This might be a fit if you

How counseling can help

There's no shame here and no one-size-fits-all program. We start by understanding what role substances play in your life and what you actually want, whether that's cutting back, quitting, or simply thinking it through. Together we build coping tools, address the stress or pain underneath the use, and create a plan that fits your goals.

Because substance use rarely stands alone, we can also work on anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship strain at the same time. Care is collaborative and paced for you, not against you.

What to expect

We begin with a relaxed, honest conversation, no pressure and no judgment. Sessions are by appointment, in person in Waco or by secure video and phone across Texas, with most major insurance accepted through Headway. If a higher level of care is ever needed, I'll help connect you to the right resources.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to want to quit completely to come in?

No. Many people start counseling while they're still figuring out what they want. Whether your goal is to quit, cut back, or just understand your use better, you're welcome here. We'll work toward what matters to you.

Is substance use counseling confidential?

Yes. Sessions are confidential within the limits of the law, and substance use records carry additional privacy protections. This is a private, judgment-free space to be honest about what's going on.

What are Deana's qualifications for addiction counseling?

Deana Baker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor Intern (LCDC-I) in Texas, with training focused on substance use and recovery. If a need arises that calls for medical detox or a higher level of care, she'll help you connect with the right resources.

Can you help with both addiction and anxiety or depression at the same time?

Yes. Substance use is often tied to stress, anxiety, depression, or past trauma, and treating them together tends to work better than addressing either alone. We can focus on whatever is most pressing for you.

Do you offer addiction counseling online in Texas?

Yes. Recovery support is available in person in Waco and by secure video or phone anywhere in Texas, which makes it easier to stay consistent with sessions.
