Therapists for college students near Rice University

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor serving individuals across Texas via telehealth, and I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted—exactly as you are. Many of the people I work with come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or emotionally exhausted, often carrying the weight of trauma, anxiety/depression, or grief. You might feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, or weighed down by past experiences that still show up in the present. My role is to help you make sense of those experiences and move forward in a way that feels safe, supportive, and empowering. My approach is accepting, collaborative, and deeply empathic. Clients often share that they feel truly understood in our sessions—without judgment or pressure. I use EMDR alongside talk therapy to help process painful memories, so they hold less power over your day-to-day life. Together, we work toward making the weight of your past feel lighter. I was drawn to mental health work because I truly enjoy helping people reconnect with their strength. What continues to motivate my work is witnessing those moments when clients realize they don’t have to carry everything alone. If you’re looking for a therapist who will meet you with understanding & empathy, I’d be honored to support you on your journey.

I work with adults who may be struggling with adjustment issues, stress, anxiety, and depression. My approach to therapy is being open, empowering and meeting you where you are. The environment that I create is one of trust and peace. I want you to be yourself. My job is to create a safe space for you to communicate openly and freely in a trusting, nonjudgmental environment. I believe that you are the expert on all things you. Collaboration is key in our work together so that you can develop goals that are attainable, reflect your needs and strengths and enhance your life in a positive way.

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward? Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship struggles, identity questions, or anger that feels hard to control—I’m here to help. My style is warm, honest, and down-to-earth. Together, we’ll focus on what matters most to you and build practical tools to create lasting change, one step at a time.

Life can be hard. Extremely hard. Sometimes you can’t see your way out. It’s normal. When those hard moments in life come, I’m here to see you through to the other side of your pain. That’s the goal. The other side. I am the owner and lead therapist at Empowered Perspective. I am licensed in the state of Texas as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and received my master’s degree in Human Relations (the study of psychology, sociology, and anthropology) from the University of Oklahoma. The program provided a solid foundation in my journey to counseling. Before arriving here, I worked in Corporate America for over 12 years guiding individuals through their careers as a Global Talent Director. Although I was “successful” by many people's definition, I wasn’t fulfilled. That is when I decided to answer my “calling” and enter into the counseling profession. I am honored that God chose me to do this work. I work with teens, adults, couples, and families and couples suffering from a variety of issues such as depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, and grief. As your counselor, you will get someone who is authentic, straightforward, down-to-earth, and open-minded. My job is not to judge you or your actions. My job is to listen to you, encourage you, walk beside you, and yes, sometimes challenge your perspective. I work primarily from the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Spiritual/Transpersonal Therapy treatment modalities. In simple terms, CBT focuses on how thoughts influence our emotions and behavior. Spiritual Therapy focuses on the body, mind and health of a person’s spirit. It puts an emphasis on a person’s spiritual path or enlightenment during life. There is more to life than existing and living through the pain; more than being a mother, spouse, friend, employee, daughter, or son. Getting through the challenges and roadblocks can sometimes feel insurmountable and confusing. My goal is to help you see the beauty of life, find meaning, and sustainable joy. When you are ready, I am here to help.

Hi there! I’m Kat, a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate supervised by Lisa Grubbs, Ph.D, LPC-S. As your therapist, I'm here to be your greatest ally and #1 supporter in your journey toward self-discovery and growth. My approach to therapy centers around creating a safe and affirming space where you can be entirely yourself. I believe in the power of authenticity, and I encourage you to take up as much space as you need in our therapy room. Together, we'll navigate the complexities of your experiences with compassion and understanding. I specialize in working with adolescents, adults, Latine/Hispanic folx, and bilingual individuals (English/Spanish). My passion lies in helping clients increase their self-awareness, fostering self-acceptance, and empowering them to identify and meet their needs. In our work together, we'll explore strategies to set healthy boundaries, promoting a more fulfilling and balanced life. I recognize that each person's journey is unique, and I approach therapy with a commitment to meeting you where you are. My collaborative and strengths-based approach emphasizes the importance of building a therapeutic relationship grounded in trust and respect. Outside of the therapy room, you'll find me indulging in my love for horror movies and dad rock, nurturing my ever-growing collection of plants, crocheting, baking, and expressing myself through painting. I also have a black cat named Marvin who always strives to make my days interesting. Therapy is a personal exploration, and I'm here to provide guidance, support, and encouragement as you navigate the path towards a more fulfilling life.

My therapeutic approach centers on the holistic well-being of individuals, with a particular focus on working with millennial female clients. My aim is to facilitate, through a strengths-based approach, your therapeutic journey towards enhanced well-being and deeper insight into your thoughts and behaviors (as well as understanding the roots of our cognitive and behavioral patterns). While my therapeutic toolbox encompasses Reiki, EMDR, IFS, and mindfulness techniques, I customize therapy sessions to suit each individual, allowing for flexibility beyond these established frameworks. I'm licensed in CO, TX, MT, OR, ID, WY, WA, and FL.

Hi, I'm Ayesha! We all face mental health challenges at different points in life, and seeking clarity is often the first step toward healing. You may be experiencing low moods, intrusive thoughts, or body image distress—all of which can lead to feelings of anxiety, depression, stress, and fatigue. Sadly, many people suffer in silence, avoiding the deeper work needed to shift unhelpful thinking patterns. This can create a cycle of guilt, shame, and unworthiness that reinforces emotional and behavioral struggles. I’m here to help you break that cycle. Through evidence-based therapeutic interventions, I support clients in identifying and disrupting negative thought patterns, gaining new perspectives on themselves and their life experiences. Together, we’ll work to unlearn unhealthy beliefs, better understand your emotions, and develop healthy coping strategies to manage life's challenges more effectively. As a clinician, I offer a safe and non-judgmental space where you can grow, heal, and explore your emotional experiences. I lead with empathy, compassion, and validation, while also maintaining a goal-oriented approach to help you make lasting changes. My passion lies in helping individuals navigate mood disorders, stress-related issues, and eating disorders. If you're ready to take that first brave step, I’m here to walk alongside you. Reach out today, and let’s begin your journey to healing.

Through play therapy, even young children (ages 3+) can express big feelings in a safe and nurturing way. I support children experiencing family changes—such as divorce, separation, or parenting transitions—while helping them build coping skills, confidence, and healthy communication. I also work with teens and adults navigating stress, anxiety, life transitions, and self-worth challenges. My approach is encouraging, supportive, and focused on helping each client feel understood and empowered. Using play-based techniques and parent–child interaction strategies, I guide children in expressing emotions, developing self-regulation, and improving interactions at home and school. I also offer parents practical tools and psychoeducation to continue the progress outside the therapy room. For clients who wish to incorporate faith or spirituality into their healing, I provide an integrated approach that honors and supports those values. Whether you’re seeking support for your child, teen, or yourself, I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward growth, healing, and emotional well-being.
