Grief counselors and therapists in Friendswood, TX

As humans traverse through life, one should never feel that they are walking in solitude. The experience of relational conversations that affirm, support, and empower should be common. Yet, that is not always the case which is why I do what I do; I counsel, I encourage, I motivate with joy!

I am a retired United States Marine who believes wholeheartedly in helping trauma survivors thrive. I help you with new coping skills, manage PTSD, and walk along side of you during the difficult times. I specialize in trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and depression.

As a licensed professional counselor and psychotherapist, my relationship with my client is the most important aspect of the process. I strive for connection and a collaborative spirit. It is always my goal to help the client with their unique and special needs. Whether someone struggles with anxiety, depression, grief, stress, trauma, or general relational issues, I want to develop a plan with them that will be customized to their needs, and specific to what their desired outcome is.

You've spent so much time taking care of everyone else that you've forgotten what it feels like to be supported yourself. Whether you're carrying anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, or navigating a major life transition, you don't have to face it alone. I'm Dr. Ej Sit, a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 20 years of experience helping adolescents, adults, older adults, and families find clarity, resilience, and lasting change.

For more than two decades, I've helped clients work through anxiety, depression, trauma, family conflict, relationship concerns, grief, life transitions, and women's issues. I believe every person has unique strengths, even if they're difficult to see in challenging moments, and therapy can help you reconnect with them while creating meaningful, lasting growth.

What I would want clients to know about me is that I understand how heavy life can feel when you are carrying too much for too long. I often work with moms, caregivers, children, teens, and adults who are navigating anxiety, stress, overwhelm, life transitions, and the pressure to keep showing up even when they feel emotionally exhausted. If you are a mom who feels like you are always running, always thinking about what someone else needs, and slowly losing touch with yourself, this can be a space to pause, breathe, and begin finding your way back to you.

I also bring many years of experience in education and school counseling, which helps me support children, teens, and families with a practical understanding of how home, school, relationships, and daily responsibilities can impact emotional well-being. My goal is not to help you chase perfection, but to help you build more balance, clarity, confidence, and peace in your everyday life. Whether you are trying to feel like yourself again or trying to support a child who is struggling, you do not have to figure it all out alone.
