Therapy Specialties in Houston
People rarely arrive in therapy with a single, tidy problem. Anxiety shows up alongside burnout; a relationship strain feeds a low mood; a life transition stirs up old patterns. The specialties below are the areas I work with most often at Being Counseling, in person in Houston and by secure video across Texas. They are not separate boxes so much as different doors into the same integrative work—drawing on CBT, psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness, and Eastern contemplative traditions to help you understand what is driving your distress and respond to it differently.

Whatever brought you here, the underlying method is consistent: we get clear on the thoughts, beliefs, and patterns keeping you stuck, and then build a practical plan to change your relationship to them. That is why so many of these concerns overlap—treating the root, not just the label, is what makes the work last.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor with over two decades in mental health and higher education, nine of them in clinical practice, I offer a concierge approach with longer, unhurried sessions and real access between meetings. If you are not certain which specialty fits what you are carrying, that is a good reason to book a free consultation—we will figure out the right starting point together.
