Education and Learning Disabilities Therapists in Houston, TX

I am an experienced Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor dedicated to helping children, teens/young adults and families who struggle with learning differences, attention deficit, anxiety and school avoidance concerns. Most of my clients are trying to determine “what’s next.” Specifically, whether to go to college or not, what career path to take, or whether this is the best relationship to be in at this time. And with these decisions come anxiety, leaving the parents’ nest, being independent in some ways but dependent financially, and more.

Hi! Welcome! I am a Bilingual Therapist and School Psychologist. My name is I am Adriana Villarreal (supervised by Dr. Cheryl Ivory) I provide therapy, counseling, special education advocacy consultation and representation for parents as well as psychological testing.

So many people bombard us with cliches like “Life is what you make it” or “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade,” when the unexpected happens or we lose control of situations and ourselves. Not only does this usually make us feel worse and/or not heard, we usually do not know what those sayings even mean. I’m sure people typically mean well when using these phrases, however, we need practical remedies to the “cards we were dealt” in our personal lives. It’s rare that the average person listens to us, validates us, AND helps us process what’s happening so that we can wholeheartedly move on.

I have worked in private practice, university clinics, and hospital settings across the country including Lucille Packard Children's Stanford and Texas Children's Hospital.

I specialize in working with women with Post Partum Depression, Adoption, and Infertility, couples, and family counseling. I completed training with Bo's Place. I was awarded graduate fellowship in Distress Screening from Yale University .

Do emotions feel like a roller coaster, with sudden or big ups & downs? Do you want to better understand yourself or your feelings? Do you feel haunted by past events?

Whether you're an adolescent or adult with these experience or a parent wanting to learn how to support your child through these difficult experiences, I'd love to help.

My practice is primarily family therapy where multiple family members participate. The majority of the families I work with have at least one, if not many, of the following diagnoses: AD/HD, oppositional defiant disorder, selective mutism, learning disorders (dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, pragmatic communication, etc), social communication disorder, autism, anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, and/or bipolar disorder. I actively use Accelerated Resolution Therapy(ART) to help people gain relief from trauma and persistent unwanted thoughts. I also offer comprehensive reports for social security applications.

Being unique, having your own story to tell, and learning to navigate life is a part of our journey. Therapy can help with navigating these life changes as we grow, adapt, revert, thrive, and survive.

I enjoy the process of helping my clients, besides my vocation, it is my passion and I have been in the social work field for more than a decade. Through online therapy I have had the opportunity to help people both near and far from me. It's time that the fact of going to therapy stopped being stigmatized, so one of my goals is that the client feels comfortable during the process. Telling how we feel does not make us weak, on the contrary, it is the first and most important step to feel better, that is why at One Alkaline Life we have always focused on offering you the best to accompany you in your learning process.

I have spent the past 40 years evaluating and treating children and adults with ADHD symptoms.

Life is tough. Let’s talk about it. We will make some goals, and get you back on track to living your best life where therapy is no longer needed.

Come with confusion and leave with clarity. I believe in the transformative power of self-awareness and position myself as a compassionate guide on your wellness journey.

I want to help you name those barriers, give yourself empathy, and strategize around overcoming them! You'll walk away with deeper understanding and coping strategies for long-term wellness maintenance.

Hello. I am Tammy. I recently retired from school counseling. As a counselor in public schools, I have experience with children of ages 5-12. Although I have worked with children in the schools for 29 years and they are near and dear to my heart, I welcome a chance to also be able to counsel adults in private practice. Throughout the years I have noticed that the counselor and client relationship of trust and support favorably contributes to success.
