Helpers need help too, even the ones who never ask for it. I'm Dr. Johanna Riojas, a licensed psychologist in Texas who supports teachers, first responders and fellow mental health professionals. I help adults with anxiety, depression, stress, grief and the weight of always being the strong one. My background includes university counseling and the VA. At Dua Health, you get a space where someone finally takes care of you.

Maybe saying no feels impossible, or your mind won't quiet down at night after a long shift. We'll work on setting boundaries and actually keeping them, managing stress and getting better sleep. I use CBT, which helps you change the thoughts that keep you running on empty. Psychodynamic work helps you understand where those patterns started. My style is warm and empathetic, and our first session is about what matters most to you.

I believe rest is part of the work, not a reward for finishing it. Outside sessions, you'll find me reading for book club or cheering on the 49ers. I see clients virtually anywhere in Texas. Whenever you're ready, I'd love to meet you.
