Top therapists in Texas accepting new patients
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC) with experience working with adolescents, adults, and families. I earned my education and professional training in counseling and have continued to expand my knowledge through specialized training in substance use, trauma, behavioral concerns, and adolescent development. I am also currently pursuing specialized training in the treatment of individuals with sexual behavior concerns.
Much of my professional experience has involved working with adolescents, including youth involved in the juvenile justice system. I have experience addressing substance use, anger and emotional regulation, family and relationship concerns, communication difficulties, self-esteem, behavioral challenges, decision-making, and life transitions. I also enjoy helping clients identify their strengths, understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and develop practical skills they can use outside of counseling.
As a counselor, I believe that people are more than a diagnosis, a mistake, or a difficult season in their lives. My approach is supportive, straightforward, and focused on creating a space where clients can be themselves without feeling judged. I value building genuine relationships with my clients and believe counseling works best when we can work together toward goals that are meaningful and realistic for you.
My therapeutic style is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I am highly trained, deeply dedicated to my clients, and committed to providing effective care that creates real, lasting change. I believe therapy should feel both supportive and practical, offering not only understanding but also tools that you can use in your everyday life.
Hi Everyone, I'm Lorena, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner based in Texas, and I provide medication management and supportive psychiatric care for adults. I was raised in a Mexican American household, and I value culturally sensitive care that respects family dynamics, identity, and lived experience. I work with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, postpartum depression or anxiety, schizophrenia, and life stressors such as grief and family conflict. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and not judged.
Are relationships—whether with family, friends, or yourself—leaving you feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or disconnected? For more than 13 years, I've worked alongside teens and families in school settings, including 6 years as a mental health counselor and accommodations specialist. I understand the challenges young people face, from anxiety, depression, and ADHD to social pressures, identity development, family conflict, and academic stress. I also work with college students and adults navigating relationships, life transitions, burnout, grief, and anxiety. Therapy can help you feel grounded, understood, and more connected.
I believe therapy should feel like a safe place to be yourself, without judgment or pressure. My goal is to meet you where you are, listen with compassion, and help you feel more understood, confident, and supported along the way.

John Gillespie is a dedicated Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) providing individual and group counseling in Houston, TX. He earned his Master’s degree from the Warden School of Social Work at Our Lady of the Lake University in San Antonio, and though he trained across Texas, he proudly calls Houston home.
I am 55 years old with 26 years of professional experience. My approach can be very genuine, direct, and honest and while I may not always tell you "what you want to hear," I will provide feedback based on what is best to hear to help improve your insight into your problems. My therapy style may not be for everyone. If you are ready to make changes and are seeking honesty, logic, and a solution focused approach then I may be a good fit for you.
My focus has been on helping people cope with trauma, physical, sexual or emotional. I graduated from Texas Tech in 2015 with my master's in Community Mental Health Counseling.
I've worked with families and individuals in various outpatient mental health treatment settings.
I am able to provide counseling services in English and Korean.
