I am a double board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health and Family Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC, FNP-C) with over 15 years of nursing experience and clinical practice as a family nurse practitioner since 2020. I provide compassionate, evidence-based mental health care to adolescents and adults, including comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, diagnosis, medication management, and supportive treatment for conditions such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, bipolar disorder, mood disorders, personality disorders, and other behavioral health concerns.

As a board-certified psychotherapist and supervisor, I believe that everyone deserves a safe space to explore, heal, and grow.

Are you feeling stuck, like you are caught in endless patterns and struggling to move forward? Life is too short to live trapped in anxiety/depression, unhealthy relational patterns, overwhelming fear, and/or trauma wounds from the past. I help you to identify the root cause and be free from those burdens that bog you down to live the life you want, discover peace, find joy & live better. I am here to walk with you each step of the way as together we navigate the path forward.
Welcome! I’m Dr. Tawanda Kitchen, a counselor and educational leader dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges with courage, clarity, and compassion. With a Doctorate in Educational Leadership & Management from Alliant International University, a Master’s in Counseling from California State University, Fresno, and a Bachelor’s in Communications from Biola University, I bring both academic excellence and real-world experience to my practice.
Over the years, I’ve worked across California, Illinois, Louisiana, and Texas—supporting clients in educational, clinical, and community settings. My approach integrates emotional intelligence, faith-informed insight, and practical strategies for growth.
I specialize in:
- Relationship and marital counseling
- Family systems and parent-child dynamics
- Anxiety, adjustment, and stress management
- Self-esteem and identity development
- Grief, loss, and life transitions I believe that healing begins with awareness and thrives through connection. Whether you’re rebuilding after loss, redefining your identity, or restoring relationships, my goal is to help you move forward with renewed purpose and peace.
As humans traverse through life, one should never feel that they are walking in solitude. The experience of relational conversations that affirm, support, and empower should be common. Yet, that is not always the case which is why I do what I do; I counsel, I encourage, I motivate with joy!
I have over 30 years of experience in diverse fields of mental health. I love what I do and have a true passion to help people.

It is my goal to help clients understand their diagnosis, set goals of what coping looks like, and establish a strong and healthy support system. I also focus on healthy living skills, which entails balancing social and emotional well-being. My belief as a therapist is for each client to see steps of progression leading towards their obtainable goals.

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.
