Therapists in Rice Military, Houston, TX

I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, relationship issues and trauma (including unresolved childhood wounds). Many of my clients come to therapy not knowing what exactly is holding them back but know they are not satisfied with the way things are going and are ready for something to change. Understanding how our past impacts our present is often very empowering; I am able to help you examine how your past experiences play a role in your present day life, as well as, provide the necessary treatment to alleviate/reduce the negative impacts.

I serve the LGBTQ+ community, but my practice is welcoming to everyone. I provide individual and couple counseling to those dealing with trauma, addiction and codependence/relational issues. I incorporate experiential therapy when talk therapy isn't enough. Clients will not only gain self-awareness during our sessions but will also begin to understand the "why" that influences their behaviors. Clients will be educated and empowered throughout our sessions together. You can learn more information about me and my practice by visiting www.healingwaters111.com.

Kristi is passionate about normalizing mental health care and increasing access to high quality treatment for all individuals.

In her personal time, Kristi enjoys learning new skills and hobbies and considers herself a “serial hobbyist,” as she enjoys many different activities. One of her favorite quotes that demonstrates her perspective on therapy is the following from Albert Einstein – “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”

My name is Debra Stonewall. I am a licensed Professional Counselor along with a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor. I take a Person-Centered approach to therapy. I pride myself on helping my clients feel connected instead of evaluated. My specialties are anxiety, depression, mood disorders, personality disorders, marriage, and trauma. I also have extensive knowledge and understanding of the military community because my husband served 30 years in the military. I have been exposed to and lived through some of the unique problems military families and soldiers experience.

I am a passionate and empathetic therapist with strong counseling abilities and an understanding of interpersonal familial relationships. I have experience leading clients through their struggles with interpersonal issues, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Through clinical experience, compassion, and empathy I support and assist those willing to make a positive difference in their lives.

Our belief is to establish a therapeutic relationship for each client to feel comfortable & heard, in a caring & judgment-free manner. We are a boutique counseling practice located in the Houston Heights. We understand the importance of being able to treat the entire family. Whether it is giving support and guidance for a parent, teen counseling for a struggling adolescent, or play therapy, we believe in a systems approach to unify the family, build communication, & provide peace and harmony in the home.

Life is full of storms. The ebbs and flows they bring can leave anyone feeling shipwrecked. My role as a counselor is a grounding one, to equip and enable you to see through the darkness, light. Together we pursue truth, beauty, and lasting freedom.

I have worked with clients who battle with their self-esteem, anxiety, depression, feelings of insecurity, feelings of imperfection, and finding their own identity.

Every journey begins with a single step. You're here, you’ve made that crucial first step. I will bring a spirit of warmth, authenticity, and compassion to our work together…and a bit of humor from time to time as well. I hold no judgment about the past as we work together toward your desired future. You can learn to communicate your needs and manage conflict. I became a therapist because I have personally experienced the power of therapy. You are the expert on you. My job is to walk alongside you as you explore where you’ve been, where you are, and where you want to go.

If you find yourself constantly in the fast lane of life, rest assured I will provide a place to slow down where we can lean into curiosity & understanding. I cater to high-functioning, busy professionals & those who are wanting to better understand themselves & their experiences. If you are a human, you have a story. That story takes up space & is subconsciously, &/or consciously, informing your decisions day to day. Your story deserves to be validated & explored because it makes sense, which means, (exhale with relief) you make sense!

Are you feeling stuck, frustrated, alone, empty, vulnerable in desperation to find balance and joy? Are your worries/concerns taking control of your life? I’ve had the honor to work with people dealing with challenging life situations either related to medical conditions, family, relationship issues or past traumas that continue to affect their daily lives. These can affect your emotional balance, feeling lack of trust, shame and resentment.

Do you feel like you are carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders? Do you wish there were more hours in the day so you could get everything done? Do you live and breathe work and at night you can’t sleep because you are thinking about all the things you still need to do? Nowadays, people face unique challenges that can sometimes be overwhelming. Juggling school, a career, a family, and other responsibilities can leave little time for self-care, leading to feelings of anxiety, stress, and burnout. You may also notice that your relationships are being negatively impacted by these pressures leading to more worry and stress.

This is your sign that you’re ready to live a life that is true to yourself, working through your past and finding ways to accept and trust yourself. In my office, you have permission to abandon the hustle of life and move slowly, intentionally, and in ways that feel good for you. We will work together to find ways that work with you and that “loud” brain, even if you’d rather chew glass than meditate. No need to get all dressed up for our sessions, they aren’t interviews. You can come into session just as you are, after a workout, before work, in sweatpants—there is no requirement for how you have to be.
