Therapists in Bellaire, TX

Have you ever told a "funny" childhood story and no one laughed? Do you wake-up angry or irritable and you don't know why? Or find yourself in the same relationships, job environments, and situations over and over again despite your best efforts to do something different? As a survivor myself, when trauma happens, surviving becomes essential. But what starts as a way to protect ourselves turns into a way of life. We find ourselves, operating on autopilot, "just getting by" in our spiritual lives, at our jobs, in our finances, and with our loved ones.

The goal of therapy is to empower you with insight, strength, knowledge and healing to make a difference in your own life! We all have the power to heal and with guidance and direction, it is possible. I want to offer hope to every person who comes through my door because that's what I believe! I utilize a variety of proven psychological techniques and have over 15 years of experience! In a calm and peaceful atmosphere, I will offer the insight and wisdom you need to find your way to a place of inner calm and serenity.

Hello! I am Dr. Reginald K. Riggins. I am licensed clinical psychologist based in Texas. I am originally from the south side of Chicago with over ten years of experience in the mental health space. Participating in therapy is the greatest investment you can ever make for yourself. When you learn how to improve your thinking, behavior and emotional well-being you create a better version of yourself. The process of healing is not easy but it is so worth it once you reach the mountain top, stare down and see how far you've come. It would be an honor to take that journey with you.

I am a psychotherapist who has been in private practice for 30 years. Because of the longevity of my work, I have encountered a wide variety of people of all ages and problems. I believe in the dignity and value of each individual person and treat people with empathy, compassion, warmth, and kindness. I give sustained attention during a session and believe that people can solve their own problems with some objective structure and feedback. For my clients' convenience I maintain two offices. Weekend and evening appointments are available.

Therapy is a powerful way of changing unhelpful patterns in our life and engaging in the process can help ease the dilemma of feeling stuck. In my work with clients I practice from a humanistic approach to understanding the person seeking treatment. My aim is to create connection through understanding and safety within the parameters of a secure therapeutic relationship to help stabilize crisis and facilitate emotional growth. I work with teens and adults, at different stages of development to help gain skills and insight into how internal conflicts may be playing out in life and relationships.

As an adult there comes a time when emotions can defy logic and we exceed our ability to reason through and remedy how we are feeling on our own. Similarly, there are times when even the most supportive parent can reach an impasse and need additional support for their child; especially when children are engaging in difficult, overwhelming and even triggering behaviors.

"All you need is twenty seconds of insane courage and I promise you, something great will come of it.” Here you are embracing that terrifying moment of courage. That's all it takes to completely change your life around. I have worked in every field of mental health, from inpatient hospitalization, to prison and jail settings, to community outreach and with experience using many theories as well as being trained in EMDR, I have seen and heard it all. I will help guide you through any challenge or obstacle that you are facing.

I help ambitious women gain clarity and empowerment through their mental health struggles. I work with the woman dealing with relationship issues, anxiety, trauma, and body image dissatisfaction. The truth is, I’m more like you than you can imagine. I know life can be hard. But that’s where courage comes in to attend therapy.

Have the events in your life started to impact your day to day decisions? Have your relationships started to feel off or are they disappearing all together? When we have experienced trauma, be them major trauma or smaller events, it can impact us in many ways. If you have experienced a trauma and have not been able to process the event (s) I am here for you. I work with clients who have had various types of trauma to reprocess and make sense these events so that they can regain control.

Have you or your child experienced something terrifying? Or perhaps there's not one harrowing memory that stands out, but a lifetime of painful experiences. Other times, children, teens, and adults may struggle with anxiety or worries that they can't trace back to any particular event. My practice offers a haven when life feels out of control and provides support for adults and children to heal from anxiety and trauma. I see Houston-based clients in person and via telehealth, and am credentialed through PSYPACT to provide telehealth to clients in 20+ other states.

Do things seem overwhelming? Are you uncertain? Do you have doubts? Does your mind torment you? Are you confused or even scared? Suffering? If so, you have found the right person. Things CAN get better. I am here to help you regain a sense of control over your life, build coping skills, and assist you in making the changes you desire. I would be honored to journey with you, offering you a safe space to tell your story and sustained compassion along the way.

I am committed to providing life changing solutions to my clients in an engaging, respectful, and supportive manner. Whether seeking assistance in coping with depression, anxiety, addiction, marital issues or grief and loss, the decision to seek psychotherapy is an important step on the path of meaningful change. I am trained and experienced in the use of several effective therapeutic techniques and am committed to tailoring my approach to each client's unique needs. My therapeutic style is centered in mutual collaboration, honest and open communication, and pragmatic approaches to dealing with issues.

I believe that the quality of our mind shapes the quality of our life. You can regain the freedom to choose how you feel and respond to challenges and difficulties while nurturing richer and happier relationships. My experience and training revolve around four major areas: anxiety, depression, trauma, and cancer. I know how to address your psychological distress with empathy and support, harnessing your strengths to master new coping skills. I view therapy as a collaborative effort and continually seek out feedback as to how treatment is progressing.

I desire to create a safe place for those in need of a listening ear and establish genuine connection and support. I have sat with clients who have experienced trauma related to domestic violence, sexual assault, childhood abuse, pregnancy loss, abortion and a host of other struggles that people have encountered. I consider it an honor to be able to sit with individuals during difficult moments and have them leave a little better than I found them.
