Dr. Vincent Dyer - Dyer Psychology, Inc
Psychologist, PsyD
Most of the people I work with are functioning — sometimes very well — but privately aware that something deserves real attention. That might be burnout, grief, anxiety that doesn't have an obvious source, a relationship under strain, or a growing sense that who they are and who they've become don't quite line up.
What they have in common isn't a career level or a specific presenting problem. It's that they're serious about understanding what's actually going on — not just getting through it.
My practice is private pay and selective. I also conduct comprehensive psychological evaluations for adults, including ADHD assessment and diagnostic clarification. I hold a PSYPACT license, meaning I'm authorized to provide telehealth therapy across 40+ states — the full list is above.
If this sounds like where you are, a brief consultation is a low-stakes way to find out if we're a good fit.

Vada Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
At Vada Counseling, all of our therapists are queer and/or trans, and we bring that lived experience into every session. We understand the realities you’re navigating, and you won't have to explain, defend, or translate your identity or experiences. Our work is grounded in liberation, cultural humility, and care that rejects pathologizing frameworks.
We focus on collaborative, transparent therapy where consent, autonomy, and shared power lead the way. Clients come to us when they want support that recognizes trauma, identity, and systemic harm without losing sight of individual strengths and self-determination. If you’re looking for care rooted in decolonizing and anti-carceral values, Vada Counseling offers a space where you can simply be, and be understood.

Tamara C. Taylor
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC, MCHC, ASDCS
As a Licensed Professional Counselor with board certification, Master Certified Health Coach and Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist with 19+ years of experience, I want to hear your story. Why? Because it is your story and you deserve to tell it. Your story could be about happiness, love, hurt, anger, stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions and grief just to name a few. Sometimes all anyone wants to do is tell someone caring and compassionate their perspective regarding their story. As a therapist, I believe in giving everyone I meet a clean, unbiased slate. No judgment here. I will use a holistic (mind and body), open-minded and solution-focused approach in assisting anyone in telling their story, processing the events and moving forward with their life goals. I will support and at times coach you on practical ways to build tools to help you navigate this thing we call life.

34 Years Experience
Online in Houston, TX Texas (Online Only)
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.
