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.

Find the right therapist for you

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Waco
Searching for therapists in Waco starts with knowing what kind of support you want. You may be looking for therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare Waco counselors, look for therapists whose listed specialties match your needs. Their profiles can also show training in approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
In a smaller city like Waco, local therapist availability can vary by specialty, schedule, and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Texas. As you narrow your search, consider whether you prefer in-person or virtual sessions, which appointment times work for your calendar, and whether the therapist is accepting new patients. Reading bios before booking can help you understand a therapist’s communication style, session structure, and approach to care.
Therapy in Waco can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps make that process easier by showing therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, offer upfront cost estimates after you enter your insurance details, and are ready to take new patients. You can browse therapists in Waco, review profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
