Cosmic Mother Counseling & Wellness is a nurturing space dedicated to helping women, children, adolescents, and families heal, grow, and reconnect with themselves and one another. We believe that healing is a deeply personal journey and that everyone deserves to feel heard, supported, and empowered as they navigate life's challenges.

Our compassionate team of counselors provides personalized, holistic mental health counseling that honors the connection between the mind, body, and emotional well-being. We combine traditional evidence-based counseling with somatic, mindfulness-based, and integrative approaches to help you cultivate greater well-being and reconnect with your joyful purpose.

While maternal mental health remains at the heart of our practice, we have expanded our services to support women of all ages, children, adolescents, and families through a variety of life's experiences and transitions.

Life can bring unexpected challenges, and sometimes we all need a little extra support along the way. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed by everyday stress, struggling with difficult emotions, healing from painful experiences, or navigating a new chapter in your life, counseling can provide a safe and nurturing space to explore your feelings and discover new ways of moving forward.

You do not need to be experiencing a crisis to benefit from counseling. Perhaps you are seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, hoping to strengthen your relationships, learning to establish healthier boundaries, or simply longing to feel more connected, confident, and at peace in your everyday life.

Whatever brings you to us, we are here to meet you where you are, honor your unique experiences, and support you in creating a more balanced, fulfilling, and joyful life.

At Cosmic Mother Counseling, we believe that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to healing.

Our counselors bring a variety of clinical backgrounds, professional training, and areas of expertise to provide personalized counseling for anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, addiction, maternal mental health, parenting challenges, relationship concerns, chronic illness, and more.

Depending on your individual needs and the counselor you work with, your journey to wellness may incorporate traditional talk therapy, behavioral activation, art & sound healing, mindfulness exercises, somatic practices, and other integrative mind-body techniques. Together, you and your counselor will explore what is important to you and develop an approach that supports your unique needs, experiences, and personal goals.

Yes! Maternal mental health is the heart and foundation of Cosmic Mother Counseling.

We believe that mothers deserve to be nurtured, too. Whether you are planning for pregnancy, expecting a baby, navigating postpartum, or raising children of any age, motherhood can bring profound emotional, physical, and personal changes.

Our maternal mental health & wellness services are designed to help women navigate these transitions, heal from past trauma, cultivate greater well-being, and connect to the nurturing mother within. We offer support for pregnancy and postpartum anxiety and depression, birth trauma, parenting stress, relationship changes, identity shifts, and the many challenges that can arise as you grow and evolve through motherhood.

Our goal is to provide a compassionate space where you can reconnect with yourself, explore your needs, and feel supported as both a mother and an individual.

Yes! We recognize that childhood and adolescence are filled with important emotional, physical, and social changes, and that young people sometimes need a little extra support as they navigate these experiences.

Our counselors provide a safe and nurturing space where children and adolescents can explore their feelings, develop healthy coping skills, build confidence, and learn to navigate life's challenges. We offer support for anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional and behavioral difficulties, school-related stress, family changes, and relationship concerns.

We also provide specialized support for pregnant and parenting teens, helping young mothers navigate the emotional changes of pregnancy, prepare for motherhood, adjust to their new roles, and develop the confidence and skills needed to nurture both themselves and their growing families. We value working collaboratively with parents and caregivers when appropriate, while honoring each young person's individual needs, experiences, and growing independence.

Each of our counselors serves different age groups and brings unique areas of expertise. Please contact us to explore which clinician may be the best fit for your child or adolescent.

At Cosmic Mother Counseling, we recognize that our emotional experiences do not exist separately from our bodies. Stress, trauma, and life's challenges can influence how we think, feel, connect with others, and experience ourselves in our own bodies and in the world.

Our holistic approach honors this mind-body connection by integrating traditional counseling with practices that encourage greater self-awareness, emotional connection, and nervous system regulation. Depending on your needs and your counselor's training, sessions may incorporate mindfulness, grounding exercises, body awareness, somatic practices, and other integrative approaches.

Our goal is to help you reconnect with your body, develop a deeper understanding of yourself, and cultivate a greater sense of balance and well-being. You do not have to participate in any particular technique or approach. Your counselor will work with you to create a personalized counseling experience that honors your comfort, preferences, and individual healing journey.

Finding a counselor you feel comfortable with is an important part of your healing journey.

We believe that a genuine, trusting connection between you and your counselor creates a nurturing foundation for healing and personal growth. Each of our counselors brings their own unique personality, professional experience, areas of expertise, and counseling style to our practice.

We invite you to explore our counselors' bios on the "our counselors" page to learn more about their backgrounds, the populations they serve, and their individual approaches to counseling. If you are unsure where to begin, please reach out! We would love to help you explore your options and connect with a counselor who aligns with your needs and goals.

Yes! We believe that access to compassionate mental health care should not be limited by financial barriers.

We accept several major insurance plans through Headway, including Aetna, Cigna, and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas. Insurance participation and coverage may vary depending on your individual plan and the counselor you choose.

Once you reach out to begin counseling, we will guide you through the process of verifying your insurance benefits, completing your intake paperwork, and getting started with your counselor.

Please contact us if you have any questions about insurance or payment options.

Yes! We believe that access to compassionate mental health care should not be limited by financial barriers.

We want therapy to feel as accessible and flexible as possible, so Cosmic Mother Counseling offers private-pay appointments for clients who do not have insurance, prefer not to use insurance, or whose insurance is not currently accepted.

Private-pay sessions with one of our LMSW therapists are $100 per session. A limited number of reduced-fee appointments may also be available depending on clinician availability. Choosing private pay also allows you to receive care without involving your insurance company in your treatment. No matter how you choose to pay, our goal is the same: to provide compassionate, personalized support that feels right for you.

All of our counseling services are currently offered virtually, allowing you to receive compassionate, personalized support from the comfort of your own home or another private space.

We understand that finding time for yourself can be challenging, especially when balancing family, work, school, motherhood, illness, and the many demands of everyday life.

Virtual counseling provides a convenient and accessible way to prioritize your emotional well-being without adding travel time to your already busy schedule. Our sessions are conducted through a secure Telehealth platform, and you can connect with your counselor using a computer, tablet, or smartphone.

Our virtual counseling services are available throughout Texas, allowing us to support individuals and families in both urban and rural communities.

Whether you live in Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, Austin, San Antonio, or a smaller Texas community, you can connect with one of our counselors from the comfort of your own space.

Some of our clinicians may also be able to provide counseling in additional states based on their individual professional licenses.

Please contact us to learn more about available services in your area.

Taking the first step toward counseling can feel overwhelming, and we want to make the process as welcoming and simple as possible.

You can begin by completing our online contact form or reaching out to us directly. Let us know a little about yourself, what kind of support you are looking for, and whether you have a particular counselor in mind.

We will help you explore available appointment options, answer your questions, and guide you through the next steps to begin your counseling journey.
