Therapists in Texas

I am Brian Kees, a Board-Certified Psychotherapist. I have worked with individuals, groups, and families in private practice, hospitals, and addiction recovery centers. My therapeutic approach is eclectic. Depending on the individual and issue, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I believe every human is capable of leading a life that is meaningful and full of purpose.

Seeking therapy to address mental and emotional health is an empowering decision that will transform your life. Therapy helps build self-awareness of emotions, thoughts, behaviors and decision making. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, abandonment, anger, boundary issues, depression, family conflict, or grief, therapy will lead to healthier outcomes. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and graduate of University of Houston-Clear Lake. I have five years of experience in the mental health field, during this time I have worked with individuals from many different walks of life. Some of my experience includes individual and group therapy, family therapy and substance abuse/addiction recovery. My experience has inspired me and allowed me to better understand the world we live in. To best meet the specific and unique needs of each individual, often times an integrative approach is most helpful. This brings together different elements of specific therapies where I draw from client-centered, cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic approaches. As a Licensed Professional Counselor committed to the therapeutic process, it is essential that I ensure a positive and supportive therapeutic environment. In this space you will be free to express, explore, and begin to understand your feelings and how to process them. Learning to trust and honor your efforts to bring about healing and personal growth is a rewarding experience. If you are new to therapy or would like to return, you will not have to do it alone. I look forward to meeting and supporting you on your journey.

I have over three decades as a leader by inspiring, coaching, speaking, and most importantly, leading by example, my views have been uniquely and carefully shaped. I embrace my “in the trenches” clinical approach and believe that leadership is a conscious decision made moment to moment, it supersedes gender, culture, position, or socio-economic status. I enjoy sharing my knowledge with everyone and every day…it’s how we should live. I am often referred to as a “Professor” for my ability to teach a group how to bring hope out of questionable times. I use “Frame of references” to bring clarity to change real-life circumstances where the loss of hope and fear have been predominant. The fusion of my personal stories through conversation helps me connect with my audience and clients on an intimate, intense, and individual level. I have served as Chief Executive Officer and /or a Senior Consultant for public and privately traded Healthcare organizations. In addition to being a Licensed Psychotherapist, Licensed Marriage Therapist, and Licensed Family Therapist, Certified in Non-Violent Crisis Intervention, Certified Personal Trainer and past owner of Lake Houston Gym and Fitness, I am the author of Living in Green Pastures with Life Storys, a published inspiration/motivational book, and co-publisher of “Treatment Effectiveness in Adult Partial Hospitalization”. Before my leadership efforts, I was a competitive collegiate football athlete and a champion both nationally and internationally in bodybuilding, health and fitness. I currently hold over 27 titles in bodybuilding and have conducted numerous workshops on Wellness / Fitness. Finally, I am a former consulting therapist for the National Basketball Association and served on the board of advisors for The Shoulder, Inc., Harris County, and awarded past Outstanding Young Men in America. I look forward to meeting you and designing a plan to help you meet your personal goals now and in the future. The Best, Lawrence Story
