Currently Accepting New Patients! An ideal client voluntarily comes to therapy seeking assistance resolving the struggles they experience which are interfering with their daily functioning. The client is willing to engage in the therapeutic work with their time and energy in the effort to move toward healing.

Currently taking clients that can answer yes to (4-5 or more) of the following questions: Do you feel that life is a series of events just happening to you?; Do you feel too unique to be understood?; Are the source of the problems in your life a result of other people’s mistakes?; Are you unable to connect and maintain relationships with others?; Do you swing between feeling like the best and worst person in the world? Do you feel overwhelmed and/or controlled by your emotions? Do you feel that your life would be better if everyone around you would just fix everything?

*I see clients both virtually and in person.* I want to help you attain your goals and create a happier and more balanced life. I offer a safe and non-judgmental environment to enable you to freely talk and explore your feelings.

My clients are bright teens, brilliant young adults, and some of the most loving parents and passionate professionals I know In fact, many of my clients are therapists nurses, or other "helpers" themselves. Some people start therapy seeking relief from anxiety or depression, recovery from an eating disorder, healing from a past hurt, or guidance for a specific issue in the present. In our work together, you will build new skills that foster authenticity, connection and resilience so that you can let go of perfectionism, avoidance, and any other armor that's keeping you stuck in harmful patterns.

We want to restore you to wholeness and hope, because we all have unresolved tension in our lives. And the longer we sit with our pain and discomfort, the harder it can be to find relief.

We focus on helping you understand yourself, support you breaking destructive patterns, and identify areas of growth in a safe setting that allows you to be exactly who you truly are. Our therapists and practitioners are trained in multiple disciplines so you will receive a personalized method that is the best fit for you.

It is often said that, "time heals all wounds". Well,..NOT if that wound is infected! Find a place of True Healing. We live in stressful times. Many people are tired of pushing through life wearing the mask/facade that "everything is fine", when underneath it isn't. It would be an honor for me to be invited to walk alongside you in your journey to restoring joy in life and getting closer to being the person you want to be. I encourage you to take the step of caring for yourself by starting therapy. Instead of continuing the facade, put on your "oxygen mask" FIRST, so you can continue to help and care for the people in your life.

In this time of crisis and fear that the whole world is experiencing, I think that I must first address how any person who comes to me is coping, how she/he is managing safety and fears for her/himself and his/her family. We cannot dissociate what is happening to all of us now because that replicates what may have happened to many of us in some distant past traumatic experience: Not to talk about what happened. My clients often have struggled with similar problems for years, often working hard in therapy, but not fully understanding the link between their struggles and their experiences in the past.

I am a licensed therapist and life coach specializing in individual, couples, and family counseling. Since 1976, I have worked in the Houston area providing personalized support and practical guidance to help my clients effectively address their life challenges and create lasting, positive relationships. My counseling sessions are relaxed and collaborative, with a focus on identifying emotional roadblocks, enhancing communication and self-awareness, and developing solutions that work for each of my client's unique circumstances.

I'm so glad you're considering counseling. It means that, at a deep level, you know you deserve better and are capable of more. You may be troubled by persistent negative thoughts and feelings, dissatisfied with certain important relationships, or frustrated that the choices you've made are no longer working for you. Either way, I applaud you for taking this step. Through psychotherapy, we will explore one of the most important subjects in your life - yourself. And we will journey together towards a future that reflects your deepest values and goals.

Drawing on a desire to help people overcome obstacles in their personal relationships, my professional work involves counseling individuals and families in order to achieve conflict resolution and better communication. As a neutral third party, I am better able to identify the challenges my patients face and facilitate positive change. Working with families, it is essential to foster a high level of trust between the therapist and family members. Mutual respect and open communication are essential to the therapeutic process. Engaging patients at their level, I help people find the change that they desire and the strength within themselves to achieve that change.

I primarily work with adults, although I have experience working with adolescents, couples, and families.

So many people bombard us with cliches like “Life is what you make it” or “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade,” when the unexpected happens or we lose control of situations and ourselves. Not only does this usually make us feel worse and/or not heard, we usually do not know what those sayings even mean. I’m sure people typically mean well when using these phrases, however, we need practical remedies to the “cards we were dealt” in our personal lives. It’s rare that the average person listens to us, validates us, AND helps us process what’s happening so that we can wholeheartedly move on.

Tamra White, Licensed Professional Counselor and Supervisor. I have been in individual practice for 18 years.

My client focus encompasses family issues, anxiety, depression, adolescent concerns, as well as the LGBTQ + community.

What happened to you hurt deeply. You might feel like your whole life has been affected by what happened. Your relationships aren’t the best, and you’ve been getting upset or irritated over nothing. Little things can ruin your whole day, and you can’t figure out why. You notice you’re “triggered,” but you just can’t seem to bounce back. To make matters worse, beliefs such as “I need to be perfect and please everyone,” or “I’m not good enough,” run through your head and affect your quality of life. Working through the past is a big step, and it’s great you’ve already begun by being here.
