Contemplative Psychotherapy Therapists in Pasadena, TX

Stonebriar Counseling Associates (SCA) is purposefully passionate in providing quality psychotherapy from a professional perspective that influences the treatment of psychological, emotional, and mental health issues.

Whether you are dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, or relationship distress as an individual or a couple, I'll treat you with compassion using the most recent evidence-based research. Using an integrative approach, I tailor therapy to fit each client’s unique personality and their specific goals. If you’re struggling with unhelpful thinking patterns, we’ll work together to discover these thoughts and understand what led you astray. I’ll also help you develop a plan to improve your well-being. If you feel stuck with your goals, I can assist you in learning to accept your experiences and circumstances, particularly those that are beyond your control. If you’re questioning your life choices and purpose, we’ll delve into your existential questions and their emotional impact. My aim is to enhance your overall well-being and support you in achieving what’s most important to you.

I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2016 and have spent the majority of my career working with the LBGT+ population. I enjoy working with clients who are motivated for change by using a diverse range of therapy models so that I can tailor the experience for each individual person.

Dr. Jenny Shields specializes in supporting healthcare providers, executives, and high-achieving professionals who feel overwhelmed, burned out, or stuck—especially those who’ve dedicated their careers to caring for others while quietly neglecting their own well-being. Her approach is deeply rooted in evidence-based behavioral science, balanced with genuine warmth, empathy, and down-to-earth candor. Known for quickly pinpointing core issues, Dr. Shields offers clarity and practical tools to help clients step out of survival mode and into meaningful, lasting change—reclaiming their sense of self, purpose, and professional fulfillment.

I am a highly trained psychotherapist and pastoral counselor who has been working in the field for over twenty-five years. I offer compassionate and caring counseling for those who are struggling with a variety of life issues. I am a spiritually-integrated therapist who draws from many spiritual and religious traditions in my care for people.

Pasadena is an industrial city southeast of Houston whose economy is dominated by petrochemical refining and manufacturing along the Houston Ship Channel, and the mental health landscape here is shaped by the occupational stresses, environmental anxieties, and working-class pressures of a community built around the energy industry. The city has a large and growing Latino population, and Spanish-language therapy is increasingly important to meeting the mental health needs of the community. Harris County's public mental health system extends to Pasadena, though private therapy options are more limited than in central Houston. Common therapy concerns include anxiety, depression, workplace and occupational stress, family and relationship difficulties, and the particular pressures of living in a community where industrial safety and environmental quality are ongoing concerns.
