Example: "I have always wanted a job where I was of service to others, but I didn't know how to channel that into a career until I took an introduction to psychology course in college. We learned a lot about mental illness, what causes it and different ways to treat it, which inspired me to pursue my degree. I loved the idea of helping others overcome mental illness and helping them achieve their life goals."
I love helping people develop skills to improve their lives, communication and relationships. It is important to know that one theory does not meet everyone’s needs, therefore I use many different approaches to helping my clients to build their own best version of themselves.
Audrena Kelley, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and founder/owner of For You I Will Services & Consulting, PLLC who is also entering her final year of her Doctorate of Social Work program. As a social work professional, I've worked with adolescents, adults, couples, and families from diverse cultures, backgrounds, and socioeconomic status. Individuals ages 18 and older are only being accepted at this time.
I enjoy working with people of color and others of diverse backgrounds to help them navigate through the life events that contribute to depression, anxiety, adjustment challenges, or any other emotional irregularities that affect their ability to function the way they want to.

I’m Lorin Samuels, a Licensed Professional Counselor with 17 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families through trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, and major life transitions.

Frequently asked questions


Find the right counselor for your family
Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Houston
Finding family therapists in Houston starts with knowing what kind of support your family needs. Family therapy can help with parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, communication breakdowns, and stress across generations. Licensed family therapists are trained to work with the relational system, not just one person. As you compare therapists for family issues, look for bios that mention family systems, marriage and family therapy, parent-child relationships, or experience with counseling family problems.
Houston’s size can make the search feel wide, from the Heights and Montrose to Midtown, West Houston, and nearby suburbs. Some families prefer in-person sessions, while others choose virtual appointments to make scheduling across multiple people easier. Session structure can also vary. A family therapist may meet with the full family, smaller groups, parents, couples, or individual family members, depending on the goals of care. Before booking, review each therapist’s profile for availability, approach, and whether they offer a phone consultation to discuss fit and structure.
Family counseling in Houston, TX can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find licensed family therapists who may accept a variety of insurance plans, are accepting new patients, and offer clear appointment options. You can compare profiles, check estimated costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
