How much does teen therapy cost in Texas?

Emora is in-network with most major commercial plans, and with Medicaid in several states. Once your plan is applied, most families pay between $0 and $35 per session. You can check what your own plan covers before you book at /cost-estimate. There is no membership fee, and matching with a clinician is free.

What is the difference between a teen therapist and a school counselor?

A school counselor supports your teen inside the school. That means schedules, accommodations, short check-ins, and crisis response during the school day, usually across a caseload of several hundred students. A teen therapist is an independently licensed mental health clinician who provides ongoing, confidential treatment for anxiety, depression, self-harm, trauma, and related concerns. They are not competing roles, and many families keep both. The clinicians on this page are licensed therapists, not school staff.

What ages do teen therapists on this page work with?

This page lists clinicians who work with adolescents. Individual age ranges vary and are shown on each provider card. Younger siblings are better served by the child therapy page for Texas. Emora also has clinicians who work with young adults into their mid-twenties, which matters when your teen is heading to college and does not want to start over with someone new.

How soon can my teen start?

Only clinicians who are currently accepting new clients appear on this page, and the times on each card come from that clinician’s live calendar. Many families book a first session within about 48 hours. If your teen is in immediate danger, call or text 988 now rather than waiting for an appointment.

Are teen therapy sessions virtual?

Yes. Every session is over secure video. Your teen will need a private room and a time that does not collide with practice or a shift, which is why clinicians on this page keep evening and weekend availability. Emora does not operate physical clinics.

About teen therapists in Texas

A teenager who agrees to therapy has usually been carrying something for a while. Parents often get here after a stretch of slammed doors, grades sliding, a friendship that fell apart, or one comment at dinner that made the whole house go quiet. Wanting help for your teen does not mean you have failed them, and it does not mean things have to get worse before they can get better.

Teen therapy is not child therapy with older clients. Your teen is the client in the room, and the work depends on them believing that. The clinicians here are clear with families in the first session about what stays between them and your teen and what does not, so nobody has to guess. Most draw on cognitive behavioral therapy, DBT skills, or acceptance and commitment therapy, and many hold a short separate check-in with parents alongside the individual sessions.

Everyone on this page works with adolescents, is licensed in Texas, and is accepting new clients. Sessions are by video, which matters more at this age than any other. A teenager who will not sit in a waiting room will often talk from their own bedroom.

Life transitions and the weight of daily expectations can often leave us feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from our true selves. I believe that therapy is more than just a place to talk—it’s a collaborative space where we can uncover the strengths you already possess and build the tools to navigate life with more clarity and resilience. I’d love to connect and begin this journey with you.

I am passionate about supporting children, teens, and parents as they navigate the unique challenges that come with life transitions, including anxiety and depression. We experience life transitions at all ages, whether it is an evolving family system or a new school or job. These changes can bring stress, conflict, or feelings of not belonging. My goal is to create a safe, encouraging space where we can safely explore these changes while building confidence and resilience.
