Therapy for Young Adults in Houston
Sound like you?
Are you a young adult in Houston feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or uncertain about your path in life?
From the outside, it may look like you’re doing well. Your career is progressing, friendships are intact, responsibilities are handled.
But internally, things may feel different:
You’re questioning who you are and what you truly want. You’re anxious, burnt out, or second-guessing decisions. You’re trying so hard to keep it together, but it feels heavy.
If that resonates, you’re not alone. Many young adults reach a point where the path ahead feels unclear. Therapy can help you slow down, understand what’s underneath the pressure, and reconnect with who you’re becoming.
An internal battle of your current life trajectory is a great time to pause and get support.
Many young adults experience what feels like a quarter-life shift…or a transition where who you’ve been and who you’re becoming no longer feel like they match.
Does this sound familiar?
You might notice:
Overthinking, self-doubt, or rumination
Difficulty making decisions or trusting your instincts
Burnout from constantly performing or achieving
Feeling disconnected from yourself, others, or life
Struggles with boundaries, communication, or emotional needs
A sense of “I should be grateful… so why do I still feel lost?”
Questioning your career, identity, relationships, or values
Quiet internal overwhelm that no one else seems to notice
Therapy can support you through this period of transition with clarity, compassion, and intentionality.
Hi, I’m Abby, A licensed clinical social worker specializing in supporting young adults through life’s transitions.
Modern, Relational, and Existential Houston Therapy for Anxiety, Identity, and Meaning.
As a millennial and modern therapist, I understand how complex early adulthood can be. You may be thriving in your career or relationships on the outside. But still feel unfulfilled, stuck, or disconnected on the inside. Adulthood is full of challenges, and it offers a powerful opportunity for growth, self-discovery, and lasting change.
My Houston therapy practice specializes in working with high-functioning young adults and professionals — those who appear successful in many areas of life but are silently wrestling with anxiety, self-doubt, imposter syndrome, or a lack of meaning. I frequently work with doctors, lawyers, stay-at-home moms, CEOs, college students, and creatives who are ready to go deeper and live a life that feels authentic and aligned.
As a relational and existential therapist, I help clients explore the internal narratives, patterns, and past experiences that may be keeping them stuck. Together, we work to uncover what truly matters to you, so you can move forward with clarity, confidence, and a stronger sense of self.
If you’re ready to dive deep, confront what’s holding you back, and create meaningful change, I’m here to support you. You don’t have to navigate this journey alone.
As a relational and existential therapist, I specialize in helping young people like you explore life’s big questions, build authentic relationships, and find deeper meaning in your experiences.
Whether you’re navigating transitions, struggling with anxiety, or questioning your identity and purpose, I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where we can explore these challenges together. Through a collaborative and deeply human approach, I help you reconnect with yourself, others, and what matters most to you.
My practice integrates relational therapy, which focuses on the healing power of genuine connection, and existential therapy, which helps you face life’s uncertainties with courage and clarity. Together, we work to uncover what’s beneath the surface, helping you live with more intention, freedom, and self-understanding.

A common experience for young adults in therapy:
Many young adults come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and uncertain about their next steps. On the outside, they may appear successful, while internally feeling disconnected, exhausted, or driven by perfectionism.
Through therapy, clients often develop coping strategies that allow them to slow down and create space for deeper exploration around identity, boundaries, past relationships, and values. Over time, clarity and confidence grow, making it possible to choose a life aligned with who they are, instead of who they feel pressured to be.
Personalized, Evidence-Based Therapy for Young Adults in Houston
I offer a modern, person-centered approach to therapy that’s tailored to your unique needs, while also grounded in proven, evidence-based practices. This means our work together is not only relational and authentic, but also backed by research.
Using therapeutic modalities that have been clinically shown to be effective, I’ll help you develop practical coping strategies, build healthier relationships, and work toward meaningful, long-lasting change. Together, we’ll explore how these tools apply to your real life. So you can make empowered decisions, feel more emotionally resilient, and move through challenges with greater clarity and confidence..

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a well-researched, evidence-based approach that helps you understand the powerful connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Many of these patterns operate beneath the surface—shaping your emotional experience without you even realizing it.
In therapy, we’ll work together to increase your awareness of how certain automatic thoughts and behaviors may be contributing to anxiety, stress, or emotional overwhelm. With greater insight, we’ll begin to gently challenge and reframe those unhelpful patterns.
As you start to shift the way you think and respond, you can expect to feel more grounded, present, and emotionally resilient in your day-to-day life. CBT offers practical tools and a deeper understanding of yourself, helping you make meaningful and lasting changes.
-
Mindfulness-based therapy helps you develop healthier coping skills by teaching you how to stay grounded in the present moment—even when life feels overwhelming. Through this approach, we’ll explore mindfulness techniques, grounding exercises, and distress tolerance skills that support nervous system regulation and emotional balance.
If you’re feeling anxious, scattered, or disconnected, mindfulness-based therapy can help you slow down, tune into your body, and respond to stress with greater calm and clarity. These tools are not only practical, but deeply healing—helping you feel more centered, self-aware, and in control of your emotional experience.
-
Attachment theory helps us understand the ways we connect with others—based on patterns developed in childhood. Whether your attachment style is secure, anxious, avoidant, or disorganized, these patterns often influence your relationships, emotional responses, and sense of safety in connection.
In therapy, we’ll explore how your early experiences shaped your attachment style and how those patterns may still be showing up in your adult relationships. Through this work, you’ll gain insight into your attachment needs, recognize emotional triggers, and begin to heal from old relational wounds.
Attachment-focused therapy can help you move toward a more secure sense of self and create deeper, healthier connections—with others and with yourself.
