Some of my passions include working with BIPOC and LGBTQ+ folks. I enjoy working with individuals and couples. I have additional training on Emotion Focused Therapy allowing me to connect with attachment needs and help heal through establishing a secure attachment in relationships.
My focus
I specialize in working with adults facing depression, anxiety, grief, PTSD, occupational stress, relationship conflicts, cultural and identity issues, and survivors of abuse. I help clients build understanding and chart a path forward using evidence-based approaches.
My communication style
My style is nurturing, accepting, empathic, and personable. I use unconditional positive regard to help you feel safe without judgment. I validate how you feel and normalize your situation so you can feel comfortable and at ease in our work together.
My journey to mental healthcare
I became a therapist because I have always accepted others, regardless of their background or circumstances. I believe in advocating for those who may not otherwise have a voice.
Hello, I'm Andrea Davis, a licensed counselor and art therapist with 20 years of experience. I hold credentials as an ATR-BC, ATCS, and LPC-AT-S, specializing in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). I earned degrees in Phenomenological Psychology, Humanistic Psychology, and Art Therapy. My approach is person-centered, integrating art therapy to support children, teens, adults, and veterans facing trauma, grief, and identity challenges in a safe, creative space.
Are you struggling with feelings of sadness, inadequacy, or lack of peace? Are you having difficulty coping with life stressors or just day to day circumstances?
Welcome! I'm Dr. Ben Osevwe, a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with more than 22 years of experience in mental health care, including over 4.5 years as a PMHNP. I founded Solid Foundation Psychiatry with one mission: to provide compassionate, evidence-based, and personalized psychiatric care that empowers individuals to live healthier, more fulfilling lives.
I work with adolescents and adults ages 12 through 90, providing comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive psychotherapy. I believe that effective mental health treatment goes beyond prescribing medication. Every visit is an opportunity to listen, educate, collaborate, and develop a treatment plan that reflects your unique goals, values, and life circumstances.
My clinical interests include ADHD, depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, autism spectrum disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), insomnia, mood disorders, and other psychiatric conditions. Whether you're seeking help for the first time or have struggled with symptoms for years, I strive to create a safe, respectful, and judgment-free environment where you feel comfortable sharing your concerns.
I provide both in-person psychiatric care in Pearland, Texas, serving the greater Houston area, and telepsychiatry to patients in states where I am licensed. My approach combines evidence-based medication management with psychotherapy and lifestyle recommendations.
My philosophy is simple: Every person deserves to be heard, treated with dignity, and given the tools to thrive. I believe healing begins with a trusting relationship, open communication, and a treatment plan tailored to your individual needs.
It is a privilege to be part of your mental health journey, and I look forward to partnering with you to help you build resilience, restore hope, and achieve lasting emotional wellness.
With over 20 years as a counselor in an education setting and over 5 years as a Licensed Professional Counselor, I help people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and more. I recently retired from my education profession and now devote all my time to my therapy practice. My goal is to build a genuine connection and be someone you feel comfortable turning to as you move toward the life you want.
Something happened to you, and it is still with you. Maybe it shows up in your sleep, or in your body, or in the way you brace for things that have not happened yet. Maybe you have carried it long enough that you have stopped expecting it to change. I'm Lacresa, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas, and helping adults heal from trauma and PTSD is the center of my work. I hold a Master's degree in Counseling and Development from Lamar University, and I work with adults ages 18 and older. What I offer is a safe, welcoming, and open-minded space where you can tell me what happened without managing my reaction to it and without any fear of being judged for it. I'm passionate about partnering with people who are ready to process difficult experiences and make meaningful changes, and I want to be clear that ready does not have to mean certain. Most people arrive unsure. Wanting something to be different is enough to start. Trauma has a way of convincing you that you are the exception to everything, including help. You are not.
Welcome! I'm glad you've taken this step to consider working with me. I'm here to listen without judgment and do my best to help you with your concerns. Whatever it is you're going through, I'm ready to use my knowledge and experience to support you every step of the way. Thank you!

Find the right therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
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.
