Couples therapists in Missouri City, TX

Hi, I’m Taylor Avery, an LCSW in Texas, and I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of North Texas. I specialize in working with individuals navigating substance use, trauma, grief and loss, life transitions, anxiety, and depression, and I have extensive experience in both individual and intensive outpatient settings.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or stretched thin by anxiety, depression, relationship stress, or life changes, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I work with individuals who want a space to feel understood, supported, and empowered as they move through challenges and toward meaningful growth. My goal is to create an affirming, compassionate environment where you can show up as you are and begin making sense of what you’re carrying.

I’m a Marriage and Family Therapist in New Orleans, Louisiana, with over 10 years of experience helping individuals and couples live more authentically. My background is in Marriage and Family Therapy (EdS), and I run a private practice while staying active in community wellness outreach. I work with depression, anxiety, stress, and relationship issues, and I aim to offer a safe, comfortable space where we can collaborate on your goals and help you find more balance in your life.

Hi, I’m Shakira, a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with individuals and romantic partners dealing with anxiety, relationship struggles, and the impact of past trauma.

Therapy with me is about having a safe space where you don’t have to carry it all alone.

Empowering Growth Through Compassionate, Personalized Therapy

Welcome to Free Your Mind Counseling, where healing meets authenticity. My practice is founded on the belief that every individual deserves a safe and supportive space to heal, grow, and thrive. I provide personalized, culturally responsive therapy for trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and life transitions—grounded in empathy, respect, and collaboration.

I specialize in existential, eclectic, and integrative therapies, drawing from evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Psychodynamic, Humanistic, and Experiential frameworks. This flexible, holistic approach allows me to meet clients where they are—emotionally, mentally, and spiritually—rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method.

My academic foundation includes a Master of Arts in Counseling from Prairie View A&M University and a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice with a specialization in Juvenile Justice. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas, a National Certified Counselor (NCC), and bring over a decade of experience in the criminal justice system, substance use recovery programs, and diverse mental health settings.

I am also completing my Doctoral degree at Houston Christian University in the College of Education and Behavioral Sciences, majoring in Executive Mental Health and Human Services—a reflection of my commitment to advancing mental health leadership and community impact.

My philosophy centers on helping clients discover purpose, balance, and self-acceptance through integrative, trauma-informed care. I believe in engaging deeply—not just listening, but empowering transformation. My mission is to create a nonjudgmental space where healing isn’t just possible—it’s expected.

I'm Kiana Armstrong, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. I’ve spent my career helping individuals navigate complex emotions, past trauma, and internalized shame that often stem from childhood neglect, abuse, or relational wounds. My passion lies in supporting those who feel they’ve had to carry too much for too long—those who are ready to begin the healing process and rediscover their sense of self.

I specialize in working with adults and teens experiencing PTSD, trauma-related stress, low self-worth, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm. With experience in both individual and group settings, I bring compassion, insight, and deep respect for your lived experiences to every session.
