Eric Houston

As a licensed clinical psychologist, I help individuals from diverse cultural and social backgrounds deal with a variety of life challenges, including depression, anxiety, trauma, substance abuse, career-related stress, relationship issues, and life transitions. My professional background includes a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the University of Illinois, a psychology internship at New York-Presbyterian Weill Cornell Medical Center, and a postdoctoral fellowship at Columbia University.

In assisting individuals to reach their goals, I utilize a variety of evidence-based therapy approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI). My style in therapy is goal-oriented, interactive, and supportive. I will be a collaborative and compassionate partner in helping you understand and identify solutions to your challenges.

To address your needs, I will meet you where you are right now and help you examine your problems within the context of the multiple factors that influence your life. My goal as a clinical psychologist is to empower individuals so that they get unstuck in making progress with their goals and learn to uncover the thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and behaviors that may be holding them back.
