Therapists for college students near Houston, TX

Life can be tough! At times we all face difficulties in our lives and struggle...but you don't have to struggle alone. I'm here to walk along side, provide guidance and assist you in identifying coping strategies to successfully overcome life's challenge. I have over 20 yrs of experience working in the social services field ensuring vulnerable individuals lives were free of abuse, neglect and exploitation. I've been an LPC for 9 yrs and have worked with clients ranging from school age to geriatric, in a variety of settings. My work history has provided me an opportunity to assist with a wide area of concerns. If you are looking for someone who can listen without judging, offer advice without criticizing and support in difficult times, please give me a call. Don't hesitate, I'm waiting to meet you where you are.

I have experience in working with a population that suffers with chronic diseases. I have helped clients that struggle with depression, anxiety, and overall adjusting to living with vast medical issues and co-morbidities. I have helped them adapt to their new lifestyles, and helped them to achieve their maximum quality of life possible. I have enjoyed working together with my clients to figure out their goals and desires.

Life is full of obstacles and challenges; sometimes, this can contribute to things feeling hopeless or out of control. Learning healthy tools to overcome and deal with these situations is an important part of mental health as well as physical health. I believe that all people have the potential to improve their situation; sometimes, they just need support to navigate those changes. I have been providing counseling services for 20+ years, and have spent many years working with adolescents and young adults dealing with trauma, domestic violence, and depression/anxiety concerns. Every client is different and unique. I strive to create a trusting and caring environment where you will feel heard and supported as I work to get to know your individual needs. I value questions and want to partner with you to help you achieve your goals. If you have been considering therapy or on the fence, I would encourage you to give it a try.

Do you feel like adulting is just too much sometimes? Especially when you're juggling finances, relationships, work, and all the things? What about feeling overwhelmed with emotions you can't name or even feeling completely disconnected mentally, emotionally, and physically? Do you find yourself doomscrolling at 3am, diagnosing with the latest TikTok symptoms or shaming yourself over LinkedIn comparisons?

Yeah, it's still showing up in your life today. I get it. I'm the opposite of a blank slate therapist. One who keeps it real—not just with a "yeah...okay...mmm" and nod.

I think being in university life carries with it many intricacies that are hard to nail down and navigate. Whether you are a first-generation college student or an older student entering college for the first or the last time, there are unique challenges for all. Not to mention the mental health support that is needed during this time. With 24 years in the education field, and having been through every level of education myself, I am here to listen and support. Let's talk! Lumen Nest Counseling, LLC.

My Ideal Client: You’re someone who feels deeply, overthinks often, and is trying to hold it all together—even when it’s hard. Whether you’re a teen navigating friendships and self-esteem, a parent trying to support your child through family conflict, or an individual feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or depression, you want support that’s real, compassionate, and effective. You may not have all the answers, but you’re open to exploring what’s next. You’re ready to feel heard, gain tools to cope, and take meaningful steps toward feeling more confident and connected.

Is something impeding you from reaching your full potential? Are you feeling stuck and overwhelmed? Are the ways that you've learned to deal with life no longer working? Life can be challenging but there are solutions. We can work together and empower you to identify goals and remove obstacles that may be preventing you from reaching your full potential and create more fulfilling relationships in your life. Together, we'll build healthier coping strategies, while transforming the impact of past experiences on your present. You will feel more in control, resilient, & empowered to handle life’s challenges. With experience in IFS , Brainspotting, ACT & CBT, Trauma Focused and other therapies I’ll help you heal and break free from patterns that no longer serve you. Previously I had a long career in business as a Chief Executive Officer & senior executive. I understand the personal, professional, family & relationship challenges that come with being a professional. I invite you to reach out and schedule a free 15-minute consultation. It’s a chance to discuss your goals, and see if I’m the right fit for your journey. You deserve the support that feels right for you.

Do you feel on edge, stuck in your head, or like you can’t fully connect with the people you care about? Maybe your chest tightens in conflict, or you shut down when things get too overwhelming. These are signs your nervous system is in overdrive—and it’s not your fault. Through integrative somatic and creative therapies, I’ll help you tune into your body, calm your system, and feel safer in yourself and your relationships.

The students I connect with most are often feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of where they’re headed. Many of them are juggling school, relationships, family pressure, and trying to figure out who they are — all at once. They may look like they have it all together, but inside, they're feeling anxious, burnt out, or like they’re falling behind. What they all have in common is a desire for change — even if they’re not sure what that change looks like yet. They’re open to talking things through, getting real about what’s going on, and learning how to take small, manageable steps forward. If this sounds like you, you’re not alone. Therapy is a space where we can figure things out together — no judgment, no pressure, just support and tools that actually make sense for your life.

You are 20 and you have already cried in three different bathrooms this semester. The friend group from freshman year quietly disappeared. The situationship is in its eighth round of "we are figuring it out." The professor who said your paper was "interesting" in a tone that meant something else has been living in your head for two weeks. You are tired in a way that sleep does not fix. I work with college aged women and young adults who are doing everything they were told to do and somehow feel further from themselves than they have ever been. The girls who got into college on perfectionism and are now watching that same perfectionism eat them alive. The ones who left a religious or controlling home and are realizing, in real time, what it actually cost them. The ones whose body image got worse, not better, when they got here. The ones who keep ending up in the same kind of relationship with a different person and cannot figure out why. The ones who looked around the dining hall and realized everyone else seems to have a friend group already and felt something crack a little. I do EMDR for trauma, which is the work I love most. It is especially useful when something specific from your past keeps showing up uninvited in your present. The breakup that should not still hurt this much. The thing that happened in high school you have never really told anyone. The childhood version of you who learned to make herself small and is still doing it. We can also just talk. My process is flexible and so am I. Some sessions are heavy. Some sessions you tell me about your week and we laugh. Both are doing real work. I am licensed in Oklahoma, Texas, and Massachusetts. If you are at school in one and home for the summer in another, we can keep going without starting over with someone new.

