Individual Psychotherapy

You might be seeking therapy because you are struggling with your stage in life, your feelings, or your relationships. You may feel as though you should be happy but you keep getting stuck in feelings of isolation, worry, or guilt. This experience may be weird or unsettling because you never used to be this way, or maybe you’ve been experiencing this way too long and you’re numb to your own suffering.

Psychodynamic psychotherapy can help because it is a space for you to be heard, understood, and known. It is an opportunity to explore these parts of yourself and your life that are confusing or dissatisfying. Goals in psychotherapy are different for each individual: relieving distress, processing trauma, gaining insight or clarity, feeling supported, developing strategies or solutions, or experiencing a new relational dynamic. Our therapists are trained to listen to your words and the things you don’t yet know how to say and be with you in the process of change.

We have availability for online therapy in Texas, Washington, and California and in-person sessions in the Galleria area of Houston and Lower Queen Anne (an ideal location for anyone living or working in Seattle). We specialize in working with adolescents, young adults, and professionals.

We will reflect on who you are and give you space to explore who you want to be.

The therapists are Relational Psych all specialize in psychodynamic therapy. We believe that while your current issues are contributing to your current distress, it is unlikely that they are completely separate from other experiences you’ve had throughout your life. Psychodynamic psychotherapy is a research-supported approach that focuses on experiencing emotions, being known in relationships, and developing insight of past experiences.

While a result of psychodynamic psychotherapy can be symptom reduction, we have a priority to go deeper than symptoms. This approach prioritizes increased self-understanding, emotional capacity, satisfaction in relationships, integrated sense of self, and psychological strengths. We are committed to providing trauma-informed, culturally-competent, ethical, and professional care every time.

Our team of therapists have been trained in many theoretical orientations (e.g., EMDR, DBT, EFT, the Gottman method, & CBT), and integrate some of these approaches within a psychodynamic approach because it facilitates the greatest and longest-lasting change. In our commitment to this depth approach, Relational Psych therapists have a high value for being in therapy themselves and regularly participating in ongoing consultation, study, and training.
