Jonathan Hock -- Therapy for Men
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I work with adult men who feel stuck, burned out, or disconnected from themselves, often after years of carrying responsibility, stress, or unresolved trauma alone. Many of the men I see have learned to keep pushing forward without stopping to reflect. As a U.S. Army combat veteran, I understand that mindset firsthand. Over time, this can lead to emotional numbness, irritability, and a loss of direction or purpose.
My approach is grounded in honesty, accountability, and reflection. I help clients step out of autopilot and take a more intentional role in their lives. Together, we explore how past experiences and identity shape present struggles, and what it means to move forward with clarity and self-responsibility. I specialize in working with men navigating purpose, identity, stress, trauma, and emotional disconnection.
What you are experiencing is not a personal failure. It is often a signal that something important is asking for your attention. In our work, we slow things down, make sense of what is beneath the surface, and decide how you want to live. If you are ready to understand yourself more deeply and take ownership of your direction, I invite you to reach out.

Matthew Jones
Licensed Professional Counselor, MSCC, LPC
I began to pursue being a therapist because it is a source of healing and understanding and I want to help nurture that in others. I believe in paying it forward. There is a need to provide affordable and accessible mental health care. Therapy is a tool by which people can grow in the understanding of themselves and the world around them. IT is important to provide ethical and reliable care to those who want and need it. I try to guide the patient through the therapeutic experience by providing REST (Respect, Equality, Safety, and Trust.) This is one of the basic principles that I believe creates a healthy relationship. Come join me a safe space.

Elizabeth Ssemanda
Psychiatrist, MD PhD MMSc
Unlike most psychiatrists today, I offer both medication management and therapy, all in one place. What sets me apart is my holistic approach: from the very first session, we dive into breathwork, a lifestyle assessment, and a full psychiatric evaluation. You don't have to wait to start feeling better.

Amority Health - Rachel Cooper
Therapist, MS, LPC Associate
If you’re in the loop of constantly striving to get things “right,” struggling to say no, or feeling anxious and burned out from trying to keep up with everything, it can start to feel overwhelming to maintain.
You may find yourself overthinking decisions, being highly self-critical, or feeling like you can’t quite settle, even when things are going well. Over time, these patterns can become mentally exhausting and difficult to shift.
In session, we focus on understanding what’s driving these patterns and aim to develop a more flexible, sustainable way of thinking, responding, and relating to yourself.

Scot Seitz
Psychologist, PhD
I work with individuals and couples across multiple states (via telehealth) who are seeking support for various mental health challenges. Many of my clients have difficulties related to anxiety, depression, relationships, and/or trauma that get in the way of enjoying life and thriving to their fullest potential. I also work with people who are diagnosed with OCD, schizophrenia/bipolar disorders, and related conditions. I will work with you to develop goals for therapy and a plan to attain those goals. I provide a tailored therapy experience by utilizing a variety of evidence-based approaches, including CBT, acceptance and commitment therapy, exposure and response prevention (ERP), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), emotion-focused couples therapy, and the Gottman Method. Overall, I seek to empower you with the skills to live a meaningful life based on your personal goals and values.

As a counselor, I am dedicated to creating a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and life experiences with honesty and intention. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process—one that empowers you to deepen self-understanding, break free from limiting patterns, and cultivate greater resilience, clarity, and connection.
I draw from a range of evidence-based approaches tailored to your unique needs, whether you're facing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck or overwhelmed. My work is grounded in respect, empathy, and the belief that meaningful change happens when you feel seen, heard, and supported.

Sara Pesic
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC, CCTP
In years of practicing counseling and doing my own training and research, I have learned that besides knowing "Why" it is also important to know "How." I find many people knowing where their trauma or problem is coming from, but they are still not able to move forward and resolve the issue. My focus is on understanding the client's challenges and then helping them move forward with practical and manageable steps.

