Mary Duran, LCSW, LCDC

As a dedicated therapist based in Houston, TX, my mission is to support you on your journey toward a more authentic and fulfilling life. I strive to create a welcoming, judgment-free environment where we can work together to identify your goals and develop a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your unique needs and circumstances. Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, substance use, personality disorders, or navigating life transitions, I am here to help. I specialize in working with young adults and adolescents, particularly those dealing with complex mental health challenges, including borderline personality disorder, substance use disorders, generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety, and major depressive disorder. My approach integrates evidence-based methods such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), attachment-based therapy, self-compassion techniques, and mindfulness practices. These modalities are designed to enhance emotional regulation, improve interpersonal effectiveness, and foster a deeper understanding of your patterns and behaviors. Together, we will identify and overcome obstacles, empowering you to develop emotional resilience, improve your self-esteem, and achieve lasting recovery. Contact me today to take the first step toward a healthier, more fulfilling life. Whether through in-person sessions in my Houston office or virtually across Texas, Colorado, Minnesota, Maryland, Indiana, Pennsylvania, D.C., and Maine, I am committed to supporting you every step of the way.
