The Clinician Behind the Practice

Felix Murad is an LPC-S with over 14 years of clinical experience and a private practice built around one principle: quality over volume. He earned a Master of Education in Counseling and is licensed in Texas, Washington, New Hampshire, and Florida — seeing clients across all four states via telehealth.

His specialties — OCD, anxiety, trauma, and body-focused repetitive behaviors — are areas where he has invested in genuine depth: studying the research, training in ERP, EMDR, ACT, and Habit Reversal Training, and doing the ongoing clinical work that keeps a therapist sharp.

He is also a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor. Working with LPC Associates building toward independent licensure is work he takes seriously — approached with the same rigor and honesty he brings to clinical practice.
PHILOSOPHY OF CARE

What Good Therapy Actually Is

Good therapy is not a weekly check-in, and it is not open-ended conversation with no direction. Good therapy is structured, evidence-based, and honest. It draws on what the research actually supports — applied to you specifically, not a generalized version of your presenting concern. It asks something of you. And it is grounded in a genuine clinical relationship, not a transactional one. Felix’s practice is built on this: humanistic at its core, evidence-based in its methods, direct in its delivery.

What Working With Felix Looks Like

Sessions are structured and purposeful — never aimless. Depending on what you came in for, you will know the framework, why it is being used, and what progress looks like. Felix brings clinical rigor without clinical distance. He will be direct with you. He will tell you what he thinks. He will also sit with you in the hard parts without trying to resolve them prematurely. He has done his own work. That matters — not as a credential, but as a reason the relationship feels different. He is not performing neutrality. He is genuinely engaged.

What to Expect

The Consult Call
A free 15-minute conversation to see if this is a fit — for you and for me. No forms, no intake paperwork. Just a real conversation about what you’re looking for and whether we’re a match.
02
Your First Session
A full clinical intake. Felix wants to understand your history, what you’ve already tried, and what you actually want from therapy. This session sets the foundation for everything that follows.
03
Your Treatment Plan
Based on the intake, Felix identifies the right approach for your specific presentation. Not a template — a plan that reflects who you are and what the evidence supports for your situation.
04
The Work
Sessions are focused and deliberate. You will know what you are doing and why. Progress is tracked. The work looks different depending on what you came in for — but it is never just talking.

WHY THIS WORK MATTERS

The Quality Problem in Mental Health

There is a significant gap between what therapy can be and what most people experience when they access it. Insurance-driven models prioritize volume. Group practices often rely on less experienced clinicians. Modality training is inconsistent. The result: most people have been to therapy before and come away feeling like it did not really work. This practice exists as a deliberate alternative. Small caseload. Specialist focus. Evidence-based methods applied with genuine care. The goal is to do the work well — not just to fill a schedule.

A Few Direct Answers

Questions people actually ask — answered plainly.

Direct, structured, and engaged. Felix will tell you what he thinks, what framework we are using, and why. There is warmth here, but it is not passive. Expect to be genuinely challenged — not confronted, but engaged. Most people describe sessions as different from therapy they have had before.

No. Most people who reach out are high-functioning and stuck — not falling apart. If you are living a life that works on the outside but does not feel like enough on the inside, that is a legitimate reason to be here. You do not have to be at the bottom.

Then this is the right place to say them. Clinical confidentiality exists for a reason. Felix has heard a great deal over 14 years of practice. Nothing about your internal experience is going to surprise him or change how he shows up for you. That is not a performance — it is the nature of doing this work seriously.

No. Depending on what you came in for, the work may involve structured exposure (ERP), trauma processing (EMDR), values-based behavior change (ACT), or a combination. Talk is part of therapy — it is not the whole of it. Felix uses evidence-based modalities with intentionality, not because they are in vogue, but because the research supports them.

Honestly, no. Felix works best with people who are ready to engage — not passively receive. If you want someone to listen without ever challenging you, this may not be the right fit. If you want a clinician who takes your work as seriously as you do, reach out.
