Our therapists offer addiction counseling in Houston, TX

My name is Jideofor Azie. I am a compassionate mental health professional dedicated to supporting individuals through life's challenges with empathy, cultural humility, and evidence-based care. I have clinical experience working with diverse populations across a range of settings and draw from cognitive-behavioral therapy, person-centered therapy, and strengths-based practices to tailor care to each individual's unique needs. I typically work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, stress, mood disorders, bipolar disorder, substance use challenges, schizophrenia, ADHD, life transitions, PTSD, and relationship challenges. 

As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I take a holistic, patient-centered approach to assessment, medication management, and therapy. I consider biological, psychological, and social factors to tailor care to each person. Clients can expect a collaborative, respectful approach combining medication, education, therapy, and coping strategies for well-being. 

I understand that reaching out can feel like a big and sometimes uncertain step, but you don't have to navigate it alone. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported as you move toward greater balance and well-being. If you're ready to begin, I invite you to schedule an appointment—I would be honored to work alongside you. 

Hello, I'm Christian Nwofor, PMHNP-BC, licensed in Texas. I provide psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and supportive therapy to adolescents and adults through telehealth and in-person settings. I work with individuals facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, OCD, schizophrenia, and other mood and thought disorders. Many clients come to treatment overwhelmed by stress, trauma, or life transitions—others seek greater stability, improved focus, or support in achieving their goals. My goal is to create a safe, collaborative, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. 

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and evidence-based. I combine medication management with supportive therapy and psychoeducation to help clients understand their symptoms. I incorporate CBT techniques to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and build resilience. My goal is to empower clients with practical tools for lasting growth. 

Taking the first step toward treatment can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to face it alone. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or simply feeling stuck, I'm committed to a safe, supportive space where you feel heard. I believe healing and growth are possible for everyone, wherever you are. I welcome the chance to support you. 

Deanna Ball is a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor, with over 20 years of experience. She is passionate about working with the LGBTQ+ community as well as addiction issues. She is a Sex Therapist as well as an Anger Resolution Therapist. Deanna specializes in depression, grief, sexual health, LGBTQ+ issues, and substance abuse (addiction) issues.

Deanna had two Master's degrees from Grand Canyon University, one in Professional Counseling and the other in Addiction Counseling. She is currently attending the University of Metaphysical Science and has achieved her Bachelor's in Metaphysics and has recently submitted her Master's Thesis and will soon be awarded her Master of Metaphysical Science degree. After that, she will pursue her Ph.D. in Metaphysical Science.

Deanna's background in addiction has molded her to be more direct & assertive in her approach. She doesn't hold back when giving feedback. Many clients say they appreciate the fact she's direct and tell it as she sees it. She won't hold your hand, but she will walk beside you. Many counselors do not have the addiction counseling specialty, several clients do not realize the effects addiction has had in their life; as they may have been raised in that environment & have no issues with drugs/alcohol personally. If you have been affected by addiction please reach out.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than nine years of experience helping adults navigate anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, emotional overwhelm, and patterns that leave them feeling stuck. I work especially well with clients who want more than a place to vent—they're looking for practical insight, clearer direction, and tools they can apply in everyday life. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, recognize patterns shaping your choices, and create meaningful, sustainable change.

My approach is practical, collaborative, and focused on making emotional and psychological concepts easier to understand. I use skill-based strategies for emotional regulation, trauma processing, cognitive reframing, mindfulness, and behavioral change. You can expect honest conversation, curiosity, humor, and tools tailored to how you think and live.

You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. We can begin where you are, make sense of what's been weighing on you, and work toward changes that feel realistic and meaningful. If you're ready for a supportive, practical space focused on moving forward, I encourage you to schedule an appointment.

I take a collaborative, strengths-based approach that helps clients better understand themselves, develop healthier coping skills, and navigate life's challenges with confidence. Together, we'll identify patterns, build practical strategies, and work toward meaningful, lasting growth.

Wherever you are in your journey, you don't have to face it alone. If you're ready to take the next step, I'd be honored to provide a supportive space where you can heal, grow, and move forward with confidence.

I'm Carrie, and I'm a licensed professional counselor. I graduated from Lamar University in August 2024 with a master's degree in counseling and development, and I earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Houston–Downtown in 2012 with a major in psychology and a minor in sociology. I have worked in the field for about 14 years. I am a boy mom and cat lover—I have four sons (two of my own and two bonus) and a husband who keeps me on my toes. I work with clients of all ages and various concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, parenting, and more. 

Different experiences throughout my life have led me to want to help others. Above all, being the daughter of a beloved father who struggled with addiction, dealing with trauma, and the intense grief from his passing have been the major driving forces of my motivation. I have an integrative approach to counseling and hope to grow with you at Thriveworks, offering a safe space to work toward your goals while guiding and empowering you. 

My goal is to offer a safe, warm, nonjudgmental space for you to share, grow, and feel encouraged. I hope you will take the next step by scheduling an appointment today. You've got this—I can't wait to connect!
