I am passionate about helping individuals overcome mental and emotional obstacles and believe that therapy should be a collaborative experience. With a focus on sexual trauma, PTSD, LGBTQIA+, and serious and persistent mental illness, I am equipped to provide comprehensive mental health services to adults of any age. In addition to my clinical work, I am an animal lover and avid reader, and I bring these passions into my therapeutic approach. I welcome clients from all walks of life, including those who practice polyamory, open relationships, or other non-traditional relationship dynamics. Kink-friendly.
As a Licensed Social Worker, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. Our therapeutic sessions will be packed with discovery, while building long lasting tools to apply in times of need! I’ve been practicing for 27 years, and I have developed the skills needed to address a broad spectrum of counsel. I am super excited to start our journey together!

I am a down to earth and warm therapist with 20 years of experience. I live and work in a rich Hispanic and military connected community. I believe that mental health and handling our emotions effectively is a key to success and positive growth/relationships. During my experience, I have focused from children to adults, who are struggling with handling emotions, anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and focus. Today, by stepping into counseling is a great step for positive growth and change!!
I’m Destiny Parker, a counselor, educator, and wellness advocate who believes healing happens when people feel seen, safe, and supported as their full selves.
In my clinical work, I support individuals who are managing stress, burnout, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the lingering effects of trauma. I have a particular passion for working with educators, caregivers, and helping professionals who often prioritize everyone else while quietly carrying their own emotional load. I also work with adolescents and young adults as they navigate self-esteem, peer relationships, identity exploration, and emotional resilience.
Challenges shouldn’t just be endured—they should be the catalyst for your breakthrough. My goal is to help you transform life's toughest hurdles into a foundation for lasting resilience and self-discovery, giving you the tools to reclaim your strength and lead a more intentional life.
If you've been struggling with anxiety, depression, addiction, anger, or behaviors that keep getting in the way of the life you want, you don't have to figure it out alone. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC) with 18 years of experience helping people rebuild their lives through criminal reentry. Today, I work with children, teens, adults, and couples who are looking for real change. Over the years, I've learned that no one is defined by their past, and I believe every person is capable of growth when they're given the right support.

Frequently asked questions


Find the right couples therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Houston
Finding couples therapists in Houston starts with naming what you want to work on together. Couples counseling in Houston may focus on communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life transitions, parenting disagreements, or premarital counseling. Not all therapists have specific training in working with couples, so look for licensed marriage and family therapists or therapists who list couples modalities such as the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy in their profiles.
Houston has a large network of therapists, which can make the search broad across neighborhoods like Montrose, the Heights, Midtown, and the Texas Medical Center area. For couples therapy in Houston, Texas, the right fit also needs to work for both partners’ schedules, session preferences, and location needs. Some couples prefer in-person sessions with a relationship therapist in Houston, TX, while others prefer virtual appointments that are easier to fit around work, childcare, or commute times. Reading therapist bios can help you compare communication style, approach, availability, and whether a free phone consultation is offered to assess fit for couples specifically.
Relationship counseling in Houston can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before booking. Headway helps you find marriage counselors in Houston who are accepting new patients, review detailed profiles, verify insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
