Hey there, y'all! Welcome to my page. My name is Megan, and I'm from the country outside of Houston, TX. I live in the city now and began working inpatient in the Houston area in 2016. Primarily I have worked with adults with chronic mental illness, but I have experience with all types of clients. I consider mental health multi-faceted and am so happy to be able to help people develop a holistic approach to their own mental health. I emphasize the importance of spiritual, emotional, physical, sexual and intellectual health as a whole.

Are you feeling out of sorts? Are you finding it difficult and challenging to work through conflict with others, or the inner conflict with yourself? Would you like to find supportive help that is solution focused and goal oriented? We can work together to identify what the conflicts are, what goals you want to set, and how to reach the goals and get back on your journey to a new path.

I believe that behavior is affected by age, race, class, family, relationships, gender, sexual orientation, spiritual beliefs, disability status, and that people sometimes need help to reach a state of psychological well-being. Being culturally competent gives me ability to understand, communicate with, and effectively interact with people across cultures. My approach helps my clients achieve insights, develop strategies and provide tools that can be used immediately to improve your quality of life.

My name is Jamie Shields. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor as well as a Licensed Chemical Dependence Counselor. My experience with children, teens and adults spans over two decades. I currently specialize in trauma, substance abuse, grief/loss, anxiety, mood disorders. Additionally, I am a Certified EMDR Therapist . I provide an eclectic approach to counseling with my patients by utilizing components of EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and/or Solution Focused Therapy for trauma, anxiety, substance abuse, mood disorders and other obstacles presented during counseling sessions.

I see individuals, couples and families. I have been a counselor since early 2000 and also began conducting psychological and neuropsychological assessments in 2005. My clients’ ages have ranged from 18 months of age all the way up to 82 years. I have worked extensively with a variety of population groups including sports athletes, law enforcement, domestic violence victims, sexual assault survivors, trauma victims, and traumatic brain injured clients as well. I provide many forms of court ordered evaluations for families in crisis. I am a certified trauma specialist. I also provide EMDR therapy. I hold BBA, Ph.D., CFMHE, & CCCE.

Has life thrown you a curve ball? Are you having issues at school, home, work or in meaningful relationships? Have you noticed that you now feel angry, stressed, depressed, anxious or unmotivated? We all go through the challenges of life and often it is difficult to cope on our own. You need an empathetic, supportive and non-judgmental professional to share your concerns with. My goal is to provide a safe place for you to receive unconditional support and a place to be heard and understood. I have over 7 years of experience in the mental health field in addition to 2 years as a clinician working with clients with addictions.

I view counseling as a partnership between the client and myself. I see my role as enabling people to explore ways to heal from emotional hurt, to discover pathways toward more effective and positive ways of thinking, and to adopt helpful patterns of behavior. Through counseling, I help people recognize their strengths; encourage individuals to take responsibility for their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors; and assist people in making and implementing effective decisions. Using an integrative approach to counseling, the techniques I use are cognitive-behavioral, person-centered, solution-focused, and interpersonal. I utilize cognitive-behavioral therapy and family system theories.

Someone once asked me, "Ashley, what is the number one thing that brings people to counseling?" I laughed and answered, "PEOPLE. People bring people to therapy!" We've all heard that adage: "People go to therapy for the people in their life that WON’T go to therapy”, and it's funny because it's absolutely true! As a professional counselor, I have never met someone who didn't have a story. Everyone has PEOPLE! Everyone has family struggles and relationship issues. Everyone has trouble processing emotions when they feel overwhelmed. Everyone needs someone to confide in and feel safe with, and that's what therapy can be for you.

Everyone who comes in is experiencing some sort of crisis or breakdown in their life and wants some relief from their suffering and confusion. I provide a safe, calm, comforting environment that allows us to talk about the client's concerns and figure out a way to get through the crisis and learn how to prevent future breakdowns. This will include healing past wounds and learning how to use those breakdowns as stepping stones to positive breakthroughs in the future.

If you are experiencing a life challenge or feel like wanting to be listened, I would love to support you in the process! If it’s talking about life, learning a new skill or even having silent moments my main priority is to provide client centered services and genuinely create a trustworthy and professional relationship fostered in cultural sensitivity, empathy and your strengths to achieve your goal.

I work with those in their late teens through geriatrics in individual, marital or family therapy. I thoroughly assess each client and work with their own unique circumstances and strengths to address their issues, resolve presenting problems and accomplish goals. I specialize in the treatment of issues including: mental illness, phase of life, grief and loss, reconciliation, divorce, adjustment to medical or mental health diagnosis, occupational, spiritual, trauma, abuse and women’s issues. Beyond my education and professional experience, I draw from a myriad of personal life experiences that have made me a better therapist.

I believe that hope for improvement or personal growth requires two things. The first is willpower, or motivation for change. If you're considering therapy, you probably already have that. The second is Waypower, or clarity on what the path forward looks like. If you know you want to make some changes but you're not sure how to get there, that's where I can help. If you are looking for relief from symptoms of anxiety or depression...if you are navigating a major life transition and it feels harder than you think it should...if you are feeling "stuck"... or your relationships are not quite what you want them to be, therapy can help.

Congratulations on taking the first step toward the positive change you desire in your life! My main objective is to partner with you to explore solutions that promote a new way forward toward a healthier, happier and more fulfilling life you deserve. Through my active listening, non-judgmental, empathic and relational style – safety, trust and rapport are established which allows clients to discover deeper aspects of themselves, achieve personal & therapeutic goals, and ultimately thrive in everyday life.

I currently work in a private practice setting in Kingwood specializing in working with clients who want to improve their marital relationship by addressing underlying issues causing dissatisfaction or conflict. I also specialize in walking alongside clients who are experiencing the myriad of emotions that follow a significant loss, including a spouse, child, or divorce. I approach clients with the utmost support, care, and concern for their overall health and wellness. Every effort is made to ensure the best possible therapeutic experience while offering a high degree of professionalism yet connectedness with each client.

Clients often come to me because they feel enslaved to their thoughts. Sometimes they find themselves spending 3-8 hours a day obsessing over fears such as losing loved ones, hurting friends, or acting on unwanted impulses. They want to learn how to be free from having to perform certain rituals or mentally track and replay experiences in order to "neutralize" or prevent some perceived threat. I can help you get there through the gold standard of treatment: CBT and ERP! Listening, caring, and advocating for others is my priority. I am a Christian and live to be an instrument of Jesus' mercy, no matter where you are in your faith.

My specialty is working with couples, in particular helping them heal from affairs/betrayals, loneliness, over-the-top conflicts and loss of friendship/romance. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Gottman Method Couples Therapist and Trainer and Consultant for The Gottman Institute. This means I have highly specialized training and experience in helping couples using a researched based, effective modality. A state-of-the-art Love Lab assessment process pinpoints couples issues and helps create a more effective treatment plan. This process mimics Gottman's original research and raises the bar in couples therapy.

Wendy works with adults and teens dealing with trauma, anxiety and depression among other difficulties.

I won't listen and sit expressionless, only nodding occasionally during our time together. I am warm but more direct then that. I care deeply about people I work with. I seek to offer real help. I'm empathic, down to earth and passionate helping. We’ll define goals together. You’ll get feedback that’s helpful and sometimes challenging. Often getting to a better place is not all that complicated and therapy doesn't have to be an endless process that grinds on. Anger, anxiety, depression and addictions are some of things I help people with. There are others. Call me if you have questions. My passion is helping you get better now.
