  • An LCSW in Texas stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a mental health professional who is licensed to provide psychotherapy and other social work services. LCSWs are trained to assess, diagnose, and treat mental, emotional, and behavioral issues in individuals, families, and groups.

    LCSWs are deeply committed to empowering clients to overcome challenges, build resilience, and lead fulfilling lives. Their role goes beyond therapy, as they often serve as advocates, educators, and connectors within the community.

    LCSWs are unique among mental health professionals because of their holistic and client-centered approach, which integrates therapy with an emphasis on social and environmental factors. This unique combination of clinical expertise, advocacy, and systems-level thinking makes LCSWs a critical asset in addressing both individual and societal mental health challenges.

  • I am not a medical doctor and am not licensed to prescribe medication.

    If you are interested in considering medication, you can contact your primary care physician or I’m happy to provide you with some local recommendations.

  • Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all—it really depends on what you’re working through and what you want to get out of it. Some people only need a few sessions to tackle a specific issue, while others might stick with it for months or longer if they’re diving into deeper stuff. Your therapist will be there to help you figure out what makes sense for you, checking in along the way to make sure you’re getting what you need. And when the time comes to wrap things up, you’ll talk it through together so you feel ready.

  • One of the most important parts of therapy is the connection you have with your therapist—it’s all about trust and feeling safe.

    Everything you share is confidential, but there are a few exceptions. If there’s a risk of serious harm—like if you’re in danger of hurting yourself or someone else, or there’s abuse involving a child or elder—your therapist is legally required to step in. Also, in rare cases, a court might order records to be released. And if you ever want your therapist to share info with another professional, you’d need to give written permission. These rules are there to keep everyone safe while still protecting your privacy.

    Your therapist will go over all of this in your first session so you know exactly what to expect.

  • You will be responsible for a $100 fee if you cancel less than 24 hours before your appointment.

    You will be responsible for the full cash pay fee if you No-Show to your appointment.

    Insurance does NOT cover Late Cancellation/No-Show fees so you will be responsible for the full amount. You must have a valid credit/debit card on file.

  • Currently we only offer virtual appointments through a secured telehealth platform. In-Person appointments are something we hope to offer in the near future.

  • We are unable to provide on-call or emergency care. If you are in immediate danger please call 911 or go to the closest emergency room.
