Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Pearland, 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 a licensed professional counselor and the founder of Transformed Therapy in Houston, TX. Since 2008, I’ve been walking alongside individuals, and families as they navigate anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, spiritual concerns, and major life transitions. While I work with men and women, as well as children and teens, a large part of my work is focused on helping men who are facing internal battles—feeling stuck, burned out, disconnected, or unsure of how to lead well in their families, careers, and personal lives.

Whether you're carrying stress silently, dealing with anger or shame, questioning your purpose, or struggling to be the individual you want to be, I provide a place where you can be honest, real, and heard. My approach is practical, faith-centered, and grounded in personal accountability, growth, and grace.

Before launching Transformed Therapy, I served as Director at Memorial Christian Counseling Center and CEO at Integrative Mental Health Solutions, leading crisis response teams across Houston. I also spent 11 years in full-time ministry as a youth and outreach minister, which deeply shaped my commitment to soul care and spiritual restoration.

I hold a Master of Education in Counseling from the University of North Texas and a BA in Philosophy from UT Arlington. When I’m not in session, I’m spending time outdoors with my wife and our five kids—camping, fishing, gardening, or simply enjoying God's creation.

If you're ready to step into change—whether it’s for your mental health, your marriage, your faith, or your identity—I’d be honored to walk with you.

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.

As a faith-based holistic therapist in Texas, I focus on aiding you navigate life’s challenges and heal from past experiences. I consider the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—to help you discover your strengths and build resilience. Whether you're facing relationship issues, anxiety, or trauma, I’m here to support your growth. If you're open to it, I can incorporate faith into our sessions, but I respect all belief systems. My goal is to create a non-judgmental space for positive change.

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.

I am passionate about creating a safe and non-judgmental space for my clients. I am committed to helping my clients identify and navigate their feelings, learn healthier coping skills, and ultimately find hope and heal. I have worked with adults and adolescence with eating disorders, substance and behavioral addictions, personality disorders, bipolar disorder, co-dependency, trauma, anxiety, and depression.

Greetings, I am a therapist in private practice for over fifteen years. I am dually licensed as a mental health therapist and an addictions therapist.

Hello and welcome—I'm so glad you're here.

My name is Shanna Gardner, LPC-S, and I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor with over 20 years of experience in the mental health field. I'm deeply passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and discover a sense of peace, purpose, and emotional wellness.

I believe that therapy should be a space where you feel safe, heard, and truly understood. Whether you're dealing with overwhelming stress, navigating a tough life transition, or managing symptoms of anxiety or depression, I’m here to support you every step of the way.

As someone who has sat on the other side of the couch, heart heavy with the overwhelming weight of anxiety, shame, grief, hopelessness, and defeat, I understand the bravery it takes to enter therapy - to confront yourself in the mirror and face your struggles openly and honestly. Every journey begins with a first step, even if you’re doing it scared. Choosing to begin this process is a powerful act of self-care, and I would be honored to walk alongside you.
