Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Friendswood, TX

Trauma can change the way you see yourself, others, and the world around you. Whether you've experienced domestic violence, childhood abuse, or other painful life events, you may find yourself feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or constantly on guard. Healing is possible, and you do not have to navigate that journey alone. As a licensed counselor with experience working with survivors of trauma, I provide a safe, supportive space where you can process your experiences, regain a sense of control, and move toward a life that feels more fulfilling and meaningful.

• My approach to therapy is interactive and collaborative, focused on your self discovery and growth. I see our work as a partnership where your voice, values, and goals matter. Together, we will explore what is bringing you to therapy and clarify the changes you hope to see in your life, relationships, and overall sense of well being.
• I prefer to join in with my clients rather than sit back and simply observe. We will actively work together to identify patterns, build insight, and develop practical tools that enhance your quality of life. I will offer gentle guidance, ask thoughtful questions, and invite your feedback so our sessions feel useful and relevant to you.
• I believe the therapy relationship is designed to support the change you are seeking. Our work will help you move toward those desired shifts at a pace that feels right, while honoring what is most important to you. If you are ready to explore your next steps in a collaborative, supportive space, I would be honored to walk alongside you.

Greetings! I am Terrance S. Tufts, M.A., LPC. I have experience working with clients with anxiety, depression, and men's issues just to name a few. Life can be hard sometimes and in those trying times, we all need someone who is willing to listen and it is my pleasure to be someone who will listen to you and help you navigate life's challenges!

Hello! I'm a queer therapist with a particular focus on serving the LGBTQIA community. I work with adults who are ready to explore their identity, navigate life changes, and feel more at home in themselves. Many of my clients are discovering new layers of their sexuality and gender identity, exploring polyamory or ethical non-monogamy, or unpacking the effects of religious trauma. I also work with couples, sex workers, and individuals navigating depression, anxiety, and neurodivergence. My style is relaxed, collaborative, and affirming.

I specialize in anxiety, including generalized anxiety and panic attacks, as well as trauma, grief and loss, attachment and family dynamics, relationship issues, perfectionism and overfunctioning, stress and adjustment to change, and the ways emotional pain can show up in the body. I help clients understand how distress impacts self-worth, emotional expression, and connection with others by exploring when the disturbance began, where it comes from, and how it affects daily life.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based care for adults.

I am currently pursuing my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree with a focus in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing, further advancing my clinical expertise and commitment to providing high-quality mental health care. I specialize in treating conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, mood disorders, trauma-related concerns, and substance use disorders. My approach is personalized and collaborative, combining medication management, brief supportive therapy, lifestyle strategies, and patient education to help clients achieve their mental health goals.
