I’m Elizabeth, a Filipina American Psychiatric‐Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and founder of Her Mind & Wellness. My practice is built on the belief that mental‐health care should feel human, culturally aware, and deeply supportive.

I believe healing happens when you feel seen, safe, and understood. My practice blends modern psychiatry with a nurturing, human approach — creating a space where you can breathe, reset, and rebuild your wellness with guidance that feels gentle, clear, and empowering.

Dr. Joey Achacoso

Dr. Joey Achacoso

Therapist

Virtual • Pflugerville, TX


I’m Dr. Joey Achacoso, PhD, LPC-S, CIT—a developmental psychologist, Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor, Certified IMAGO Therapist, child-centered play therapist, and parent coach. For more than two decades, I have helped children, teens, adults, couples, parents, and families navigate difficult moments and find their way back to greater understanding, confidence, and connection. Long before becoming a therapist, I was drawn to roles centered on listening, teaching, and helping others—including serving as a youth minister and volunteer Big Buddy. Those experiences still shape the warmth, curiosity, and respect I bring to therapy today. I do not reduce people to symptoms or treat their strengths as problems. Instead, we explore the needs and patterns beneath the struggle and develop practical new ways of responding. My treatment areas include anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, relationship conflict, parenting challenges, intense childhood behavior, emotional regulation, and family disconnection. My work draws from relational, developmental, family-systems, IMAGO, cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, and play-therapy approaches.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

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.
