Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Houston, TX

I'm a licensed clinical social worker with about 7 years clinical experience. I have worked with both youth and adults. I enjoy working with young adults who may benefit from mentoring and the support of a caring listener in exploring who they are becoming. I also enjoy working with adults to support increased self-care and well-being. Beyond this, I have experience and training in treating many common mental health conditions, especially adult PTSD, anxiety, depression, and sleep difficulties.

Life can be challenging, and sometimes, we find ourselves facing tough situations, whether we’re prepared for them or not. These experiences impact us in many ways, but remember, seeking help is not a sign of weakness; it’s a sign of strength. I truly believe that counseling is a powerful tool that can help you navigate through these challenges, offering you a path to healing, growth, and a brighter future.

You deserve to live a life that leaves you excited to wake up every morning. You may find yourself feeling overwhelmed with the day-to-day, struggling to build self-confidence or challenged to engage with others in a meaningful way. Stress, depression, and anxiety take many forms and impact our lives in substantial ways. Pursuing counseling is a wonderful step towards a positive change. In counseling, I work with clients to understand the cause of their symptoms, their goals, and a plan forward. I have extensive experience working with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, and low self-confidence.

Every emotion, thought, or feeling we experience is valid and has the potential to influence our lives. Feeling intense emotions, especially around feelings of grief, can be difficult to process and at times we need to seek clarity for what we are experiencing. I learned this during my own grief journey through the losses of loved ones. We will work together to create worthwhile, real change. I will offer my support in a nurturing and non-judgmental environment. I will offer a specialized approach to each session because every person is unique.

I believe we cannot change things that are outside of our awareness, and we cannot grow without first having acceptance of where we are in our journey. The things that we seek to change about ourselves are not “weaknesses;” in fact, the very behaviors and beliefs that are no longer serving us now may have been necessary survival defenses at one point in life. My goal is to help you understand where in life you developed those behaviors/beliefs, how they have shaped you, and how they can be shifted into a more healthy, adaptive approach moving forward.

We live in a challenging and quite complicated world. As we struggle with our hardships, it is important to remember that we don’t have to go through it alone. Therapy is a big commitment, but it can also be a space where you have the opportunity to heal, grow, and embrace your authentic self. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who is extremely passionate about working with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, emotion regulation, divorce, grief, life transitions, relationship issues, self-esteem, stress, addiction, suicidal ideation, ADHD, as well as school or work-related issues.

I am very gifted in making authentic connections with any population I work with. I have worked with a diverse group of clientele such as work with foster children suffering from mental health issues. Including bipolar, reactive attachment, anxiety and depression. I also have an extensive history working with adults who suffer from PTSD, complex childhood trauma, and severe anxiety and depression. Furthermore, I love working with the LGBTQ community in addressing issues sensitive to their needs such as increasing gender identity issues, body dysmorphia, and eating disorders.

Adulthood can generally mean transitions, complex relationships, self-doubt, and uncertainty. Unfortunately, nobody told us how to navigate all of this and it can feel really challenging to balance all of the responsibilities. If things in your life feel really overwhelming or you notice that your life feels stagnant and you want to keep growing, you don’t have to go through it alone. I meet you where you’re at and we work to add tools to your toolbox in a safe and non-judgmental space. I want to work with you to help you discover a peaceful relationship with yourself.

Greetings! My name is Charles Vela, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor here in the state of Texas.

I received my undergraduate degree in philosophy and psychology at the University of Texas-Austin and went on to my graduate studies at UTRGV.

Psychotherapy can be a life changing experience. The first step of the process is finding a therapist with whom you feel comfortable. I would like to help you explore your unique situation to discover whether I might be that therapist for you. Together, we will work to understand how your mind works and how to use this understanding to create the life you want. I am an active therapist who utilizes an integrative approach to treatment. I pull from psychodynamic, dialectical behavioral (DBT), mentalizing, and interpersonal theories to help patients build skills and self awareness while helping them live their life to the fullest.

My name is Rachel Daley and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC) based out of San Antonio, Texas.

You deserve to live your joy. Yes, you! It is my greatest honor to join you and empower you as you navigate your unique journey. My priority is to build a safe space and be your confidant as we work together towards your goals to re-imagine a purpose and balance in life that is functional and healthy for you.

My primary focus is helping clients build a fulfilling life based on their personal values & goals. I primarily work with older adolescents, adults, parents, and families with a variety of difficulties including: self-harm & suicidal behaviors, intense emotions/emotions that feel out of control, mood (depression and bipolar disorder), anxiety, and substance use disorders. I have extensive training treating disorders during pregnancy and the postpartum period, as well. My style is collaborative and compassionate, as well as evidence based, meaning I use treatments that have been supported by research to show they are effective.

I may be a tad bit biased, but I believe therapy to be one of the most monumental and beneficial experiences a person can be a part of. Therapy creates a safe and warm environment for one to learn how to be compassionate towards their younger self, empower their current self, and also fight for their future self. Because of this, therapy has long-lasting impacts on your self-identity, interpersonal relationships, cultural aspects, professional endeavors, and most importantly, your ability to withstand adversity and grow through hardships.

I have dedicated my life to working with individuals who experience trauma and seek profound change. Life can be filled with many challenges and obstacles along the way. "Challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming them makes life meaningful. "-Joshua J Marine. The goal is to empower clients to break barriers and create a purposeful life through Growth, Healing, and Self-reliance. Each individual has a past that tells a valuable story. "You are the storyteller of your own life and can create your own legend, or not"- Isabel Allende . Using evidence-based therapy practices to further influence change in those I encounter.

Perfectionistic? Socially anxious? Need a sense of control? These traits can lead to burnout, as well as relationship conflicts, social isolation, obsessive thinking, and problems with anger. They can also cause you to stop before you get started! I can help you to achieve your goals, and also develop a sense of openness, balance, and emotional well being. For more than 15 years, I have specialized in the treatment of anxiety, depression, and trauma reactions, and I have helped people move forward in their lives.

Howard Thurman writes, "Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive." My goal as a therapist is to partner with you on your journey and help you find what makes you come alive. Ask yourself this question: "Who could I be?" The person you could be is calling you forward out of who you have been.

I offer individual, couples, and family therapy formats for adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief, or attachment trauma. **I am also trained in DBT and Self Compassion and offer 1:1 work.** Struggles we face in life can negatively influence our understanding of ourselves, others, and the world around us in ways that keep us stuck, afraid, and unhealthy. Processing these difficult experiences can allow us to break free from this influence and show up in the world in ways that align with our inherent goodness, enabling feelings of success and happiness. You deserve to feel these things and more!
