I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families across a variety of treatment settings, including community mental health, residential, and acute care environments. My background includes leadership, clinical supervision, crisis intervention, and comprehensive treatment planning, which allows me to support clients with both immediate concerns and long-term growth.
I specialize in working with mood disorders, trauma-related concerns, behavioral challenges, anxiety, depression, anger management, and major life transitions. I also have extensive experience supporting adolescents and families navigating emotional regulation, defiance, impulsivity, and interpersonal conflict. My approach is structured yet compassionate, helping clients feel both supported and empowered.
In therapy, I use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), solution-focused techniques, and trauma-informed care. I believe in meeting clients where they are, building a strong therapeutic relationship, and creating a safe, non-judgmental space where real change can happen. My goal is to help you gain clarity, strengthen coping skills, and move toward the life you want with confidence and stability.
Whether you’re facing stress, emotional overwhelm, relationship challenges, or simply feeling stuck, I am here to walk alongside you with understanding, professionalism, and care.
I work with adults and the occasional adolescent to reconnect with their bodies and emotions in order to develop insight and grow.
I studied clinical mental health counseling at Sam Houston State University, and have received further training in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy and expressive arts therapy.
Hi I'm Amanda and I specialize in working with Christian women who want to find freedom from the generational cycles that have kept them feeling stuck. I understand that sometimes you get so busy taking care of everyone else that you end up with your own mental health on the backburner. I want to help you know and care for yourself so that you can find your peace and joy again.

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.
