I have experience with being a caretaker of someone with chronic conditions as a dad and as a son. I believe in being authentic in my sessions.
Hi, I’m Nicole! I’m passionate about bringing a relatable and contemporary vibe to the mental health space. I hold a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, and my professional background includes work in psychiatric outpatient hospitals, public schools, and private practice.
I specialize in working with children, teens, and adults navigating the complexities of ADHD, Autism, PTSD, Anxiety, and OCD. My approach is holistic and comprehensive; I believe that while I provide the clinical tools, you remain the expert of your own life. I’m here to act as your partner in bridging the gap between your daily routine and your core values.
I give you a space to explore, feel, question, cry, scream, cuss, fall apart, and fall together. I like wrestling with whatever it is that is coming up in your heart or mind. I am open minded and care about the burdens you carry around everyday. It's hard work to grow yourself and we can work together to create and achieve your goals. I believe your story matters and holds a lot of power in shaping your life.
Welcome, I am a veteran of the United States Army, and became a Substance Use Counselor after becoming a civilian again. Life can be a struggle and many times our past experiences tend to hold us back. I thrive seeing my clients move into the present day and plan for a bright future. I am a God-fearing Christian and feel that nobody should be turned down for mental health services so please contact me and let's start this journey to tomorrow together.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) dedicated to helping clients navigate emotional, behavioral, and life challenges in a supportive and collaborative environment. My goal is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can better understand yourself, build practical coping skills, and work toward meaningful change at your own pace.
I completed my graduate training in clinical mental health counseling and hold licensure as an LPC. I continue to pursue ongoing professional development to stay current with best practices in the field.
I primarily work with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem concerns, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I also have experience supporting clients working through trauma, grief and loss, burnout, and difficulties with emotional regulation.
My therapeutic approach is integrative and tailored to each client’s needs, drawing from evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques. I also incorporate trauma-informed care to ensure sessions are paced and structured in a way that feels safe and supportive.
I aim to offer a warm, practical, and collaborative style of counseling, focusing on helping clients gain insight, develop effective coping strategies, and build confidence in managing life’s challenges.

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.
