As human beings, we tend to feel overwhelmed with the unbalancing of life. That can look like stress, anxiety, pressure from family or peers. You are not alone. The first step in overcoming is to acknowledge. With you here, you have completed step one. That in itself is a great step forward!

Mor Regev
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW, MST
Verified
My goal is to help you figure out what's really going on to help you get unstuck using cognitive, dialectical,
mindfulness
, and trauma-informed therapies.
I imagine if you're here, it's because you're hurting. Things aren't going the way you want them to: Maybe your marriage or relationship isn't bringing you the joy it used to, or maybe it's driving you downright nuts. Maybe you aren't speaking to your kids, or maybe you are the kid or teen that just can't seem to get along with your parents or the people around you. Maybe things have gotten so bad that you've contemplated hurting yourself or suicide. Perhaps you're grieving a loss, a person, a job, a relationship. Or maybe you've tried to figure out why you're not as happy as you could be and you just can't.
Nida Pirani
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Verified
My work is influenced by Internal Family Systems (IFS) and I am also trained in CBT, DBT and
Mindfulness
based techniques.
Are you a teen or young adult who overthinks, worries too much, has difficulty focusing because of stress, or fears you're falling behind? Do college, choosing a career path, managing relationships or life transitions feel overwhelming? The pressure to be attractive, fit in, feel understood, earn top grades, and get into the best schools are hard on teens. Choosing a career path, interviewing, living on your own or supporting yourself, or making big relationship decisions can feel scary as a young adult. You don’t have to go this alone. I help people just like you through these challenges.

In a spirit of holistic approach to tending to body, mind and soul, we can supplement therapy with
mindfulness
, yoga, tarot and astrology.
Immediate Opening. You are here because your pain is unbearable, and you know that you cannot cope along anymore. You are tired of waking night after night feeling anxious and alone. You are too exhausted to pretend that everything is fine while overwhelmed by hopeless and fear. Ironically, people might envy you and think that you have "everything together" while inside you are falling apart. Outside appearances do not matter anymore. You feel you cannot go on just dragging though empty days and suffering through sleepless nights. You know that your time on earth is limited and ready to start living your Authentic Best Life now!

Verified
I also promote
mindfulness
and self-care and especially enjoy practicing Family Systems Therapy.
Many of us struggle with the fear of letting go...of something. It can be a frightening process and you may feel hopeless and helpless at times. However, the empowerment that can be gained by letting go and ridding yourself of negative thoughts can be truly life changing. It may be hard, but my role is to help you reach your personal goals. Counseling is my second career. In the earlier part of my life, I earned an MBA and spent 10 years working in international sales and marketing. I was moved to begin a new career helping other people after counseling personally turned my life around and provided me with balance and peace.

Mary Kennington
Psychologist, PhD
Verified
My therapy practice places a very strong emphasis on cognitive-behavioral skills, in addition to EMDR, emotional regulation methods,
mindfulness
, and physiological soothing strategies.
Cognitive therapy is the process of working together to create a strong foundation for both emotional well-being and life. Core building blocks for a solid foundation include changing distorted thoughts, altering irrational behaviors, learning physiological soothing skills (such as meditation and HRV breathing) and using methods of emotional regulation. It is also essential for a person to learn to embrace a sense of unconditional worth, to grow a sense of purpose, and to live by one's values/virtues. CBT is less about searching for insight and more about practicing strong habits, that over time, lead to deep satisfaction.

Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, EdM
Verified
I use several evidenced based therapeutic modalities which include psychoanalysis, psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectic behavioral therapy (DBT), humanistic and existential therapy,
mindfulness
, meditation, breath work and hypnotherapy.
As a therapist I am dedicated to helping my clients improve their lives and achieve self-transformation. This includes learning to cope, manage, overcome and ultimately transcend mental health issues. My work focuses on helping clients engage in self exploration/reflection, develop self-compassion and empowerment, build emotional resiliency, reshape life narrative, and gain mastery over thoughts, feelings, emotions, behaviors and life experiences. I believe each individual is capable of healing psychological wounds, and can find their effortless action.

Top of the Morning Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor, MEd, LPC, LCDC
Verified
My practice integrates multi-discipline modalities: Prolonged Exposure; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy,
Mindfulness
Therapy, Behavior Activation Therapy and Motivational Interviewing Therapy.
My use of the phrase “Top of the Morning” greeting began in my days in the operating rooms of the Houston Medical Center some twenty years ago. It was a break away from the traditional greetings. This gave birth to the idea we can begin every day over if we are willing to change. "Top of the Morning" greets you with a sense of hope. My practice invites you to an holistic, mind, body and spirit approach to therapy. Together, we can build a safe, confidential, and responsible client therapist relationship.
Lindsey E Knott
Psychologist, MA, PhD
Verified
My approach is warm and interpersonally focused, using
mindfulness
and acceptance based techniques to help you engage in life in the most fulfilling and authentic way.
If you're feeling stuck in life, worn down by anxiety or obsessions, or avoiding what used to bring you joy, you may feel ready to give up. You've tried everything you can think of to get rid of your anxiety. You don't need another person in your life to tell you "just relax" or suggest "just do X more." What you want is to be deeply understood for your experience, to be uplifted, and to get help to pursue a fulfilling life. And what you need is a therapists who offers an evidence-based treatment that not only works, but is individually designed to work for you. I may be able to help.

Houston Counseling Affiliates, PLLC
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MSW, LCSW-S
Verified
Mindfulness
principles are central in my work with clients.
Feeling overwhelmed? Mentally exhausted? Stuck? Disconnected from your true self or in your relationships? While these feelings can be brought on by a myriad of causes such a recent stressful event, grief, depression, or anxiety, one thing is certain. When we are bogged down by these emotions, we often are not showing up for ourselves or others the way we would like to. Author Jeanette Winterson eloquently states “The body shuts down when it has too much to bear; goes it’s own way quietly inside, waiting for a better time. Leaving you numb and half alive.” If you can relate, schedule an appointment today and let’s talk.

Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists
For clients in Houston with chronic pain, hypertension, heart disease, cancer, and other health issues such as anxiety and depression, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, or MBCT, is a two-part therapy that aims to reduce stress, manage pain, and embrace the freedom to respond to situations by choice. MCBT blends two disciplines--cognitive therapy and mindfulness. Mindfulness helps by reflecting on moments and thoughts without passing judgment. MBCT clients pay close attention to their feelings to reach an objective mindset, thus viewing and combating life's unpleasant occurrences.
Mindfulness Based therapists in Houston can help with issues like anxiety and depression in their role as Houston MBCT therapists.
