Life doesn’t get easier or more forgiving, we get stronger and become more resilient.
We totally get it. On most days you feel like you’re trudging through your life feeling completely depleted, filled with anxiety, or just generally unfulfilled, but you’re not sure why. It seems like you’re wading through quicksand and gradually sinking into depression or complacency, but to others it looks like you are successful and “happy.”
Keeping up this façade all the time is exhausting. If you’re feeling empty or utterly confused about what you’re feeling or experiencing and not sure how to sort through the never-ending feelings of overwhelm or fear, we can help.
Reach out to us today so you can finally start moving towards living the life you deserve.
Are you living your life stuck in survival mode?
You may be feeling disconnected from yourself and others or frustrated being in people-pleasing mode most of the time and acting like everything is fine.
You’re tired of pretending or trying to hold it together all the time, but you feel lost and don’t know how to change things, where to start, or what to do.
Trauma and chronic stress can make us vulnerable to physical and emotional strife but can also strip us of our true identity by leading us away from ourselves and towards unhelpful strategies and ways of coping.
Our therapists will help you learn to connect with yourself so you can start to shift some of the unhelpful patterns and behaviors that may have helped you survive your life, but not thrive.
Re-wire deeply conditioned patterns and break through the barriers that have been holding you back.
We offer in-person therapy sessions in our Houston office, as well as convenient online sessions throughout Texas, including late night virtual therapy. Our specialties include:
We can help with physical anxiety symptoms, while giving you tools to address the emotional and cognitive symptoms, too.
EMDR, Brainspotting, and somatic techniques can help restore a feeling of safety in your body and reduce trauma symptoms.
Through validation, reframing, cognitive restructuring, and emotional healing, you can find relief from religious trauma.
Comprehensive therapy will provide you with a set of techniques and skills that will allow you to enjoy life again.
We provide meaningful insight, empathy, and clinical experience to help you unpack the many debilitating challenges you face when dealing with eating disorders or disordered eating.
What People Are Saying
It’s a very inviting and calm environment. It’s taken a few sessions (with Katie Hueni) to get our groove but it seems to be on point now. :)
Thank god Kristen recommended EMDR to me. Before it, I genuinely didn’t think I was going to ever feel better, but after only about 2ish months I’m functional again. Also, I like that she said “We’re not trying to make you see your trauma in a positive light, we’re just trying to turn it into a memory that doesn’t hurt you anymore” because I was worried I’d have to act happy by the end of EMDR therapy. But no, the memory still sucks but it really doesn’t hurt anymore!
Ashlie is amazing 💙 I find myself referencing things she’s said to me, and she’s opened my mind to a lot of belief patterns I had that I wasn’t aware of. She’s also very open-minded to recommending or referring you to any other therapy methods she thinks might benefit you. I think my favorite thing about her though is she’s honest and direct, yet very in tune to take things at my pace, and never pressures me to do any type of therapy or have any type of conversation I’m not ready for. 💙
I have been seeing Ashlie for almost a year and a half. She almost feels like a friend that I can talk to but one that offers good advice. I like having her to bounce my feelings off of and having her guidance to navigate personal and business situations. I’m feeling pretty good about things in my life right now, but I look forward to our 2x per month sessions and being able to talk things out with her.
I’ve been with Ashlie for at least 3 years. (If not more?) I’ve made great strides in my therapy! I’m a childhood trauma survivor. I spent most of my life simply surviving. After another traumatic event, I finally sought help. Ashlie helped me understand my trauma. She explained the reasons for my inner turmoil. She was patient and supportive. I felt accepted and safe. I have said many times that Ashlie saved my life and I’m grateful for the tools she provided me. I was very lost for very long and Ashlie led me through the darkness. I have more work ahead of me and I know I can count on Ashlie to see me through the rest of my journey. “Thank you” doesn’t encapsulate the gratitude I feel for you. You helped me find true happiness!
My therapist (Jennifer Castro) listens to me and I feel comfortable with her.
Absolutely life changing! Katie (Osgood) is amazing and I’m so happy to be working with her! I’ve told all my friends about her!
Things are going really well with Katie (Osgood). My daughter really likes going to see her and it’s great to see her high comfort level with an adult. Katie is wonderful.
Kristen is amazing. Very present and I love what she said in our first session—that her goal is to learn what it’s like to be me and to walk alongside me. I feel a difference since working with her and am so grateful to have found your practice and Kristen!
I have been seeing Kristen Gallien for a few months and she is wonderful! She makes me feel heard and understood and has been a wonderful support! I’m so grateful I found her!
Jennifer is amazing, she is so gentle and compassionate. I have felt comfortable with her from the very first session.
My therapy is going great it took me two years to warm up to medication and my therapist (Katie Osgood) really helped me through the stigmas I was placing on myself. Currently we are working through building relationships and my attachment style. She makes me feel heard and I love that!
