Therapists in Houston, TX

I am Katia Flores and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor located in Houston, Texas. I have experience working in private practice and residential settings, providing counseling in English and Spanish. Much of my experience has been working with populations that are part of underrepresented communities with trauma and cultural adjustment issues. I also have experience working with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, emotional issues, stress management, and wellness.

I prefer a psychoanalytic approach to therapy. I believe in tailoring the therapeutic process to meet the needs of the individual patient.

When I was younger, I was given a bookmark with a Leonard Cohen quote saying “There is a crack in everything. That’s how the light gets in.” I feel like this embodies how I view therapy. My goal always is to make meaning out of pain and help you understand how it has molded you into the person you are today. You take the lead as the expert on yourself. I am simply here to help with directions.

During your alone time you think of yourself as unique...different from others around you. There is no question you are highly intelligent with a keen sense of what is happening in the world. Although few people seem to notice, you work hard for yourself and even harder for others. You move through life always making room for someone else despite feeling misunderstood, ignored, and frustrated. Hi, I am Dr. Paula Trammell Harris, founder of Shift Behavioral Health, LLC (SHIFT).

I thoroughly enjoy working with individuals across the lifespan and creating a space to communicate and express their needs in a way that is comfortable and developmentally appropriate. I believe people are individualistic and will relate to and engage in therapy in different modalities which we will explore throughout our time together. My goal is to provide a space that is welcoming and non-judgemental for clients to share, process, feel heard and supported through the many different aspects of life.

*I see clients both virtually and in person.* I want to help you attain your goals and create a happier and more balanced life. I offer a safe and non-judgmental environment to enable you to freely talk and explore your feelings.

I work with individuals, couples, and families who are struggling with important transitions in their lives, such as the transition to adulthood, a new career or position, a serious injury or illness, or a new or newly-complicated relationship.

Life is a journey that is often easier to travel with a guide. If you are struggling with relationships, depression, anxiety, trauma, or addiction, the process of acceptance and change can be difficult and you do not have to face it alone. I believe passionately that therapy can help you identify your strengths and cope with life's complex challenges. My goal is to listen, be supportive, and help you discover a path that will make your life better, regardless of where you are in your journey.

Hello, there! I appreciate whole-person healing that addresses the mind, body, and soul. I believe that we are meant to live full, authentic lives. However, trauma, harm, and wounds can leave us feeling fragmented and stuck. I highly value connection with others in my life, which carries over into my counseling as I desire to create a safe, welcoming space for clients to show up as they are without fear of judgment. I am passionate about working with adults and children of all ages, as well as families from all walks of life, and witnessing their growth and development of self-confidence, grace, compassion, and emotional expression.

Sometimes life can be overwhelming and chaotic; it can feel exhausting and more than we can handle alone. My goal is to listen, empower, inspire growth, and promote mental health healing while facilitating cognitive introspection in order to help you develop the necessary tools for a healthier social-emotional life.

Imagine waking up every morning feeling like you can take on the world. How great does that feel? There is something empowering about feeling completely seen and heard and being met with empathy and understanding. Finding a therapist you are comfortable with is vital to successful treatment and during your free consultation we will briefly discuss your concerns and identify what topics you would like to focus on while in treatment and decide if my therapy style works best for you. My counseling style is always open, highly interactive, and positive.

Psychotherapy can be one of the best ways to cope with emotional, psychological discomforts. A therapist office provides a safe, quite places to discuss any concerns: relationships, separation, the death of a loved one, infidelity, bereavement or work stress, issues than can lead to anger, loneliness, anxiety or depression. Dealing with emotional conflicts by one self can be overwhelming. I have over ten years of experiences working with a wide variety of clients. My expertice includes treatment of relationships issues, abandonment, sexual abuse, low self-esteem, depression, adjustment, grief and loss. During our sessions we will work together through your concerns to reach therapeutic answers.

Don't settle for a generic psychiatrist for drug or alcohol issues. You deserve help that actually helps you feel happy again. (And, that's in-network with your insurance).
