Feminist Therapists in Houston, TX

During the course of therapy, my focus is to learn about who you are and where you want to go in your life’s journey. My primary goal in that process is to create a supportive and a non-judgemental environment that can provide us the space to put successes into action and aid us in embodying them. Your goals can seem daunting at first, but together we will build a foundation that empowers you to not only achieve your goals, but also to strive for whatever comes next.

I am a queer, nonbinary therapist who specializes in working with clients of all ages who are exploring their gender, sexual or romantic identity, and/or sexual trauma. There's no such thing as TMI in therapy with me: we can talk about sex, dating, abuse, religion, money, family, and other "shameful" topics without judgment. We can cuss, cry, laugh, share memes, and make darkly inappropriate jokes about mental health. Therapy requires honesty and cutting through the bs; we find healing and joy through authentic connection with others.

I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2019, and I have experience supporting young adults and adults with concerns such as addictions, substance use disorders, depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship/ family issues, and anger management. My ideal client would like to resolve these issues by empowering themselves to learn how to counter negative thoughts, regulate emotions, tolerate moments of distress, communicate effectively, and mindfully stay within the present moment. My ideal client would like to learn these skills in order to manifest their ideal life and be the best version of themselves.

My strengths include working with adolescents and young adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, multicultural issues, systematic oppression, and/or transitional issues related to adulthood. I also help people with LGBTQ+ concerns, unhealthy relationships, systemic trauma, racist experiences, microagressions, discrimination, and immigration issues.

Are you looking for an authentic connection with a therapist and appreciate an open, supportive dialogue? Are you searching for a therapist who will give feedback and explore with you rather than only offering a listening ear? Do you feel stuck, struggling to get through even one more day? Have you had trouble in the past connecting with therapists? If any of this sounds like you, then you are in the right place.

Each of us is on a journey. On that journey there are obstacles, detours and unexpected changes. I collaborate with the client in navigating a path that leads to harmonious flow. Let's overcome any barriers to your full potential together. I work with teens, adults and groups. My areas of specialty include mood disorders, trauma and abuse (emotional, physical, verbal, financial and spiritual), and any life adjustments that may require guidance. I incorporate an empowerment perspective. Practicing through a holistic and integrative lens. Let's create a therapeutic relationship based on genuineness, respect, and acceptance.

“It can be scary to start this journey, but it is also scary to be stuck forever. There is a life where you get to have more control and peace. You are not alone and whenever you are ready, we can begin working together towards your healing.” Creating a life worth living may take working through wounds. Kateri is EMDR certified, which aids people becoming unstuck from their traumas.

Traumas may lead to anxiety, addictions, chronic issues & illnesses.

I am Lorin Williams East, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 6 years of clinical experience. I have had the honor of working alongside survivors of abuse and assault, which has given me a deep understanding of how people can live with traumas they have experienced. I use a mix of Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Dialectical (DBT), Feminist, and Trauma Focused therapies. I believe we all deserve compassion and a space to be authentic while growing and learning to function in each individual life.

Everyone needs a safe space to talk about life's difficult moments. Creating that safe/non-judgemental space is my primary goal in every session. Using a supportive and collaborative approach, I aim to help you develop insight and awareness into your struggles in order to foster healing and growth. I believe in meeting you where you are and walking beside you throughout your journey of enlightenment.

My personal and professional experiences have taught me that people are largely defined by their experiences of connection to others. I believe that relationships can be the source from where psychological distress can arise and can be resolved. Given these beliefs, I have come to take a theoretical approach that incorporates theory and techniques from multiple approaches, such as cognitive-behavioral, solution focused, systems, multicultural and feminist theories, and selectively combine them into an existing conceptual model, interpersonal process theory. Using this approach, the relationship serves as the foundation on which to address behaviors, thoughts, feelings and interpersonal patterns that impede effective functioning.

As a queer woman of color, I have a unique perspective that helps me connect with clients from many different backgrounds. As a counselor, I know how comforting it can be to connect with someone who can understand your experiences— and how that type of connection can make you feel less alone. My goal is to provide a safe, flexible space tailored to your specific needs where you feel unconditionally embraced and understood as you work towards your goals.

Brittany Washington is a mental health therapist with a Master of Clinical Social Work degree from Baylor University. Her clinical approach is compassionate, BIPOC-focused, trauma-sensitive, solution-oriented, and research-informed. She leads authentic, thought-provoking, encouraging, and gentle therapeutic conversations while challenging the client. Additionally, she values hearing her clients' diverse perspectives and tailors her care plans to their unique personalities, goals, and life experiences.

Are you frustrated by the quality of the relationships in your life? I help individuals and couples seeking reconnection, conflict management, communication skills, deeper intimacy, and a general sense of understanding how their past impacts their current relational patterns. Relational healing and emotional connectivity makes our experience of partnership much more fulfilling, which impacts every other area of our lives. Utilizing Emotionally Focused Therapy and trauma-informed & attachment based techniques, our work together can transform your understanding of each other as well as the quality of your life together.

I am a psychodynamic therapist with a long history of working with creatives-- people whose creative talents and passions are an important component of how they organize their world.

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.

Welcome, all. My name is Laura and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas. I work with clients of all ages and a broad range of mental health concerns, but focus on anxiety and depression, LGBTQ clients, and relationship concerns. My holistic approach utilizes cognitive-behavioral therapy: I focus on changing thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. I get to know what works for each individual, because there is no one-size-fits all approach to therapy! I'm passionate about helping people solve their problems, and I look forward to working with you.

Who are you, really? People trust you with a lot—at work, at home, in your relationships—and you deliver. You’ve always had it together. But at what cost? Are you tired of feeling on edge, exhausted, or insecure? Maybe it’s hard to say exactly what’s wrong, but something’s not right. You know life could be better. Let’s figure it out together. In our sessions, we’ll get to know the real you. Bring your joy, rage, and tears—it’s all welcome here! Together, we’ll build a trusting relationship so you can comfortably unpack all the complexities of life. I’ll help you stop performing and bring your best self forward.

Counseling is an intimate process, and can bring to light aspects of our lives that we have intentionally shielded from public view. Here, in closed corners, many of us struggle with loneliness, broken relationships, paralyzing fears, unmet expectations, and questions about our purpose. This is also where our most profound healing occurs. It’s scary. It’s nerve wrecking. But taking that first step is always worth it.

Navigating the mental health world and finding a good therapist can be challenging, especially when you are trying to find someone that gets you and acknowledges your culture and background. I commend you for taking the first step in your healing journey. Do some of these sound familiar? You recognize the importance of healing generational trauma; you want to enjoy the present-moment however, your mind gets stuck in the past or the future; you want to create meaningful connections, but you end up sabotaging your relationships; you want to embrace your culture and traditions while recognizing unhealthy generational patterns.