Jennifer Pinkerton
Therapist, M.S., LMFT, CTP, C-PD
If you have unresolved trauma it can prevent you from having connections with others and inhibit your ability to function optimally in relationships. Trauma responses can force you into adaptive functions that leave you feeling stuck. In therapy, the emotional healing work can be done on your inner child to create new narratives and establish positive self-regard. Often people are driven by unprocessed emotions that keep you in a reactive cycle when you are merely seeking secure and loving connections. We can work together to resolve the pain you are feeling and address what you want and need out of your life, your relationships, and yourself. It is never too late to develop resiliency and transform your life. I provide a non-judgmental space to share with safety and compassion and consider it I privilege to understand your experience.

I strive to understand your story—not just your symptoms—and to partner with you in creating a plan that aligns with your needs, values, and goals. To heal, we need to feel safe, heard, and empowered. You don’t have to navigate this alone. I’m here to walk with you, support you, and help you rediscover hope, strength, and stability on your path forward.

Amy-Noelle Shih
Licensed Professional Counselor, Relationship Therapist and Life Coach, LPC, MA
I am a relationship coach and therapist, with an intuitive gift for working with relational dynamics.
What I have learned as a relationship coach and therapist and as a human soul who loves LOVE and the magic of healthy relationships is that it’s not enough to:
❤️love spending time together
❤️share values
❤️have good chemistry
❤️laugh together
❤️have good conversation
❤️genuinely enjoy one another’s company
❤️admire each other’s qualities
❤️feel love.
Yes, all of this is very important.
But if there is a deficit in body intelligence, heart attunement, healthy emotional vulnerability, and self-awareness, the issue will almost always be the same.
Partners may believe the issue is the breakdown of one of the things mentioned above. When the truth is, even the “masters of relationships” have challenges, ruptures, moments of feeling hurt, disappointed, misunderstood. What becomes the salve of reconciliation is the capacity to gain understanding, for deep care of another’s feelings, and a genuine desire to find the sweet spot where empathy and validation become antidotes to stuckness.
As soon as one feels seen and heard, pent-up energy is released, defenses soften, and there is more love, freeing up the barriers to seeking ways to work it out. Which is to say, loving understanding is the solution to finding solutions!
When partners can feel like their feelings and what's on their hearts is worthy of being held with importance and tenderness, then everything becomes more possible. There is new motivation, receptivity, and selfless energy that fills the space between partners. Growth, feeling close, and deeper trust are forged beautifully.
But if partners have fragile egos, cannot practice healthy control of their reactions, choose communication patterns that create more distance and suffering, are not willing to see their part in conflict, and allow their own stories and assumptions to rule their hearts and minds rather than compassionate understanding, then growth and change stall and stagnate.
Without self-awareness and course correction, even what is great about the relationship starts to recede into the background as the pain and disappointment get louder and take center stage, until only negativity seems to run the show.

Erin Sizemore
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
I am passionate about working with adults and teenagers to combat symptoms of depression, anxiety, and overall stress. My favorite thing about therapy is its ability to empower clients to take control of their own lives, so that it can look more like the life they really want to be living. I work collaboratively with my clients to help identify where our beliefs and patterns have come from, so that we can change them into tools that better serve our goals. I am really all about my clients being the experts in their own lives, and tailoring your therapy experience to be the best fit for you!

Houston is one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the United States, and therapists here serve an extraordinarily wide range of cultural communities, with strong demand for bilingual and multicultural practitioners across its many distinct neighborhoods. The city's petrochemical industry and repeated major flooding events — including Hurricane Harvey — have made trauma, grief, and disaster recovery a persistent focus for many Houston therapists. Texas Medical Center, the largest medical complex in the world, provides an extensive institutional backdrop, with a large independent therapy community spread across the Heights, Montrose, and the Energy Corridor. Spanish, Vietnamese, Mandarin, Hindi, and Urdu-speaking therapists are all well represented in the Houston metro.
