ART Therapists in Houston, TX

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.

I work with 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 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 existential, blending psychotherapy with enduring philosophical ideas to help you make sense of yourself, your relationships, and your place in the world. Our work will focus on self-responsibility, recognizing your limitations, and enacting your personal freedom. I guide men to face what they’ve been avoiding, reconnect with their values, and respond to life with intention. With compassion and honesty, I offer no shortcuts. Together, we'll face difficult truths without ignoring the realities of your life. Your distress isn’t evidence that something is wrong with you, it is often a signal that something meaningful is asking for your attention. Together, we slow down, make sense of it, and decide what kind of life you want to lead. If you’re ready to stop reacting to life, understand yourself more deeply, and take intentional steps forward, please reach out.

If you feel overwhelmed by stress, stuck in spirals of anxiety or depression, uncertain about how to navigate a life transition, or disconnected in your relationship, you are not alone—and change is possible. Many of my clients are high-functioning individuals who appear to manage well on the outside but feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck internally. Some are professionals dealing with job trauma, individuals navigating difficult life transitions, or people who find themselves overthinking, feeling emotionally drained, struggling with motivation and low mood, or committed couples caught in patterns of miscommunication and feeling disconnected. I help individuals and couples in Katy and the West Houston area find relief from anxiety, depression, stress, job-related trauma, and relationship challenges. Using Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) combined with practical cognitive and mindfulness-based strategies, I help clients process distressing experiences, reduce emotional overwhelm, and develop healthier ways of thinking, communicating, and responding to stress. Many clients find this approach helpful when traditional talk therapy alone has not fully resolved lingering anxiety, stress, or emotional triggers.

Everything is just so hard. My child is out of control. I am so tired of feeling this way. These types of statements often reflect the type of feelings Kelly's clients have.

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.
