Find a therapist in Texas — covered by insurance

Hi, I'm a bilingual and bicultural Licensed Professional Counselor and EMDR Trained clinician

with 10 years of experience. I work with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, relationship

concerns, family conflict, and major life transitions. I offer in-person therapy in Houston and virtual care

across Texas.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) providing compassionate, holistic mental health care for individuals across the lifespan. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, insomnia, schizophrenia, and substance use challenges, helping them regain balance and confidence in their lives.

My approach to care is warm, empowering, and collaborative. I believe every person deserves to feel heard, understood, and supported while navigating their mental health journey. I work closely with each client to develop a personalized treatment plan that supports emotional well-being, symptom management, and long-term stability.

With experience in both inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings, I have supported individuals facing complex mental health challenges and life stressors. I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive therapy, while incorporating lifestyle and coping strategies that promote lasting wellness.

I am passionate about helping people develop the tools and understanding they need to take control of their mental health. My goal is to create a safe, judgment-free environment where clients feel comfortable sharing their experiences and working toward meaningful change.

Hello, I'm Stacey Hernandez, and I specialize in grief and loss, anxiety, depression, anxiety, stress management, and trauma, with 14 years of experience in counseling in various settings, such as school settings, children's bereavement center, and rape crisis center. I am dedicated to providing personalized care and support to each client.

Over the years, I have had the privilege of helping numerous individuals achieve improved mental health, enhanced coping skills, and increased self-awareness.

I believe therapy should be a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported without judgment. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Addiction Counselor, Doctor of Social Work, and Doctor of Theology, I provide compassionate, collaborative, and person-centered care through a holistic, trauma-informed, and spiritual approach.

I work with adults who have experienced trauma and are navigating anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, substance use, and co-occurring mental health concerns. I understand that trauma can affect your emotional, mental, physical, relational, and spiritual well-being. Together, we will explore how your experiences have shaped your thoughts, feelings, relationships, and coping patterns while building safety, healthy coping skills, emotional regulation, and meaningful boundaries.

My goal is to create a supportive environment where you can move at your own pace, feel empowered in your healing, and work toward meaningful change.

Bowen Family Systems theory is what I use to guide me with my clients.
