Sometimes life shifts in ways we do not expect. You may notice yourself reacting differently in certain situations, feeling overwhelmed by emotions that seem to come out of nowhere, or getting stuck in thoughts you cannot quiet. You might find yourself wondering why you ruminate, why certain people or moments affect you so deeply, or why you act differently in relationships, even when you want things to be better.
These reactions are often linked to attachment experiences from childhood, unresolved past experiences, or even traumatic events later in life. The body and mind hold onto these experiences, and they can surface when we least expect them. Therapy is a space to slow down and understand what is happening, rather than feeling confused or frustrated by it.
I work with children, teens, and adults using an attachment-based and trauma-informed approach that helps clients understand the conflicts that happen inside themselves and within their relationships. Many people experience parts of themselves that want different things at the same time, such as closeness and distance, or feel strong emotions that do not seem to match the situation. Therapy helps make sense of these internal struggles with curiosity rather than judgment.
I take a slow, mindful, and relational approach to the therapeutic process. We live in a world where things move quite quickly, in such a way where slowing down can feel scary. But it can also be a great act of resistance. In the therapy room, you will have ample time to explore while I offer presence and guidance along the way. If you and I were to be on a road trip, you are behind the wheel while I help to navigate from the passenger seat
I would love to assist you in beginning your healing journey. Since beginning my counseling career, I have worked with a wide variety of clients from children/adolescent to adults. I am passionate about helping clients who are working on healing from trauma. I also love working with teens and young adults who may be in transitional seasons or are facing overwhelming situations in their life. Additionally, I find joy in walking with those who may be navigating difficult family circumstances and learning to find their place and purpose in life.
Life is full of ups and downs, and I have learned from both personal and professional experience that 'suffering in silence' is not really sustainable or healthy for anyone. You deserve to feel heard and to function at your best level. I have 6 years' experience post-graduation from the University of Texas with helping folks do just that. From nonprofits, to medical clinics, to correctional facilities, to teletherapy, I have connected deeply and partnered with many clients and families to trudge through some of their darkest hours and find more validation, calmness, and acceptance. My fluency in Spanish has given me opportunities to break down walls and connect with hundreds of clients whose cultural background is different than mine. I would be honored to have the chance to see if working together is a good fit for your healing journey.
Welcome! I am so glad you are here. Are you looking for a counselor with great listening skills, experience with online counseling, and a sense of humor to help you navigate your life transitions? I would love to help you! My name is Jennifer Spencer and I have been a LPC (licensed professional counselor) in Texas for over 10 years. I have worked with many different types of clients, helping them overcome their problems with stress, anxiety, burn-out, depression, relationships, and family issues. Whether you need help managing your anxiety, want assistance dealing with parenting (or school) problems, or require support to accept changes to your life, I have tools and resources to guide you.
What will counseling with me look like? Expect me to be honest, friendly, and direct. You will be in a safe environment where you can explore your feelings and your relationships without judgement. Some days you may need a good listener and some days you might want advice, and I am here to provide both. However, as we get to know each other, I will challenge you to set and make progress towards your goals. Although I use a variety of theories to guide me in my work, you will most likely learn a lot of cognitive behavioral techniques working with me. We will move at your pace, but we will examine what you think, and why you think it, to help you understand your feelings. Understanding your feelings, and how they connect to your thoughts and actions, will be your first step in setting goals towards making the changes you want to see in your life.
If you are curious about me, I am not a native Texan, but I got here as soon as I could. I have lived in several different states in big cities and small towns, and I love to travel and explore new places. I now live in a rural area with my husband, children, and dogs. When I am not helping clients or exploring the world with my family, I am probably reading a good book.
I am happy you have made the first step towards making positive change by seeking counseling, and I would love to help guide you towards the new path you want to be on in life.
At my practice, I am dedicated to supporting individuals and families through life's challenges with compassion and evidence-based therapies. My goal is to empower you to lead a more fulfilling and authentic life.
Hello! My name is Sonia Trefflich. I’m a Bilingual Spanish-speaking Licensed Clinical Social Worker and an EMDR-trained therapist. My passion is working with others, especially those who feel damaged and stuck with their pain from past experiences. I have worked with individuals from many cultural, ethnic, and religious backgrounds, and I have a deep understanding of the added challenges that upbringing and identity may present post or pre-trauma.
As a board certified psychotherapist, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step! I have 13 years of experience in the mental health field but more recently have focused on work with adult clients who have unresolved childhood trauma. I also enjoy helping clients who are struggling with depression, anxiety, OCD, stress and life transitions.
I graduated from Texas A&M -Commerce in December of 2014 with a master is counseling. I am trained in family counseling, and untraditional families(LGBTQ and poly) counseling.
As someone who has been a school counselor I realize that a child's mental health is often times directly correlated to their parents mental health. For that reason I love serving children and or adults that struggle with ADHD, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. I also have a huge heart for those who are in need of pregnancy related counseling. Those dealing with loss, infertility, or postpartum depression are a population that is underserved and in need of mental health assistance.

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.
