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.

The length of therapy depends on your goals and the issues you're working through. It can range from a few sessions for short-term concerns to several months or even longer for deeper, ongoing work. Your therapist will help guide this process based on your progress and needs. Rest assured your therapist will have ongoing conversations with you about your progress and when you are ready to move on.

One of the most important aspects of therapy is the relationship you have with your therapist. Trust and safety are the foundations of that relationship.

Confidentiality in therapy is essential, but there are exceptions. A therapist is required to break confidentiality if there is a risk of harm to yourself or others, such as in cases of suicidal intent, child or elder abuse, or in the rare instance of a court order to release the records. Additionally, if you provide written consent for the therapist to share information with another professional, confidentiality may be waived. These limits ensure safety and legal compliance while maintaining trust in the therapeutic relationship.

Your therapist will discuss this in further detail during your first session.

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.
