Counseling

The Practice

Authentic Relational Counseling, PLLC is an independently owned counseling practice providing in-person and virtual psychotherapy services to adolescents and adults in the Greater Houston Area and Texas. The mission of the practice is to provide effective, efficient, and transformative treatment services that honor the unique needs of each person.

Treatment Approach

Laura's approach is compassionate and treatment-oriented. She cares deeply about each individual and maintains consistent education to ensure her skills are relevant and effective to meet their needs. Laura works collaboratively with clients by seeking to understand their concerns and circumstances while also connecting as necessary and requested with other treatment providers or supportive family members. She is mindful of the broader impact family, friends, work/school, and society can have on a person's mental and physical health; and she takes her role seriously with respect to each person under her care.

Expectations

Counseling is a collaborative effort between you and your counselor. The first session's focus is to gather history, assess symptoms, strengths and resources, and determine treatment goals. Laura will then formulate a treatment plan specific for you and work efficiently to guide you through the healing process. The length of time it takes to resolve your concerns depends on their complexity and your willingness to work through the process as guided. Laura will support you along the way and expects that you provide honest feedback to better help her help you.
