Find a therapist in Texas — covered by insurance

As a licensed clinical social worker with a master’s degree from The National Catholic School of Social Services, I bring extensive experience from my work in university-based teaching hospitals and ambulatory care clinics. My practice focuses on supporting adults and their caregivers through challenges such as anxiety, depression, complex medical conditions (acute and chronic), medical trauma, loss, grief, and significant life transitions.

I have a specialization in guiding individuals and their caregivers through the cancer journey, encompassing every phase—from diagnosis and treatment to recovery, survivorship, and end-of-life care. I have also worked extensively with patients undergoing stem cell transplants, CAR-T and immunotherapy.

My training and experience also includes helping individuals manage disorders of the brain-gut interaction. Support, education and strategies address the connection between the mind and gastrointestinal health. Recognizing that everyday stressors can greatly affect your well-being, I adapt my clinical approach to suit a variety of life situations, always tailoring care to meet your unique needs.

Greetings. My name is Dennis Steelman. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC). I carry two professional certifications in Mental Health Teletherapy (CTMH), and as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). I hold a Master’s Degree in Professional Counseling and a Master’s Degree in Addictions Counseling. I obtained both graduate degrees from Liberty University.

My approach to therapy is mainly through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR). CBT is a highly effective modality of treatment that is aimed at correcting negative beliefs and identifying negative thoughts. This is of course an oversimplification of CBT but illustrates the crux of what CBT looks like. EMDR is a highly effective treatment for PTSD and other trauma-related illnesses. EMDR is a specialized form of treatment that has been proven to not only be effective for the treatment of trauma, but emerging research also suggests EMDR is highly effective in the treatment of a wide array of illnesses.

I believe that therapy should carry certain expectations, just like any other form of treatment. An individual coming into treatment should expect to see positive results. An individual coming into treatment should expect to see progress in their treatment through a collaborative effort between the therapist and the client.

I chose to specialize in the treatment of trauma and related negative life events because of the damage they can do to the individual. It is my experience that those who have endured harmful life events are often locked into a pattern of negative thinking, believing, and behavior. I look forward to working with those individuals looking to break free of those patterns.

Inviting someone into your most personal space can be intimidating, scary, and daunting, but despite that, here you are! I am Dawn, and have been a licensed professional counselor for the last few years. I'm EMDR trained and a Certified Trauma and Resiliency Practitioner. I will walk alongside you on your journey, be open and honest, while providing a safe, supportive, and caring environment. My specialties include Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Relationships, Family Issues, and Co-parenting.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or stretched thin by anxiety, depression, relationship stress, or life changes, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I work with individuals who want a space to feel understood, supported, and empowered as they move through challenges and toward meaningful growth. My goal is to create an affirming, compassionate environment where you can show up as you are and begin making sense of what you’re carrying.

Therapy that gets you. Healing that grows you.

Hi, I’m Larneka — a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor who believes healing begins when you feel seen, understood, and supported. My approach is warm, authentic, and empowering.

I help adults navigate trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I’m passionate about serving BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and underserved communities by providing therapy that honors each person’s identity and lived experience.

I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who works with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, mood disorders, OCD, and substance use concerns. My background includes structured treatment settings supporting recovery, stabilization, and long-term mental health management.

I provide warm, practical, and judgment-free care where clients feel heard and supported. Many people come to treatment feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to begin, and my goal is to simplify the process and provide clear direction forward.

I focus on thoughtful medication management and practical strategies that support lasting stability and meaningful progress.

I am a warm and creative counselor dedicated to helping clients reach their full potential. I enjoy working with individuals ages 3 through adulthood, guiding them on their mental health journey through empathy, collaboration, and goal setting. By using research-based practices, I strive to empower each person to grow, heal, and become the best version of themselves.

Welcome to my practice. I’m a Master of Social Work clinician with a degree from Walla Walla University (2016), and I’ve been providing mental health counseling ever since. My work has primarily focused on supporting adults experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, and stress related to major life changes. I entered this field to meet people where they are emotionally and to support them in reaching their personal goals.
