Attachment-based Therapists in 77070

I graduated from the University of Houston with an MEd in Counseling. I am passionate about helping others feel heard and validated. I have extensive experience working with populations with chronic mental illness. I have worked in inpatient hospital settings, partial hospitalization programs, intensive outpatient programs, and group and private practices. My style is Eclectic as I use a variety of therapeutic styles and interventions during sessions, such as Cognitive Behavioral therapy, Solution-Focused therapy, Mindfulness, Attachment-Based therapy and Strengths-Based therapy.

I provide individual counseling services for adults (18+) with a focus on trauma, grief & loss, experience in the foster care system, life changes & transitions, LGBTQIA+ support or careers & education. While life can feel overwhelming, I can help you navigate its challenges with more clarity and ease.

Have you ever felt seen? I mean really seen. Seen for everything you are. The rawness that comes with that. It makes us feel alive. Energy to engage, energy to connect, energy to contribute. I want to help you become a reflection of your highest self. I want to help you get to know you. I want to weather the storm of life with you, be there to see you in your most exquisite moments but also in your most broken. My biggest takeaway from therapy was how crucial the therapeutic relationship is: so much more work, growth, & healing can be done when you feel safe with your therapist, when you feel they really see you and understand you.

At Cypresswood Christian Counseling we connect with compassion and empathy offering hope and permanent healing solutions to whatever you are going through. As Licensed Professional Counselors, we challenge you to personal growth and transformation through Christ centered, biblically based counseling. We offer solutions for permanent change through counseling approaches that result in personal transformation and healing from the inside out. This contrasts to symptom-focused psychotherapy found in secular settings. We believe that healing, peace, and hope are possible for everyone.

I am a therapist driven by a passion for helping others navigate life's challenges and discover their inner strength and resiliency. Life can be difficult. Sometimes these difficulties can start to weigh heavy and limit our abilities to see clearly, make decisions, and manage our daily life. It becomes clear that something needs to change, but finding the right place to start can be a challenge. I am here to help you untangle the mess and work toward healing and self-discovery. I aim to foster self-acceptance and personal growth and create an environment free from judgment where you can safely explore your emotions and experiences.

Hello! My name is Hazzel Monterroza and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My approach is client-centered, which means I will meet you where you are on your path towards healing, and we will focus on achieving your personal goals to create lasting change. My clients are children, teenagers and young women (ages 4-25) who are experiencing symptoms of trauma, anxiety, depression, self-esteem/body image issues, and those who are struggling to manage stress, anger, life transitions, facing spiritual challenges, and relationship conflicts.

Sometimes, adverse experiences can block us from accessing the inner strengths we have used to cope in the past. My passion is assisting adolescents and adults in recovering from life stressors and transitional life changes. From a trauma-informed perspective, I utilize both Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR to assist clients in their healing. I provide an open, safe, and non-judgmental environment and use a client-focused, strengths-based approach. My therapeutic style is empathetic and interactive as I learn about my clients’ strengths, the tools they have previously used, and what goals they wish to accomplish in therapy.

Greetings! My name is Charles Vela, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor here in the state of Texas. It has been my life’s passion to support and encourage individuals in living their fullest life and healing from past trauma. I received my undergraduate degree in philosophy and psychology at the University of Texas-Austin and went on to my graduate studies at UTRGV.

The client is the expert on their life, and I believe in the collaborative nature of the therapeutic alliance between the client and therapist. As a team, we will come up with interventions to change the process and patterns of the way you think, feel, and behave. In my thousands of hours in the field, I have witnessed countless clients improve using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) through an informed trial-and-error process. CBT has the most evidence-based research validating its efficacy and presumes that the mind, body, and social environment are connected in a very sensitive ecosystem.

