Therapists in Houston, TX

Hi there! My name is Chinh. If you’ve reached my page, chances are that your heart has been broken, you probably just had the umpteenth argument with your significant other, or you are just tired of the endless cycle of self-doubt, low self-esteem, and irrational thoughts/beliefs. I come from a culture that does not typically believe in mental illness. Emotional issues were ignored or swept under the rug. I was taught growing up that I shouldn't talk about my feelings; showing any type of emotion was a sign of weakness. My hope as a therapist is help end the stigma associated with mental illness and normalize reaching out for help.

I received my MA in Clinical Psychology from SHSU in 1987 and am a Licensed Professional Counselor and an LSOTP. I began my career within the Texas prisons, working in the psychiatric unit. I then worked as a psychotherapist at West Oaks Psychiatric Hospital and Willowbrook Psychological Assoc. In late 1989, I returned to criminal justice arena working with sexual predators and was the first director for the SO treatment program within TDCJ. I now have a private practice, of 30 years, treating a variety of issues including anger management, anxiety, grief counseling, PTSD, secondary trauma, and female hormonal issues.

Author Helen Keller once stated, "Only through experience of trials and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired and success achieved." I am passionate about helping individuals improve the way that they feel and take back total control of their lives. I'm able to offer you a safe space (online or in-person) to help you work through the difficult feelings and develop the necessary skills to improve your life. In all, I have a HUGE heart for people and value building connections that will ultimately lead to emotional growth.

With age comes wisdom, experience, memories, and many other wonderful things. Yet, with age, there also comes fear, grief, depression, loneliness, and sadness. Age causes us to reflect on our lives, and reminiscence the memories both good and bad. At Gericare, we offer you the chance to process these memories and guide you on how to feel at peace with the present. We talk to you, listen to you, and feel with you. We welcome you to reach out to Gericare for yourselves, your parents, or your loved ones, to see how we can help.

*CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* Personal issues are similar to having physical issues in that, if left untreated, they will not "go away". Maybe you have tried everything you can think of and life feels like it's just getting worse. Maybe it's time for an outside perspective. Seeking help is a decision that will truly benefit you and help make changes for you to lead the happier, healthier life that you desire and envision. If you would like to improve your self-esteem, overcome depression, reduce anxiety .and fears, learn stress and anger management skills, improve communication

I have worked with adults and children to overcome depression, anxiety, early abuse and neglect issues. My special interest include assisting people in recognizing and changing long-standing ineffective patterns of behavior, and working with people who have experienced undernourished and traumatic childhoods. I also work with people who experience stress, job burnout and grief and loss issues.

Overwhelmed? Angry? Afraid? Depressed? Do you feel as if you are alone? Grief, relationships, childhood trauma and other experiences has a way of making us feel a wide range of emotions. In my own life, I have experienced many of those same feelings. The good news is that you don't have to go through it alone. I can help you get to a better place mentally!

I have extensive experience working with law enforcement and first responders. Taking the first step is not easy, and I am glad that you are taking that step.

If you are in a stressful or traumatic situation (e.g. loss of a loved one, coping with sudden life changes), therapy can help.

Are you struggling to feel understood, supported, or connected? Has life thrown you some hardships and you find yourself trying to "just be"? Have you been through challenging transitions? Have you suffered a loss of signifance? Career? Or relationship possibilities? You may be searching for connection, support, and understanding. Are you wanting to feel heard and validated because the people in your life are too busy with their own lives or you haven't found the words to explain what you have been facing currently? It is difficult to manage the struggles that come with life but it can be done effectively.

Therapy is a partnership that grows in an atmosphere of safety and acceptance. It allows one to rediscover the parts of selves which may have been disowned; to learn new skills to handle grief and distress; to build healthier, more nurturing relationships; and to gain access to one's own direct experience of the world. I nurture this collaboration with clients and recognize that within each of us there exists a deeper wisdom that, given adequate support, naturally moves toward healing and integration.

Brene Brown once said, "The truth is that falling hurts. The dare is to keep being brave and feel your way back up." Sometimes, this can be a daunting realization, but you don't have to do it alone! My own experiences with grief, loss, infertility, anxiety and other life changes have shown me a level of familiarity and connection that cannot be taught, allowing me to connect with others in need of support. I received my Master's Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2022, am an LPC-Associate, supervised by Lisa Salazar, DMFT, LPC-S and it would be an honor to walk alongside in your journey to peace and healing!

Life can be challenging, and it can be difficult to know how to make it better. Having someone to help guide you through the challenges can make it less overwhelming. I believe in the power for every person to change their life if given the right roadmap to follow. I work with children, teens, and adults. The treatment approach used depends on the needs of the client. I use play therapy with children because play allows them to express themselves when they may not have the words to talk about their thoughts or feelings. I use traditional talk therapy and other approaches with teens and adults.
