Hi, there! My name is Dr. Justin Lockhart, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision.
I believe deeply in people’s capacity to grow and change, even when life feels overwhelming. If you’re struggling to manage big feelings, having trouble connecting with the people around you, or just feel like anxiety has you trapped on the business end of a bulldozer, I’m here to help you figure it out.
I work with teens and adults who want to build the tools to overcome anxiety, depression, trauma, mood swings, and relationship problems. Our thoughts, feelings, and experiences are important passengers, but they don’t have to drive the car. Instead, we can learn to find purpose, belonging, and peace even in the toughest of times.
My individual work helps you build on your strengths while you gain a healthier perspective on what you may currently perceive as weaknesses. I want to help you understand and appreciate the unique combination of gifts you have to draw on. My goal is to help you find more meaningful and fulfilling ways to negotiate your life's path. I work with non-traditional individuals using traditional insight-oriented methods. Many of my clients are individuals in non-traditional jobs and/or relationships who want to look deeply into their own experiences.
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.
My goal as a Psychologist and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist is to create a safe, affirming and collaborative space for individuals to explore the complexities of life. Therapy can be a daunting experience; therefore, I like to meet people where they are at in their therapy journey.
I am CBT based with Solution Focused and Gestalt main ones I use.
I am Angelina Ortiz, a licensed professional counselor (LPC) specializing in psychotherapy. I support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, self-injurious behaviors, trauma, and relationship issues. I offer both in-person sessions and virtual therapy for clients throughout Texas. My passion to help other on their healing path to live calm and fulfilling lives has always been my life's purpose as I believe people are deserving of peace and happiness in their lives, no matter their story.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Pasadena
Finding an LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Pasadena, TX starts with knowing what to look for. An affirming provider does more than accept your identity — they understand the specific stressors that LGBTQIA+ individuals may face, including experiences related to coming out, discrimination, family dynamics, and identity exploration. Look for a licensed provider (such as an LPC, LCSW, psychologist, or psychiatrist) who lists LGBTQIA+ care as a specialty and describes their affirming approach in their bio.
Pasadena sits within the greater Houston metro area, which means you may have access to providers both locally and across Harris County through virtual appointments. When comparing providers, consider what matters most to you — whether that's a specific therapeutic approach, shared lived experience, or availability that fits your schedule. Reading a provider's full bio can help you understand their style and decide if they're a good match before booking.
Therapy in the Houston area can be expensive without insurance, but affordable options exist when you use in-network coverage. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before your first appointment, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an affirming provider who fits both your needs and your budget.
