Therapists for college students near 77005

Finding the right therapist is a lot like finding the right pair of shoes—it should feel like the right fit. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can navigate life's challenges, build resilience, and rediscover a sense of peace and balance. I believe therapy should be as unique as the individual seeking it. Together, we will create treatment goals and sessions tailored to your specific needs, strengths, and experiences. I am passionate about helping clients develop practical tools and feel empowered to take an active role in their healing and personal growth.

Welcome — I’m glad you’re here. College can be an exciting time, but it’s also a time when a lot of things can feel overwhelming. Maybe you're struggling with anxiety or depression, feeling stuck in unhealthy habits, or just unsure of who you are and where you're going. You're not alone—and you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself. I work with college students who are navigating the stress of classes, relationships, family pressure, identity exploration, and the weight of expectations. Many of my clients feel like they're just trying to survive each day, even though they want more than that—they want to thrive. Together, we work toward understanding what’s behind those struggles, building confidence, and developing the skills and insight needed to make meaningful change. In our sessions, I’ll meet you where you are. We’ll talk about what matters to you—your values, your experiences, your hopes for the future. We’ll also explore how past experiences might be showing up in your current challenges, and we’ll use that understanding to move toward growth and self-compassion. I believe therapy should feel safe, affirming, and real. I take a holistic, nonjudgmental approach that’s grounded in curiosity and respect for your unique journey. I’m queer-allied, sex-positive, and deeply committed to helping each person feel seen and supported. If you’re ready to talk, I’m ready to listen. Let’s figure it out together.

I was drawn to becoming a therapist because of my own struggles and remain passionate about the work because of the growth I have the honor of co-creating and witnessing in others as a wounded healer. I work with clients navigating trauma, BPD, anxiety/phobias, OCD, and LGBTQ issues. My approach is compassionate and empowering, giving you the skills you need to create safety in your body, treat yourself with compassion, heal the roots of your pain, and move towards a vital, fulfilling life, taking committed action toward whatever is most important to you. I am trained in ACT, ERP, trauma therapy, and yoga therapy. I also have a decade of experience in DBT. In the intake process, I will ask questions about your history, challenges, strengths, and goals. I will also complete a few assessments based on your presenting issues to get a baseline for your symptoms, so that we can regularly track your progress. I understand the courage it takes to ask for help when life gets hard. My commitment is to provide a safe, accepting space for you to show up authentically & to help you actively apply what you gain from sessions into the rest of your life. I can't promise this will be easy, but it will be so worth it.

We emphasize a caring, collaborative, and holistic approach that will help encourage and guide our clients in their journey through life. The foundation of our practice is built on providing accessible mental health therapy, especially to those in the LGBTQIA+ community, allies, and others on the margins of society who desire to be seen, understood and valued. It is our belief that every person has unique value and deserves to be treated with unconditional kindness, dignity, respect, and acceptance. You are welcome here!

College can be exciting, but it can also be a lot harder than people expect. You may be dealing with stress, anxiety, loneliness, relationship problems, family concerns, academic pressure, uncertainty about your future, or simply feeling overwhelmed and not quite like yourself. You don't have to wait until things become a crisis to talk with someone. Sometimes nothing is terribly wrong. You may just need someone to talk to who isn't a friend, parent, professor, or roommate—someone you can be completely honest with without worrying about being judged. I offer a warm, comfortable, and judgment-free space where you can talk openly about what's going on in your life. You don't need to know exactly what to say or even be sure that you "need counseling." We can start with what's bothering you and figure things out together. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 20 years of experience, I understand that college is about much more than earning a degree. It's also a time of tremendous personal growth, change, and important life decisions. Sometimes having an experienced professional to talk with can make those changes feel a little less overwhelming and a lot more manageable. My approach is easy-going, practical, and down-to-earth. Counseling with me isn't about judging you or telling you how to live your life. We'll build on your strengths, work through what's getting in your way, and find realistic ways to help you feel more confident, hopeful, and in control of where you're headed. I also know that finding a therapist who has availability and fits your budget can be frustrating. I offer convenient telehealth appointments including daytime, evening, and Saturday availability. I accept students with insurance as well as private-pay students, with a special discounted rate available for college students who choose to pay privately. I also offer Therapeutic Chat Sessions and Mentoring for those one-time or "need some guidance" times in your life. Whether you're working through a difficult time, facing a life change, or simply need a safe person to talk things through with, you're welcome here. You don't have to have everything figured out before reaching out. Come as you are. We can start there.

De Colores Counseling serves clients from any background including multicultural individuals navigating trauma, relationships, work or personal stress, fertility, and men's or women's issues, among others. Many reach out during a difficult season, a relationship shift, a loss, a fertility journey, or simply feeling stuck and looking for a therapist who genuinely understands and respects where they come from. Our team offers trauma-informed, affirming care and works alongside each client toward steady, practical progress, one honest session at a time.

That feeling when ... you can't describe the feeling. Overwhelmed, or maybe anxious. Frustrated. Alone. Misunderstood. Stuck. Unable to see your way forward. I've been there, and I've spent years developing tools to share with you and help guide you on another path. Whether you need help navigating a new phase in your life, need new tools for facing sudden or unexpected changes, or are looking for fresh perspectives, I can help you find your brave and move forward with intention and joy. I have a Master's degree in Community Counseling and have been a counselor for 13 years. What will counseling with me look like? Expect me to be honest, friendly, and direct, and to be willing to laugh and cry with you. You will be in a safe environment where you can explore your feelings and your relationships without judgment. Some days you may need a good listener and some days you might want some new perspective, and I am here to provide both. However, as we get to know each other, I will challenge you to set and make progress towards your goals. Although I use a variety of theories to guide me in my work, you will most likely learn a lot of cognitive behavioral techniques working with me. We will move at your pace, but we will examine what you think, and why you think it, to help you understand your feelings. Understanding your feelings, and how they connect to your thoughts and actions, will be your first step in setting goals towards making the changes you want to see in your life.

