Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in College Station, TX

I am an advanced practice registered nurse who specializes in diagnosing, treating, and supporting individuals with psychiatric and behavioral health conditions. Combining clinical expertise with a holistic, person‐centered approach,

Hi, I’m Maddie! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a specialization in trauma. I have spent most of my professional time working with children and adolescents so I know the vast childhood experiences anyone coming into therapy may bring.

I find it an immense privilege to be a trauma therapist and work with my clients on the hardest topics they may have experienced. I want you to find safety in our relationship to explore what has happened to you and who you want to become from that experience. I am trained in EMDR, an evidence -based treatment for trauma and love bringing in creative ways for my clients to experience the healing that can come through EMDR. I want you to feel that each hour we bring is your own and your goals for therapy are always at the forefront of my mind and work.

When I am not working as a therapist, I enjoy a variety of creative activities including cooking, baking, and crochet. I also love spending time outdoors or swimming to recharge and reset myself for my next day of therapy.

Doctoral-trained nurse practitioner who is truthful, respectful, and very empathetic to clients. Allows clients to fully participate in developing an individualized, robust treatment plan tailored to the client.

Hi y'all, I'm Malanna, rhymes with Madonna! I’m quite the unorthodox therapist, so I’ve been told, because I approach mental health with the same sincerity that we take with our physical health. I have a lot of respect and appreciation for the people who sit in front of me and trust me with their vulnerability. I'm big on cooperation; pairing your self-insights with my expertise. I'll do my best to help you highlight all of your hidden strengths, buried wins, and natural gifts that life can make us lose sight of! I currently offer telehealth services but I can guarantee it’ll be just as good as seeing me in person!

Hi, I'm Emily. I’m a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor. I specialize in working with individuals navigating anxiety, anger management, PTSD, and alcohol or substance use. Many of the people I work with are looking not just for relief, but for a deeper understanding of themselves and why they feel the way they do, and how to create lasting change. Whether you’re facing daily stressors, working through past experiences, or trying to regain a sense of control, therapy can be a space to slow down, process, and begin moving forward.

My hometown is San Antonio, Texas, where I earned my undergraduate degree from Our Lady of the Lake University and my graduate degree from Texas A&M University. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work in a variety of settings, including schools, community agencies, hospitals, and emergency shelters, supporting people from various backgrounds and life experiences.

Much of my work has been with individuals navigating trauma and substance use, and I understand how heavy and isolating those experiences can feel.

Outside of my work, I enjoy reading, movies and spending time with my family and our dog. I also understand how complex life can be—balancing responsibilities, relationships, and expectations—and I bring that understanding into the space we share.

If you’re thinking about starting therapy, I’d be honored to walk alongside you in that process.

I am passionate about helping people feel seen, heard, and supported as they navigate life's challenges and discover their inner strengths. My approach is to create an authentic and individual relationship with my clients so they can explore their thoughts, feelings, and hopes without judgment.

I am a bilingual LPC with experience treating women and children, trauma survivors, depression, anxiety, & behavioral issues. My focus is on providing a safe and supportive space where women and children age 8+ can identify and change unhealthy thinking patterns and behaviors.

Hi, my name is Paris Patton and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with experience working in inpatient, outpatient, and community settings. I specialize in supporting children, adolescents, and young adults with challenges related to anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, and self-esteem.

So much of my work is rooted in one question: what happens when we stop trusting ourselves? For me, that question became very personal.

After the birth of my first child, I found myself carrying not only physical pain but a deep sense of disconnection. I was listening to every voice but my own — questioning my body, my instincts, my inner wisdom. It was disorienting in a way I hadn't expected.

With my second child, something shifted. The experience felt empowering, attuned, and deeply mine. I listened inward. I trusted my body. And I witnessed firsthand just how intelligent and wise the body truly is when we feel safe enough to connect with it.

That journey brought me back to something foundational — the body knows. Our minds and bodies are constantly communicating with us. But life has a way of teaching us to override those signals. Trauma, stress, cultural conditioning, the pressure to hold it all together — they all teach us to ignore our inner knowing. Healing, I believe, is often about learning to listen again. It's a homecoming.

Successful therapy begins by meeting the client where they’re at. As a clinical therapist with a background in social work, I believe therapy should be client-centered with a feeling of safety and trust. I pull techniques from various well-known therapies that are unique to the client's needs, acting as a guide, partnering with the client to find the best path to success. Some may need only one or two sessions, while others more. Regardless, this is a journey that we can figure out together.

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist whose work is grounded in evidence-based, compassionate care. I completed advanced graduate training in clinical psychology, followed by supervised work in outpatient and higher-acuity settings, where I treated adults and adolescents with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship difficulties.

In my practice, I primarily use approaches like CBT, ACT, and trauma-informed therapies, integrating them in a way that’s tailored to each person rather than one-size-fits-all. I pay close attention to cultural and contextual factors, and I use measurement-based care so we can see whether treatment is actually helping you over time.

Clients often describe me as understanding, direct, and collaborative: I’ll bring structure and clinical expertise while also respecting your pace and values. I work with individual adults (and in some cases teens) who are dealing with issues like chronic stress, perfectionism, identity and life transitions, grief, and the impact of past traumatic experiences.

My goal is to provide a space that is both validating and change-focused; somewhere you can be fully honest, feel understood, and also develop practical skills to live in a way that feels more aligned with who you want to be
