Therapists in Houston, TX

Hi! My name is Mikaella Chiriboga, and I’m so happy you’re ready to work on becoming the best version of yourself! During my time as a counselor, I have worked with a variety of clients and presenting concerns. My Hispanic background has also let me work with Spanish-only speaking clients. Individuals ranging in age from childhood to middle adulthood have sought support with me wanting to work on anxiety, depression, body image issues, identity exploration, sexuality, self-esteem, interpersonal relationships, trauma and life transitions. I especially love working with adults above the age of 18 who feel they could use extra support.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, depressed and/or anxious? Are you living your life to your full potential? Emotional pain puts a strain on all aspects of life. Allow me the opportunity to help you find meaning in your life, reconnect and better communicate with your loved ones, build confidence, manage your emotions, and reach your goals. My name is Katherine, I’m a bilingual therapist dedicated to empowering children, adolescents, and adults to reach their full potential. I have a particular passion for building wellness and healing among communities of color.

Hi! I specialize in working with men. Specifically Hispanic males who struggle with depression, grief, trauma & imposter syndrome. I’m physically based in the Tampa Bay Area, I'm licensed in FL, TX, VA, UT & CT. As the son of Salvadorean immigrant parents, I’ve seen how stigma keeps men from seeking counseling. It's why I’m an advocate for mens mental health. As a therapist who's been in therapy, I also know what its like to deal with stigma. Its why I strive to have a down to earth conversation, oftentimes while drinking some "cafecito" (In English that means coffee, preferably cafe bustelo).

Accepting new clients for evenings and weekends/EMAIL is the best way to contact me. - Maybe you’re feeling down, overwhelmed, anxious, stressed, or maybe you don’t have the words for what you are feeling. I believe everyone goes through challenges at one point or another – I am here to help you navigate through those challenges and support you showing up as your authentic self. I work with individuals, couples and families (chosen/blood).

We are here to support you! We are a group of compassionate, genuine, culturally sensitive & experienced therapists. We have created a space for everyone respecting "authentically" who you are with honour, respect & acceptance. We support all individuals and have a passion in working with our BIPOC, Hispanic, Latinx & Spanish speaking communities. We understand your challenges & can help to support you in changing the things that make you feel “stuck” in order to fully experience YOUR life! Our past can shape us, but doesn’t have to define who we are.

Do you ever catch yourself thinking "I'm going to mess up, what if I embarrass myself, I'm not good enough, or I feel stuck"? If so, you're not alone & don't have to carry this weight alone. Therapy can be a space where you can talk about tough moments like these & celebrate your accomplishments. You're the expert in your worldview & I can support you along your mental health journey. I've worked with 1st generation college students, adults (18-65 years), the Latinx & BIPOC community. Common themes we've explored include anxiety, depression, trauma, career readiness & relationship dynamics.

As we navigate our lives, we are faced with life transitions. These changes can trigger anxiety, depression or other feelings. Often transitions can challenge our existing belief systems, which in turn, cause confusion and feelings of distress. Having someone who can truly listen and understand these challenges often helps us find our way to a more satisfying life. Sorting through the clutter of our lives and zeroing in on our true selves can help us optimize our happiness and contentment. Living a life in which we thrive not merely survive. In a highly confidential environment, we start wherever you feel comfortable.

My passion is to provide clinically excellent and distinctively Christian counseling for individuals who desire to incorporate spirituality within their therapeutic experience. I work with a wide variety of clients, including children & teens, individuals, and couples/families. Three groups of clients I especially enjoy working with are children & teens, women dealing with women's health issues (infertility, prenatal/postpartum issues, hormone imbalance, parenting, etc.), and providing support for pastoral health and sustainability in ministry for pastors, their wives, and their children.

An ideal client would be an individual seeking to prioritize and proactively engage in managing their mental health. Life’s challenges and successes alike, often see their best outcomes when we are at our best mentally, physically, spiritually and emotionally. Engaging with us can help you reach pressing life goals, mend broken relationships, understand yourself in transformative ways and so much more that will supplement your wellbeing.

You’ve heard of unconditional positive regard, but have you ever felt it? At times, it can feel that you give and give to others, but you have nothing left for yourself. Whether you would like to explore your true authentic self or break generational cycles that do not serve you – I am here to walk with you on this journey. If you would like to explore how to heal from intergenerational trauma or hone your existing coping skills and expand them, lets connect. My approach is affirming and based in cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR.

I provide telehealth (video) counseling in English and Portuguese to adults suffering with: depression, anxiety, panic, social phobia, obsessions and compulsions, and struggles with relationships, perfectionism and career. Please understand that the success of the therapy is highly correlated to your ability to engage in the process. While having a rapport will provide a safe environment for you to express your challenges, in most cases, this is not enough. It requires your active participation in understanding how the mind works, where emotions come from and your behavioral choices.

I chose to become a mental health professional because I myself have had many life experiences that have required me to pivot when things just weren't working. So I get it and I've put in the work to make the changes I needed to in order to have a more fruitful life! I will serve you with the utmost professionalism, genuineness, sincerity, and respect. Do you often find yourself struggling with the weight of the world on your shoulders? Are you at a crossroads and unsure where to turn? Are you struggling in a relationship and unsure how to communicate with your partner? If so, I can help!

I'm licensed in TX/CA/NY/FL and I am a Doctor of Marriage and Family Therapy/Certified Sex Therapist/Author of "The 4 Intimacy Styles" and "The Dr. Viviana Method for Intimate Reconnection" (online program for couples). My therapeutic approach is brief and solution-oriented, so I do recognize the importance of how my clients' problems have come about, but I place a higher value on offering my clients new and fresh solutions. I take into account what clients have tried in the past and help them to come up with changes that will be long-lasting and efficient.

Welcome! As a therapist, my commitment rests in aiding individuals and couples face their challenges while discovering their inner strengths. My therapeutic approach merges concepts of Systems Theory with methodologies of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to assist clients in understanding how their thoughts and behaviors are influenced by their interactions within various systems. My expertise lies in addressing conditions such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, and relationship conflicts. I strive to create an environment characterized by safety and support, fostering an avenue for healing and personal development.

Life can be hard and sometimes have some twists and turns that weren't planned. Maybe you just found out that having a child the way you envision is not going to happen. Or maybe you feel alone and sad with this new baby in your home, almost like you don't know who you are anymore. I understand that taking the first step to come to a therapy session can be nerve wracking and uncomfortable since you don't know me yet, but I hope that in time you can feel that this is a safe space for you to open up and share.

Finding the right therapist is no easy task. It can even feel impossible when you're looking for someone that understands your life experiences and acknowledges & respects your culture and background. I have worked with clients from varying backgrounds struggling with anxiety, self-esteem, trauma, and life transitions. My passion is working with women dealing with issues related to self-worth, relationships & boundaries in order to empower, strengthen self-awareness and instill positive self-concept. I also love working with teens and young adults struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, and adjusting to life changes.

Are you an adolescent or young adult or have an adolescent in your life currently struggling with interpersonal relationships, anxiety, depression, suicide ideation, ADHD and/or Conduct Disorders? I have worked as an educator for 13 years and have helped adolescents going through life transitions or events. I can help with big feelings. I also help parents and families.

At my core, it is my belief that the most important part of counseling is the rapport and trust that we build in the relationship together on this journey.
