I'm ready when you are.

Dr. Houben provides therapy that goes beyond merely treating symptoms and takes a depth-oriented perspective in order for us to examine root causes and incorporate enduring change. She views therapy as a collaborative process, focusing on the therapeutic relationship as a vehicle for self-exploration and change. She understands that your cultural background is an integral part of your identity, so she is dedicated to creating a safe, inclusive, and affirming therapeutic space. With a comprehensive approach to treatment, Dr. Houben recognizes that well-being encompasses the integration of mental, emotional, and physical aspects of health and considers the entirety of your being. In therapy, we will begin a collaborative journey together, exploring the depths of your experiences, fostering psychological flexibility, and facilitating profound personal growth. If you are ready to embrace on this transformative process, I am here to understand your lived experiences and provide you the support, guidance, and expertise you need. Together, we will embark on a path toward self-discovery, healing, and, incorporate lasting positive change.

I do my best to listen in the service of understanding and provide thoughtful responsiveness, which I have found helps my clients connect to their inner life and with others. Using gentle honesty and compassion, I value autonomy and collaboration to help people feel less alone while finding a sense of purpose within their lives and in the world.

I provide online therapy centered on personal growth and fulfillment. Recognizing that life's difficulties often prompt the search for a therapist, our work will address these immediate concerns while exploring the broader path to a meaningful life, uniquely defined by you. My approach integrates relational psychoanalysis, integral philosophy, and Eastern wisdom traditions, emphasizing mindfulness and compassion. I prioritize the present moment within our therapeutic relationship, using this focus as a means for reflection, insight, and transformation as we collaboratively create a space to understand the significant particular and universal experiences of your life.

If you are looking for a warm, genuine, queer-friendly and neurodiversity-affirming psychologist with extensive training in psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral approaches, I may be a good therapist for you. I take an individualized approach to understanding and treating my patients, and will focus first on making sure you feel heard, respected and safe in our meetings so we can work together on your healing and growth.

North Charleston is South Carolina's third-largest city and home to Joint Base Charleston—a major combined naval and air force installation—as well as a significant Boeing manufacturing facility and the Port of Charleston's main terminal operations, creating a community defined by military service, industrial employment, and logistics. The city has a large and historically rooted African-American community, and the intersection of military culture, Black community identity, and the legacy of a city situated near the site of both the start of the Civil War and the 2015 Emanuel AME Church shooting creates a psychologically complex community context. Trident Health's behavioral health programs and the Veterans Affairs system serve the military and veteran population alongside private practitioners. Common therapy concerns include military and veteran mental health, racial trauma and community grief, employment and economic stress, and the particular identity dynamics of a majority-minority city adjacent to the tourism-focused historic Charleston.
