Therapists in Downtown, Houston, TX

So many clients tell me about their negative experiences with past therapists, who "just listened" and "didn't really show me how to make anything better." Well...I want you to feel you've actually gotten useful skills to improve your situation. I often work with clients with a range of problems and concerns, although I specialize in work with the LGBTQ+ community. I have extensive experience in individual therapy, couples therapy and group therapy.

Self-care is often a struggle when we consistently are juggling the daily challenges of life. It can be hard to stop and prioritize your emotional health when it's not part of your routine.

My name is Elvira Aleman Vaughan. I am a Christian counselor who works with adults who have depression/anxiety. If you prefer talk therapy I'll use CBT to help you get to the root of the issue. Or if you are open to trying a proven technique that is less conventional, I will use EMDR to help you heal and move forward.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I believe a person's mental health is impacted by many variables. During my six years in practice it's been my mission to assist with creating healthy alignments between those variables. I have a general practice, but I specialize in individuals going through life transitions such as relocating, relationships, employment etc. Therapy can be used as a guiding tool to release, recover, and take a much-needed step forward. To help my clients achieve these goals, I create a warm, authentic, and safe environment that allows for a fulfilling journey.

Hello, I'm Beatriz, Do you ever feel like you second guess yourself a lot? Do you ever wonder when that started or where that comes from? Are you afraid that your choices will go against cultural traditions and family believes? I help individuals find their courage to start living the live that they really want for themselves. It's not easy, it takes practice, time, patience, and at times taking a little deeper look into our fears. Together we will explore fears, difficult decisions, and at times things you might have been avoiding. Through motivational interviewing, we will explore what are your goals while in therapy.

My hope is to create a space where you feel heard and seen and where you can openly share your about yourself. I understand how overwhelming certain emotions or situations can be or how discouraging it can be to feel stuck. After I get to know more about what brings you to counseling and about you, we will be exploring what your priorities are and creating a plan that focuses on the goals that you would want to accomplish. I hope to aid you in thinking on solutions from a different perspective and providing you with additional skills and tools that fit your personality and address what you share with me.

Meet Our Therapists

Hi there! I'm a transgender Licensed Professional Counselor (Texas) and EMDR practitioner who specializes in treating attachment wounding and complex trauma for adult LGBQT+ cllents. There are so many parts to our experience: Trauma that’s related to our families-of-origin (for many of us, our families were our first abusers); anxiety, perfectionism, and masking that comes with trying to prove our worth in the world; spiritual trauma from histories with shame-based religious systems; abusive or exploitative relationships, losses that we never had skills to address. The worst abuse is often what we've done to ourselves.
