Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Buda, TX

Hello! My name is Marcie and I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. My passion is helping individuals find their peace, confidence, and clarity. With a deep commitment to mental wellness, I offer compassionate, evidence-based care for children, teens, and adults across the lifespan.

Background & Education

I earned my Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) from Rush University in Chicago, IL and received my Psychiatric specialization from National University in San Diego CA. I have my national board certification through the ANCC and have trained in a variety of clinical settings, including outpatient psychiatry, integrated primary care, and crisis intervention services.

I graduated with a BS in Education from Texas A&M in 1970 and Graduated from University of Houston/Clear Lake in 1990 with a Master's Degree in Counseling. I taught in the first Federally Funded Kindergarten program for economically deprived children in Texas. I taught kindergarten until 1989 when I became an elementary school counselor until retiring from the school system. I worked in an agency for one year before establishing my private practice. I now only work remotely. I trained in Heart Math, a medical tool to help calm the brain. I like to work with clients to minimize their negative thinking and shift to positive consciousness, using the writings of Dr. David Hawkins.

I am a Clinical Social Worker, based in the Woodlands, Texas, specializing in working with adults and older adults facing grief, depression, and anxiety. I provide a calm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported I believe that healing happens at your own pace, and I am here to walk alongside you with care and respect.

I specialize in helping individuals navigate life transitions, anxiety, depression, narcissism, codependency, people-pleasing, and trauma. My approach is client-centered and collaborative, tailored to your specific needs and goals.

Choosing a therapist is an important and personal decision. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and respected, while also helping you make meaningful and lasting changes.

I am a licensed psychotherapist with over 10 years of experience, and I specialize in trauma-informed, evidence-based care. As a prior military service member, I have a deep understanding of military culture and the unique stressors faced by service members, veterans, and their families. I work with both military and civilian clients who are navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, sleep and pain challenges, substance use concerns, relationship stress, and major life transitions.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people work through anxiety, trauma, relationship stress, and life changes. I’m also a mom and a PhD student, so I understand what it’s like to feel overwhelmed while trying to hold everything together. I believe healing isn’t a straight line—and that’s okay. In our sessions, you’ll find a safe, supportive space where we can figure things out together. Therapy with me is honest, down-to-earth, and all about helping you feel more in control of your life.
