Therapists in Katy, TX

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor that has over 5 years of experience working in the field. I have experience serving a variety of communities. I have worked with the LGBTQIA community, children, young adults, couples, the geriatric population, and those with disabilities. I have specific experience working with depression, anxiety, relationship conflict, mood disorders, grief, transitions in life, career development, ADHD, self-esteem, anger management, gender identity, and trauma.

As a Christian counselor, my desire is to create a safe, trusting environment for anyone seeking help and support. I sit with you knowing firsthand the desire to experience change, but not always knowing the path to take. It takes courage to reach out for help. My goal is for you to find an authentic, safe environment in order to explore new thoughts, ideas, and behaviors that can change the landscape of your relationships, your career, and your life. Your life and your story are important and they matter! I believe in the empowerment of the individual and affirm that there is always hope for change.

Life throws curve balls! Good and Bad! At some point, we all need assistance and support for the challenges and changes that occur in life. I believe pursuing counseling can be a difficult choice, but it's also a rewarding choice! Choosing to heal, grow, and find success truly pays off when it leads to increased satisfaction with self and improved relationships with others.

I have been practicing in this field for 10 years. I have experienced a vast range of cultures in different countries and society and I pride myself in multicultural practicing. I am grateful for my experiences good and bad that have led me to be the best husband, father, son, brother, relative, and friend I could possibly strive to be. I would love to be given the chance to do the same for you in a safe, non-judgmental space.

Learning to deal with depression, addiction, emotions, relationships, and other concerns can be overwhelming, but I believe everyone deserves to be heard and have the opportunity for restoration through. “I will praise the LORD who counsels me— even at night my conscience instructs me. I keep the LORD in mind always. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.” (Psalm 16:7-8 HCSB) My name is Penny Roberts, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor -Associate dedicated to supporting you, and walking with you, as we take this journey together.

Are you familiar with the lotus flower's remarkable ability to bloom in muddy waters? Just like the lotus, I believe everyone has the potential to thrive and lead an authentic life. I'm a dedicated holistic mental health and wellness advocate with extensive experience in clinical counseling. My goal is to facilitate your personal growth, allowing you to flourish in every aspect of your life.

Feelings of Trauma, Anxiety or Anger can be overcome with insightful, compassionate therapy. Do negative feelings get in the way of your happiness, personal strength, or peace of mind? Is your marriage or family life suffering? Have you tried different forms of therapy to overcome a past trauma? Or are you just trying to make sense of thoughts or feelings that keep you down? Unlike traditional therapy, Rapid Resolution Therapy (RRT) can offer positive results right away. RRT focuses on identifying and resolving the root causes of trauma or anxiety rather than just managing the symptoms.

Every day is a new battle, and you're just trying to make it through. It feels like you're carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders, and no matter how hard you try, you can't seem to make progress. You're constantly trying to catch up, but it feels like you're falling further behind. It's frustrating and exhausting, and taking a toll on your health and well-being. It's like you're running on empty, and there's nothing left to give. All you can do is keep going, even though you know it's not sustainable. Eventually, you'll hit a wall and collapse from the sheer force of it all. But until then, you'll just running on fumes.

I believe healing and thriving are rooted in feeling safely connected. I am dedicated to creating a supportive space where you can navigate difficult emotions and gain insight into your challenges. I provide a collaborative and culturally sensitive approach that integrates evidence-based modalities, including attachment-based therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and trauma-informed therapy.

Do you often feel weighed down by life's pressures or feelings of anxiety?” or, “If you find it difficult to make friends and experience loneliness regularly as a result, come talk to me. Together, we will work on strategies that allow you to address the root causes of your difficulties and build meaningful connections.”

Most enter into therapy feeling stressed, overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, and/or not good enough. It is painful and frustrating to not feel in control of your emotions. Negative thoughts make it hard to feel good about yourself, your relationships, and your outlook on life. I take a compassionate, warm, and direct approach by guiding clients past traditional talk therapy toward inner healing by utilizing evidenced-based modalities including EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS).

My ideal client would be someone who wants to learn about what they are feeling, why they might be feeling it, and how to cope with it. If that is you, then please continue to read about how I can help you.
