Therapists in Texas

Greetings to you and all With a wish for good health and peace in your life. My name is Sherby John. I have been working and learning along this journey, we call life, just as you have. It can be a journey filled with joy and struggle. Have you reached a point where it seems there is more struggle than joy or feel stuck in the muck that seems to only get deeper or harder to transgress? Then maybe it is time to find new paths and options by having a guide on this journey. Therapy can be a vehicle for change and development of workable tools to assist in continuing with this journey. Whether you are dealing with Depression, Life changes, Anxiety, Relationships, Trauma, or a new medical or mental health diagnosis, therapy can be a useful mechanism for support, discernment, and information. I would like to provide you with a safe and welcoming environment and space to relieve yourself of these stressors through working on alternatives to current reactions to triggers or stressors in the way of continuing your journey, your way and at your own pace. Come in. Lets Talk. Lets get to work.

Hello Friend and WELCOME to my practice Pragmatic Solutions Therapy, PLLC! My name is Monica. I am an experienced psychotherapist with 20 plus years of experienced. I've worked in private practice and/or clinical hospital settings and now own my own thriving practice. I have passion, dedication and ethical standards I uphold with every client. My basic mantra in life is simple: Drop the baggage and take the value. Step out of the box and if you can't change the problem, then change the way you see using a different perspective. Everyone at one point or another in life may experience a host of unbearable stressors that leaves one feeling stressed or 'out of sorts'. We may even describe that feeling as 'lost in a web of frustration', with feelings such as anxious, fatigue, sadness. As if our unique threshold is completely depleted. Feeling anxious is normal. Feeling stressed is actually a sense of determination to gain back control and that tiredness is only temporary. Anxiousness is innate in all of us. What's not healthy is when stressors crosses the threshold to what feels comfortable, interrupts our daily habits/responsibilities to 'fix things'; find ourselves in solitude. I’ll help you navigate the web of confusion to find empowerment. My journey began as a young child whose home was a host of struggles which provided insight into what we all experience. Inspired by a helper, I became a psychotherapist, worked in a clinical setting, garnered a vast amount of knowledge which helped me to specialize in various modalities of treatment. As a psychotherapist, I hold a high standard for myself and clients, which includes helping those dealing w/depression, grief, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, chronic health and other issues. Together, we'll identify what's not working, find solutions you can innately use, form goals without rescripting your life.

I enjoy helping people work through the challenges of today's world as we take the journey together to get you to where you want to be in your life.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who integrates faith and evidence-based counseling approaches to support clients in finding hope and healing. My heart is to walk alongside women, teens, young adults, and families as they navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, and life transitions. In my work, I create a safe, compassionate space where clients can share openly and begin to see God’s grace and strength at work in their lives. By blending practical tools from CBT and DBT with Christian principles, I help clients build resilience, discover healthy coping skills, and grow in both confidence and faith. My goal is to meet you where you are and journey with you toward healing, wholeness, and purpose.

Hi, I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. I received my Master's from Lamar University in Beaumont Texas. I have been practicing for less than 5 years. I am a practical, and down-to-earth individual. As a clinician, I help families, young adults, couples, and individuals by providing a safe and non-judgmental space for them to explore their thoughts and feelings. My approach to therapy is compassionate and client-centered, focusing on their unique needs and goals.

Hello, I'm Mari. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience in working with various age groups, from children, adolescence, and adults to geriatrics. I help men, women, and children work through different struggles of life, such as, school, work, and relationships. I specialize in cognitive behavior therapy to work through anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, and addiction. I help individuals gain control of their thoughts, their feelings and emotions; and bring them to a world of empowerment and strength to overcome many of lifes difficulties. The only way to get past it, is to go through it with support, compassion, and understanding. Some coping practices are mindfulness, art therapy, grounding, relaxation breathing, and journaling. I will listen to you and guide you through self reflection to gain awareness and insight in identifying the causes to your struggles. Everyone needs a therapist! Everyone experiences life troubles and difficulties. Getting through life is about the relationships we build and the most important one is the one with yourself because YOU ARE IMPORTANT and YOU MATTER! In our session together, you will be met with genuiness, care, and compassion to provide a safe place for healing and growth. You deserve this for yourself! I look forward to working with you and unveiling your brilliance and strength.

Do you struggle with people-pleasing, low self-worth, or painful relationships that leave you feeling like you’ve lost yourself? Maybe you grew up in a family that looked “fine” on the outside but left you with invisible scars of trauma. You might find yourself replaying old patterns—turning to food, restriction, or overexercise to cope, feeling guilty when you try to set boundaries, or wondering why you keep choosing partners who don’t treat you well. If you’re exhausted from trying to hold it all together while doubting yourself inside, therapy can help you finally break free.
