Find a therapist in Texas — covered by insurance

Hello and congratulations for taking the first and sometimes hardest step of looking for a therapist. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the states of IN, KY LA, MO, NV, TX, WA and WV. I have the great privilege of working with adolescents and adults seeking assistance in improving their overall mental health and associated challenges. I’ve been in the behavioral health arena for over 40 years and have held numerous direct care and clinical leadership roles in a variety of settings. My joy comes from helping people navigate life's challenges.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck, you’ve come to the right place. I specialize in helping people just like you find their path to self-empowerment and well-being. I understand how these feelings can make everyday tasks feel impossible. Many of my clients come to me feeling lost or unsure of how to move forward. Whether you're dealing with stress from school, work, or personal relationships, know that you are not alone. I’m here to help you navigate through these challenges.

Therapy that feels like a long awaited, needed exhale. That right there, that’s my main goal for all my clients. Hi! I’m Michaela and I help people who are tired of holding it all together. Whether you’re burned out, grieving, navigating complex relationships, or simply feeling lost in your own life. You don’t have to figure it out alone.

Our work together will be a mix of grounded tools, honest conversation, and a space where your story is safe to land. This isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about untangling what’s been weighing on you and building a life that feels like yours again.

You don’t have to keep carrying this alone — healing is possible, and it starts here.

Maybe you’ve been feeling anxious for so long that it has started to feel like just who you are.

Maybe depression has made even the smallest tasks feel impossible. Maybe life has changed in ways you didn’t expect — a new country, a new chapter, a loss — and you’re not sure how to find your footing again.

Whatever brought you here, I want you to know: you are not broken. You are human. And you deserve support that truly sees you.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) offering therapy in both English and Spanish,

and I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, life transitions, acculturation, and the unique pain that comes from experiencing discrimination. My

approach is warm, collaborative, and deeply respectful of who you are and where you come from.

I believe therapy should feel like a safe conversation — not a lecture, not a checklist. From our very first session, my goal is for you to feel understood, not judged. Hopeful, not

overwhelmed.

If you are struggling with anxiety or dealing with a major change in your life, I can help. You have choices when it comes to your career, relationships, and family. I will speak with you openly about your feelings and help you to gain new perspectives and solutions. I work closely with men and women facing many situations, including how to deal with a complicated relationship, family and work problems, or the loss of loved ones. My approach to healing combines traditional therapies with holistic approaches, while drawing on the individual’s spiritual practices and developing new coping strategies Now accepting new clients in New York and Texas!

With a strong educational background in social and behavioral sciences, an advanced degree in social work, and over seven years of dedicated experience, I specialize in helping people navigate the complexities of mental health.

Clients often describe me as compassionate, empathetic, and a genuinely active listener. I bring authenticity and warmth into the therapy room—along with a healthy sprinkle of humor.

I have a master's degree in mental health counseling and have been working with the court systems for the last 9 years leading groups as well as individual/couple sessions.

I’m a licensed clinical social worker based in Texas who cares deeply about the healing work of therapy. Life’s hardships and past hurts can take a real toll, and I’m here to support you as you begin moving toward healing and wholeness.

"I believe that therapy should be as unique as the person sitting across from me. With nine years of clinical experience, I’ve learned that a 'one-size-fits-all' approach rarely works. That’s why I integrate evidence-based tools like CBT, EMDR, and REBT with a holistic, solution-focused framework to create a proactive plan tailored specifically to you.

My career has been defined by serving those in their most vulnerable moments—from life transitions and developmental stages to veterans and families navigating the complexities of service to individuals fighting addiction and codependency. Whether we are utilizing 12-Step principles or processing trauma through EMDR, my goal is to provide a constructive, non-judgmental space where you can find a concrete path forward. I hold an MS in Counseling Mental Health and am dually licensed as a Professional Counselor (LPC) and Addiction Counselor (LCDC) to ensure you receive the most comprehensive support possible."
