Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Kingwood, TX

You might not even be able to imagine happiness because you never learned how to dream. As a collaborative, strengths-based therapist, I can teach you to understand where that comes from, so you can grow into your identity(ies) and start dreaming of your future. This is called thriving.

Hi, I’m Elizabeth. I work with women and teen girls ages 15+ experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship stress, burnout, menopause, and major life transitions.

My approach is warm, practical, and collaborative.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-focused and strength-based approaches, and Christian counseling when desired. I also incorporate other evidence-based strategies to help you recognize patterns, manage difficult emotions, build healthier boundaries, and feel more confident in your daily life.

I especially enjoy working with women who spend so much time caring for others that they begin to feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or disconnected from themselves.

Therapy is available in English and Spanish. Together, we will focus on helping you feel more grounded, supported, and better equipped to move forward.

I received my Bachelors degree in Psychology at Boston University and my Masters degree in Social Work at New York University.

I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 29 years.

I have worked in a variety of settings, including a large outpatient mental health center and schools.

I have lived in 6 different states, including the northeast, the midwest, and the south.

I have seen clients from all kinds of backgrounds.

I am licensed in the states of NJ & TX.

I SEE CLIENTS AGES 18 AND UP.

I believe that being seen, heard, and fully accepted is what fosters true connection—not just with others, but with yourself. My goal is to welcome you exactly as you are, no matter what burdens or dilemmas you’re carrying.

My hope is to empower you to embrace your unique journey so you can live, love, and fully enjoy the life ahead of you.

I specialize in working with adults navigating trauma, chronic pain, and ADHD. These challenges can leave you feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. But you don’t have to go through it alone. I bring not only my professional expertise but also my own personal experience of healing. I know firsthand how intimidating and overwhelming the journey can be. That’s why I’m committed to walking alongside you as a compassionate guide offering tools, empathy, and a safe space for you to explore your past, present, and the future you want to create.

Some of the hardest seasons people walk through happen around the arrival of new life, the slow unraveling of a relationship, or the quiet grip of something they have never said out loud. I work across all of those seasons as a Licensed Professional Counselor serving children, adolescents, and adults.

I empower individuals in Montrose, Houston who feel stuck, disconnected, or uncertain, and want to better understand themselves and their relationships.

You've been called too much, or not enough. Maybe both, depending on the room. I work with individuals and couples in affirming, culturally responsive therapy. POC, LGBTQIA+ folks, people in ENM and nontraditional relationships, and anyone who's spent a lifetime translating themselves to be understood. Clients come in carrying grief, people-pleasing patterns, identity questions, the weight of being misread, or a relationship that's drifted, gone quiet, or is trying to find a new shape that actually fits. I'll challenge you and stay warm doing it. I don't ask you to shrink or perform to be met. This is a space to be known in full.

Candra is a psychiatric nurse practitioner who is funny, driven, loyal, compassionate, and, most importantly, a human being who genuinely cares about people. I strive daily to serve clients who need support reaching their goals in life.

Whether you are a teen trying to find your way, a struggling college student, navigating corporate America, a single parent juggling it all, or an overachiever who needs permission to rest, I am here to help meet your needs. Not everyone needs medication. Sometimes, people simply need someone to talk to who actually cares, listens, and understands. Others may need assistance with medication, and that is perfectly fine too. When medication is appropriate, we will work together to find an option that best meets your individual needs. I provide an integrative approach to mental health care that is holistic, realistic, practical, and safe. Whether you are dealing with depression, anxiety, insomnia, ADHD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, trauma, a breakup, a bad grade, a failed marriage, job loss, or simply a difficult season of life, I can help. My goal is for you to leave each session feeling heard, supported, and clear about your next steps. Healing isn’t a solo journey, and I’m here to walk it with you.
