If you're navigating challenges such as career transitions, cultural trauma, anxiety, or other complex life experiences, you don’t have to face them alone. As a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas and a career counselor, I’m here to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing and growth. I also bring experience working with children and families, which deepens my understanding of developmental and relational patterns that often show up in adulthood. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and understood as you explore your experiences and move toward meaningful change.
Hello! My name is Priscilla Sanchez. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor- Supervisor. Working in community mental health for years, I understand seeking help, opening up can be difficult whether this is your first time speaking to someone about what you are experiencing or you are seeking a counselor who is easy to speak to. I work with adults who are experiencing challenges with symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma or other stressors related to life, and relationships.
My name is Mekayla (she/her) and I am a queer affirming, neurodivergence affirming therapist serving Texas residents! I became a therapist because I believe that connection is the key to growth and healing. I specialize in working with trauma, anxiety, relationship issues, neurodivergence and the LGTBQ+ community.
Hi there. I work with adults seeking support for anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, and overall well-being. I understand that finding the right counselor can feel overwhelming, and I’m here to make that process feel more comfortable and supportive. It is an honor for me to walk alongside someone as they take a step toward living better.
You can be strong, capable, and still need support. Pushing through and pretending you have it all together? Worn out, anxious, healing from something heavy, or just trying to figure things out. Therapy isn’t about having it all together. It’s about getting support while you find your way.
Through real, down-to-earth chats, we’ll work on some solid tools and skills to help you live the kind of life you’re proud of. I specialize in struggling relationships, relationship abuse, high conflict divorce/CoParenting, first responders, navigating trauma, big life changes, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, personality disorders, parenting coordination, child custody/adoption evaluations, and more. My goal? To help you shift what’s not working for you in a space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered.
Fun Fact: When I'm not in the therapy office, I'll be out soaking up self-care like hiking, paddle-boarding with my Yorkie, exploring new places, creating flower arrangements, and keeping my houseplants (mostly) alive.

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.
