Therapists for college students near 77005

You’re juggling a lot. Classes, work, friends, family, money, maybe figuring out who you are and what you actually want from life. And somewhere in the middle of all that, your mental health is supposed to “keep up.” My practice is here for that in-between space—when things aren’t exactly falling apart, but they’re definitely not okay. I work with college students who are dealing with anxiety, overthinking, burnout, relationship stress, grief, and big life transitions. Together, we slow things down, sort through the noise, and build practical tools you can actually use in real life. Sessions are judgment-free, conversational, and tailored to you—no pressure to be “put together” or say the perfect thing. You can come as you are: exhausted, unsure, overwhelmed, or just curious about therapy. If you’re ready to feel a little less stuck and a little more like yourself again, you’re in the right place.

PRAGMA WELLNESS INCORPORATES A BIOPHILIC DESIGN INTO PSYCHOTHERAPY, STILLNESS, AND MOVEMENT. IT INVOLVES COMMITTED LOVE FOR YOURSELF, OTHER PEOPLE, THE EARTH AND UNIVERSE AS A WHOLE. OUR BODIES ARE WISE; THEY HOLD ONTO PAST AND PRESENT EXPERIENCES. THE BODY CAN THEREFORE BE USED AS A TOOL FOR HEALING. PRAGMA WELLNESS AIMS TO HELP ALL CLIENTS EMBRACE BOTH MOVEMENT AND STILLNESS TO FEEL EMOTIONS WITH A SENSE OF KINDNESS AND GRATITUDE. IT ALSO INCORPORATES THE SIMULATION OF AN OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENT THAT WILL FOSTER YOUR OPTIMAL PHYSICAL, MENTAL, AND SPIRITUAL BEING. PRAGMA WELLNESS TAKES A COLLABORATIVE APPROACH, HELPING YOU TO RECOGNIZE ALL OF THE WISDOM YOU ALREADY HOLD WITHIN YOU.

Do you ever feel like your mind just won’t turn off—replaying conversations, worrying about things that haven’t even happened yet, and finding it impossible to relax? Many of the people I work with experience these same struggles. They often share that they feel exhausted, disconnected, and like their lives lack meaning as they work tirelessly to keep it together on the outside. Anxiety, depression, and trauma can quietly weave their way into our lives and, if left unchecked, can take control and lead us into a downward spiral. Let me help you lighten the weight of these burdens and begin healing together.

Welcome! My name is "Dr. Ed." I'm a Ph.D.-Diplomate in Clinical Social Work from the University of Houston and Governors State. In our multicultural world, therapy is a safe place to respect your values and honor your strengths! √ I'm 4.6 rated with 60+ reviews on HealthGrades, United Health, Aetna and Cigna. My treatment philosophy is built on respect and appreciation of the dignity for each person I work with. Let me emphasize this one more time, YOU don't have to settle for a poor self-image from negative experiences nor settle with poor relationships with your family, spouse, kids and yourself. Let's figure it out..together.. My therapy specialty is working with adults, couples, families, and pre-teens who are dealing with feelings of rejection, grief, and situation anxiousness-including balancing family and work-life stressors. I greatly appreciate listening to the adult male voice in relationships and families. Learning ways to bridge the gap in communication styles between men and women, parents and children, is important work! Prior to becoming a therapist, I was a core faculty member for nine years at Capella University-graduate and doctoral programs in Social Work and Public Service Leadership. Outside of work, Dr. Ed enjoys traveling to Barbados, Cancun, Houston Rodeo, is active in the KAY fraternity, and is an Astros and Cubs fan.

My experience working in a diverse community coupled with my ability to speak and understand English language, enables me to effectively connect with broad range of clients, ensuring they feel heard, supported, and understood. I am enthusiastic about helping my clients achieve mental wellness, and work collaboratively with them to develop tailored treatment plans that promote both immediate relief and long-term stability.

I believe in creating a safe and open environment where clients feel comfortable sharing their experiences. My goal is to collaborate with everyone to develop a personalized treatment plan that aligns with their unique needs, goals, and values. I take the time to listen, educate and empower my clients to take an active role in their healing journey. With a focus on evidence-based practices and cultural humility, I aim to provide care that respects each client’s background and individual preferences. My process begins with acknowledging the client’s presence, explaining to the client what to expect during the session, which includes break down of the session into two parts: basics and the main subjects. This includes comprehensive assessment where I gather information about the client’s background – medical, mental health, social and current concerns etc. This initial session allows me to understand the individual’s unique situation and start building rapport. After assessing their needs, I collaborate closely with the client to establish treatment goals and create a tailored plan that may include therapy, medication management, or a combination of both. Throughout our work together, I maintain an ongoing dialogue to monitor progress, adjust treatment strategies as needed, and ensure the client feels supported and empowered. I believe in holistic, collaborative approach that includes open communication, transparency, and a commitment to fostering a positive therapeutic relationship.
