INDIVIDUAL THERAPY

Feeling lost, unbalanced, depressed, hopeless, or even empty inside?

Perhaps you feel like it’s all getting to be “too much”. Whether you are suffering from something temporary or chronic, psychotherapy can help.

Negative emotions can affect our daily lives if we allow them to. These emotions may be anger, sadness, guilt, shame, etc.  It can leave us feeling down and overwhelmed, causing anxiety and may drive us to behave in ways we normally wouldn’t.

Don’t let your negative thinking get the best of you. Center For Change & Well-Being can help. Our goal is to help you find and create your motivation and new hope for yourself… to build that life worth living!

Is Psychotherapy only available in Houston?

You can take the first step toward individual therapy today — now serving clients in Houston, Texas, and Charlotte, North Carolina. Contact me today to begin your journey.

LGBTQ issues

Infidelity/Affairs

Life can throw many unexpected curve balls and it can often become very overwhelming.

My goal is to help you find and create your motivation to build that life worth living!

Struggling from negative thoughts? Having difficulty sleeping? Feeling Down or Overwhelmed?

Coping with life changes, loss of a partner or relationship, and past unresolved trauma could lead us to feel anxious and depressed. Individual therapy can help. If you are feeling like these unresolved issues are interfering on your daily routine, together we can determine the best therapy treatment to help you live the life you deserve.

Negative emotions, feelings, and thoughts can overwhelm us on many levels, both emotionally and physically. Sometimes symptoms of both anxiety and depression can be present, making you feel more helpless and stuck inside.  Learn more about the symptoms of depression and anxiety.

Are you or someone you love suffering from Depression and Anxiety?

Psychotherapy can help. Call for a free 20-minute consultation.

Self-Esteem Issues?

 You deserve to be happy. Having low self-esteem makes it easy to fall into depression, an abusive relationship, and feel lost in your life making it even harder to improve your self-worth.

Together we can strengthen your self-love, find yourself, and unveil your self-identity. The first step will be to learn more about your own boundaries, likes, dislikes, wants, and needs.

Nobody is perfect, and nobody is expecting you to be perfect. Failures and mistakes are part of life. I am committed to helping you increase your self-esteem in a safe and trusting non-judgmental environment.

About Houston TX:
Houston, known as the “Bayou City,” seamlessly blends history, geography, and culture. Founded in 1836 at Allen’s Landing on Buffalo Bayou, the city grew from a riverside settlement into a global hub. Geographically, Houston lies on the flat Gulf Coastal Plain, enabling its sprawling layout and dominating skyline, which features architectural feats like the 1,002-foot JPMorgan Chase Tower—the tallest in Texas—as well as the Wells Fargo Plaza and Williams Tower.
Culturally, Houston is a living mosaic of global influences—over 145 languages are spoken here—yielding a world-class culinary scene from Tex-Mex and Southern soul food to Vietnamese, Indian, and African cuisines. The arts thrive in the Houston Theater District, one of only five U.S. cities with permanent resident companies in all major performing-arts disciplines; the Alley Theatre is a Tony-winning institution, and the Houston Grand Opera boasts a trio of Grammy, Tony, and Emmy awards.
Historical and cultural landmarks anchor the city’s identity. Space Center Houston (NASA’s official visitor center) anchors its reputation as “Space City,” inviting visitors to explore mission control and real spacecraft (Houston Online Magazine). Nearby in the Museum District, institutions like the Museum of Fine Arts (founded 1900) and the Houston Museum of Natural Science (with over 1.5 million visitors in 2022) draw global audiences with art, paleontology, and planetarium exhibits. Hermann Park, donated in 1914, offers restorative green space right beside cultural gems and has received acclaim for its landscape design.
For history buffs, sites like the towering San Jacinto Monument—the world’s tallest war memorial—and the adjacent Battleship Texas bring to life pivotal moments in independence and conflict. The Heritage Society in Sam Houston Park preserves the 19th-century homes that trace Houston’s early growth. The Buffalo Bayou Cistern, a 1920s underground reservoir turned eerie arts venue, and the Rothko Chapel, a contemplative modern-art space, add unexpected layers to the cultural landscape. Additionally, the Third Ward Cultural District includes Emancipation Park and Project Row Houses—essential commemorations of Black heritage and resilience (Condé Nast Traveler).
Annual events and accolades further elevate Houston’s allure. The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, the world’s largest, attracts nearly 2.7 million visitors with rodeo, music, carnival thrills, and culinary delights (Wikipedia). The city has earned recognition from Forbes, TripAdvisor, CNN, Travel + Leisure, and others as a top travel destination and a rising star among major cities. A 2025 Resonance report ranked Houston 11th in desirability, citing job opportunities, diversity, and nightlife, while tourism reached a record 53.9 million visitors.
Houston’s culinary prestige is also on the rise. Several local eateries earned Michelin stars in the inaugural Texas guide, and the city will host the 2025 Michelin awards ceremony, drawing attention to its diverse and dynamic food scene.
In summary, people travel to Houston for its groundbreaking role in space and energy, immersive museums and green spaces, globally influenced dining, award-winning arts, powerful historical landmarks, and vibrant festivals and culture. It’s a city where innovation meets heritage, and where every visit opens a new door.

  • Safe, confidential space to explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors

Individual therapy is often referred to by other names, depending on the context or professional approach:

  • One-on-one therapy

  • Personal counseling

  • Talk therapy

  • Psychotherapy (when provided by a licensed mental health professional)

Regardless of the term, the focus remains on supporting the individual client in a confidential setting.
