Therapist

My focus

I specialize in working with adults facing depression, anxiety, grief, PTSD, occupational stress, relationship conflicts, cultural and identity issues, and survivors of abuse. I help clients build understanding and chart a path forward using evidence-based approaches.

My communication style

My style is nurturing, accepting, empathic, and personable. I use unconditional positive regard to help you feel safe without judgment. I validate how you feel and normalize your situation so you can feel comfortable and at ease in our work together.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I have always accepted others, regardless of their background or circumstances. I believe in advocating for those who may not otherwise have a voice.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Waco

Finding the right therapist in Waco starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Consider whether you want help with a specific concern like anxiety, depression, or relationship issues, or whether you're looking for general mental health care. Licensed providers in Texas include LPCs, LCSWs, LMFTs, and psychologists, and each brings a different training background. If you're interested in medication management, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner may be the right fit.

Waco has a range of mental health providers, but availability and insurance acceptance can vary. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their approach, specialties, and whether they're likely to be a good match. Some providers also offer a free phone consultation, which gives you a chance to ask questions before committing to a session.

Therapy in Waco can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance information 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 a provider who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
