Therapists near me in Pearland, TX

Greetings! I’m Dr. Renita Newton, and I'm so glad you’re here. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas with a Ph.D. in Counselor Education, and I’m honored to walk alongside individuals who are navigating life’s challenges and seeking deeper healing, clarity, and peace. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in compassion. I specialize in working with anxiety, stress management, and the everyday concerns that can sometimes feel overwhelming. Whether you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, or simply need space to breathe and be heard, I’m here to support you with empathy and care. In addition to traditional talk therapy, I’m a certified mindfulness meditation and sound healing practitioner. I integrate holistic practices when appropriate to help clients feel more grounded, centered, and empowered in their healing journey. Therapy with me is a judgment-free space where your story matters, your feelings are valid, and your growth is honored. If you’re ready to take that next step toward healing, I’m here—ready to meet you exactly where you are.

I’m a compassionate and experienced mental health professional dedicated to helping clients navigate life’s challenges and achieve personal growth. I specialize in evidence-based therapies, including CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed approaches, and work collaboratively to support emotional well-being, improve coping skills, and strengthen relationships. My approach is warm, nonjudgmental, and tailored to each individual’s unique needs. I look forward to our work together.

Hello, I'm Deborah Anderson. I've been a therapist for 20+ years. I went back to school following a medical retirement from the automotive industry. Due to being a non traditional student, I think I fell into what I was meant to do all along! My own personal life journey adds to the unique quality I bring to the therapeutic relationship.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with three years of experience, during which I’ve developed a strong sense of who I am as a therapist and what allows me to best support my clients. I strive to keep sessions light‑hearted so clients feel genuinely accepted, and I work intentionally to create a non‑judgmental, safe space where they can learn, grow, and become the best version of themselves, all within a therapeutic relationship grounded in trust and authenticity.

My approach is compassionate, trauma-informed, and rooted in helping clients understand the connection between their mind and body. Often, our thoughts, emotions, and physical responses tell a deeper story about our experiences. Together, we will explore those patterns in a safe and supportive space, helping you build insight, resilience, and practical tools for lasting change. My goal is not simply symptom relief, but empowerment — so you can better understand yourself, respond rather than react, and move forward with confidence and clarity.

Hi, I’m Myrakle Betancourt, LCSW. I’m a Certified Child and Adolescent Trauma Professional, a doctoral candidate, and the owner of The Myrakle Space. I created this practice with one belief at the center. You deserve a space where you don’t have to hold it all together all the time, and where your growth is taken seriously, gently, and personally. If you’re a young adult figuring out what comes next after high school, college, or a major life shift, I will work with you to sort through the overwhelm, the uncertainty, and the pressure of “having to have it all figured out.” If you’re a professional in a high-demand role, especially first responders or mental health providers, I can help you slow down, manage stress, and address burnout before it takes more from you than it already has. If you’re coming in as a couple or a family, I’m here to help you actually hear each other again. We work on communication, understanding generational differences, and rebuilding connection in ways that feel real, not forced. And if you’re a parent or child navigating school, behavior, or emotional challenges, I focus on giving you practical tools and support so things feel less reactive and more manageable. When you work with me, you’re not just getting strategies you’re getting a space where you can be honest about what’s really going on without judgment or pressure. My goal is to meet you where you are and walk with you as you build something healthier, steadier, and more aligned for your life.

What if you could write the story of your life? The truth is, you can, you are in control of your destiny, you are writing the story of your life right now. The choices you make are directly related to the thoughts you have. That puts you in control, you have the ability to change the way you think, and when you change the way you think, you change your life. The thoughts you are thinking right now are writing the story of your life. If you are not happy with the story, you can reprogram your thoughts to change the story and write it the way you want it to go. Together you and I can work to manage the challenges you are facing today. Therapy may seem scary or even overwhelming, but with the right partner you really can change your life. Together we will explore how your thoughts and the dimensions of wellness are affecting your life and find a path to change the story of your life, to one of positive emotional and mental well-being.
