Therapists in Southwest, Houston, TX

Changes. Accomplishments. Challenges. They all happen. How can we balance our past, present, and future? I can help! With my warm approach, I create a non-judgmental atmosphere of comfort, coping, and hope. If you are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, or looking for a state of well-being, I am here. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I am qualified to provide quality services to all ages. I am ready to meet you where you are on your journey. Let's get closer to your Klear Day.

Are you tired of feeling down? Do you hate being in large crowds? Have you experienced the death of someone close to you and you are having a hard time dealing with it? Is your marriage on the rocks and you don't know what to do? Are you having problems with your child and they need someone to help guide them? Sometimes we just need someone to talk to, to help guide us through the trials of life. With over 10 years of experience, I have helped people, with depression, and anxiety, even ones who may have been dealing with a traumatic event, couples with marital issues, and even children with challenging behaviors.

Have you ever told a "funny" childhood story and no one laughed? Do you wake-up angry or irritable and you don't know why? Or find yourself in the same relationships, job environments, and situations over and over again despite your best efforts to do something different? As a survivor myself, when trauma happens, surviving becomes essential. But what starts as a way to protect ourselves turns into a way of life. We find ourselves, operating on autopilot, "just getting by" in our spiritual lives, at our jobs, in our finances, and with our loved ones.

Here at Heart Doctor & Associates Counseling & Wellness Center we believe counseling is heart work. This means that we understand that we are dealing with our clients from a logical and emotional perspective, and we give our clients the space to navigate the complexities of life using their head and heart. This allows our clients to make empowering decisions about their lives. We work with adolescents, adults, adults going through emerging adulthood, couples, and elderly people. We are skilled in trauma informed care that helps clients move through whatever stage of life they are going through.

Do you find yourself wanting more from your daily life? Or are unhappy and you don't know why? Can't figure out why you don't find enjoyment in the things you used to? You sleep all the time and still wake up exhausted. Depression is real and it can be debilitating. You just want to feel normal but don't know what to do. There's no reason for you to feel this way or go through it alone. You want to be the you, you used to be. It's not too late and change is not impossible. You can be the you, you want to be.

I'm a licensed professional counselor who works primarily with people, 13 years of age and up, who are confused about life and have become angry, non-communicative, anxious, unmotivated, depressed, self harming, and/or suicidal. I help people explore and understand the very things that confuse them, whether it is regulating emotion, family dynamics, distress tolerance, communication, organization skills, interpersonal effectiveness, self-esteem, grief, navigating relationships with healthy boundaries, how to make sense of thoughts and feelings, or how to build resilience.

Life is challenging and continuously changing. These changes can be unexpected, unplanned and can leave one feeling stressed, worried, anxious, and depressed. As your therapist you are not alone, I can provide a supportive and empathetic environment. I will work together with you to guide you through a journey of self-exploration and discovery to achieve a deeper understanding about yourself. While at the same time recognizing your natural gifts and unique talents as an individual. I believe that life experiences shape who we are as individuals and that we are able to re-write our own story.

Now offering evening and weekend appointments. Are you feeling stretched too thin? Do you have a tendency to think of eveyone else's needs while neglecting your own needs? While many of us experience challenges like these, continued pressure to make others happy without taking care of yourself can have a negative impact on your sense of self worth, purpose, and your confidence. This can also impact how others see you and even cause you to internalize the demands of others into feelings of guilt and doubt.

Reaching out for help is the hardest part; you are already brave for making it this far! I hope I can help you in your unique journey toward personal growth and healing in whatever ways you need. I am client-centered and use a holistic approach, meaning I will put you and your needs first while addressing all the factors contributing to your troubles and hindering the fulfillment of your goals. Using CBT (Cognitive Behavior Therapy) we can work to better understand and change your thinking patterns that may be negatively impacting your life.

Welcome! My name is Ronda Allison. I am a Lamar University Alum from Houston, Texas. I have lived, loved and breathed the world of mental and physical health, and overall wellness for over 5 years. In my professional experience, the ultimate point of growth and healing from past traumas and management of current stressors is realizing the relationship between mind, body and spirit. Once we understand the co-mingling that must take place between those separate entities, we then open the door to the truest versions of ourselves.

Hello! I love my work with adults in many areas of their journey. Grief, loss, and trauma can have debilitating effects on you and your relationships. Let's work together to improve your everyday living!
