I have a Master of Science degree from Abilene Christian University and a bachelor's degree from McMurry University (Ala Cumba and go WarHawks!). I have lived in Abilene since 2005 and have been a therapist in Texas for over 15 years. I am married, and am a mom of 3 boys and 2 fur babies. I have training in a variety of approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, person-centered, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and others.
Hi! I am Shea, a Board Certified Nurse Practitioner.
Looking for someone who will truly listen? I believe everyone needs support, and I strive to be that steady presence in therapy. Clients often describe me as warm, open-minded, and easy to talk to. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and comfortable being yourself.
I work with high-functioning adults who look like they have it together and are quietly running on empty—people whose competence has become the thing they hide behind. My foundation is TEAM-CBT, an evidence-based approach I'm certified in at the highest level (Level 3 Advanced) through the Feeling Good Institute, and I train regularly with the Beck Institute. It gives our work real structure and proven tools. But symptoms usually rest on something older, and that's where the deeper work happens. I work most with anxiety, perfectionism, conditional self-worth, and the depletion that hides underneath a successful life.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in San Antonio, Texas, with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. My clinical work focuses on supporting individuals navigating trauma, emotion dysregulation, relationship difficulties, and mood disorders, including depression and anxiety. I have a strong interest in working with adolescents and adults experiencing borderline personality features, attachment-related concerns, and challenges with identity and interpersonal functioning.

About Me
Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, anger, relationship challenges, family conflict, or major life transitions begin affecting your daily life. I specialize in working with men, teens, young adults, and families who are seeking greater self-awareness, healthier relationships, and meaningful change.
Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck, frustrated, disconnected, or unsure of their next steps. They may be navigating anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, breakups, family stress, anger, identity concerns, or the lasting impact of difficult life experiences. Together, we identify patterns that may be keeping them stuck and develop practical strategies to create lasting change.
I believe therapy works best when clients feel respected, understood, and challenged to grow. I help clients improve communication, strengthen relationships, manage difficult emotions, and build greater confidence in themselves and their ability to handle life’s challenges.
Whether you’re facing a difficult relationship, struggling with anxiety or anger, navigating family conflict, or adjusting to a major life change, therapy can help you gain clarity, better understand yourself, and move forward with greater confidence and purpose.
I strive to empower clients to regain a sense of agency in their health and well‐being. With more than 30 years as a therapist, I understand that creating meaningful change can be both challenging and deeply rewarding. My role is to support you through that process with clarity, compassion, and tools that help you move toward the life you desire.
When we go to therapy, we want someone we can connect with — someone who understands our culture, our story, and the challenges we face as women. As a first-generation bilingual therapist and a mother myself, I know how overwhelming it can feel to juggle parenting, career, relationships, and daily stress. My goal is to offer a safe, supportive space where you feel comfortable, valued, and never judged.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health 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.
