You look like you have it together—but inside, your relationship feels strained, communication breaks down, or anxiety and overthinking take over. Whether you’re a couple stuck in the same arguments, a teen struggling emotionally, or an adult feeling overwhelmed, you don’t have to figure this out alone. I provide therapy in San Antonio for couples, teens, and adults who want real, lasting change. I specialize in “couples therapy,” “teen counseling,” and “therapy for anxiety and relationship issues,” helping clients improve communication, manage emotions, and break unhealthy patterns.

If you've spent your life providing, surviving, and holding things together for everyone else, therapy can feel like one more thing to manage. I work with men and working people who are tired of feeling anxious, isolated, or stuck, and who want to feel like themselves again. As a bilingual therapist raised in San Antonio, I understand the pressures of low wages, generational trauma, and the expectation to keep pushing no matter what. Whether you're navigating relationships, identity, or stress that never fully turns off, you don't have to figure it out alone.

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Houston

Finding addiction therapists in Houston starts with matching your needs to the right kind of care. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, drug use, substance use disorder, behavioral addictions, cravings, and relapse prevention. Some therapists use approaches like motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, and harm reduction-informed care. Some people also work with a prescriber as part of their care team, so it can help to look for therapists who note coordination with medication management or other healthcare professionals in their bios.

Houston has a large mental health care market, which gives you many choices across neighborhoods, schedules, and care formats. That range can make it harder to narrow your search. Consider whether you want in-person sessions near your home, work, or school, or virtual appointments that fit more easily around your week. Recovery is often not linear, so it can be useful to look for a therapist who describes a clear, nonjudgmental approach and experience with counseling and recovery services. Reading therapist profiles can help you compare specialties, therapy style, availability, and whether a free phone consultation is offered before booking.

Addiction counseling in Houston can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, verify your insurance, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. From there, you can compare Houston therapists, choose the format that fits your schedule, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