Yes, I'm just as funny as Melissa McCarthy! Going through a big change or feeling unsure about what’s next? I support young adults and people in transition—whether you’re starting something new, ending something old, or feeling stuck in between. I also work with clients of all ages and bring a warm, down-to-earth approach grounded in practical tools like CBT and solution-focused therapy. I’ve lived a lot of life—raised a family, worked in real estate and corporate settings—and I bring that perspective into the work we do together.

Are you stressed out, burnt out, overwhelmed, and just OVER IT? I'm here to provide a safe, therapeutic space for you to process your experiences. I work well with people who are overly anxious and have been told they're "overthinkers." Starting therapy can be daunting, but it doesn't have to be difficult. It doesn't have to be scary. Getting started is the hardest part, but once you're in, you'll be able to jump in and learn new tools, process your emotions, and just VENT sometimes. You need someone on your side who can GET you. Someone who wants to help you and understand you. Email me to get started because I'd love to meet! I provide virtual counseling for residents of Texas, Colorado, and Oklahoma, and I'm available evenings and weekends!

Seeking a safe place to land when you have nothing left to give? Maybe you’re ambitious, capable, and accustomed to handling what needs to be handled, but lately, you may feel stuck, depleted, or unsure of what comes next. Hey, I’m Yvonne! I work with adults navigating anxiety, burnout, and life transitions, with a special focus on high-achieving women of color, including eldest daughters and those working through over-giving and people-pleasing patterns. Together, we can work through anxiety, OCD, difficult life transitions, and the discomfort that often comes with setting boundaries and finally choosing yourself. Seeking a safe place to land when you have nothing left to give? Maybe you’re ambitious, capable, and accustomed to handling what needs to be handled, but lately, you may feel stuck, depleted, or unsure of what comes next. Hey, I’m Yvonne! I work with adults navigating anxiety, burnout, and life transitions, with a special focus on high-achieving women of color, including eldest daughters and those working through over-giving and people-pleasing patterns. Together, we can work through anxiety, OCD, difficult life transitions, and the discomfort that often comes with setting boundaries and finally choosing yourself. For clients experiencing OCD or intrusive thoughts, I incorporate Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) to help reduce the cycle of obsessions, compulsions, reassurance-seeking, and avoidance. For anxiety and life transitions, we’ll work on understanding patterns, strengthening boundaries, regulating emotions, and making changes that actually fit your life. You may be the person everybody depends on: the problem-solver, strong friend. Meanwhile, you’ve been doing the most for a long time. All gas, no brakes. Therapy with me is warm, collaborative, culturally responsive, and includes humor and gentle accountability when appropriate.

To me, therapy is about meeting you where you are at. We can 'sit in the suck' and commiserate but from there we will build up! This is a collaborative relationship; we are colleagues working towards the same goal. I won’t try to impress you with fancy medical jargon or bore you with a lecture. I am a simple person with humble beginnings. I started my career in healthcare at 17 years old as a CNA (Certified nursing assistant) working nights at a tiny rural hospital. I moved into the Chicago suburbs to continue my education but maintained my CNA certificate by working afternoons and nights at a long-term care facility. I graduated with my Master’s in Social work in 2016 from Aurora University. During my initial years as a social worker I worked in mental health case management and hospice. Two years later I received my Licensed Clinical Social Work for the state of Illinois. Not even a month later in 2019 I moved to North Texas where it took me several more year of training before I received my clinical licensure for Texas. During that time I took several different positions to gain a better understanding of all the kinds of work a social worker is capable of. Those positions were intensive outpatient for mental health and addictions, intake, utilization review for a psychiatric hospital and home health. After gaining clinical licensure in Texas, I concentrated my focus to one on one telehealth with adults while they navigate difficult life changes. When I am not working I enjoy cooking, hiking, competing in dog sports, and tending to my plants and home with my spouse, 7 dogs, and one very old rabbit. I volunteer with the local animal shelter working with animals at risk of euthanasia due to behavior issues or medical concerns and in rescue rehabilitating struggling pets. As a clinician I use aspects of cognitive behavior therapy and dialectical behavior therapy and am considered person centered. I regularly provide handouts, suggest videos, or give homework to encourage therapeutic thought and action outside of our sessions. I look forward to meeting you and being part of the healing chapter of your story!

We are passionate about helping individuals navigate every day challenges that cause stress, anxiety, and fear. While we love working within the LGBTQ population, we enjoy working with all individuals. We also have a member of our team who is passionate about working within the faith-based community to help navigate life's challenges through this mindset. We understand that therapy can be an added expense that feels unaffordable, so it is our passion to help provide lower-cost services so everyone has access to the care they need and deserve. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a free 15-minute consultation.

My name is Amy Hollis, I am an LCSW in the Fort Worth area. I graduated from Texas Christian University and Brite Divinity School in 2019 where I received a dual degree LMSW and M.Div. respectively. In 2025 I was able to obtain my LCSW and I now work full time as a private practice counselor and adjunct professor at Texas Wesleyan University! My biggest achievement has been the ability to work with amazing clients in all times of life, and walk with them through transitions that seem scary and new. As part of the BIPOC and LGBT+ communities I have a heart for those who find themselves at the margins and truly enjoy being a safe space for all people to tell their stories. I do hope to hear from you soon and get a chance to chat!
