Therapist

Every person has a story. The culmination of experiences in one's life shapes how they view themselves, their relationships, and the world. I have a passion for helping clients celebrate their unique strengths and gifts they share with others. With experiences in both private practice and hospitals, I have noticed a particular need for clients to separate their view of themselves from their current difficulties and circumstances. In spite of where clients may find themselves at the moment, my belief is that they have overcome every difficulty, challenge, and trauma that they have faced up to the present moment. As such, they will withstand their current circumstances, and will again declare victory.

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 a Therapist in Laredo

Finding the right addiction therapist in Laredo starts with understanding the type of care that fits your situation. Licensed professional counselors (LPCs) and licensed chemical dependency counselors (LCDCs) both work with people navigating substance use and behavioral addictions, though their training differs. Some providers hold both licenses, which can be helpful if you're managing a substance use disorder alongside anxiety, depression, or another mental health condition. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their background and approach before you commit.

Laredo's location along the South Texas border means the community faces distinct challenges related to substance use, and finding a provider who understands the local context matters. Many therapists in the area offer bilingual sessions in English and Spanish. Whether you prefer to meet in person in the Laredo area or connect virtually, look for a provider whose availability, specialties, and communication style match what you need.

Addiction counseling in Laredo can be expensive without insurance, but using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an addiction therapist who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
