Find a therapist in Texas — covered by insurance

Service has been a constant in my life. I have served in the United States Marine Corps, worked in law enforcement, taught in the classroom, and now serve as a Licensed Professional Counselor. Each chapter shaped how I understand stress, trauma, responsibility, and personal transformation.

My work is grounded in both lived experience and clinical training. I know what it means to operate under pressure. I understand how trauma embeds itself in the body and how identity can fracture under prolonged stress. I also know that change is possible when insight is paired with disciplined, intentional work.

Clients often describe me as direct, steady, and grounded. I don’t believe in surface-level coping alone. I believe in helping you understand your patterns, regulate your nervous system, and build internal strength that carries beyond the therapy room.

Whether you are navigating PTSD, anxiety, depression, or a major life transition, our work together is focused on clarity, resilience, and sustainable change.

I am a clinical psychologist with specialized training in trauma and relational modalities. We may be a good fit if you: • Value insight and depth. • Are curious about yourself and want to understand the "why". • Intuitively know that lasting change requires real work—and are ready for it.

I have a Ph.D in Counseling. I've been a therapist since 1984 and I listen very well. I help clients with anxiety, depression and relationship issues and more.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor (LPC-S) in Texas and a Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor (RPT-S).

I believe healing starts with connection- to self, others, and inner peace. I provide compassionate, trauma-informed counseling for individuals of all ages, offering a safe space for growth, reflection, and transformation. My goal is to support your emotional wellness and self-discovery with empathy and respect.

I offer a warm, culturally responsive environment where clients feel safe, seen, and supported. I specialize in trauma recovery and work extensively with individuals navigating anxiety, grief, and relational challenges.

As a bilingual counselor (English and Korean), I welcome clients from diverse cultural backgrounds. As a Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor (RPT-S), I integrate developmentally appropriate, trauma-informed care into my work with children and families.

Are you tired of overthinking everything—relationships, work, family, finances, and what’s coming next in life?

Do you find yourself always thinking ahead, planning details, and trying to stay on top of everything... to the point that it feels exhausting?

Maybe your mind rarely slows down. You replay conversations, overanalyze decisions, and put pressure on yourself to do things the “right” way.

You may find yourself feeling anxious about the future or wondering whether you’re somehow falling behind.

Internally, it can feel exhausting to always be this “on.”

If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Many highly capable women feel overwhelmed by the pressure to keep it all together while quietly struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, and emotional exhaustion. And often, it’s not simply a time management issue—it’s the mental and emotional load of carrying too much for too long.

As a fully licensed professional counselor in Texas, I have had the opportunity to work with many populations. Victims of domestic and sexual violence, those struggling with substance abuse, and those managing ongoing anxiety and depression are those with whom I have spent the most time. I prefer to demystify the counseling process and allow clients to be who they are during sessions. I don't want to put you in a box; I want you to feel validated and connected to the world you're in. I can see individuals, adolescents (15+), couples, and families.

My approach is holistic and culturally attuned, blending evidence -based therapy with deep empathy and understanding of each partners lived experience. Together, we will work towards healing with real coping tools that you can use.

I am Mary Nganga, a PMHNP-BC in state of Texas. I have more than 12 years of experience in mental health. I graduated with Bachelor in Nursing from University of Texas Arlington, and Masters in Nursing from Texas States University, San Marcos. My free time, I enjoy spending time my family, pet (Ruffy), and gardening.

If trust has been hard for you, you are not alone. Many people reach a point where they want more balance, healing, and direction in their lives. My work focuses on helping you reconnect with your truth, rebuild your strength, and move forward with confidence.

I often support clients working through anxiety, relationship struggles, childhood wounds, and major life transitions. Many of the people I work with are learning how early experiences shaped their self worth and relationships today.

Clients often describe me as compassionate, insightful, and easy to talk to. I create a space where you can explore your story honestly while also moving toward real growth and emotional renewal.

I specialize in helping individuals, couples, and families who want to gain deeper insight, heal from the past, and create positive change in their lives. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or significant life transitions, I’m here to help you uncover your resilience and empower you to move forward with confidence. I see my role as both a guide and a partner, helping you tap into your own strengths and resources to make lasting changes.

As a licensed clinical social worker with a master’s degree from The National Catholic School of Social Services, I bring extensive experience from my work in university-based teaching hospitals and ambulatory care clinics. My practice focuses on supporting adults and their caregivers through challenges such as anxiety, depression, complex medical conditions (acute and chronic), medical trauma, loss, grief, and significant life transitions.

I have a specialization in guiding individuals and their caregivers through the cancer journey, encompassing every phase—from diagnosis and treatment to recovery, survivorship, and end-of-life care. I have also worked extensively with patients undergoing stem cell transplants, CAR-T and immunotherapy.

My training and experience also includes helping individuals manage disorders of the brain-gut interaction. Support, education and strategies address the connection between the mind and gastrointestinal health. Recognizing that everyday stressors can greatly affect your well-being, I adapt my clinical approach to suit a variety of life situations, always tailoring care to meet your unique needs.