Many of us struggle with the fear of letting go...of something. It can be a frightening process and you may feel hopeless and helpless at times. However, the empowerment that can be gained by letting go and ridding yourself of negative thoughts can be truly life changing. It may be hard, but my role is to help you reach your personal goals. Counseling is my second career. In the earlier part of my life, I earned an MBA and spent 10 years working in international sales and marketing. I was moved to begin a new career helping other people after counseling personally turned my life around and provided me with balance and peace.

Finding the right match between client and therapist is the most critical factor in achieving a positive treatment outcome. It takes a great amount of trust to form a therapeutic relationship. Compassion coupled with confronting unhealthy coping that one may not be aware of are keys to lasting change. My clients often report feeling not only understood, but also helped in understanding their struggles from another perspective. Together we explore unhelpful patterns while practicing healthier ways of being. Clients know my level of sincerity, knowledge and dedication fairly quickly as I believe genuineness is essential to good treatment outcomes.

I believe that each person is created with uniqueness, talents and strengths to do amazing things in this life. But life is hard and at times there are barriers that prevent us from being our best selves. I bet it took a lot of courage to reach out to ask for help. If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, hopelessness, loneliness, or a difficult relationship I can help. I am passionate about guiding women past their stress, shame and insecurities to find their unique self and return to joy. I will give you compassionate support and together we will walk this journey to find hope and celebrate your story.

If you you're a woman who finds herself searching for a relationship to "fix" you, unable to stop seeing someone even though you know they're bad for you, uncontrollably stalking exes after break-ups, getting "high" from romance or the fantasy of one, and using sex to get or feel loved, I am here to help you. Through our time together, you will be able to let go of desperation and feelings of low self esteem, not be dependent on emotionally unavailable partnerships, and regain control of sexually compulsive behaviors by learning to love yourself first.

I work collaboratively with adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, and other issues that prevent them from fully showing up for themselves or the people in their lives. Sometimes we cannot understand what we are feeling, or why we act the way we do. We hold onto old stories of ourselves and limit ourselves when we don’t even realize we are doing it. I also have experience and a love for working with adolescents and children. I approach my young clients with respect, recognizing them as unique individuals with their own aspirations, challenges, and dreams, separate from their parents/guardians.

I have been working with families and children for nearly twenty years. I specialize in relationships, school issues, family conflict, foster and adoptive families, ADHD, anxiety, depression, conflict resolution, and other relational issues. I enjoy helping people realize their goals of living a peaceful and confident life. When people are ready to discuss the things that are holding them back, I am here to help them realize their full potential and overcome obstacles they face.

As an interactive, solution-focused therapist, my treatment approach is to provide support and realistic feedback to help clients move beyond their current difficulties and long-standing issues. With empathy and compassion, I help individuals find resolution to a wide range of personal concerns and psychological issues. I draw from a variety of methodologies and techniques to incorporate what is most helpful for each individual. In a relaxed and encouraging atmosphere, I offer a highly personalized approach adapted to my clients' individual needs to help them navigate through difficult times in their lives and achieve the happiness they deserve.

I work with individuals, couples, and groups whose lives have been disrupted by anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, traumatic events, substance abuse, and sexual addiction. My goal is to accept clients unconditionally, where they are, as they are. I provide a safe, non-judgmental atmosphere in which my clients can explore, process and find freedom from the issues that hinder them from fulfilling their God-given roles. To best meet the needs of my clients, I use a variety of modalities including EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), DBT, Somatic focused, and Mindfulness strategies.

From the moment a client enters our grounds, we strive to provide a warm, therapeutic, and inviting atmosphere. We have a variety of talented counselors and speech therapists with various specialties that allows us to match you with the therapist that is a fit for your needs. Whether you are faced with challenging and stressful relationships within your family, a personal need of a struggling child or family member, or an individual need for yourself, we have the right counselors for you. We look forward to working with you!

Do you struggle in your relationship, have problems communicating, fighting all the time and feel disconnected and disheartened?

Sometimes deeper work is needed but other times just a few little changes can lead to a big shift. Life can be a struggle, but you don't need to suffer. Let me help you.
