Chances are, you’re here because something isn’t working the way it used to.

You’ve been doing your best to keep it together—but inside, you’re overwhelmed, stuck, or just tired of pretending you're fine.

At the same time, you want more. You want clarity, peace of mind, and to finally feel like yourself again.

If you’re like many of my clients, maybe:

  • You feel flooded by big emotions or intense mood swings

  • Anxiety, self-doubt, or people-pleasing has taken over

  • You’re struggling with substance use—your own or someone else’s

  • You’re stuck in painful relationship patterns

  • You’re moving through a life transition that’s harder than expected

  • You’ve been told you’re “too much,” or you’re not even sure who you are

If any of this sounds familiar—you’re in the right place

I help teens (14+), young adults, men, and families navigate life’s hardest moments with more clarity, self-trust, and grounded support.
Together, we’ll explore what’s beneath the surface, shift what’s no longer serving you, and build a life that actually feels like yours.

Beginning the Process

Welcome to Healing Lane Therapy! I’m Mary Duran, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC) based in Houston, Texas. I provide individualized, evidence-based therapy in a supportive, nonjudgmental space—all services are offered in-person in Bellaire, TX or virtually across Texas, Colorado, Maryland, Indiana, Arizona, or Minnesota.

I specialize in helping young adults, teens (14+), men, and families work through complex mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, suicidal thoughts, substance use disorders, borderline personality disorder (BPD), and major life transitions. If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of your next step, you're not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out alone.

My therapeutic approach blends Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), attachment-based therapy, mindfulness, and self-compassion techniques. These evidence-based tools are designed to support emotional regulation, improve interpersonal relationships, and help you develop a stronger, more authentic connection to yourself.

Whether you're navigating a crisis or seeking long-term personal growth, therapy can be a powerful step toward clarity, confidence, and lasting well-being. Let’s work together to uncover what’s holding you back and create space for change.

Ready to begin? Reach out today to schedule a session. I look forward to supporting you on your path to healing.
