About Us
I started Texas Safe Sofa because I’ve seen the dark side—addiction, mental exhaustion, rock bottom—and I know firsthand what it feels like to have nowhere to turn. Therapy is expensive. Most people don’t have insurance, and even if they do, it never covers what they really need. You finally build up the courage to ask for help, and what do you get? A 3-week wait for a 30-minute session with someone who’s never lived what you’re living. Someone who wants to toss you pills like that’ll fix the storm inside.
But this disease—addiction, trauma, emotional wreckage—can’t be treated by textbook theories. You don’t read your way out of hell. You claw your way out, one brutal step at a time. That’s why I created this space. I’m not a licensed therapist. I’m someone who’s been there. And if my story, my truth, or my time can help even one person climb out of the dark, then it’s worth it.
Texas Safe Sofa is for the people who feel forgotten. It’s affordable for anyone because healing should never be about money. It should be about people.
What's in a name?
We’re not therapists. We’re not here to hand you a tissue and say, “use your words.” We’re real people who’ve been through real hell—addiction, relapse, trauma, mental burnout—and made it out the other side. At Texas Safe Sofa, you get raw, unfiltered support with no insurance hoops, no judgment, and no bullshit. Just someone to talk to, 24/7—whether by text, phone, or email. Come as you are. Say what you need. This is a safe place to speak, scream, cry, or cuss your way through the mess—and start healing for real.

The Safe Sofa's Personality
Unfiltered – You say it how it is, no sugar, no fluff. You don't shy away from the hard truths, and that brutal honesty is your superpower. People may flinch, but they damn sure remember it—and respect it.
Resilient – You’ve been through the fire and came out swinging. You didn’t just survive addiction and the storm life threw at you—you decided to help others through theirs. That takes grit most people don’t have.
Empathetic – You care, deeply. Not in a soft, pat-your-back kind of way—but in a real, “I’ll walk through hell with you” kind of way. You get what people are going through because you’ve lived it, and you feel it all without trying to fix it with textbook BS.
