Who am I? What do I want? And how do I move forward from here? These are the questions that bring many people to therapy—and the questions I’m passionate about exploring. I’m Ron Saenz, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Houston. My work is rooted in the belief that healing happens through both insight and embodied experience. I draw from neuroscience, somatic awareness, and the wisdom of practices like meditation, yoga, martial arts, and flow states to help clients reconnect with themselves in deeper, more meaningful ways.
