Counseling & Therapy Specialties
Anxiety Treatment
Anxiety counseling will help you learn the tools you need to decrease your anxiety. Anxiety is often caused by negative thoughts that create extreme negative feelings. We use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), to help you recognize your critical beliefs and replace them with more balanced thoughts. We combine CBT with mindfulness and relaxation techniques to help you gain control of your stress. Find out more on our service page.
EMDR Therapy &
PTSD Treatment
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is a type of therapy that can help you deal with distress, trauma, and other difficult life experiences. The mind has the capacity to heal itself much in the same way the body can heal itself if it has the right tools and circumstances.
EMDR helps remove the emotional blocks that have kept you from emotionally healing.
Eating Disorder Treatment
Eating disorders are a serious illness that can affect both your emotional and physical health. Counseling can help you gain freedom from your struggle with food, weight, poor body image, and the roller coaster of disordered eating. If you are not sure if you have an eating disorder or what can be done to make changes, we have a page all about it!
Postpartum Treatment
The journey into motherhood is a unique and sometimes overwhelming experience. It's normal to struggle emotionally after giving birth. If you feel depressed or overwhelmed, are having trouble connecting with your baby, or obsess about the safety of your baby, you may have postpartum depression. Postpartum depression treatment in Houston, TX can help you feel more like yourself again.
Couples Therapy & Marriage Counseling
Couples therapy is designed to work through areas of conflict and/or to work on aspects of your relationship you would like to change. Working with a therapist in a safe and confidential setting enables you to explore how your individual background, beliefs, attitudes, thoughts, and behaviors may affect your relationship in both positive and negative ways.

Parenting is the hardest job you will ever have. There is no manual for how to do this. You do your best to be there for your kids, but sometimes it helps to have someone with expertise to come alongside you and help you navigate parenting, as well as the complex emotions and stress that come with being a parent.
