Substance Use Therapists in Lubbock County, TX
I have 7+ years of counseling experience supporting individuals with mental health and substance use concerns.
On the outside, it may look like you have everything together—but internally, you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in cycles of overthinking. If intrusive thoughts, constant worry, or major life changes are taking a toll, you’re not alone. Therapy can help you slow down, gain clarity, and feel more in control. Many individuals are navigating periods of change—college, career shifts, or relationship stress—while managing internal pressure, perfectionism, or persistent worry. Together, we work to better understand these patterns and develop practical, effective tools to reduce anxiety and create lasting change.

It is my belief that we all need help at times in our lives, but reaching out can be difficult. Issues around addiction, trauma, communication within a relationship, and Autism can seem overwhelming. I have a strong belief that clients have the ability to resolve their own problems with some assistance. I believe that through a strong empathic working relationship, clients are capable of finding clarity and contentment in their lives. It is my job to help you through difficult times and provide you with the tools necessary to move on in your lives in a healthy way.

There are places where the air feels heavy, where silence carries fear, and each step feels like walking on glass. Every word is carefully weighed and measured. You learn to shrink yourself, listening for danger in each moment.
Then... there are places where you can finally breathe. The soul finds rest, the body unclenches, and the heart remembers it is safe to open. Rather than merely surviving the day—you are restored by it.
At Casa Hogar, Madeline helps you feel the difference between living in your body as a "house"—a place of mere shelter—and living in it as a "home", where self-talk is kind, grounding, and restorative.

In sessions we identify patterns that lead to substance use or sexual shame and build practical skills for emotional regulation and intimacy.
On the surface, your life may look normal while you are battling addiction, struggling with sexual concerns, and feeling stuck in relationship issues. You crave connection yet find emotions slippery, sometimes turning to substances to cope, and talking about sex brings shame or silence. Therapy can help you rebuild trust, safety, and healthier ways of relating. I work with the lasting effects of addiction, sexual difficulties, and partner conflict so past patterns stop steering daily life. Together we will explore triggers, develop safer coping strategies, and practice clearer communication to reclaim closeness and balance.

My clients often feel weighed down by stress, disconnection, or old patterns that no longer serve them. They long for clarity, healthier relationships, and a deeper sense of self. Maybe you’re tired of feeling stuck, or you want to show up differently in your life and relationships. I provide a collaborative, compassionate space where we explore your story, honor your strengths, and work toward the change and connection you’re seeking. The courage to seek change is already a sign of your strength. Therapy is the space to honor that courage and step into your becoming.

I work with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, stress, and unresolved experiences that continue to impact daily life. Many clients appear functional on the outside while internally carrying overwhelm, painful memories, shame, grief, or emotional triggers. My approach is warm, practical, and evidence-informed. I am Master Certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), which can help reduce the emotional intensity of distressing memories without repeatedly retelling every detail. I also offer trauma intensives for focused work and meaningful progress in a shorter time frame.

Hello and welcome! I'm Cat and I work with adults and teens who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, out of control, emotionally dysregulated and unfulfilled. I love working with people who have always felt different and have struggled to find meaning, purpose, and belonging in life. My philosophy as an existential therapist is that emotional distress can stem from a mismatch between the life we are currently living and the life we really want for ourselves. I believe the best place for healing is the place where you feel true alignment with your values, goals, identity, relationships, and desires. Let me help you get there.

Hello and welcome! I’m originally from New Mexico, where I quickly recognized the growing need for mental health providers. After living in Texas for over 8 years, I’m proud to call this beautiful state home and look forward to supporting the community here. I love this state, its people, and culture. I earned my undergraduate degree in psychology, with a minor in history, and continued my journey at Texas Tech University, where I completed my master’s in Couples, Marriage, and Family Therapy (CMFT) as well as my PhD in the same discipline.

Life is a full of seasons; seasons of struggle and challenges, seasons of processing, and seasons of healing. I am a support system you can use to help navigate your season. Many clients I work with have experienced significant trauma. They seek counseling because they battle with the anxiety, depression, addiction, or PTSD that so commonly follows those events. I am very passionate about supporting my clients in establishing genuine identity and relationship stability. The counseling process can help you develop the emotional and cognitive “muscles” you need to experience freedom and confidence in YOUR world.
