Hi, I’m Nargis Ali, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Texas with over six years of experience in the counseling field. I hold a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and am currently pursuing my PhD in Counseling and Supervision.
I believe that healing begins when we feel truly seen, heard, and supported. In my work, I strive to create a warm and nurturing space where you can show up exactly as you are — no judgment, just understanding. Together, we’ll explore your experiences, uncover patterns, and move toward emotional healing and personal growth at a pace that feels right for you.
Why fit in when you were born to stand out -Dr. Seuss. Often times when dealing with strong and intense emotions we have trouble communicating with the people in our lives. Together we can work through emotions that are making it hard to move forward in your life. Change is hard and together we can make make it through life's transitions whether you are dealing with the past, or gearing up for the future.
My specialties include stress, anxiety, depression, boundaries, healthy communication, and relationships. My goal is to create a safe space for you to process emotions, and take your next step in life. In a nonjudgmental space and a little humor at times we can explore emotions, and help you achieve the life you want to live.
I will work to create a safe space so that you feel confident to open up. Together we can determine your goals for counseling, and begin the process of working to reach them. If you're ready to take the next step on your journey, please contact me.

Helping you stop taking rejection personally and feel more secure in who you are. Uncover the wound, recover yourself.
You didn’t just feel rejected, you started questioning yourself. Over time, that can show up as overthinking, avoiding what feels overwhelming, or struggling to feel confident in who you are and how you show up in your relationships and everyday life. It's time to reclaim your voice and identity after experiencing rejection or unhealthy relationship dynamics.
I earned my Master's in Counseling and have 4 years of experience supporting teenagers, men, and women navigating challenges like rejection, avoidance, trauma, and identity struggles (not to be confused with gender identity). We’ll explore the patterns behind your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors so you can better understand why you respond the way you do and begin to respond differently.
Clients often tell me they appreciate how I balance compassion with practical strategies. Together, we’ll focus on bridging the gap between where you are now and where you want to be, whether that’s feeling more confident socially, healing from old wounds, or reconnecting with your authentic identity.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Texas
Finding the right therapist in Texas starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Consider the concerns you want to address — whether that's anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, or something else — and look for a licensed provider with experience in that area. Texas-licensed therapists include Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs), Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs), Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs), and psychologists, each with different training backgrounds. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match.
With Texas being the second-largest state in the country, access to in-person care varies widely depending on where you live. Virtual therapy makes it possible to connect with a licensed provider from anywhere in the state, whether you're in a major metro area or a smaller community. Many providers on Headway offer both virtual and in-person sessions, so you can choose what works best for your schedule and preferences.
Therapy in Texas can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay out of pocket. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per session. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist who fits your needs and your budget.
