Find a therapist in Houston, TX — covered by insurance

Hi, I’m Taylor Avery, an LCSW in Texas, and I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of North Texas. I specialize in working with individuals navigating substance use, trauma, grief and loss, life transitions, anxiety, and depression, and I have extensive experience in both individual and intensive outpatient settings.

You carry things most people never see — the weight of what happened, the part of you that stays on

guard even when you're safe, the quiet exhaustion of holding it together for everyone else. For many

Black and African American adults, there's an added expectation to simply be strong and keep going.

Therapy with me is where you finally get to set that down. We work through trauma, PTSD, and the

stress that builds up when you've never had room to process it — so you can feel steady, present, and

like yourself again.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself, therapy can be a space to slow down and begin reconnecting with what matters most. I support adults who are navigating life’s challenges and want to better understand themselves, their emotions, and the patterns shaping their lives.

My role is to be a steady, supportive presence as you explore your inner world and move toward healing and growth. I strive to create a positive, judgment-free space where you feel safe showing up as you are and beginning the healing process at your own pace.

I have worked with a wide variety of populations and settings from non-profit agencies like group homes in foster care and Women's Advocacy shelters to outpatient settings, within a hospital. I have worked over the years with clients who are or who have experienced trauma, abuse, domestic violence, family violence, Many of my clients are successful working through the stress of new life adjustments to graduation, college, post partum and relationships.

Hi, I'm Tina Simmons, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and founder of Sharon Davis Counseling PLLC.

Howdy! My name is Jacob Jones and I'm an LCSW, got my bachelor's in sociology from UNT and my MSW from UTA. I worked in the homeless community, long term care and hospice and am now happy to provide therapy to individuals, couples and families. In my free time I enjoy traveling, reading and playing music and video games.

My approach to counseling was forged in the trenches of real-world recovery. For four years, I practiced at A Healthy Image Counseling and Consulting Services, where I worked extensively with court-mandated probation services, mental health, and substance abuse.

It was during those years—sitting face-to-face with individuals navigating some of the most difficult, high-stakes chapters of their lives—that my core philosophy was born. Through many raw, honest confides, I realized that true recovery and growth do not come from shame or forced compliance. Instead, they come when we have the courage to look beneath the surface of our behaviors and understand the "why" behind our actions.

I want you to know that when you sit across from me, you are in a completely non-judgmental space. I am uniquely equipped to handle heavy, complex struggles, and I specialize in helping individuals navigate:

• Substance Use & Addiction Recovery: Moving past shame to address the underlying pain, trauma, or habits driving substance use.
• Court-Mandated & System-Involved Support: Providing practical, respectful therapy for those navigating probation, legal stressors, or rehabilitation.
• Shadow Work & Self-Discovery: Unpacking deeply rooted patterns, behaviors, and defense mechanisms to foster genuine self-compassion.
• I'm also bilingual and offer sessions in both English and Spanish — ofrezco terapia en español.
