Our Services

    Individual Therapy

    Clients enter a one-on-one therapeutic relationship with a psychotherapist to address their emotional concerns. A therapist may use many therapeutic approaches in which they have been trained or they may adhere to one they identify with in order to assist the individual with viewing themselves through the lens of that therapeutic approach, fostering change through self-discovery.

    Couples' Therapy

    Many couples seek the assistance of a therapist to address relationship challenges. A therapist helps the couple to learn to effectively communicate and connect with one another while resolving relational difficulties. It may seem that the relationship is the “client” as you move through the therapeutic process. As therapists, we typically see the couple together but may ask for individual sessions with each or one of the members of the couple, for screening purposes only.

    ​​Family Therapy

    ​With family therapy, the therapist systemically views the family as a whole unit rather than as the sum of its parts. As with couples therapy, the therapist may see individual family members separately in conjunction with the family as a whole. There are numerous modalities from which the therapist may approach issues, but the important thing to remember is that whatever modality your therapist uses, you can address identified difficulties and bring about significant changes in your life.

Limits & Rights of Confidentiality/Privacy Policy​

The relationship between a client and a psychotherapist is protected by law. Information cannot be disclosed without your written permission.


​EXCEPTIONS OF CONFIDENTIALITY​ include the following:

  • Suspected child abuse or dependent adult or elder abuse, and as a licensed professional by the state of Texas, I am required by law to report this to the appropriate authorities immediately.

  • If a client is threatening serious bodily harm to another person/s, I must notify the police and inform the intended victim.

  • If a client intends to harm himself or herself, I will make every effort to enlist their cooperation in ensuring their safety. If they do not cooperate, I will take further measures without their permission that are provided to me by law in order to ensure client safety.

    Dr. Thelma Rouse

    I have a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Ph.D. in Marriage and Family Therapy. I am a dually licensed therapist in the state of Texas, as a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT). I am also a nationally certified counselor (NCC). I have been professionally trained in a “systemic” approach. As a systemic family therapist, I observe problems within the context of the family. As a therapist using the systemic approach, I believe that the source of the problem originates within the context of the family as a whole, and not merely the individual. It is my hope as your therapist to use this approach to empower you and your family to obtain long-lasting change, as you reveal and learn to alter the generational patterns causing distress in the family system.

    Lydia Davis, LPC

    I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, and I have a passion for empowering individuals and families to be their best and truest selves. I received my Master of Arts Degree in Counseling from Prairie View A&M University and have experience in school counseling with 18 years in the field of education. I have individual and group counseling experience in the areas of anxiety, grief, stress, divorce, and life experiences/adjustments. As a counselor, my aim is to provide support and a positive therapeutic experience. To achieve this goal, I will provide an atmosphere where the counseling relationship thrives, confidentiality and privacy is upheld, and a place where the overall relationship between myself and the client is respected. Allow me to help you work through life’s roadblocks and achieve your goals!
