Psychoanalysis
Psychoanalysis in Texas and Across States
Most approaches to therapy ask what is wrong and how to fix it. Psychoanalysis asks different questions: what does this mean, and why does it keep happening? The symptoms, the relationships that follow the same pattern, the things you do despite knowing better: we make space for those to emerge slowly, in the presence of a clinician who listens differently.
Sessions are available in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, with psychoanalysists deeply trained in this approach. In person in Houston, online across Texas.
Our psychologists come from diverse cultural backgrounds, speak multiple languages, and have lived and worked in multiple countries and settings. We are attentive to how culture, migration, race, gender, identity, and social position 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 manualized treatments for trauma, OCD, and other conditions where protocol-driven work has a strong indication. 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, Cigna, United Healthcare/Optum, and Oscar. We 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.

Why Psychoanalysis
A psychoanalyst is formed through ongoing supervised clinical work, personal analysis, and engagement with a body of theory that takes unconscious life seriously.
A psychoanalytically trained clinician does not apply a protocol. Instead, they develop the capacity to sit with uncertainty and to work with open-ended questions.
For patients whose difficulties have not yielded to other approaches, or whose questions go deeper than symptom relief, it is often the most precise clinical tool available.
