Finding a good fit when seeking therapy is important, so allow me to introduce myself! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of experience working with clients with various general mental health concerns. I currently work with adults and my practice is LGBTQ+ affirming. I view therapy as a conversation and look forward to talking with you!
I’m a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with a background in nursing across a range of mental health settings, including outpatient care and higher-acuity environments. My training has focused on assessing, diagnosing, and treating conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma-related disorders, and substance use, using both medication management and psychotherapy. I completed advanced graduate education in psychiatric-mental health nursing, which prepared me to provide holistic, evidence-based care across the lifespan and to collaborate closely with other members of the treatment team.
I’m Nicole Shurina, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over ten years of mental health experience, walking alongside people through some of the hardest chapters of their lives. I’ve worked with individuals facing anxiety, self-esteem, grief, and trauma. For over three years, I worked alongside first responders, where I developed a deep respect and understanding for the resilience they, their families, and others in high-stress roles face who often carry silent burdens.
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Play Therapist providing therapy for children, teens, and adults. As an RPT, I have completed hundreds of hours of advanced training and clinical supervision to provide developmentally-appropriate, evidence-based care to children and adolescents. I partner with parents closely during the therapeutic process to reach our identified goals.
I also work with women across many life stages — whether you're navigating young adulthood, finding your footing professionally, learning to prioritize yourself in motherhood, or processing childhood wounds. I'm committed to ongoing education so I can offer trauma-informed care.

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.
