Therapist

Hi! I’m Josh, a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who believes therapy should feel like a real conversation—not an interrogation or a textbook lecture.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, stress, life transitions, and those moments when life simply feels like demasiado. My approach is warm, practical, collaborative, and judgment-free. We’ll talk about what’s going on, understand the patterns behind it, and work together toward changes that actually make sense for your life.

As a bilingual therapist, I’m comfortable providing therapy in English, Spanish, or a little Spanglish—porque sometimes one language just isn’t enough to explain exactly how we feel.

You don’t have to have everything figured out before coming to therapy. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, going through a major transition, or simply wanting to understand yourself better, my goal is to create a space where you can be yourself, feel heard, and move forward at your own pace.

Aquí hablamos, procesamos, sanamos, and little by little, seguimos adelante.

“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”

Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

I am a firm believer that life–even the best of lives– has moments of pain and suffering; however great or small. Some come to pass quickly and float away from our consciousness, while others stay with us, shape us, change our relationships and the way we see the world. The rest of our life is filled with moments dependent on how we cope with, process and accept those moments of pain or suffering.

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 Texas

Searching for therapists in Texas starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. Across a state as large and varied as Texas, therapy needs and available therapists can differ across urban, suburban, and rural areas. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or major life changes. Review each therapist’s listed specialties, approach, and experience to see whether their background matches your needs. Some therapists may use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, while others may focus on specific populations or concerns.

Location and format also matter when comparing Texas therapists. In larger areas like Houston, Dallas, and Austin, you may have many choices, while other parts of the state may have fewer local options. Some people prefer meeting in person, while others choose virtual sessions for scheduling flexibility or easier access from home. As you narrow your search, look at appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you understand how they describe their style, what sessions may feel like, and whether their communication approach fits your preferences.

The cost of therapy in Texas can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for Texas therapists who match your preferences, accept your insurance, and are ready to take new patients. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. From there, you can compare therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
