Welcome! I am Olga Pabon LCSW. I have more than 9 years of experience working with survivors of domestic and sexual violence.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) providing evidence-based, insurance-accepted mental health care to children, adolescents, and adults. I offer both psychotherapy and medication management, allowing for a comprehensive and integrated approach to mental health treatment.
My clinical work includes the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of a wide range of mental health conditions, including anxiety disorders, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, trauma-related conditions, and other psychiatric concerns. I believe effective treatment is highly individualized, and I work collaboratively with clients to develop care plans that align with their goals, preferences, and lived experiences.
I strive to create a safe, respectful, and non-judgmental environment where clients of all ages feel heard and supported. Whether you are seeking therapy, medication management, or a combination of both, I am committed to providing compassionate care that supports long-term mental wellness.
I've been a helping professional now for over twenty years. My career began as a Licensed Vocational Nurse/LVN working with those affected by physical health conditions. Additionally, my counseling background includes providing individual & group therapy to those impacted by suicidal ideation/thoughts, PTSD, mood disorders, grief and more.
Hi, I'm Maribel Hernandez, a Licensed Professional Counselor with 11 years of experience working with adults. I specialize in helping individuals manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and PTSD in supportive, nonjudgmental environment. My approach is collaborative and focused on helping you build practical skills, gain insight, and create meaningful change. I believe therapy should be a safe space where you feel heard, understood and empowered.
Hi, I’m Cindy and I want you to know this: you don’t have to go through it alone. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply tired of carrying it all, therapy can be a space to exhale, reflect, and gently begin again.
I come to this work not only as a clinician but as a human being shaped by my own lived experience. I’m a proud Trinidadian-American who migrated to the U.S. at a young age, and I know what it’s like to navigate different worlds, expectations, and identities. That background helps me show up with empathy, cultural sensitivity, and deep respect for the unique path each client walks.
I’m currently pursuing my Doctorate in Social Work at Simmons University, and my clinical experience has focused on supporting adults through anxiety, trauma, life transitions, burnout, and issues related to identity and belonging. I have a special heart for clients who are used to being the strong ones, the caregivers, the first-gen trailblazers, the ones who hold space for everyone else.
In our work together, you can expect warmth, honesty, and collaboration. I use a relational and strengths-based approach, integrating tools from CBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care, but more importantly, I meet you where you are, honoring your pace and your story.
This is your space to feel seen, to feel safe, and to explore what healing could look like for you. If you’re ready to begin, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
Hello, I’m Travis, and some days it’s hard to know where to start. Other days, it feels like there’s too much to say. Wherever you are, I’m here to listen. I provide a warm, supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and gently guided as you work through life’s challenges and move toward greater peace and understanding.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Waco, TX
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.
