I am Mary Nganga, a PMHNP-BC in state of Texas. I have more than 12 years of experience in mental health. I graduated with Bachelor in Nursing from University of Texas Arlington, and Masters in Nursing from Texas States University, San Marcos. My free time, I enjoy spending time my family, pet (Ruffy), and gardening.
"As a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), I specialize in treating both porn/sexual addiction and the resulting Partner Betrayal Trauma. My work delves into the unconscious, deep-rooted patterns and past experiences that fuel compulsive behaviors.
Utilizing a psychodynamic approach, I help clients gain the insight necessary for lasting change, full life restoration, and healing the core issues."
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.
Welcome! As an LPC, my goal is to provide compassionate, client-centered counseling to support individuals through life transitions, emotional struggles, and personal challenges. Together, we will work to identify goals, develop healthy coping strategies, and create meaningful, lasting change.
I have over 24 years of experience working with all different age groups and diagnoses. I have extensive experience working with complex trauma to include military, veteran and first responder related experiences. I have years of experience working with PTSD, moral injury and survivor's guilt.


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.
