Therapists in Sugar Land, TX

I specialize in MEN'S issues, with several years of experience providing mental health services, primarily to Men. I believe everyone has the potential for change when provided optimal psychoeducation, a space to be vulnerable, and individualized therapies that are driven by genuine warmth and support. Men historically do not seek mental health services because of stigma, fear of not being understood, and limited numbers of male therapists who "get" them. MEN’s issues can include mental health and wellness, self-care practices, relationship problems, healthy relationship skills, depression, stress, anxiety, crisis management, anger management, career exploration, and academic concerns. What makes an issue a “MEN’s issue” depends on how it was developed. MEN’s issues are developed within a context (such as family raised in, time period, culture, or geographical area). Such contexts have the potential to define behavior as something a man would or would not do. These definitions can be limiting and unhelpful. They can restrict the problem-solving ability of Men in situations that require more flexible and adaptive responses. Anger and irritability: Often, Men are taught to hide more vulnerable emotions such as hurt or sadness and instead express anger and lash out. This may be the only way they have learned to communicate they are hurting. However, anger can have disastrous effects on relationships. Learning how to communicate hurt and sadness effectively can facilitate an opportunity for repair and even strengthen relationships. Psychotherapy can help Men let go of problematic anger and express the vulnerability needed to have fulfilling relationships. Numbing or pushing away emotions: Some MEN may have been raised in environments where the very experience of emotion was unacceptable. This can result in attempts to avoid or control emotions. For example, ending relationships, devaluing the importance of loved ones, or keeping people at a distance can be ways to avoid uncomfortable feelings. Unfortunately, these attempts to control emotions can result in even more problems and even more difficult emotions. Therapy can help men identify, learn to deal with, and effectively express emotions in more adaptive ways and help preserve and strengthen relationships.

I have worked as a psychotherapist for 30 years, with most of my experience in community mental health centers, where I work with chronically and severely mentally ill individuals in an outpatient setting. I worked for 3-1/2 years in a residential treatment setting with severely abused and traumatized children and adolescents. I have also been an adjunct professor of psychology for the University of Houston for 22 years. I worked as a Masters level therapist for several years before earning my Ph. D. in psychology in 1998. Although I consider myself to be primarily a cognitive behavioral therapist, I am also comfortable with interpersonal, client-centered, and Christian counseling modalities. It is my belief that each person has the answers they need for a happy and productive life within themselves, and that my role as a therapist is to help each client find those answers. I believe that all therapy should be based on the core values of empathy, genuineness, and unconditional positive regard. I provide a counseling setting which is accepting, non-judgmental and geared toward the personal growth of each client.
