In-Person

PhD-Level In-Person Therapy in Houston, TX

Some conversations feel different face to face. You leave home, enter a separate space, and share a room with your therapist. Silence, pauses, even breathing in the same place can shift what what surfaces and what becomes possible to say.


Our clinical team of doctoral level, in-network psychologists in Houston provides in person therapy in Houston and online across Texas.

Our psychologists come from diverse cultural backgrounds, speak multiple languages, and have worked in multiple countries and settings. We are attentive to how culture, migration, race, gender, and identity shape a person's life and inner world.


Our clinical approach is depth-oriented. We are interested in what sustains the symptoms, not only what they look like on the surface. Why does this keep happening, and where did it come from? These questions take time and require a different quality of attention, a willingness to stay with what is uncomfortable, and a clinician who can hold complexity over the long term.


Where clinically indicated, our psychologists also draw on structured, evidence-based approaches, including CBT and other manualized treatments for trauma, OCD, and other conditions. Depth and structure are not opposites. For many patients, both are part of the same course of treatment.


Our clinical team of doctoral-level psychologists provides in-person therapy in Houston and telehealth across Texas. A number of them are also PsyPact-authorized to see patients in other states.


We are in-network with Aetna, BCBS Texas, Cigna, United Healthcare/Optum, and Oscar, and we'll verify your benefits before your first appointment. Our clinical director reviews each inquiry personally and recommends a clinician whose background and approach fit what you are bringing in.
