Teen Therapy + Parent Coaching in Texas
Support for overwhelmed teens — and exhausted parents.
When ADHD, anxiety, or school stress takes over, it affects the whole family. I help teens feel calmer, more confident, and better able to handle life's challenges — while giving parents practical tools that reduce conflict and rebuild connection at home.

Does this sound familiar?
Most of the families I work with are living some version of this.
Your teen is incredibly smart — but homework somehow turns into a nightly battle.
They seem perfectly fine at school… then completely fall apart once they get home.
You feel like you're walking on eggshells in your own house.
Every conversation somehow becomes an argument.
Your teen says "I'm fine," but you know they aren't.
You've read the books, downloaded the apps, and still feel stuck.
If you're nodding your head, you're not alone — and things can get better.
Imagine six months from now
Real change usually looks quieter than people expect — and it shows up in the small, everyday moments.
Your teen
- Feels more confident in who they are
- Understands anxiety instead of fearing it
- Manages ADHD with more independence
- Has healthier friendships
- Actually enjoys being at home again
You
- Stop walking on eggshells
- Know how to respond in difficult moments
- Feel connected instead of exhausted
- Enjoy family time again
- Trust that things are actually moving forward
Small changes each week create meaningful change over time.

About Julio
Hi, I'm Julio.
I've spent years helping teens who look perfectly fine on the outside while quietly struggling with anxiety, ADHD, perfectionism, or big emotions they don't know what to do with.
I've also worked with parents who are doing everything they can — and still wonder if they're helping in the right way.
My approach is practical, collaborative, and focused on helping the whole family — not just the teen sitting in the session. You'll always understand what we're working toward and why.

What parents often tell me
Common themes I hear from the families I work with.
“Our evenings finally feel peaceful again.”
“I understand my teen instead of feeling confused.”
“We argue less and connect more.”
“My teen actually uses the coping skills.”
“I don't feel alone in this anymore.”
“Mornings don't start with a fight now.”
These reflect common themes shared by families while protecting every client's confidentiality. They are not individual testimonials.
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 therapy?+
That's really common. Most teens start off nervous, skeptical, or sure it won't help. My first job is to make the process feel less awkward and more doable than they expected. We start where they are, not where they're 'supposed' to be.
What if we've already tried therapy and it didn't help?+
You're not alone in that. A lot of families I work with have been to someone before. We'll talk honestly about what didn't work last time so we can do something different — not just repeat the same experience.
How involved are parents in the process?+
As involved as it needs to be. Your teen gets their own private space, and you get your own parent coaching. When it helps, we bring things together — but only when it makes sense for your family.
Will you communicate with teachers or schools?+
When it's helpful and you're on board, yes. With your written consent, I can coordinate with schools, tutors, or other providers so everyone is rowing in the same direction.
How do I know if this is ADHD, anxiety, or something else?+
Often it's a mix, and the outside behavior can look the same either way. Part of our early work is helping you and your teen understand what's actually driving the struggle — so the plan we build fits the real picture.
Can therapy really help with ADHD?+
Yes. 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.
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.
