Thavone Huinil-Phommavongsa
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW, CAADC, Certified Imago Relationship Therapist, Hypnotherapist
Relationships can be a source of deep connection and, at times, significant struggle. I work with couples and partners who feel disconnected, stuck in repeating patterns, or impacted by conflict, betrayal, or life transitions. Using Imago Relationship Therapy, I help couples communicate more effectively, rebuild emotional safety, and strengthen connection. This work supports partners in understanding one another more deeply and creating relationships rooted in empathy, clarity, and resilience.

Pastoral Counselor/Therapist, MA, CPRS
Marriage is God’s first covenant with man, but it can come with its own set of challenges. Knowing God’s will for marriage can help bring harmony into the relationship. Having a toolbox to use can be invaluable to couples.

Chuck Gray, Ph.D.
Psychologist
Rather than limit counseling to only one approach, I offer my clients what I think is best specifically for them from a wide array of expert approaches in my marriage and other counseling. In addition to leading seminars to train other professionals in marriage counseling, I have benefited by receiving extensive professional training from most of the leading marriage counseling experts in the country, including but not limited to John Gottman, Susan Johnson, John Gray, Harville Hendrix, Virginia Satyr, Ellyn Bader and Peter Pearson, Gary Brainard, Frank Pittman, Shirley Glass, Janice Abrahms Spring, and Neil Jacobson. In conducting counseling, I am fortunate to be able to choose from numerous resources including principles from Gottman's research, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Mars & Venus Counseling, Imago Therapy, Positive Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, Systems Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Rogerian Therapy, Integrative Therapy, Humanistic Therapy, Transactional Analysis, Reality Therapy, Rational Emotive Therapy, Gestalt Techniques, NLP, and EMDR. I also offer counseling tools that I personally developed here in Houston.

Amira Doucette
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, LLP, NCC
I find the core issue of many relationship problems to be communication difficulties. When couples feel heard, empathized with and validated by each other, it's amazing how quickly their connection deepens. Combating what often feels like gridlock problems also becomes much easier. My therapy style when working with couples is both educational and practical. I rely heavily on the Gottman Method, which is a science-based technique.

Josh Murray- Hopeful Minds
Psychologist, MA, LLP
Relationship counseling, also known as couples counseling or couples therapy, is a type of psychotherapy that focuses on helping people improve their romantic relationships. By working with a therapist, couples can explore issues in their relationship, work on their communication, improve interactions, and resolve conflicts.
While relationship counseling is often used to address problems, it can be helpful at any stage of a relationship. People in healthy, happy relationships can still benefit from counseling that strengthens communication and connection.
