Sexual Abuse Therapists in Houston, TX

We all have a story to tell. Maybe your story is one that includes traumatic experiences such as manipulation, sexual abuse, or sexual assault. Maybe you are experiencing loneliness, depression, or anxiety. You might be struggling at school, work, or in your relationships. Maybe you want to leave a relationship and do not know how. Or maybe, just maybe, you feel like life is okay, but really could be better. You do not have to figure things out on your own. Talking helps. Therapy is not just for certain kinds of people. It can be beneficial for anyone, including you.

If you are on the fence about starting therapy, we completely understand, and that is why we are committed to providing a positive and comfortable experience here. Whether you are seeking therapy for yourself, your relationship, your child, or your family, coming in to start therapy can be a vulnerable experience. Therefore, therapy always goes at your pace, and we value interactive feedback while setting goals and coming up with a plan. Every single person, child, couple and family is unique; therefore, we design a custom treatment plan based on your unique needs and desires.

I assist in risk assessments, forensic counseling and Chaperone training. I specialize with children and adults experiencing inappropriate sexual behaviors and abuse. The agency clinicians have passion for changing the world-one family at a time. We work with trauma both specific and ambiguous. We believe clients have power not yet realized and work along side with curiosity offering potential insight and skills for personal change. HTWC is the only Houston office certified for the MEGA age 4-19.99 years/ male/female sexual improprieties, sexual/reactive, or sexual/abusive.

Hello there, I'm Heidi. My calling for the past 7 years has been to help teens and young adults who have experienced child abuse, dating violence & sexual assault. I also have experience working with depression, anxiety, grief, loss, and self-esteem.

Specializing in trauma, sexual abuse, men’s/couples issues, and PTSD, I work with adults and adolescents. As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, as well as being certified in NeuroPsychotherapy, I have a passion for seeing people find hope and healing by looking at how the brain and body respond to trauma. It is important for you as the client to know that I am for you and with you every step of the way. Imagine you have a tool belt with various tools to help you navigate life - counseling is simply the process of helping you add additional tools to your belt so you know how to handle anything that may come your way!

Email or Call. Are you struggling with things in life? Let’s talk about it! My office space is a completely judgement free zone! Do you feel like you can’t be open about your life struggles and are trying to figure out an open space to go through this journey? I am here for you to hold the space and listen. I support and welcome with open arms kids, pre-teens, teens, SA & DV Survivors, Trauma survivors & LGBTQIA+ Community. My goal is to create a space to help heal. I am an LPC and hold a PhD in Philosophy with emphasis in Clinical Sexology and a MS in Counseling.

Have you found yourself overwhelmed by the weight of past trauma either from childhood abuse, intergenerational trauma, or sexual assault & feeling stuck with the memories playing out in your head? Or maybe you’ve been saying “I need to get back to my old self,” or “I’ve been dealing with a lot lately” & hoping for the insight or tools to change that? I work with adults & LGBTQIA folks just like you: ones that have it within them to thrive again after trauma & life challenges, but just need the support to tap into their strengths to get there or support gathering & sorting pieces of life to make sense of everything.

I am dedicated to creating a safe and nurturing space where we can explore your truth and navigate through any emotional barriers that may be hindering your growth. My goal is to support you in processing traumatic experiences and uncovering your authentic self. Utilizing modalities such as Mindfulness, Solution-Focused therapy, and Crisis Intervention, I tailor my approach to suit your specific needs.

As a survivor of childhood sexual assault, physical and mental abuse, and rape, I understand how important it is to feel safe in your environment, which is why I offer Mobile Counseling. I come to you, in an environment of your choosing, because unless you feel safe and comfortable, your healing will not progress the way you need it to. I customize each treatment plan according to your needs, and adjust accordingly. I do not believe in cookie cutter counseling/therapy, as rape and violence is not cookie cutter. If you are ready to stop surviving your life and start living your life, then I am the counselor for you.

Life can be so challenging. Even when "good" things happen to us, it can bring stress and grief. Deciding to work with a counselor is a bold and brave step toward coping with whatever life is giving you. Having a person to help you process issues is liberating. By learning about your strengths and by learning how to use them effectively, you can begin to heal and transform into the person you were meant to be. I have worked with many different presenting issues including anxiety, depression, lgbtqia+ issues, family and parenting issues, school related issues/microaggressions, and many more.

