Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Waco, TX covered by Cigna

I am warm, open, an active listener and I like to challenge those I work with. I create a space where you can openly express yourself so I can learn your thinking patterns and be able to bring light to things that you may not have been able to see on your own. I received my Bachelors in psychology from Prairie View A&M university and my Counseling degree from Lamar University. I am a proud Houston native, mother, and woman of God.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Colorado and Texas, and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington, with years of experience supporting individuals through life's challenges. I'm based in Fort Collins, CO and work with clients virtually — so you can connect with me from wherever you feel most at ease. I accept several major insurance plans and am currently welcoming new clients.

Nice to meet you! I'm Raymond, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health NP. I've worked in healthcare for over a decade, and have experience treating a wide range of conditions including but not limited to Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, OCD, Sleep Disorder, Mood Disorders, Grief, Bipolar Disorder, ADHD and more. My goal is to empower you toward meaningful, lasting mental wellness.

"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others".

Hello, and welcome. As a National Board Certified Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I am passionate about creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel comfortable exploring their thoughts, emotions, and life experiences. I believe counseling is a collaborative process built on trust, empathy, and genuine connection, and I strive to help each client feel heard, valued, and empowered throughout their journey.

I have experience supporting individuals facing anxiety, stress, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, relationship challenges, and emotional difficulties while helping clients build resilience, improve emotional wellness, and gain deeper self-understanding.

As a certified school counselor, teacher and a licensed professional counselor, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in one’s life. I’ve been working with children and adults for 20 years, advocating and improving the mental health of children and adults. In the last five years I have shifted my focus to clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression and families who are in crisis.

Therapy is a journey that is not always the easiest to embark upon and just showing up is half the battle. As a therapist it’s my job to gently guide you through this process. Developing a therapeutic relationship is the cornerstone of therapy. In the first few appointments, I will get to know you and the issues that you are facing. From there we will work together on your goals. I am laid back, and utilize a variety of treatment approaches depending on your needs. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in the State of Texas. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Baylor University and my Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University. I have experience treating adults, young adults, adolescents, and families in various settings. I have worked in hospitals and the criminal justice system. I utilize psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral approaches in working with my clients. I am EMDR trained and enjoy working with trauma and anxiety. I enjoy coffee, college sports, my dogs, travel, and collecting mechanical watches.

My goal is to create a safe space where the superman cape, the mask, the facade that you've had to show the world can come down. That cape is really heavy.

I want to extend a special invitation to those in the helping professions: this is a safe place to discuss those crazy stories, and know you'll never feel judged or looked down on. As a former social worker, I can tell you I've seen my own share of the best and worst humanity has to offer. My dark sense of humor is a load-bearing structure.

I’m a bilingual, multicultural Licensed Professional Counselor who supports adolescents, teens, parents, adults, couples, and families in both English and Spanish. If you or your child is struggling, or if your family is feeling the stress of anxiety, behavior concerns, school challenges, grief, life changes, or family conflict, I’m here to help.

I also support clients who are dealing with the effects of abuse, including painful memories, anxiety, and past experiences that still feel present today.

I’m a Doctor of Nursing Practice–trained Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a career shaped by service, compassion, and a genuine love for helping people feel seen, supported, and capable of healing. Before becoming a PMHNP, I spent many years as a CNA and later earned my BSN from the University of the Incarnate Word in 2015 in San Antonio, TX. I worked bedside at University Hospital, transitioned to hospice in 2016, and later served in case management at UTHSCSA. In 2023, I began my DNP–PMHNP program, completing it while working full time at Clarity Child Guidance Center. On December 13th, 2025, I was officially granted the title of “Dr.”, became board certified as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner on February 9th, 2026, and finally obtained my APRN with the Texas Board of Nursing on March 12th, 2026!

My doctoral project focused on reducing seclusion rates for children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder using evidence‐based, trauma‐informed interventions—an area close to my heart as a parent of a special‐needs child. I’m passionate about geriatric psychiatry and child & adolescent psychiatry, and I bring a calm, grounded, and collaborative style to treatment.

I also briefly served in the United States Air Force, an experience that strengthened my commitment to resilience, service, and advocacy. Today, I continue to advocate for women affected by domestic violence, helping them reclaim safety, confidence, and possibility.

On a personal note, I’m a mom of two boys, happily married for 11 years, and the proud owner of four dogs. Outside of work, you’ll usually find me drinking coffee, shopping for plants, collecting perfumes, baking, cooking, or spending time with family and friends. These parts of my life help me stay balanced, grounded, and connected—values I bring into every therapeutic relationship.
