There are moments where each of us experience difficult and stressful points in our lives. Whether it's a painful divorce, the loss of a loved one, the loss of a job, going through stress in a relationship, unresolved self-esteem issues, questions about gender or sexuality, dealing with a troubled child, family stress, or facing pain from childhood and/or adult trauma. Life can be hard at times; there is no doubt about that. I have come to view those challenging times that we all experience, albeit in different ways, as opportunities for us to make positive changes and adjustments - what I like to call "reset moments."
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I rely on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help move my clients to lasting change. I have experience working in schools, hospitals, and in my own private practice. Through individual counseling, we move from places of stagnation and fear into the amazing future that each of us deserves and I believe we can have.
I am always amazed at the strength and courage of my clients. It's never easy to take that first step, to commit to the process of change, to put in the effort to do the hard work, and to hope for more. We must always remember that each of us has the power to be who we are intended to be and to create the lives we want. I look forward to working with you...
Hello and thanks for checking out my profile! My name is Mariam, and I'm excited to get to know you. I received my BA in Psychology from St. Edward's in Austin, TX and my MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling form UTSA in San Antonio and graduated in 2022. I have been working as a counselor since early 2023, but I also have experience in diagnostic testing for individuals with Alzheimer's/Dementia, and while I was in school I worked at a residential treatment facility for people with OCD and severe social anxiety.
My clinical style is warm, structured, and collaborative. I emphasize clear communication and shared decision-making with my patients. I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental environment where people feel heard and respected.
I have an AGACNP background, which supports my ability to assess medical comorbidity and understand complex medical/psychiatric overlap. I am also DOT-certified, which reflects my knowledge of safety-sensitive considerations and careful medication risk assessment.

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding the right OCD therapist in Lubbock starts with understanding what kind of care you need. Treatment approaches for obsessive-compulsive disorder may include several types of therapy, and a licensed provider can help determine what may be appropriate for your needs. Some providers also use acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). If medication management is part of your care plan, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner can help. Look for a licensed provider — such as an LPC, LCSW, psychologist, or psychiatrist — with specific experience treating OCD.
Lubbock is home to a range of mental health providers, and virtual sessions can expand your options to include specialists across Texas. When comparing providers, reading their bio can help you understand their approach and whether they have experience with OCD specifically. Many providers on Headway offer a free phone consultation so you can see if they're a good fit before booking a full session.
Therapy in Lubbock can be more affordable when you use in-network insurance benefits. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and your out-of-pocket expense may be as low as $0 per session — though costs vary based on your location and specific coverage.
