Our counselors provide therapy in Houston, TX

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than nine years of experience helping adults navigate anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, emotional overwhelm, and patterns that leave them feeling stuck. I work especially well with clients who want more than a place to vent—they're looking for practical insight, clearer direction, and tools they can apply in everyday life. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, recognize patterns shaping your choices, and create meaningful, sustainable change.

My approach is practical, collaborative, and focused on making emotional and psychological concepts easier to understand. I use skill-based strategies for emotional regulation, trauma processing, cognitive reframing, mindfulness, and behavioral change. You can expect honest conversation, curiosity, humor, and tools tailored to how you think and live.

You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. We can begin where you are, make sense of what's been weighing on you, and work toward changes that feel realistic and meaningful. If you're ready for a supportive, practical space focused on moving forward, I encourage you to schedule an appointment.

Hi, I'm Robin. I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, eating disorders, relationship concerns, life transitions, self-esteem, and stress. Whether you're seeking healthier coping skills, greater confidence, healing from difficult experiences, or personal growth, I'm committed to creating a compassionate space where you feel supported, understood, and empowered to move forward.

I take a collaborative, strengths-based approach that helps clients better understand themselves, develop healthier coping skills, and navigate life's challenges with confidence. Together, we'll identify patterns, build practical strategies, and work toward meaningful, lasting growth.

Wherever you are in your journey, you don't have to face it alone. If you're ready to take the next step, I'd be honored to provide a supportive space where you can heal, grow, and move forward with confidence.

Deanna Ball is a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor, with over 20 years of experience. She is passionate about working with the LGBTQ+ community as well as addiction issues. She is a Sex Therapist as well as an Anger Resolution Therapist. Deanna specializes in depression, grief, sexual health, LGBTQ+ issues, and substance abuse (addiction) issues.

Deanna had two Master's degrees from Grand Canyon University, one in Professional Counseling and the other in Addiction Counseling. She is currently attending the University of Metaphysical Science and has achieved her Bachelor's in Metaphysics and has recently submitted her Master's Thesis and will soon be awarded her Master of Metaphysical Science degree. After that, she will pursue her Ph.D. in Metaphysical Science.

Deanna's background in addiction has molded her to be more direct & assertive in her approach. She doesn't hold back when giving feedback. Many clients say they appreciate the fact she's direct and tell it as she sees it. She won't hold your hand, but she will walk beside you. Many counselors do not have the addiction counseling specialty, several clients do not realize the effects addiction has had in their life; as they may have been raised in that environment & have no issues with drugs/alcohol personally. If you have been affected by addiction please reach out.

I'm Carrie, and I'm a licensed professional counselor. I graduated from Lamar University in August 2024 with a master's degree in counseling and development, and I earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Houston–Downtown in 2012 with a major in psychology and a minor in sociology. I have worked in the field for about 14 years. I am a boy mom and cat lover—I have four sons (two of my own and two bonus) and a husband who keeps me on my toes. I work with clients of all ages and various concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, parenting, and more. 

Different experiences throughout my life have led me to want to help others. Above all, being the daughter of a beloved father who struggled with addiction, dealing with trauma, and the intense grief from his passing have been the major driving forces of my motivation. I have an integrative approach to counseling and hope to grow with you at Thriveworks, offering a safe space to work toward your goals while guiding and empowering you. 

My goal is to offer a safe, warm, nonjudgmental space for you to share, grow, and feel encouraged. I hope you will take the next step by scheduling an appointment today. You've got this—I can't wait to connect!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 8 years of experience helping adults navigate life’s challenges. I began my career in applied behavior analysis with children on the autism spectrum before transitioning to work with eating disorders, mood disorders, and anxiety. Through these experiences, I learned how deeply our emotions, bodies, and stories are connected and how healing begins when we feel truly seen and supported.

I use cognitive processing therapy for PTSD, cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy to support lasting change.
