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.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I believe placing mental health first is fundamental to achieving happiness and balance in life. Reaching out for support can be incredibly difficult, you deserve recognition for the real strength required to ask for help. I’ve been practicing since 2022, focusing on adults navigating life’s mental health struggles, with a concentration on grief, anxiety, self esteem, and relational issues.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist with specialized training in trauma, PTSD, and complex-PTSD. I use a variety of modalities to match each client's unique needs and preferences, including but not limited to EMDR, parts work, attachment, mindfulness, somatic work, and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy.
Everyone deserves to feel safe within their own body and mind. My role is to help guide people to their inner resilience and foster hope for change that at times may feel impossible. To me, therapy is a collaborative process that we create together to reach your goals.
My training has prepared me to provide tailored counseling to individuals, couples, and children navigate challenges of marriage, divorce, and illness or loss of loved ones. Along with private practice, I have worked at behavioral hospitals helping clients struggling with challenges of depression, anxiety, and trauma.
Have you been feeling lost and overwhelmed? You are probably here because you struggle with anxiety, trouble sleeping, feeling down and hopeless, maybe having nightmares and flashbacks of stressful events or you lost someone important and are struggling to cope with grief. All that sounds like a lot to deal with alone so It is good that you are here. This a great step towards your mental health and healing process.
One's mental health is equally as important as physical health. With this belief, I decided to devote my time in building my practice, Open Horizons. I'm a psychologist trained in clinical/forensic psychology. My training and experience have allowed me to develop clinical expertise in treatment modalities that are evidence based, such as CBT and ACT. I have extensive training in the assessment of psychological concerns including diagnostic clarification/personality functioning.
I believe that healthy change starts from within and my role is to be a guide during this process. Often times we feel we are stuck in a rut with no way out, but together we'll work on building self-empowerment, better self-care, and self-awareness. No matter what you're going through there's always room to learn and grow from the past to make a better future. I specialize in anxiety disorders, trauma and PTSD, and building self-confidence. I'm also trained in Brainspotting.
I specialize in childhood trauma & how it shows up in our adult life. My experiences include: relationship issues, dealing with addiction & how it affects the entire family, personality disorders, codependency, depression and anxiety. I have continuing education in Gottman Marriage therapy, Internal family systems, and integrative therapy.
You may be carrying more than most people realize. Maybe you're trying to heal from trauma, manage the stress of a chronic health condition, navigate pregnancy or new parenthood, repair a relationship, or simply get through each day without feeling exhausted or overwhelmed. You don't have to keep pretending you're okay or figure it all out on your own. My goal is to help you feel supported, regain your confidence, and build a life that feels calmer, healthier, and more like you again.
Hi, I’m Missy Davison, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) serving clients in Texas and Arkansas. With over 17 years of experience, I specialize in helping older teens and adults heal from trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and life’s difficult challenges.
As a Christian trauma therapist, I believe healing is possible and that no one should have to walk through their struggles alone. My goal is to provide a warm, safe, and nonjudgmental space where you feel seen, heard, and supported as you work toward lasting healing and peace.
I am trained in evidence-based approaches, including EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT). Together, we will find the approach that best fits your unique needs, helping you process painful experiences, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and move forward with greater confidence and freedom.
For clients who desire it, I also integrate Christian faith into the counseling process, offering a foundation of hope, grace, and encouragement alongside proven therapeutic techniques.
Taking the first step toward healing can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to do it alone. It would be an honor to walk alongside you as you move from surviving to truly living with greater peace, healing, and hope.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist in Texas (License #38884) providing evidence-based psychotherapy for a range of psychological problems in adults. My specialties include coping with chronic pain, recovering from trauma, and learning to manage difficult emotions.
I obtained my doctorate from the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) in 2011. For the past decade, I have worked extensively in the treatment of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), chronic pain, and emotion dysregulation.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a 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.
