Therapists in Houston, TX

Who really gets you? Not feeling heard or appreciated? Lonely? Time to be bold? Change is hard and can be scary, but we change by taking one small step. That takes courage. Asking for help is really okay. I offer a caring and safe space in which you get to explore your emotional needs, overcome limiting and perfectionistic beliefs, and create a vision for a richer and more meaningful life. My approach to therapy is collaborative, holistic, non-authoritarian and respectful, and I take into consideration your relationships, family traditions, work life, cultural and spiritual beliefs, and social and sexual identities -- in short, your STORY!

Are you tired of the would of, could of, should of’s? Does it feel like you are in a vacuum that you cannot get out of? Let’s step out of what others want for us or told us how to live and start living our independent lives. Sometimes we get stuck on what has happened to us or too far into what we will do someday. Instead of living in the past or the future lets learn to be present and live right now. Let me help you begin to identify the red flags in life that prevents us from living the life that was intended. I will help you get back on the path to wholeness and wellbeing.

My name is Iesha Anderson. I was born and raised in Houston, TX and graduated from Prairie View A&M University. I also attended Texas Southern University with a Bachelors in Psychology. Academics were a very important part of my life. I realized at an early age that education was vital to my future success in life and the life of others. I have always had a passion for counseling and helping since the first day I sat in my psychology course during my journey in undergraduate school. My experience in Real Estate, taxes, customer service, and mental health has equipped me with the ability to relate and understand where others are coming from. I have always had a passion for special populations and was blessed to find a career that combined my love for both, families and individuals.

Are you feeling lost, stuck, maybe unsure of next steps in life? Are you in a relationship that feels overwhelming and stressful but not sure why? I am passionate about empowering you to be your own agent of change. From my innate interest in the human condition and respect for your unique story, I derive a empathic, client-centered and solution-focused therapeutic approach. Let's collaborate to identify and draw upon your strengths to achieve a sense of balance, fulfillment and purpose. I value the opportunity to work with client of various ages to navigate life and cultivate appropriate shifts to improve well-being.

Oftentimes, "counseling" has a negative connotation - counseling is for people who have something "wrong" with them, or it's for people too weak to handle their problems on their own. I don't buy that. We live in a hurried and difficult world. Pain and confusion seem to shadow us wherever we go. Sometimes our relationships slip. Sometimes we find ourselves puzzled about meaning and purpose. Sometimes we just need someone to help us make healthy choices. In my office here in Houston, you'll find therapy is confidential, safe, and solution-oriented.

You have it all. The job, the partner, the family. People are impressed with how you juggle it all, but you don’t like how you show up in each arena of your life. You never feel like you are fully there, fully yourself. You feel like you’re just “doing” things to keep up the facade of being a nice person. But it feels fake and unfulfilling. You are proud of what you have, but you aren’t proud of who you are being. Your life looks perfect from the outside, but on the inside, it feels off.

There are times in our lives that additional support is needed in order to traverse the ups and downs of life's transitions. I specialize in supporting you as you navigate through these life circumstances. In addition, I have an extensive background in serving clients with complex developmental trauma when a more concentrated approach is needed to succeed. If your goal is to make the most of your life and put self-defeating behaviors and thinking behind you, my approach is positive and forward-looking.

My philosophy on what makes an effectual clinician is deep compassion along with a strong ability to confront what a client can not see, doesn't want to see, or runs from, in a way that is digestible. This leads to transformational changes that are permanent and life changing. In my opinion, Carl Jung said it best, "Every defeat of the ego is a victory for the soul."

Specializing in relationships, my passion is to help you to build a healthy life style with your loved ones. I will help you to learn the very basics of your relational dynamics and understand the nature of your struggle as a person/couple so you can tackle your immediate issues, and prevent the future ones.