We all carry pieces of our past into the present, our experiences, relationships, losses, strengths, culture, and the ways we learned to cope along the way. I believe we are the sum of those parts, and counseling gives us a place to understand how they shaped who we are today and decide what we want to carry forward. I'm Arcelia Emerson LPC-Associate Supervised by April West LPC-S. My path to becoming a counselor is personal. I’ve been a client myself, and my experience with EMDR showed me how powerful counseling can be. It also taught me what it feels like to sit on the other side of the room, share your story, and do the hard work of healing. That experience continues to shape how I work with my clients, with compassion, curiosity, and authenticity. I see counseling as a partnership. You are the expert on your life, and we work together to understand patterns, build on your strengths, and find tools that make sense for you. My approach is trauma-informed and individualized because I don’t believe counseling should be one-size-fits-all. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, along with mindfulness, breathwork, grounding, yoga, Sandtray, and creative approaches. Together, we look at both the mind and body and find what works best for you. I work with all ages experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, relationship concerns, life changes, or simply feeling stuck. Your culture, family, identity, values, and experiences are all part of your story and are welcome in the counseling room. My practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming. You don’t have to know exactly what you need before you begin. We can figure that out together.

I’m Lizzie Holley, a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) based in Collin County. I help adults (18+) who are seeking support, healing, and greater self-understanding. I specialize in working with individuals navigating anxiety, life and faith transitions, grief, religious and spiritual trauma, chronic illness, medical trauma, identity exploration, and relationship challenges. I’m LGBTQ+ affirming and committed to creating a space where clients feel safe showing up fully as themselves. I also bring lived experience navigating disability and chronic medical challenges, which informs my work with clients coping with chronic illness, medical trauma, and adapting to bodies or lives that haven’t unfolded as expected. My approach to therapy is warm, honest, relational, direct, and grounded in curiosity. I believe healing happens in spaces where people feel seen rather than judged. Therapy with me is collaborative. We’ll work together to better understand your patterns, emotions, relationships, and story while building practical tools for growth and resilience. I draw from approaches including CBT, ACT, narrative, and somatic therapy, while always tailoring the process to the individual sitting in front of me.

Ever feel like you're always just "catching up" or you're on the "outside" looking in? As an Autistic professional, I love assisting other neurodivergent individuals in navigating a neurotypical world. I offer a judgement-free, solution-oriented space where authenticity is the only agenda and an "eyes wide open" approach that uses precision and depth to uncover what’s hidden. I serve adult clients who may be experiencing identity and worldview transitions, shame and perfectionism, anxiety, as well as grief and depression. My specialty is helping clients succeed in their search for self-trust and direction. Life is a story full of unexpected twists and chapter breaks. It can be easy to lose the plot along the way. I primarily utilize Existential Psychotherapy with aspects of SFBT, emphasizing elements such as meaning-making, authenticity, and personal agency. This makes my approach highly adaptive to your specific journey. I graduated from Texas Woman's University with my master's degree in Counseling and Development and am licensed in the state of Texas as a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate under the supervision of Billie Baker, LPC-S, and Dr. James Parker, LP. I offer in-person and teletherapy sessions with Dallas Therapy Associates.

Do you often find yourself getting angrier than you think you should? Do you frequently feel sadness, stress, or worry you can’t explain? Have you found yourself feeling like more of a roommate instead of a couple with your spouse? Is poor communication having a negative impact on your relationships?

Using Gottman Method Couples Therapy I can help you get your relationship back on track.

It is my desire to assist you in what could be a life changing experience. Call me to schedule an appointment and together we can work together to help you be the happy person you are meant to be.

I love to make a meaningful impact on someone’s life. I make my clients feel understood by being present, using reflective listening, validating their feelings and summarization. I present myself in session with genuine interest, engage client in shared decision making, and collaborate to develop treatment goals.

You don’t have to be in crisis to start therapy. If you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected in your relationship, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, support can make a meaningful difference. I primarily work with adults and couples navigating anxiety, depression, stress, communication challenges, boundary setting, self-worth concerns, and relationship or family conflict. Many clients come to me wanting to improve communication, rebuild trust, break generational cycles, or feel more secure within themselves and their relationships. Together, we focus on strengthening emotional regulation, deepening self-awareness, and creating healthier, more connected partnerships. I provide a culturally responsive and affirming space, especially for individuals within BIPOC and Latinx communities balancing personal growth with cultural and family expectations. Therapy is collaborative, tailored to your needs, and grounded in compassion and evidence-based practices.

People come to me when they are looking for ways out of being trapped, depressed, anxious or stuck. I work with individuals who don't know how to be their true selves - it is my mission them find ways to live an authentic and empowered life. I am able to hold a lot of complexity and nuance for a variety of human needs and experiences. Especially close to my heart is working with the LGBTQ+ population, or anyone who feels they don't fit into what society, parents, friends, or others expect of them. I also enjoy existential deep dives and those who feel overwhelmed by their emotional landscape. You are the expert on yourself - my role is to help you uncover who that self truly is, and help you to respond to that self with courage, connection and authenticity.
