Find a therapist in Texas — covered by insurance

Hi, I'm Michelle, a psychiatric nurse practitioner passionate about supporting individuals on their mental health journey. I believe in creating safe, compassionate space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. Whether you're facing a new challenge or managing a long-standing condition, I'm here to walk alongside you with care and expertise.

Thank you for stopping by! I am excited to get to know you and begin this beautiful journey of growth. Whether you are starting a new journey or you’re looking to pick up where you left off, I’m glad you stopped by!

It is my passion to work with people, as they challenge themselves to grow and evolve. Many of us experience challenging feelings of depression, anxiety, relationship stress, and stress of dealing with the many transitions of life. At times, these challenging feelings can make us feel alone or isolated from our communities of love and support. I believe that I am here to walk alongside you and provide insight and support as you begin to see yourself grow and reach the goals that you set for yourself. I primarily work from a narrative perspective, but I pull from many different approaches to create a safe and efficient environment for my clients to explore and reflect on themselves and their situations.

I've been working with individuals and families for about 3 years. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Texas, and I earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Tarleton State University. I have a good understanding of neurodivergent needs in both adolescents and adults, and I’ve also helped people manage mood disorders, anxiety, and self-harm. As a proud member of the LGBTQI+ community, I bring my personal experience and insights to my work with queer clients.

I want my clients to know that therapy with me is a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space. I understand that everyone’s journey is different, and I meet each person exactly where they are. My role isn’t to “fix” you, but to walk beside you as we explore challenges, build on strengths, and uncover solutions together.

As a veteran and counselor, I know what it means to face change, loss, and uncertainty—and I bring that understanding into my work. I believe healing happens through connection, honesty, and compassion. Whether we’re talking, creating, or using play in the therapy room, my goal is to help you feel heard, respected, and empowered.

I also want you to know that I’m real and relatable—I laugh, I listen deeply, and I genuinely care about your progress. You don’t have to have everything figured out to begin; you just have to be willing to start.

I have had a state LAC license in Arizona for 10 years and worked in behavioral health for 14 years. I am Gottman Method certified in couple/marriage therapy and trained in IFS for past traumatic experiences. Extensive training in CBT, ACT modalities to help you learn how the brain processes thoughts and emotions, how you can trick your cognition to commit to the changes needed to live a happy and rewarding life.

As a licensed therapist with over three decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through life's complex challenges. My practice centers on helping clients navigate stress, anxiety, family dynamics, grief, and significant life transitions. I have worked with a vast population: healthcare, residential, mental health and the unhoused.

“Only those who sow seeds of change can hope to grow and reap a harvest.”

Hi, I’m Liz, a therapist who believes healing starts with feeling truly seen and heard. My approach is gentle but direct, and I focus on what’s actually working in your life while finding small, realistic steps toward change. Many of the people I work with are women navigating grief, anxiety, trauma, or the challenges of motherhood. I also understand that sometimes we’re not trying to thrive , we’re just trying to survive in a world that can feel heavy and unpredictable. My goal is to help you make sense of that survival mode, find steadiness within it, and slowly reconnect with you again.

Mental health counseling is a form of help that can be tailored to meet the diverse needs of many individuals. Some mental health professionals, including me, intentionally incorporate spiritual or religious elements into their therapeutic practices. I do so because I primarily serve a Christian community, because my clients also adhere to religious principles in their own lives, and I subscribe to the belief that people experiencing distress can especially benefit from the help of God and spiritual empowerment.
