a space that feels steady, supportive, and nonjudgmental. Many of the people I work with aren’t always sure where to start. They may just know that something feels off or overwhelming. Together, we begin to make sense of those experiences in a way that feels more manageable.

I’ve spent my career supporting people through some of their hardest moments—crisis units, inpatient care, disability rehabilitation, and corporate healthcare. Being a foster parent gave me a firsthand view of how families cope under intense strain. As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Rehabilitation Counselor, I specialize in the mental‐health impact of chronic illness, disability, and identity shifts. I believe people are more resilient than they realize, and the right support helps them access it.

Life can feel overwhelming at times, and you don't have to navigate it alone. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with adults facing depression, anxiety, trauma and PTSD, and the kind of stress that quietly wears you down — and I especially enjoy supporting men who may be trying therapy for the first time. My goal is to provide a space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and respectfully challenged to grow. Together, we'll identify what's keeping you stuck, build on your strengths, and create practical strategies that move you toward the life you want to live. I hold a Master of Education from Lamar University and bring a warm, empowering, judgment-free approach to every session.

If you are carrying something that still shows up when you least expect it, the memory that tightens your chest, the anxiety that will not switch off, or the sense that a past experience is still steering your present, you do not have to keep pushing through alone. I work with adults and young adults who want to feel less controlled by what happened and more like themselves again, including many who have tried talk therapy before and are curious whether EMDR could finally help them move through what has kept them stuck.

I have a passion for helping people navigate life's challenges. Seeking help can feel like a big step, but it's also a powerful one. I offer a collaborative and nonjudgemental space for discovering strengths and with helping you feel empowered.

When there is conflict, distance, stress at home, or cultural pressures, it can feel exhausting and lonely.

I help individuals, couples, and families work through relationship challenges, family stress, parenting concerns, women’s issues, and identity or cultural experiences. As a bilingual therapist, I strive to create a space where you feel seen, supported, and understood.

Hello! I am retired law enforcement and have over 35 years experience working with citizens and first responders in behavioral health crisis. I provide individual therapy for adults and specialize in crisis intervention. I believe people have the ability to guide their own path - they just need a map.

I'm an LPC based in Texas who works with adults navigating addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, and the kind of stress that doesn't go away after a good night's sleep. I'm not the therapist who nods quietly and lets you talk in circles — I'm engaged, I'm direct, and I'll genuinely challenge you when I think it'll help. I also believe laughter belongs in the therapy room. Healing doesn't have to be a grim process, and some of the most meaningful breakthroughs I've witnessed have happened mid-joke. I offer telehealth sessions throughout Texas and accept Aetna, Cigna, Carelon Behavioral Health, and Ascension.
