Male Therapists in Montrose, Houston, TX

Do you feel pulled in a million directions, unable to fit it all in? Are you struggling to keep up with your relationships, work and health? Are you feeling overwhelmed or just plain stuck in life? I help people restructure their damaged relationships. Relationships are more than romantic interactions between two people. Relationships as I define it can be with anyone or anything that you exchange energy with. The biggest relationship that we struggle to understand and grow with is the person staring at us in the mirror each morning. No matter what relationship your struggling with ( work, home, family, yourself.) I'm here to help.

Paul works with his clients to help identify unconscious patterns and themes that may be affecting their daily lives and relationships and bring them to the conscious mind. Collaborating with them to heal and move forward—past any recurring thoughts and behaviors causing distress or holding them back—towards increased self-awareness and a deeper sense of purpose and meaning.

Joseph Campbell once said, "The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are." As a therapist, I believe there can be no greater goal than to help you become your authentic self. By acknowledging you as the expert in your own life, and not imposing my own ideas of who you "should" be, my role is to help you work through any old survival strategies, reactive patterns, and physical/emotional traumas that prevent you from being the person you were meant to be, and living the life you were meant to live.

Navigating transition and uncertainty alone can be daunting and generate fears that keep us stuck. We can feel trapped in our heads, and whether change is something we are actively pursuing or is a condition we feel is forced upon us, it can be difficult to find a way out, especially all on our own! Therapy can be a place to unburden ourselves and share our minds with someone who can provide an outside perspective and help us move forward with purpose. It can also be especially helpful for people who struggle with vulnerability and shame and provide a safe space to express and process emotions and struggles.

I am dedicated to helping clients improve their lives and achieve self-transformation. This includes learning to cope, manage, overcome and transcend mental health issues. Building mindfulness and emotional awareness is key to understanding how our belief systems and emotions drive our decisions/behaviors. Our sessions will be fully engaged in building healthier thoughts, feelings, emotions, beliefs, values, perceptions, assumptions so that we can reshape our life narrative and see reality differently. Each individual is capable of healing psychological wounds, finding peace and balance, while being centered and present.

It is our potential to have fulfilling and meaningful lives, expressed through our love and our work. Therapy supports individuals realizing this potential. Therapy is effective at alleviating acute stress, anxiety and depression and in turn finding meaning in the difficulties and struggles of life. My goal is to help you live a life with greater calm and acceptance, greater resilience in the face of difficulties, a greater sense of energy, effectiveness and elegance in living, an enhanced sense of choice and satisfaction, and improved intimacy with loved ones and friends.

If you're feeling burdened by unresolved conflict or are finding it difficult to forgive and release resentments, I can help. I completed a Master of Arts degree in Clinical Psychology from the University of Houston - Clear Lake in 1997. I have been practicing as a Licensed Professional Counselor since 2000 and have worked in the mental health field for 25 years. Former Credentialed Distinguished Mediator with over 15 years of experience conducting reconciliation mediations and coaching others in conflict resolution.

I have counseled individuals, families, and couples for forty-four years. I assist clients with issues that include depression, anxiety, family communication, career choices, and the stress of physical illness. Trained in psychodynamic, client-centered, and Jungian methods, I tailor counseling to the needs of clients. I favor approaches that respect innate creativity, core values, and interdependence. In addition to talking, other modalities may include relaxation and imagery, sometimes called self-hypnosis, journaling, and the use of art. As a former priest I bring to my practice the conviction that problems are ultimately resolved by finding meaning and purpose.

Life throws so much at us, and sometimes we need to make the space to talk about it. Whether we deal with difficult emotions, grief, relationship issues, or existential questions about life, your story and how you tell it matters. Let's learn to tell a good one together.

My clinical practice primarily involves working with individuals and couples who are navigating significant life transitions. These transitions may include the shift into adulthood, adjustments related to new career roles or positions, coping with serious injuries or illnesses, and managing complex or newly-formed relationships.

As an interactive, solution-focused psychotherapist, my approach is to provide support and practical feedback to address life challenges and long-standing issues.

I am an addiction specialist treating compulsive behaviors for the last ten years. I have helped people struggling with substance, food, gambling and compulsive sexual behaviors. I am a licensed clinical social worker and a certified sexual addiction therapist. With this experience I have specialized in developing techniques to support the parents and partners in relationship with those in active addiction. There is a reason addiction is our number one public health issue and the sooner people intervene on themselves or others the sooner recovery begins.

As a clinician, I take great pride in treating my clients not as just a collection of diagnoses and symptoms but rather as a real person to be listened to and related to on a human to human level. I do my best to keep the administrative tasks at a minimum so we can focus on what’s most important; your healing and growth. In our work, you'll get a straightforward, no nonsense approach that keeps you, the person, at center stage.

Life is challenging in 2024. Many of us learn to worry incessantly and criticize ourselves. Many of us battle anxiety and depression. Many of us are looking for answers, acceptance and validation. The search for serenity can leave us exhausted and bewildered. The pressures of a modern life can lead to loneliness and sadness. Fortunately, we do not have to face life's most daunting moments alone.

We can feel the most alone when we are hurting. We might struggle to even feel heard or understood. For therapy to be successful one has to feel heard, understood, and accepted with non-judgmental empathy. This is the foundation of my approach. Together we will explore your challenges, identify the obstacles you face, and find ways to navigate around them. I use an action driven approach to help clients gain insight and inspiration to discover solutions for their troubles.

Are you tired of holding? Whether it's holding it all together, holding everything in, or holding on to hope, it's all exhausting. Of course you're feeling burnt out, isolated, or lost. I promise to accept you regardless of what you've done, how you've behaved, or your darkest thoughts. My sessions are filled with compassion and connection. I'm an individual and relationship therapist, but specialize in the LGBT+ population, isolation, loneliness, anxiety, depression, and non-monogamous relationships. My approach as an emotionally-focused therapist is discovering unmet needs, heal attachment wounds, and identify the hard emotions.

Congratulations on reaching out for help! I've been there and know it's not easy. In fact it's scary as hell! The fact is everyone on this planet struggles. It's the human condition and we all need help from time to time. I guarantee you that if I'm having problems with my plumbing, I call a plumber. I've been a therapist now for 30 years and can safely say I've pretty much seen it all. Most of us think our problems are really different than everyone else's, but I assure you we're all much more alike than we are different. The truth is everyone just wants to be happy, feel at peace, and have successful loving relationships.

My goal is to work with my clients to create a safe, open, & supportive environment for them to express themselves freely and unapologetically. I work with my clientele on breaking old habits, reframing powerful beliefs, and unsettling feelings that have anchored them from moving forward in life and accomplishing their goals. My main focus is assisting my clients with becoming the best versions of themselves through identifying their priorities, values, & develop the skills needed to tap into their full potential.
