Texas Therapists Who Treat You Like a Person, Not a Case History
At LifeWise Counseling we offer trauma-informed counseling for adults, couples, and teens across Texas, including first responders, veterans, and LGBTQIA+ clients who are tired of constantly explaining themselves before they can begin to heal. Every client starts with real assessments, so you’ll leave your first session knowing what’s going on and with one thing you can work on that week.

A promise we keep to our clients.
Every client starts with real assessments, and every session gives you something practical to take home.
Individual Counseling
Individual counseling covers anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, stress, identity, women’s health, and life transitions, beginning with assessments. You’ll leave session one with a clear picture of what’s going on and tools to use in between visits.
Couples Counseling
Couples counseling tackles what actually breaks relationships down: communication, trust, conflict, intimacy, and boundaries. We help you understand your own patterns and build better ones. No blame games.
Family Counseling
Family counseling addresses the daily strain that appears among family relationships: recurring conflict, breakdowns in communication, or a big transition that requires patience during an adjustment. We work on the patterns underneath it, while developing healthy boundaries.
Empathetic & Affirming Care
You shouldn’t have to explain yourself before you get to heal. We offer trauma-informed care for first responders, military and veterans, and neurodivergent clients, and affirming care for LGBTQIA+ clients.

Private-pay rates run $70–85 for sessions with our counseling intern, $135–155 with our LPC Associate, and $165–185 with our clinical director, depending on whether your sessions are geared for individual or couples/family therapy. Coverage, eligibility, network status, copays, deductibles, coinsurance, and contracted rates are determined by the insurance company. We recommend contacting your insurance company directly to verify benefits and financial responsibility before beginning services.
Your first session begins with an assessment, so you and your therapist have a clear picture of what’s going on. From there, most sessions involve talking through what’s happening in your life with real tools you can use right away. It’s perfectly normal to feel nervous during your first call!