Do anxiety, generation trauma ("what happens at home stays home" and never resolved), sexual abuse, addiction and insecurities run your life more than your values and dreams? Do you relive the past as if it were happening right now? Your head knows better, but it fails to convince your heart otherwise. As challenging as those experiences were for the past, they continue to zap away your joy and confidence today. You might even avoid situations that trigger the feelings.

Hi, I'm so glad you're here! I am a licensed clinical social worker offering virtual therapy to individuals in Texas and Louisiana. My specialities lie in working with survivors of trauma, abuse and assault, LGBTQIA+ adults and teens, and those experiencing chronic illness. As a queer person myself, I value knowing I can access therapy from a member of the LGBTQIA+ community. My job is to meet you where you are and assess how your feelings, experiences, and the systems we live in impact how you make sense of the world. Learning about ourselves in such a way impacts the way we navigate our lives, for the better.

Do you suffer from trauma due to sexual abuse, abusive relationships, unresolved childhood trauma, and/or generational trauma? We hold on to that trauma in their Physical bodies without knowing. This and the emotional trauma an individual endures show up in our lives even when the action is over. Every relationship is affected as well as how we show up in our lives with work and other activities. This can show up in an abundance of ways. Deep down, we know something is off and want to heal and show up differently; however, we don't know how.

It’s my fault. I should have known better. I could have stopped it. If you are here you may have experienced sexual abuse as a child or someone has forced, tricked, or pressured you into something sexual. Your mind screamed no, but your voice remained silent. Fear paralyzed you. Memories are foggy, but haunting. You feel dirty, used and ashamed. You hate your body. Anxiety and sadness consume you. It feels like you have been torn to pieces and your power taken. Every decision and feeling is followed by confusion and doubt. Can I ever trust my instincts again? All you want is to forget it happened and move on with your life.

I have over 15 years of experience working with teens and adults. My passions include treating sexual and other trauma (including complex PTSD) and providing affirming care to the transgender and nonbinary community (ages 14+). Practicing with an eclectic approach, I borrow techniques and theory from several different areas (DBT, IFS, EMDR, Humanism and psychoeducation). My clients are partners in therapy; we work together to find what works best for each person. My clients tell me that they feel safe and valued in our sessions. I am dually licensed in both Texas and Oregon.

I am Tralynza, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I was born and raised in Memphis, TN, and I am a nine-year U.S. Air Force, active duty, war veteran. I earned my bachelor’s in social work at Texas A&M-Central Texas and a master’s in social work at Our Lady of the Lake University-Worden School of Social Service, with concentration on Hispanic children & families. I have experience working with survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, depression, anxiety, children, teens, adults, & groups. I'm a certified Mental Health First Aider, specializing in suicide prevention and intervention and a Certified Grief Informed therapist.

I believe that individuals are unique; each possessing their OWN worldview, which, ultimately, would make you the expert of your own life. Sometimes in life, we need assistance in our journey towards the realization and fulfillment of our own talents and potentials: self-actualization. I assist my clients by enabling them to move towards openness, developing a greater trust in themselves, building the willingness to process, and increase self-realization. All while providing a non-judgmental environment where your personal life experiences are heard, and you are valued as the unique human being that you are.

Sometimes, life can feel hopeless or overwhelming. Sometimes, we find that the coping tools we have relied on are no longer working to manage the altered reality around us. Sometimes, we all need help, and reaching out is the first step. My approach to therapy is client-centered and eclectic, but I believe in focusing on individual strengths and finding solutions-focused methods to address individual problems. With experience living and working in diverse societies, I seek to understand your unique cultural perspectives and values. I use cognitive and behavioral approaches, but I am open to adjusting my techniques.

Everyone should have accessible mental health services in order to maintain their overall well-being. As a Bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Professional Counselor, my work primarily consists of working with those who have experienced sexual abuse, domestic violence, trauma, grief, depression/anxiety, and other life transitions. My work centers specifically with women and young adults. As a first generation Latina I can understand the struggles and anxieties that can come about when seeking mental health services.
