About
Dr. Micah Rees is a licensed psychologist who works with young adults and adults navigating grief, trauma, and periods of identity disruption, particularly when questions about life direction, purpose, or belief systems come to the forefront. He has extensive experience working with patients presenting existential or spiritual distress, including anxiety related to meaning, mortality, values, and major life changes.
With a background in clinical settings addressing trauma, sexuality, and long-standing emotional patterns, Dr. Rees's training in existential and narrative traditions informs a reflective, depth-oriented approach to psychotherapy and a nuanced understanding of the complexities of human experience. This is especially central for patients seeking to make sense of recurring patterns, unresolved loss, or internal conflicts that shape their sense of self. His work often involves slowing the therapeutic process enough for patients to articulate questions that have felt unformulated or unspeakable. He places particular value on creating space for uncertainty, reflection, and meaning.
Dr. Rees sees clients online across Texas.
