Anger Management Therapists in The Woodlands, TX

Since 2006, my experience has been growing in guiding and supporting folks in overcoming the psychological barriers of severe mental health concerns and situational or generalized concerns. I learn what the individual is seeking to gain and create a therapeutic approach unique to that individual. I'm trained in multiple modalities and typically utilize a combined approach. I enjoy working with adults and couples and provide both individual and family counseling. Choosing a counselor can be a difficult process so I embrace every opportunity as an honor to build a trusting relationship and unveil wellness.

I have a passion for working with couples by improving communication to reduce conflict. I help couples understand how their history has impacted who they are today. Using a solution focused approach and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, we will explore unconscious triggers, unmet needs and gain a deeper understanding of our behavioral responses. While working on guided communication exercises, the couple will learn effective ways to express their needs and develop appropriate behavioral responses during conflict.

Do you feel overwhelmed trying to manage all of your responsibilities, and find yourself doing many things, but none of them as well as you'd like? Do you find your stress level negatively impacting your relationships? You want to be the best parent and spouse you can be while trying to juggle work and time for yourself but you have no idea where to start. You feel like you are doing so much you never have a second to stop and breathe and take in the positives in your life.

I am a bilingual Spanish and English Licensed Professional Counselor who enjoys working with children, adolescents, parents, and adults. As a parent myself, I understand that raising children can be challenging, and I am passionate about supporting families in realizing their full potential for love, growth and peaceful relationships. I have experience working with individuals dealing with presenting concerns such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief & loss, behavioral difficulties and trauma.

Hey! Congrats for taking a huge step! Are you searching for the person you “used” to be? Do you feel that no matter how hard you work it simply isn't enough (all you perfectionists). I'm going to let you in on a secret, it's never going to be enough because what you're searching for isn't at the end another milestone.

Constantly making bad decisions in or around your relationships can take a toll on you. Compound that with the guilt of an affair or infidelity and things can get very dicey. Black men haven’t always had appropriate relationship behaviors modeled for them. We have to learn on the fly and will undoubtedly make mistakes in the process. Struggling with self defeating behaviors is extremely stressful and dangerous. When you make this kind of mistake where can you turn for guidance and support?

I am an anxiety disorders and treatment specialist in The Woodlands, Texas. I utilize Exposure Response and Prevention (ERP) to help adolescents and adults who struggle with Anxiety disorders, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and other phobias. ERP is the gold standard treatment in mental health. Running away from your fears can often lead to patterns of behaviors that may provide immediate relief but does not break the cycle of anxiety, instead, it only increases it. You may find yourself engaging in ritualistic behaviors such as avoidance, reassurance seeking, overt behaviors, and even mental compulsions.

Life can be exceptionally hard. You deserve to have someone willing to sit in the darkness alongside you, regardless of how heavy it may be. As a complex trauma survivor and sufferer of chronic illness, I get it and I want to be your loving-and-fun-yet-hold-you-accountable hand to hold. I chose this career with a goal of giving others a better therapy experience than my own. Working from a relational framework, I firmly believe the therapeutic relationship can be the single-most healing thing about therapy. It’s important to me that you feel both safe and understood no matter what you bring into session each week.

I consider you the expert regarding your own life, and I am your collaborator throughout the therapy process. I pay particular attention to the quality and style of your attachments to others and consider the therapeutic relationship itself to be an important component of the healing process. I think about the realities and tasks of what it means to be human and how this relates to your experience of the world. We may explore your awareness of your own mortality, exercising your free will, and finding meaning and purpose in your life.

I have worked with adolescents and adults in a variety of settings including outpatient clinics, community mental health centers, residential treatment centers, inpatient settings, and correctional facilities. I am well versed in cognitive behavioral treatment (CBT). I enjoy helping clients overcome depression, anxiety, and trauma-related symptoms. I also have expertise with problematic sexual behaviors, including infidelity. I especially like helping people manage impulse control problems, including ADHD symptoms, and executive functioning problems. Lastly, I am available for psychological evaluation services.

I see life as a journey and always changing. I believe that we all have tools to make positive change. I assist others in identifying tools to overcome obstacles that are presented in life that may inhibit positive change. I believe there is great power in the therapist/client relationship. People often find their best version of themselves when they feel truly heard and seen. We can start where you are now and change to find freedom and joy.

Authentic connection gives our lives meaning, but relationships are often difficult to navigate. Do you struggle with relationships? Find it difficult to know what you really want, and even harder to communicate it to others? Do you work so hard to keep everyone else happy that you feel disconnected from your own needs? It’s frustrating when your boundaries feel like lines in the sand—easily erased by demanding partners, bosses, colleagues, even friends. Is past trauma impacting your ability to connect in the present? For over 20 years, I’ve helped people just like you forge fulfilling relationships with others and with themselves.

Recognizing your strengths, even if you haven't seen them for a while or have never acknowledged them, is important in overcoming any problem you are facing. It is my job and my pleasure to help you identify your strengths and gain life-long strategies for happier living. People often become more hopeful and find that the therapeutic process is very helpful. I use humor where we can because therapy should not feel like a chore. It is your opportunity to have a mentor walk with you through a difficult time while providing support, techniques and guidance to help you create the life you envision.

Humans are born to grow. It is the essence of living. However, limiting beliefs block us from knowing our true capacity. Not just that, it hinders us from attaining our life’s purpose. Having a good understanding of self is crucial in developing a healthy self concept. We’ll have a safe and caring one-on-one session where you can talk to me like you’re talking to yourself. This can be about you, your challenges, your career, and anything that bothers you that you know you need help with. I will then help you to the bottom of it and find a solution. I will help you to get out of your way!

Whether it's children with big feelings or behaviors they can’t control or teens struggling with sadness, anxiety, or stress, I'm here to help with teaching ways to identify and cope with these emotions. Perhaps you have a foster or adopted child who is struggling with behaviors due to the feelings of loss. Are you a caregiver of a teen or preteen and feel disconnected and need a way to understand each other? Are you divorced or going through a divorce and aren't co-parenting well? I help parents learn to co-parent effectively for the best interest of the child.

Are you having trouble engaging in your life? With your family or partner? Has transitioning to adulthood and leaving the nest become difficult? There is hope! Together we can work to make change happen. For those that may get called crazy or lazy, I am John Loh. I work with individuals, couples, and families to help them find their way to a life that is more meaningful and fulfilling.
