Real Therapy for Real People
Online Therapy for Houston
We are based in the Houston area and see clients only by telehealth, so you can skip the traffic.
Is This You?
You might be thinking:
- "I don't have time to fight traffic for an appointment."
- "I want a counselor who gets what it's like to be Black in Houston."
- "I want my family's culture understood, not explained away."
- "I need an evening or weekend time."

No Commute, No Waiting Room
Houston traffic can turn a one-hour session into a three-hour afternoon. With telehealth, you log on from home or from a private room at work.
We serve Houston, Bellaire, Pearland, Sugar Land, Missouri City, Katy, Cypress, The Woodlands, Spring, Humble, Pasadena and League City.
What We Help With
- Trauma and PTSD
- Relationship and marriage concerns
- Depression and anxiety
- Family conflict
- Grief and big life changes
- Sessions in Spanish
How We Work
Culturally sensitive
Care shaped for Houston's Black, Latino, African and Caribbean, and Asian communities, and everyone else too.
Matched to fit
We match you by what you bring and honor your preferences where we can.
At your pace
You decide what to talk about and when.
