Anxiety treatment is most effective when it’s active and collaborative, with practice that continues between sessions. This often includes readings and between-session exercises. Many people who haven’t found relief in traditional talk therapy discover that evidence-based approaches feel very different—and far more effective. With over 20 years as an anxiety specialist, we'll get you feeling better fast.
Hi, I’m Micah, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a decade of overall healthcare experience across the lifespan—from pediatric care to hospice care. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and mood disorders, and I believe care should feel like a real conversation—not a lecture. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and yes... we can laugh a little along the way too. Whether you’re starting fresh or picking yourself back up, I’m here to help you feel more like you again.
I view people like quilts: layered, unique, and shaped by life’s experiences. Some pieces are strengthened by love and resilience, while others are worn by grief, divorce, trauma, or survival. Healing doesn’t require discarding parts of yourself. Even the worn places can become part of something whole.
My therapy style is collaborative, compassionate, and client-centered. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. I integrate evidence-based approaches with curiosity and flexibility, tailoring therapy to each person’s unique needs and goals. I value authenticity, practical tools, and meaningful insight to support lasting change.
With more than 25 years of experience in behavioral health, I specialize in working with professional women, caregivers, and healthcare professionals who are navigating burnout, life transitions, anxiety, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, and substance use recovery. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a background in substance use treatment, military social work, and medical social work with the Department of Veterans Affairs, I bring both clinical expertise and genuine lived experience to our work together.
I know firsthand how easy it is for women to lose themselves in the demands of work and family. As a retired VA social work supervisor, breast cancer survivor, and someone who has navigated burnout while caring for others, I bring deep empathy to every session — not just training. I provide virtual therapy, so you can access support from wherever feels most comfortable.
Aloha, I have been in the mental health field for over 20 years. I am opening up my doors to help those with a mental health diagnosis or gaining a diagnosis on a more personal level. I enjoy helping others and assisting them in achieving their mental health goals. Working with all ages has helped me keep in the flow of life and updated on issues that represent our different generations. I am a former Federal Officer and Military spouse. I look forward to working with you.

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.
