Find a therapist in Texas — covered by insurance

Hi there, I’m Patrice Noel, a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing tele-health care across Texas. I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults, and I support people navigating anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, psychosis, ADHD, OCD, trauma, substance use, grief, sleep concerns, eating disorders, and major life transitions. I believe asking for help is a real act of strength, and I’m proud to create an inclusive space for a wide range of individuals, including LGBTQ+ clients and military veterans.

My goal and focus is to help individuals heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths. We achieve this in a partnership together to facilitate positive change and realize your true potential for growth and happiness.

We will work together to identify problem area's you would like to address and establish treatment goals in a safe environment to help the you the client realize your own growth potential and make positive change in a supportive counseling setting.

I know that reaching out for help takes courage — and I want to make that process as simple and comfortable as possible. My practice focuses on anxiety, depression, and addiction, and I believe real progress happens when you feel heard and respected every step of the way. I take time to understand what's going on in your life before we talk about next steps, whether that's medication, therapy, or both. My goal is to give you clear information and practical support so you feel more in control of your mental health.

As a licensed professional counselor, I believe your mental health matters. I help clients who feel stuck, overwhelmed, confused, or unlike themselves. I work with adults, teens, and families navigating worry, sadness, stress, and the challenges that come with anxiety, depression, and trauma.

As your therapist, my goal is to create a warm and welcoming environment to help you heal. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 13 years of experience in treating depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, stress, trauma, personality disorders and other mental health issues. I currently provide services to clients 18 years and older. I have experience in working with individuals, couples and families. I serve the LBGTQ+ community, young adults, college students, and older adults.

I’m a native Houstonian who grew up in the struggle, so I understand resilience on a personal level. That background shaped not only my strength but also my ability to truly connect with others who are navigating life’s challenges.

As an educated therapist, I bring both professional expertise and lived experience to the work I do. My clients often describe me as funny, personable, and warm—the kind of therapist who just gets it. My style is down-to-earth, authentic, and supportive, and I create a space where you can show up as your full self without judgment.

Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just need someone who will listen and help you see things from a new perspective, I’m here to walk with you through it.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I received my graduate degree in Professional Counseling in 2009. I have worked in several capacities of counseling and coaching. I have worked as a Career Coach. I have conducted presentations on personality assessment interpretations and occupational soft skills. I work with clients experiencing depression as a result of loss, conflict resolution - supporting individuals with communication challenges, and guidance on managing relationships in a healthy way. Together our work is to bridge the gap between hope and despair.

Are you tired of carrying the weight of anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, or self-doubt on your own? Life can be overwhelming, especially when you're trying to meet everyone's expectations while struggling to meet your own. Therapy offers a space where you can slow down, be heard, and gain clarity without judgment. You don't need to have all the answers before reaching out. Together, we'll identify what's holding you back, build on your strengths, and create meaningful change so you can feel more confident, balanced, and in control of your life.

I believe therapy works best when you feel understood, respected, and never judged. My approach is collaborative and practical, helping you develop skills that you can use outside of our sessions rather than simply talking through problems week after week. I primarily use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), an evidence-based approach that helps people respond differently to difficult thoughts and emotions while taking meaningful action toward the life they want to build.

Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, or overwhelming stress, my goal is to create a space where you can be honest about what you're experiencing and feel supported as we work toward lasting change. I strive to balance compassion with directness, offering both validation and practical strategies to help you move forward in a way that aligns with your values.

I Look Forward to Getting to Know You

I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW). This means that I put mental health at the top of my priorities list. Research shows that almost everyone in this world suffers from mental health issues at some point in their lives. This is the driving force behind my practice. I want everyone to know there is someone there to support them when they are at their lowest point. It is hard to ask for help. That is why I am proud of you for reaching out and seeking help when many do not. I am here with a helping hand to lift you up!
