After 30 years as an occupational therapist helping individuals overcome physical challenges, I returned to school to pursue my desire to become a licensed counselor. I believe that mental health is as important as physical ability and that it is never too late to pursue a dream. I believe that asking for help is a sign of strength rather than one of weakness.

We have four counselors & a mental health coach in our practice to meet your unique needs. Dr. Ruth, Yuri, David, Julie & I stand ready to come alongside you and work ourselves out of a job. Ideal clients want to improve their relationship & are willing to take personal responsibility for their part in making it happen. They don't come in looking for us to 'fix' the other person, but come in seeking help from a wise partner to help improve themselves & their relationship. The ideal client has a moral base through faith in a personal relationship with God to draw on when facing difficult times.

Greetings! My name is Robyn Gould and I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with over 12 years in the behavioral health field. There are times when life is extremely stressful and we struggle to cope and bring balance to our lives. I understand the difficulties within relationships to include work, children, family, and partners. Being able to express yourself in a safe space with a person who is passionate about helping you to regain control over your life is the reason for me being a therapist. I thrive in a positive environment and look forward to working with you to rediscover your strengths.

I work with individuals, families, and with relationship issues. I believe that clients have the ability to choose how to resolve their own problems and can make their own decisions with my assistance as a facilitator. I believe that clients are responsible for their own behaviors, thoughts, and feelings. As a counselor, I hope to promote my client’s greater self-awareness through evaluating and resolving their life experiences that lead to increased confidence, self-esteem, independence, mental health, and the capacity to effectively navigate the complex challenges of life. I am also EMDR trained.

We are created for connection, and our attachment tendencies develop early in life. Our hidden emotions (fear, attachment needs, shame, trauma) drive our behavior, or external emotions (anger, defensiveness, frustration, withdrawal, sadness, joy). Most of us go through life dealing with others only at the external level. What a waste? How can you connect while external emotions block empathy and attachment? The world resists change. It takes a decision, a new focus, and a resolve to change the momentum of a freight train. Change takes a first step, and then another to change what was to what can be.

Hi, my name is Dr. Ashley Ward, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive and collaborative environment so you can rediscover your strengths.

My work includes providing skills training and case management to school age children and adolescents who are struggling with mental health problems like ADHD and those on the Bipolar spectrum. My most rewarding work in the past has been with young people without a male figure in their life, and in that process I have told each of my clients that I am better at asking questions than giving advice. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor and, as such, have responsibilities to monitor Professional Counselor Interns during their pre-licensing experience.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate who holds a Master’s of Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from The University of Houston and a Bachelor’s of Science in Psychology from Sam Houston State University. I utilize a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy, person centered therapy, and various other modalities to customize a treatment plan for each client.

At Vital Growth Counseling & Wellness, we offer individual counseling to help you learn how to take control of your life and respond to challenging situations with healthy coping skills. We may help you cope with major life changes, stress due to work, grief, chronic illness, and trauma from physical or sexual abuse. We also offer couples therapy as healthy relationships take intentional awareness and initiative, it's easy to slip into a roommate role, and neglect the romance we once had.

Whether you need to address past stressors or recent life events, I am here to help. It can be hard to manage it all even when it feels like life shouldn't be this challenging. I am here to join you in the hopes of rediscovering your inner strengths. I will be patient and tolerant of uncertainty, so that you can focus on feeling empowered.

The world is not always an easy place to live. Often our circumstances are beyond our control, but we can learn to change the lens through which we view our circumstances. Through counseling, you and I can work together to help you develop coping strategies, increase personal growth, strengthen your emotional well-being, address unresolved issues, explore patterns of behavior, and improve interpersonal relationships. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental place for clients ages 18 and up to process feelings and navigate the difficult issues of life. If you live in Texas, I would love to support your emotional needs through Telehealth!

I specialize in helping couples to strengthen and recover their relationships. There are times in all relationships when partners don't feel loved, wanted, or understood they way they need to be. This leads to fears, feelings of hurt and sadness. Reactions to protect yourselves from these painful moments of disconnection can lead to cycles of arguing, make it harder to work together, and lead to distance and relationship distress. Relationship injuries such as betrayals, past hurts from before the current relationship, and other factors can make these cycles of conflict worse.

I work with teens and young adults impacted by trauma, sadness, worry, relationship dynamics, and intrusive thoughts. Would you like to think more clearly about your situation and explore ways to move forward? Give me a call.

I offer a safe, comfortable and confidential space for our work together. My goal is to help families and individuals to create lasting positive change through an accessible, trusting therapeutic relationship. I hope you'll visit my website at bewelloftexas.com.

Since 2006, my experience has been growing in guiding and supporting folks in overcoming the psychological barriers of severe mental health concerns and situational or generalized concerns. I learn what the individual is seeking to gain and create a therapeutic approach unique to that individual. I'm trained in multiple modalities and typically utilize a combined approach. I enjoy working with adults and couples and provide both individual and family counseling. Choosing a counselor can be a difficult process so I embrace every opportunity as an honor to build a trusting relationship and unveil wellness.

"It's always something. So, let's work on it together." Nearly everyone needs help now and then. Whatever your challenges, strides can be made to overcome them. Together we can help you become the best "you" possible. While many people notice changes as early as the first session 4 to 8 sessions is common in my practice. Here are some questions to ponder. Is there discord in your relationships? Are you willing to forgive and start anew? Are you willing to take responsibility for your behaviors and attitudes? Are you willing to be proactive in your life and make positive changes for your own well-being? Yes? Let's talk.
