Teen Therapy + Parent Support in Texas
Support for teens with anxiety, ADHD, and school stress — plus parent support that helps at home.
I help teens feel calmer, more confident, and more understood — while helping parents create less conflict and more connection at home.
Virtual sessions available across Texas.
Does this sound familiar?
Most of the families I work with are walking through some version of this.
Your teen seems anxious, shut down, or constantly overwhelmed.
ADHD is making focus, follow-through, and big feelings hard to manage.
Mornings, homework, and bedtime have turned into the same fight on repeat.
They hold it together at school, then come home and unravel.
You've tried the books, the apps, and the school meetings — nothing really sticks.
You love your kid, but you're exhausted, worried, and not sure what to try next.
You're not failing. And you're not alone.
How I help
Therapy for your teen. Coaching for you.
I work with the whole picture — what your teen is carrying, and what you're navigating as a parent — so change actually shows up at home.

About Julio
Hi, I'm Julio.
- Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas
- Works primarily with teens and parents
- Trained in CBT, the Unified Protocol, and Triple P (Positive Parenting Program)
I work almost entirely with teens and the parents trying their best to support them. If your house feels louder, tenser, or quieter than it used to — you're in the right place.
My approach is warm but practical. With teens, I use CBT and the Unified Protocol to help them understand what anxiety and ADHD actually feel like — and what to do when those feelings show up. With parents, I draw on Triple P to give you tools that work in real moments at home, not just in theory.
My style is warm, practical, and straightforward — not overly clinical, and not just advice-giving.
I do this work because I know how lonely it can feel to be the kid who looks fine on the outside and feels lost on the inside. And I know how much it changes things when one adult truly gets it — for your teen, and for you.

Questions parents usually ask
How do I know if my teen actually needs therapy?+
You don't have to wait for a crisis. If stress, mood, or focus is getting in the way of school, sleep, friendships, or how they treat the people they love — that's reason enough to talk to someone.
What if my teen doesn't want to come?+
That's really common. Most teens start off nervous, skeptical, or unsure therapy will help. My first job is to make the process feel less awkward and more doable than they expected. We start where they are.
Do you work with both my teen and me?+
Yes. Your teen gets their own one-on-one space, and you get your own parent coaching grounded in Triple P. When it's helpful, we bring everyone together — but only when it makes sense.
Can therapy really help with ADHD?+
It can. Therapy doesn't replace medication if that's part of your teen's plan, but it gives them practical tools for focus, emotion regulation, and follow-through — and gives you a clearer picture of what's actually going on under the surface.
How long does this usually take?+
Most families start noticing real shifts within the first three to six months. We check in along the way, and you're always in the driver's seat about pace and direction.
Do you offer virtual sessions?+
Yes — sessions are virtual and available across Texas, which makes it a lot easier for busy teens and parents to show up consistently.
Do you take insurance?+
I'm a private-pay practice, but I can provide a superbill you can submit to your insurance for possible out-of-network reimbursement.
