Emotionally Focused Therapists in Spring, TX

We all struggle with the ups and downs of life. My passion is working with children (ages 3 and older) and families to promote healthy and happy individuals and relationships. I hope to help my clients enhance their own individual strengths, better their relationships with others, and enjoy the most out of everyday interactions and experiences. Solution Focused and Attachment-Based therapy are the primary approaches I utilize in treating clients. As human beings, I believe we are wired to connect with others and that individual change and healing influences relational change and healing.

I’m Positive Psychology focused, believing that people tend to live up to your view of them. LGBTQ & sex worker friendly. I understand & I am comfortable working with the complexities of modern relationships. I teach a highly effective Emotion Regulation program. I do Only TeleHealth = sessions by video. To schedule, please email me your name, phone & email address where you'd like to receive your appointment reminders. You'll be set up in (and receive an email from) my client portal. You then go to that and complete paperwork, upload insurance info., and click on the Calendar tab to request your appointments.

If you're struggling, a skilled counselor can help. I'm a psychologist in the Woodlands whose main focus is on couples therapy for couples in trouble and child counseling for parents worried about their child. I also provide counseling if you're suffering from depression, post-partum depression, infertility or a pregnancy loss. If you're looking for a couples therapist, you've probably tried to improve your relationship without success. You're frustrated and discouraged. I use one of the most effective methods of marriage counseling called, Emotion Focused Couples Therapy ( EFT ). EFT can help resolve conflict and deepen your bond.

Seeking counseling can be intimidating and I work hard to make it as comfortable as possible. Rest assured, progress can be made, relationships can heal, and families can be functional again. I am skilled at helping clients heal hurts, process conflict, set boundaries, and build closeness. I have extensive training in a variety of therapies including Gottman Method Couple Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and other research-based tools. I focus on client's needs and work to find solutions for their concerns.

I am most passionate about helping strengthen couples as the foundation for the family and helping adult clients flourish through Christ-centered couple's and mental health therapy to achieve their God-given purpose. Particularly important for couples therapy is understanding that your relationship is the client; and I am passionate about strengthening the client. I will listen carefully with compassion, allowing each individual a voice and I WILL NOT take sides. I'm on the side of your relationship and here to help each person take ownership of it, draw upon its inner resources and rediscover its goals and purpose.

My name is Mikayla Williams, and I am the founder of MMCC. We know it's hard to be vulnerable with a new person, not knowing how they’ll react to what you tell them. As counselors, our role is to meet you where you’re at, take your hand, and walk with you at your own pace out of the gutter. We are passionate for holistic, mindfulness mental health counseling for kids, teens, couples, and adults in areas including trauma, domestic violence and sexual assault victims and survivors, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, codependency, self-esteem, identity, self-harming behaviors, relationships, parenting, and reclaiming control of life.

Are you ready to end the toxic communication in your relationship? Are you ready to heal from the past hurts that have kept your relationship at a standstill? Not feeling heard or understood by your partner? Are you feeling stuck due to the constant back and forth about what was said, how it was said, and/or how your feelings are valid? We are ready to help your relationship get unstuck and start communicating your feelings effectively.

While my therapeutic style calls upon several well established and effective counseling approaches, my main focus is on interpersonal relationships. My passion is to guide my clients on a journey to discover inner strengths and to develop positive patterns of interaction. I am a professional counselor and a marriage and family therapist that loves working with families. All aspects of family life and members of the family (individuals, couples, single parents, entire families, and blended families) are of interest to me. I know that what affects one person in the family affects all members of the family.

I'm ready to offer a warm and accepting environment where you feel comfortable. My passion is to connect with others and genuinely "see" them for who they are and meet them where they are in life. If you are struggling with the relationships in your life, such as your spouse, parents, children, in-laws, siblings, or friendships, we can work together toward more safety, boundaries, reconnection or better communication in these relationships.

After an 8-year career in public relations, I was called to the helping profession and received my master's in social work in 2011. Since then, I have been called a "fierce advocate" and "impassioned counselor" by my clients and colleagues. I have served as a therapist in medical/trauma and psychiatric hospitals, intensive outpatient programs (IOPs), in community health and in schools.

