Mental Health Services in Houston

 

Therapy, Counseling, Psychological Testing, and Mental Health Services in Houston

At Houston Therapy, we provide therapy, counseling, psychological assessment, and mental health services for adults, teens, couples, families, and professionals throughout Houston and Texas.

Our psychologists, therapists, and counselors specialize in helping people navigate anxiety, ADHD, trauma, depression, relationship difficulties, burnout, executive functioning problems, sleep issues, and major life transitions. We offer both in-person therapy in Houston and secure online therapy across Texas.

Our approach is individualized, evidence-based, and relational. Some clients come to therapy seeking practical tools and symptom relief. Others want deeper insight into longstanding emotional patterns, relationships, identity, or meaning. Most people benefit from a combination of both.

Houston Therapy's  Services Include:

Whether you are struggling with stress, emotional overwhelm, relationship conflict, low motivation, perfectionism, trauma, or uncertainty about your next steps in life, our goal is to help you build a more meaningful and satisfying life.

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy provides a confidential space to better understand yourself, improve emotional well-being, and create meaningful change. Therapy can help people navigate anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, relationship difficulties, grief, burnout, perfectionism, identity concerns, and major life transitions.

Our therapists work with adults, college students, professionals, and young adults using a range of evidence-based and depth-oriented approaches including Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, interpersonal therapy, EMDR, Brainspotting, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

Some clients come to therapy seeking short-term support and practical tools. Others benefit from longer-term work focused on deeper emotional patterns, relationships, attachment dynamics, or personal growth.

Clinicians providing individual therapy include Dr. Daniel Katz, Dr. Shea McTaggart, Emma Barr, Claire Cooper, Kelly Birkhold, Catherine Comiskey, Dana Boyko, Dr. Kristina Nunez, Joe Bartolotta, and others.

Couples Counseling

Relationships can be one of the greatest sources of meaning in life, but they can also become sources of pain, resentment, disconnection, and loneliness. Couples counseling helps partners improve communication, rebuild trust, navigate conflict, deepen emotional intimacy, and better understand recurring relational patterns.

Our couples therapists work with dating, engaged, married, and long-term partners navigating issues such as:

  • Communication problems

  • Emotional disconnection

  • Conflict and resentment

  • Infidelity and betrayal

  • ADHD and neurodivergence in relationships

  • Parenting stress

  • Intimacy concerns

  • Life transitions

  • Premarital counseling

Our clinicians draw from approaches including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman Method interventions, psychodynamic therapy, attachment-based therapy, CBT, and interpersonal approaches.

We offer both in-person couples counseling in Houston and online couples therapy throughout Texas.

Clinicians who work with couples include Claire Cooper, Kelly Birkhold, Catherine Comiskey, and Shea McTaggart.

Family Therapy

Family therapy can help families better navigate conflict, communication problems, parenting challenges, emotional distance, and major life transitions. Rather than viewing one individual as “the problem,” family therapy explores the patterns, roles, and relational dynamics occurring within the system as a whole.

Family therapy may help with:

  • Parent-child conflict

  • Adolescent behavioral concerns

  • Communication difficulties

  • Divorce and blended families

  • Emotional regulation struggles

  • Anxiety and ADHD within the family system

Our therapists help families develop healthier communication patterns, improve emotional understanding, and strengthen relationships while balancing accountability with compassion.

  • School stress

ADHD Therapy & Executive Functioning Support

ADHD affects far more than attention. Many adults and teens with ADHD struggle with emotional regulation, procrastination, overwhelm, shame, inconsistent motivation, time blindness, impulsivity, relationship strain, and chronic burnout.

Our therapists provide ADHD-informed therapy focused on both practical strategies and the emotional experience of living with ADHD. We help clients better understand how ADHD impacts work, relationships, self-esteem, routines, organization, and identity.

Treatment may include:

  • Executive functioning support

  • Behavioral strategies

  • Accountability systems

Our therapists work with:

  • PTSD and complex trauma

  • Relationship trauma

  • Medical trauma

CBT-I for Insomnia & Sleep Issues

CBT-I may help individuals struggling with:

  • Difficulty falling asleep

  • Waking during the night

  • Racing thoughts at bedtime

  • Poor sleep quality

  • Anxiety about sleep

  • Irregular sleep schedules

Rather than relying solely on medication, CBT-I focuses on improving sleep behaviors, thought patterns, routines, and nervous system regulation.

Group Therapy

Group therapy can provide support, accountability, emotional connection, and opportunities for interpersonal growth. Many people find that group therapy helps reduce shame and isolation while allowing them to better understand how they relate to others.

Houston Therapy offers groups focused on topics such as:

  • Anxiety

  • Social anxiety

  • ACT-based skills

  • Interpersonal process work

  • Emotional regulation

  • Young adult support

Group therapy can be especially powerful for individuals who struggle with loneliness, avoidance, relationship patterns, or difficulty feeling understood by others.

Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy combines psychotherapy with ketamine treatment in a structured therapeutic setting. KAP may help individuals experiencing depression, trauma, anxiety, existential distress, and patterns that have not responded well to traditional treatment alone.

At Houston Therapy, KAP is integrated into an ongoing therapeutic process rather than treated as a standalone intervention. Preparation, integration, and therapeutic support are central parts of the work.

Clinicians specializing in KAP include Dr. Daniel Katz, Dr. Shea McTaggart, and Elizabeth Seabolt-Esparza.
