Top therapists in Texas accepting new patients
I am a versatile mental health professional dedicated to supporting individuals of all ages across Texas. I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling and bring an extensive dual background as both a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Certified School Counselor (CSC). This unique combination allows me to expertly bridge the gap between school system dynamics and deep clinical healing.
I adopt a highly personalized approach to therapy, rejecting "one-size-fits-all" treatment. Instead, I use from a diverse therapeutic toolkit to tailor sessions entirely to each individual's needs. My core specialties include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for restructuring unhelpful thought patterns, Play Therapy to help children process emotions naturally, and Trauma-Informed Care to provide a safe, structured space for healing.
My dual credentialing gives me a profound understanding of childhood development, student academic stressors, and school-based interventions. However, my clinical expertise extends far beyond the classroom, allowing me to successfully guide adults and families through life transitions, anxiety, and complex trauma. No matter the client's age, I am committed to meeting people exactly where they are on their mental health journey.
I describe myself as a “hope dealer” with a passion for mental health. Over the past six years, I’ve worked with TDCJ, nonprofits, and juvenile justice systems, gaining experience in abuse and neglect, trauma, substance misuse, anger management, recovery support, and women’s and veterans’ issues.
I provide Mental Health Counseling, Substance Misuse Counseling, Anger Management services, Trauma-Informed Care, Drug & Alcohol Screenings, Assessments, Referrals, SASSIs, and DOT Assessments.
Grounded in ethics, creativity, and compassion, my approach feels like a conversation at your kitchen table—supportive, safe, and nonjudgmental. I walk with you step by step as you heal, grow, and reclaim hope.
Hello and welcome—I'm so glad you're here.
My name is Shanna Gardner, LPC-S, and I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor with over 20 years of experience in the mental health field. I'm deeply passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and discover a sense of peace, purpose, and emotional wellness.
I believe that therapy should be a space where you feel safe, heard, and truly understood. Whether you're dealing with overwhelming stress, navigating a tough life transition, or managing symptoms of anxiety or depression, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
Hi there. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, focus, or any other mood symptoms, I'm here. You don't have to struggle alone. I can help you feel like yourself again. I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing personalized care to children, teens, and adults. I am also dual certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner, which allows me to bring a more comprehensive, whole-person perspective to mental health care. I consider emotional, physical, and lifestyle factors to develop treatment plans that are effective and sustainable.
I specialize in the evaluation and treatment of anxiety, panic, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, and stress-related conditions. I also have experience helping individuals navigate life transitions, hormonal issues, sleep concerns, and difficulty with fatigue, focus, motivation, overthinking, and emotional regulation, including clients with chronic illnesses.
As humans traverse through life, one should never feel that they are walking in solitude. The experience of relational conversations that affirm, support, and empower should be common. Yet, that is not always the case which is why I do what I do; I counsel, I encourage, I motivate with joy!
I believe therapy is a collaborative effort, and that, therapy works for those that work it. My ultimate goal is to assist clients in establishing attainable goals, and supporting them as they work to obtain improved functioning overall in their daily lives. I received both my Bachelor of Arts and Master of Education from the University of St. Thomas, in Houston, and have been a Licensed Professional Counselor since 2018.
Hello! I'm Stephanie Tran, currently a counselor for the detention center in my county. I obtained my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lubbock Christian University, and my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from West Virginia University.
I am a certified grief counselor and nationally certified by the National Board of Certified Counselors (NBCC).
My passion is helping individuals find their voice, their own passion, and helping guide people forward in their own journeys.
As a counselor, my ultimate goal is to assist every individual with becoming their own best advocates and working towards self-accountability.
Recognizing the need for growth and change can feel intimidating, but taking that first step toward therapy shows courage and a willingness to invest in yourself. I create a warm, supportive space where clients can safely explore past and present experiences. Together, we work to understand patterns, emotions, and challenges that may be holding you back. I view therapy as a collaborative journey where we move at your pace while building insight, self-acceptance, and meaningful change. My goal is to help you reconnect with your strengths and move toward a more balanced, fulfilling life.
