The counseling process is unique to everyone. You have the freedom to feel vulnerable while exploring feelings and thoughts during sessions.

I hope you begin to see positive changes within yourself during this process. I believe therapy can be life changing and empowering.

"Did you know therapy is not about creating an absence of negative feelings, or conversely, about creating happy feelings. It's about helping you live a productive life and about helping you develop and sustain meaningful relationships. It’s also about learning and applying the skills needed to grow from life’s ups and downs." Dr. Neil Houston Therapy is about creating a healthy and balanced life. You have everything you need to create the life you want to live. You might feel powerless but you are not. You might feel hopeless but there is hope. When we are stuck in negativity it feels hopeless and as if change is not possible.
