Hi, I'm Jessica Brady, LCSW. I'm glad you're here! I specialize in evidence-based approaches that help you break free from patterns that keep you stuck. I believe true strength doesn’t come from staying in control — it comes from opening up.
I have clinical experience providing therapy to children, adolescents, and adults in outpatient and school-based settings. I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Houston and my Bachelor’s in Psychology from the University of Southern California.

Life is not easy... it is full of ups, downs, twists & turns. It can feel like a roller coaster that you cannot wait to get off of. Therapy can be the answer to getting support through these uncontrollably tough moments. This is your life and while you will always be the expert on you, let me help relieve some of the burdens you've been carrying so you can learn important tools to get back to the person you want to be. Together we can help you regain lost control and begin again. Why wait?
I’m David Head, LPC—an existential psychotherapist with more than a decade helping people work through anxiety, depression, trauma, LGBTQ+ concerns, relationship and interpersonal struggles, motivation blocks, compulsivity, and the deeper exhaustion that comes from feeling disconnected from your own life.
I hold a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Capella University and am a doctoral candidate in Counselor Education at Sam Houston State University, where my research focuses on identity, emotional dissonance, and the inner experience of helping professionals. My path has taken me through community mental health, residential treatment with children and families, school-based programs, and extensive telehealth work. I’ve seen how personal pain often intersects with bigger systems—work, family, culture—and I bring that grounded perspective without ever losing sight of you as the author of your story.
What matters most to me: You already have the capacity to choose, to take responsibility for your thoughts/feelings/behaviors, and to build a life that feels more aligned. My job isn’t to fix you. It’s to walk alongside you with curiosity, straight talk, and respect for your autonomy so you can develop the self-awareness, confidence, and tools to navigate whatever comes next—on your terms
I bring years of experience to my work with individuals and families struggling with mental health challenges. I have worked exclusively in outpatient mental health since completing my studies, and I am deeply committed to empowering my clients to thrive. As a mother of five children - including one who passed at a young age - and a bonus child, I understand firsthand the important role that mental health plays in our overall well-being and happiness. Text or call 903-476-3585.
Hi, I’m so glad you’re here. I know reaching out for support isn’t always easy, and I want you to know you don’t have to do it alone. My goal is to offer a calm, compassionate space where you feel safe to explore, heal, and grow.
I believe real change begins with genuine connection, and I strive to meet every client with warmth, understanding, and respect. Together, we’ll work at your pace to help you find clarity, strength, and a greater sense of peace.
The name of my practice is called, "Back Porch Therapy." I chose this name when I did indeed have a large back porch that always reminded me of warmth, safety, and security. The porch is now gone; however, my home office/or telehealth is warmly decorated in a pleasing and comfortable manner. You will receive the same smile I show in my profile picture!

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.
