Therapists in Houston, TX

My work is focused on helping Moms and Dads who are seeking ways to improve and navigate their own personal struggles as they raise their children while juggling many roles. When my clients first come to me, they feel a shift in their child's attitude and behaviors as they also experience changes in their life. What worked in a different generation doesn't necessarily work now.

My passion is working with women and girls, helping them to see their own unique beauty, understand their worth, and understand the importance of creating a vision for their lives. My specialties include but are not limited to women’s issues, trauma and depression. My experience has included working with clients in community mental health, correctional settings, and the adult and juvenile justice systems. These experiences have provided me with the tools needed to work with a broad range of issues and with persons from diverse backgrounds and challenging circumstances.

I see therapy as a collaborative effort. Two humans with different backgrounds, experiences, perspectives, and beliefs work together to establish a direction for therapy that aligns with the client’s goals and evolving needs. This approach is most successful when both parties engage in sessions genuinely and authentically. Unfortunately, our society can be threatening to people as they step outside their social roles and into their authentic selves, making feelings of safety difficult to access. Consequently, I am committed to fostering a therapeutic environment that allows for open communication, trust, exploration, and growth.

The pressure of being a woman in today’s society can be challenging, even for the most successful. The idea that we have to “do it all” in order to “have it all” can be overwhelming. Each stage of a woman's life can present a different set of challenges. Are you struggling as you are entering into adulthood or find retirement to be a challenge? Somewhere in-between? Do you feel guilty because you chose a career over a family, or a family over a career? Maybe you chose both but feel you are not living up to your or everyone else's expectations? Do you feel like part of your life is missing but you are not sure how to find it?

I am the life coach for therapists, healers, seekers, & dreamers. NO big Package by-ins--have 1 session at a time with no commitment--and I'll happily give referrals if I'm not the right healer for you. Good fits? Previous therapy experience, already has some understanding of personal 'stuck points' and want guidance, support, mentorship, & 'how-to' tools to live balanced, fulfilled, peaceful. Life is hard enough--easier with emotionally effective tools and strategies. I think my best work is in teaching people from difficult backgrounds how to fully, deeply, love and heal themselves, to get out of survival mode and into LIVING.

Whatever your reason for seeking out therapy, I am dedicated to helping you find your way to improve your mental health. I believe that every single human being has a bit of healing to do. Improving your self-awareness and your outlook on troubling situations are just two ways therapy can dramatically change your life.

Asking for help can be difficult, but is a sure sign of strength. Finding the right therapist is the first step in getting the help you need. If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, substance abuse/addiction, or trauma related issues, or are having trouble managing your emotions and relationships, I can help. I have just short of twenty years experience collaborating with clients to find solutions for areas of difficulty in their life as well as helping them identify and cultivate their own strengths. I am eager to meet with you to develop your own, unique treatment plan.

Welcome! My name is Colleen Christie and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Texas. With 29 years of experience, my primary focus of my practice is relationship issues including break-ups, divorce, couples therapy, toxic relationships and even "lack of relationship" issues. I also treat disorders that are frequently the consequences of difficult personal/family relationships including grief, anxiety, poor self-esteem, depression and trauma. I mostly utilize a systems and existential approach to therapy, but use multiple modalities based on the needs of my client.

I emphasize the connection between a healthy mind, a healthy body, and a healthy life. My primary focus is helping clients build a fulfilling life based on their personal values & goals. I work with adolescents, adults, parents, and families with a variety of challenges including self-harm & suicidal behaviors, grief, stress, ADHD, mood (depression disorder), anxiety, relationship issues, and substance use disorders. I also specialize in educational psychology and provide consulting. My style is collaborative, compassionate, and holistic; as well as evidence based, meaning I use treatments that have been supported by research.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, depressed and/or anxious? Are you living your life to your full potential? Emotional pain puts a strain on all aspects of life. Allow me the opportunity to help you find meaning in your life, reconnect and better communicate with your loved ones, build confidence, manage your emotions, and reach your goals.

My passion is working with children, adolescents, adults, and couples. My goal is to foster a safe environment for all my clients to explore feelings and emotions that have been creating distress. With younger children, I understand that it may be harder to communicate their feelings with words and play therapy can be used to more effectively explore their thoughts. My hope is to create a therapeutic relationship to guide the client toward positive coping skills and start leading more enriching lives. I believe that each client has the ability and the capacity within themselves to become empowered and thrive.

Every person can use guidance at some point in their life. Seeking therapy is not a sign of weakness but of self-awareness. As a therapist, I treat each of my clients with the utmost level of respect and dignity. It is my goal to create an environment in which each client feels unconditionally heard. I uphold an ethical and confidential practice that revolves around improving the quality of the life of each client. I aim to help you grow in confidence, self-awareness, and balance and to help you in developing healthy coping skills, self-exploration, re-orienting the way you think, and setting healthy boundaries.
