Therapists in Houston, TX

As a psychologist with over 30 years experience, I have particular interest in working with individuals with mood disorders, anxiety disorders, college and work stress, phase of life issues, gay/lesbian struggles, marital/divorce problems and general relationship issues. My expertise has allowed me to be highly effective in quickly understanding the needs of my patients, to help facilitate an effective treatment plan. Generally, individuals begin to feel better with progress often seen after a few visits. The length of time spent in treatment will be mutually agreed upon, based on the presenting problem and its complexity.

I use a solution-focused and person-centered approach, and work best with people who enjoy finding creative solutions to what's bothering them. Most of my clients are interested in being goal-focused, constructing meaningful solutions, identifying appropriate community resources, and engaging in respectful and collaborative dialogue.

My typical clients are adults who have so much compassion and empathy for others but find it hard to extend that kindness to themselves. They often don't even realize how much they beat themselves up. They may be recovering from a toxic relationship with a spouse or a parent. They are trying to stop the endless stream of worries and panicked feelings. They want to set down the enormous weight of all those expectations. Mostly, my clients want to feel safe in their homes, communities, relationships, minds and their own bodies. Appointments available now. Schedule online at ChrisEatonLPC.com.

TODAY IS THE DAY YOUR SPOUSE DISCOVERED your pornography stash, payments made to massage parlors and prostitutes. Perhaps your MANAGER DISCOVERED you were VIEWING PORNOGRAPHY AT WORK or engaged in INAPPROPRIATE SEXUAL BEHAVIOR WITH CO-WORKERS. YOUR JOB MAY NOW BE AT RISK. Your life is in CRISIS. You may also be experiencing SUICIDAL THOUGHTS or have PANIC ATTACKS THAT YOUR WORLD IS COMING TO AN END. I can assure you YOUR WORLD IS NOT COMING TO AN END BUT YOU HAVE TO TAKE ACTION!

In addiction recovery, your biggest adversary is your own mind. Maybe you've asked yourself "why do I have such a strong intent for positive changes, but just as things start to improve I seem to change my mind?" It's the same experience for most of us in recovery; completely normal. Recovery support programs give you the tools you need to transform your life, but what's often missing are the skills needed to use those tools, and a healed nervous system that will allow it. A set of daily practices for both mind and body will change everything for you. Ask about HeartMath and the Safe and Sound Protocol for polyvagal toning!

My life mission has been to learn and understand the many different ways in which our unconscious mind controls our lives, and just as importantly, what to do about it. The fact is that for each and everyone of us, our own unconscious mind has developed and created mistaken and limiting beliefs about ourselves which limit us from reaching our full and complete potential and we are often not even aware of it. This process seems to be universal and reliable research shows that it begins in the very first weeks of life. This is why I focus on helping my clients to find approaches to change the way their own unconscious mind thinks.

Initiating therapy can be difficult. Even the first phone call can be very anxiety provoking. My goal is to help you discover changes that can lead to a better understanding of your life. Psychotherapy is a process that involves finding the real truth within one's self. With a compassionate approach we will be able to help understand the conscious and unconscious factors that are keeping you from enjoying healthy relationships, love, work, family and other life related experiences. I believe in being empathetic as well as mindful of clients during sessions so that you are able to achieve the goals that you want.

My clinical practice primarily involves working with individuals and couples who are navigating significant life transitions. These transitions may include the shift into adulthood, adjustments related to new career roles or positions, coping with serious injuries or illnesses, and managing complex or newly-formed relationships.

There are times when we experience a lack of emotional balance in our life, which can appear to be accompanied by stress, confusion, a sense of hopelessness or disconnection from families and friends. Challenging and sometimes scary, these moments provide a unique opportunity for self-discovery. My belief is that people have the potential to heal, reinvent themselves, and make meaningful life changes. I have learned through my own life experience how struggles can open a door into a deeper aspect of self, leading to a better understanding of what was missing.
