Therapists in Piney Point Village, Houston, TX

Hi, I'm Kate! I am a Marriage & Family Therapist, licensed in California, Colorado, Texas, and Florida. My goal as a therapist is to provide a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where you can share your experiences and enhance personal growth. Although we are not able to change the stories of our past, I believe we can learn from the behavior patterns that might be keeping us from moving forward. My approach to therapy begins by meeting you where you are, in the moment. You are the expert on your own life, and my goal is to provide a safe environment as you move toward change and growth in this journey.

As you have probably learned by now, life doesn't come with a road map. Life's journeys are uniquely individual! When you feel stuck, overwhelmed or seem to be going in circles, you've hit a boulder. Life transitions can be difficult, sometimes painful and tough to maneuver. They typically involve family relationships, career changes, peer interactions, or are related to loss, terminal illness, or caregiver responsibilities. Often, we experience feelings of anxiety, sadness, loneliness or fear; your not alone. Together, in a supportive, non-judgemental environment, we will explore and clarify these issues and underlying feelings.

LIFE can be difficult at times...and finding the right partner for your therapy & self care is important. There are many ways to address problems and concerns. Let's work together to help you enjoy a happier and healthier life, and increase your life satisfaction! If you are ready to grow, create change, and gain insight, I'm here for you.

Feeling overwhelmed? Ready to conquer life's challenges and embrace fulfillment? Experience 'Bempathy' - an innovative approach to mastering communication and social skills. This method combines banter and empathy, creating unique authentic engagement with people allowing people to: let their guard down, feel special, and personally engage with others. As a seasoned psychotherapist, author, and speaker with over 30 years of expertise, I've dedicated my life to helping individuals like you navigate life transitions, relationship issues, & personal growth. Let's collaborate for a better life.

The most gratifying aspect of my work is when I'm able to witness your attainment of a true sense of mental wellness and emotional stability, a state where you feel confident in your ability to face and cope effectively with your life challenges. I strive to create a supportive, caring, and nonjudgemental environment where you'll feel safe to thoroughly explore your concerns. As you progress through the therapeutic process, you'll gain awareness and insight into to your underlying core issues, witness your own personal growth, and feel empowered to bring about the changes that you desire.

Life can sometimes be complicated. Workplace stress, relationship challenges, financial difficulty and complicated family issues can become overwhelming, especially when you feel fatiqued, anxious, depressed, confused or alone. You may even begin to lose hope for the possibility of ever getting what you want and living a happy, productive life. A counselor can help you identify the root of the problems and develop steps toward their resolution. There is no reason to struggle through another day alone. Reach out for the support you need and we will work together to move you towards living the life you want to live.

Be inspired to transform your life in positive ways. I am a licensed Psychologist in private practice, with expertise in psychotherapy and clinical assessment. I offer a trusting and supportive professional environment, treating such issues as: anxiety, mood, depression, trauma, crisis, relationships, stress, personality issues and chronic health concerns. Having lived internationally and trained broadly, I have a unique perspective on how best to guide individuals, couples and families towards achieving lifelong well being. I view therapy as a supportive partnership, built on trust, professionalism and integrity.

We provide Individual and Couples Counseling, Sex Therapy, and Private Premarital Counseling services. The majority of clients that we see are couples and individuals experiencing personal and relationship difficulties, usually revolving around physical and sexual intimacy. Our therapeutic approach is brief and solution-oriented, meaning that while we do recognize the importance of how our clients' problems have come about, we place a higher value on offering our clients new and fresh solutions. We take into account what clients have tried in the past and help them to come up with changes that will be long-lasting and efficient.

Welcome to your transformative therapy journey. I blend an easy-going demeanor, humor, and a solution-oriented approach to nurture growth in each person I work with. My counseling style is built on empathy, respect, and compassion. Together, we will form a partnership that supports you through life's highs and lows. I will encourage you to explore new perspectives and enhance your personal development. It's not just about sessions; it's about forming a true partnership that supports you through both life's triumphs and challenges.

An authentic therapeutic relationship is one of the most significant pieces to effective therapy. My approach to therapy is warm and direct, and my practice is guided by an array of therapies and theoretical perspectives. Wherever you are in your life that's where we'll start. We will work together at a pace that feels safe, and as our relationship deepens so will the work we do. I am experienced in working with clients who have a variety of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship/ attachment issues, grief and loss, existential issues, and people who identify as highly sensitive (HSPs).

Often clients think, "We love each other, we just fight too much." "I need help learning how to communicate my emotions." "I want this relationship to work, I just don't know how to get over the affair. I want to trust again." Is this you? Are these words you've said? Are you living in fear and pain, and desperate to find your way back to your partner and to a relationship that feels healthy and fulfilling?

FREE consultations! Are you feeling stuck in negative thoughts, intense emotions, or behavioral patterns that don't serve your best interest? I believe the process of change through therapy should not only involve self-understanding and insight into the past, but beyond that it should also focus on helping clients to learn skills for present-time challenges. Therefore my approach helps clients to develop specific skills for thinking and acting in constructive ways. I am a proponent of therapist actively collaborating with a client to help him/her find ways to manage life better.

Throughout my many years of experience, I have seen many clients, each person with a unique set of circumstances to cope with. Anxiety and depression may factor into their life arc, some may be dealing with grief or past traumas, and others may have issues with their self-image. When assessing couples (I am both LPC and LMFT, so I frequently see clients with a variety of needs), I've noticed that the main issues that I offer assistance with tend to be communication issues that then lead to conflict. Clients that come to me actively want to improve their lives, and it is my pleasure to support them by meeting them where they are.

FREE consultations! Are you feeling stuck in negative thoughts, intense emotions, or behavioral patterns that don't serve your best interest? Are you hoping to build more meaning and joy in your life? You may feel hesitant about reaching out for help, especially with pressure from all directions to "have it all together". I'm here to join you on this journey to discover healing and build a balanced life.
