Therapists in Texas

Finding Psychologists, Therapists, and Counselors in Texas

Finding a therapist in Texas may be easier in the city of Dallas. Online therapy may be your best option if you live in more rural areas or if a therapist with a particular specialty is not located near you.  

Out of pocket costs for therapy in Texas will run between $75 - $150+ per session. For couples counseling and family therapy, costs might start at $100 - $175+ per session. First appointments with a therapist tend to be a little longer and may cost a little more. Also, it’s important to note that specialized services can cost more.

There are currently over 40,000 counselors working in Texas with licenses, including Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSW), Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), and Psychologists (Ph.D. and Psy.D.). 

If you think you might qualify for free or reduced-cost services from the state, take a look at the Texas HHS website and/or see if you qualify for Medicaid.

Licensed clinicians (and even interns) are held to strict practice guidelines to protect clients. If you’d like to learn more about identifying and reporting misconduct, learn more here.