The single most important issue for traumatized people is to find a sense of safety in their own bodies- Dr. Bessel van Der Kolk. As your therapist, I meet you where you currently are and assist you in discovering and exploring your truth. I always maintain a safe space so that you feel comfortable with addressing current obstacles and challenges in your life. In every session, I find a way to assist you with releasing unhealthy beliefs and unwanted behaviors through open dialogue, empty chair, experiential activities, and somatic therapy.

Finding happiness in your life and creative solutions to your most challenging problems may not be as hard as you think. You have already made the first step, by looking for the right therapist for you. During your first session I will help you identify the goals you would like to accomplish and help you develop a personalized treatment plan. In the following sessions you will work toward achieving these goals.

How many times have you thought about going to counseling only to say to yourself"I'll be fine, there's nothing wrong with me, this will pass"? Me too, until it was obvious I wasn't fine, there was something wrong and it wasn't going to pass. It is a scary proposition to sit down with a complete stranger and tell them your innermost thoughts and emotions. I believe that most of us know where we are and where we want to be, but sometimes understanding what got us where we are and how we are going to get where we want to be are not so clear. I can help you get where you want to be. It isn't always easy, but it is worth it.

NO EVENING APPOINTMENTS AVAILABLE. Have you been feeling anxious, depressed, or stuck? Are you experiencing some life changes and are struggling to cope? People come to therapy for many different reasons and I would love to work with you and help you move forward. We can work on adding to your toolbox so that you can overcome whatever challenges or changes come your way. I can guarantee a non-judgmental, safe space for us to speak openly about your concerns. We will use a variety of techniques including CBT, grounding, mindfulness, EMDR, and others to help you achieve your goals. I respond best/quickest to email.

Life can be overwhelming as we maneuver through difficult life transitions and encounter painful events. Challenging situations can bring-up strong emotions, distorted thoughts, negative behaviors, and destructive core beliefs that may become unmanageable and negatively impact your life. The way you have coped in the past may no longer be working and you may be unsure how to move forward. I believe that we all have the power to heal within ourselves. Change can be difficult, but we can work to figure out your next steps towards your goals.

Are you struggling day to day to stay motivated? Are anxious thoughts keeping you from living your best life? Let’s talk! Together we will identify issues that may be causing persistent negative feelings and behaviors. If you are ready to embrace healthy ways to handle stress and anxiety, learn ways to strengthen your couples communication, cope with parenting struggles, and/or your child’s behavior give me a call or text anytime 281-536-9223. I look forward to meeting you! Weekend and evening appointment times are available.

Two words: life happens! Therapy helps us live more purposeful, self-aware lives. There is nothing sweeter, to me, than healing trauma and breaking chains. Trauma seeps through many aspects of our lives, and if we're not careful, can drastically alter our response to the world around us. It is important to move toward existing in the world the way we choose to exist, not what's projected onto us. Also, life happens in the context of relationships; therefore, couples therapy sets my soul ablaze. Couples seeking to grow or overcome obstacles is incredibly intimate work. I am honored to walk alongside and help heal your covenant.

Being a parent is hard. Being a Christian parent, to a hurting child, in a secular world, is even harder. Your child, or even you, may be struggling with anxiety or other mental health or behavioral concerns. You want your child to talk to you and tell you how they're feeling. You want to know what to say to comfort them and what to do when they're in a crisis. You want answers to all the questions swirling in your head and heart right now. I can help you answer them by teaching you about powerful, prayerful parenting.

The challenges that find you researching therapists are to be embraced. Those challenges are sending you a powerful message that something about your life, your relationships or your child's behavior is no longer working. Change is already taking place within you, and HOPE is awakening. My clients tend to be high achieving women and children ages 5 to 10 with anxiety. I often work with healthcare and mental health professionals. Clients who come to me have a desire to improve their relationships, heal from burn out, to practice healthy boundaries, and to work through family of origin and/or attachment issues.
