I specialize in couples counseling and adult relationships. I have been doing couples work since 1977 and also have experience teaching graduate students in Marriage and Family Counseling. Courses included Separation, Divorce and Remarriage as well as Introduction to Marriage and Family Counseling. Previously I was Director of the Counseling Center at University of Houston where I had a staff of Psychologists and trained Psychologists.

We are one family with diversity in race, ethnicity, religion, background, and gender. No matter your background or history, we can work together to address the challenging issues to bring you comfort and resolution. As the Lead therapist at this agency, I have extensive experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults using a client-centered approach. Providing therapy, resources, and support has proven to be very effective in achieving the desired outcome. I am flexible with my schedule to accommodate yours. Make the call today. It could be the new beginning you have been hoping for. Let's do it!

My specializations include couples and marital counseling, individual therapy, behavioral health (i.e., the mind-body connection), mindfulness training, stress management, values/goals clarification, LGBT issues, and hypnosis. Understandably, clients want results that are both fast and lasting, so I tend to use some type of brief, solution-focused model in my work. I also have considerable experience utilizing Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a method that is both quick and effective for relationship/family/parenting problems, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, chronic pain, guilt, insomnia, medical impairments, work stress, anger/resentment, smoking addiction, and many other difficult issues.

Therapy is a process. I feel privileged to join my clients in working towards improving their lives. I have worked in private practice since 2006, providing family/couple, individual, and group therapy services. I work with clients of diverse ethnicities, ages, and genders. My therapeutic approach is collaborative and solution-focused, family therapy-based, culturally sensitive, and client-centered.

As a native of Vietnam, who came to the U.S. in my early teens, I am fluent in English and Vietnamese. This multi-cultural/multi-lingual background helps me understand, accept, and work effectively with clients of all ethnics and genders, especially those with acculturation and generation gap issues. I accept most insurance, EAP, CHIP, Medicaid, and out-of-pocket payments. I have over 15 years of professional experience and been in private practice since 1998 as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT.) I provide individual, marriage/couple, family, and group counseling to clients ages 4 and older.

On the road of life there are twists and turns, hills and valleys, and at times you may feel lost and all alone, or don't know which way to go. Help is only a telephone call or e-mail away. I use solution-focused brief and cognitive behavior therapies in therapeutic collaboration with adolescents, individual adults and couples to facilitate and promote change in their lives. In addition, I offer parenting, pre-marital and anger management sessions. Evening and weekend appointments are available.

Greetings, I'm Tamera, a Texas Licensed Professional Counselor, National Certified Counselor and owner of a teletherapy private practice covering Houston and surrounding areas. For the past 10 years, I have provided mental health services in diverse populations. I believe that every person has the power within to heal and experience a positive transformation. Using a cognitive-behavioral approach, my goal is to work collaboratively with each client to unlock their power potential. Together we will challenge unwanted patterns and uncover new perspectives. With these insights the client with be able to live a more fulfilling life.

If you're dealing with anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, feeding and eating disorders, relationship concerns, or big life decisions I want to help you - and I make it easy by conducting all sessions online. I like to collaborate with my clients to aid them in identifying their areas of struggle, creating workable goals and plans to help move forward in the change process and re-write unhelpful internal dialogue while creating fresh perspective. I am glad to integrate personal stories, faith, values, DBT and CBT concepts, narrative techniques, and behavioral strategies in uniquely tailored ways for each individual.

This is a time of so much uncertainty and stress with a lot of anxiety and questions. I specialize in seeing young people ages 6 to 30 with anxiety, attention difficulties, and struggles to find their place in the social or academic world. I partner with many young adults as they navigate high academic or career pressure, dating (especially online,) life transitions, career changes, sexuality and gender exploration, faith/spirituality exploration, anxiety, depression, "perfectionism" and "people-pleasing." I especially have a heart for and interest in working with intellectually and/or artistically gifted folks.

The pursuit of one's therapeutic goals is a deeply personal endeavor, one that entails effort & time, to attain the self-awareness & profound insights needed to prompt the changes that promote happiness. I am keenly aware of the burden of trust inherent in my participation in so intimate & serious an undertaking & I appreciate your confidence in my clinical judgment to discern your needs & address them. You are my priority, so my methods are tailored to you. Respect for your values, reverence for your individuality and deference to your aspirations, guide our efforts, ennobling the realization of your goals with true contentment.

I deeply value marital and relationship fulfillment. If you are an adult seeking marriage, dating, premarital, affairs, or other adult relationship counseling, then we are likely to be a good fit for each other. Since 1987 I have focused as a psychologist full-time on developing and implementing specialized expertise in couples and other adult relationship counseling. Together we may assess in a friendly way what is happening in your relationship, how it developed to be this way, and what may be done to improve communication, build trust, strengthen emotional connections, enhance intimacy, and otherwise fulfill your relationship goals.

Are you tired of feeling depressed? Is anxiety stopping you from reaching your goals? Are you stressed out? Are you struggling with life's curve balls? Is your child or teenager angry, defiant, stressed, or depressed? Is your relationship an emotional roller-coaster? Do you struggle with managing your anger? If you answered yes to any of these questions, I would like to help you find a solution that meets your needs! Despite negative stigmas on counseling/therapy, admitting and addressing the issues is a start.

*Thank you for viewing my profile! At the moment I am not accepting new clients.* If you are searching for a therapist, you are likely experiencing a lot of frustration and confusion. The good news is you are not in this alone. You may want to work with me if you seek to increase self-esteem and self-love, to better understand and deal with overwhelming feelings, and to communicate openly and directly – even when it’s really tough. When you learn to manage difficult emotions and strained relationships, things seem to fall into place much easier. This frees you up to focus on living the best life possible.

It is no accident you are here. Very likely, you may be seeking answers to stop some form of addiction or because it feels as if your world is falling apart. Whatever the reason, we are here to help.
