ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Harker Heights, TX

Are you feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, anxious, or struggling to find balance in your daily life? You do not have to navigate it alone. I provide compassionate, personalized mental health care in a supportive and judgment-free environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered.

I'm Rita, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, dedicated to guiding individuals through their mental health journeys with compassion and evidence-based care.

As a Doctor in Professional Counseling, DPC, LPC-S ,MEd., is my mission to provide compassionate, confidential, and Professional counseling services for individuals, couples and families. My goal is to help you improve your relationships and overall mental health . I understand the important role that your mental health plays in your overall well-being.

I love helping people develop skills to improve their lives, communication and relationships. It is important to know that one theory does not meet everyone’s needs, therefore I use many different approaches to helping my clients to build their own best version of themselves.

I have a very mellow, approachable style, and my main goal is to help my patients reach their goals. Many of the people I work with feel like they haven’t been truly heard before, or that medication was presented as their only option. I take time to listen and make sure you feel comfortable, understood, and involved in your care. I also grew up in an immigrant household, where mental health wasn’t always talked about or seen as an option, and that experience really shaped how I work with my patients today.

I am a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with experience providing care in both inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings. My clinical background allows me to support adults across a wide range of mental health needs—from acute stabilization to ongoing outpatient treatment—while maintaining a thoughtful, individualized approach to care.

I received my Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) degree from Texas State University, where I developed a strong foundation in evidence-based psychiatric assessment, diagnosis, and treatment. I am known for my warm, approachable style and for taking the time to truly listen, as I believe effective mental health care begins with trust, collaboration, and feeling understood.

I specialize in the evaluation and treatment of anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, ADHD, trauma-related concerns, and life stressors. My approach emphasizes conservative medication management, clear patient education, and shared decision-making so individuals feel informed and confident in their care.

In addition to my psychiatric training, I have a background in women’s health, which enhances my understanding of how physical health and life-stage factors can influence mental well-being. This perspective allows me to provide well-rounded, inclusive care for all adults.

Whether you are seeking psychiatric care for the first time, transitioning from inpatient treatment, or looking for ongoing outpatient support, my goal is to provide a supportive, non-judgmental environment where you feel respected, heard, and empowered throughout your care.

Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in self doubt, struggling with ADHD, or trying to navigate major life changes without the support they need. You may feel exhausted from overthinking, constantly second guessing yourself, or carrying the pressure of work, school, relationships, or daily responsibilities. Therapy can be a space where you feel genuinely supported, understood, and accepted while building the tools needed to move forward with greater confidence and clarity.
