Offering a more holistic approach to mental healthcare that integrates body and mind.

Cactus Counseling & Art Therapy was founded for those wanting to break free from trauma and generational cycles.

We understand that trauma, anxiety, depression, and motherhood can be tender topics to discuss, which is why we are passionate about creating a safe place for you to express, heal, and grow from your past- so that you can blossom and thrive in your present.

We offer holistic and body-centered counseling services both in person in west Houston, as well as via telehealth for the great state of Texas. Our mission is to offer compassionate mental healthcare services that are heart-forward and evidence-based. We specialize in trauma and perinatal mental health. Our heart’s work lies where the two experiences intersect, in our niche of working with perinatal trauma and cycle breakers.

Cacti are fierce, resilient, and powerful beings that thrive in the harshest conditions- just like you. With the right amount of nurturing, love, and resources, we believe that you can adapt to your surroundings to not just survive, but flourish- despite what you’ve endured.

We believe that you deserve to feel free from trauma, anxiety, and burnout.

Our Services

Clients have the choice in each session to engage with Art Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, or opt for traditional talk therapy services. Group therapy options are also available.

In Person + Telehealth Offerings

Counseling sessions are offered both in person in our west Houston office, or virtually, and are tailored to each client’s needs. We will collaborate with you to create a treatment plan that aligns with your needs and goals to help you find relief from your symptoms.

Group therapy provides a unique opportunity to share experiences, gain insights, and receive encouragement from peers in a safe and nurturing environment. Our group sessions are led by an experienced therapist who facilitates meaningful discussions and provides valuable support. Join us to find community, understanding, and collective healing.

Clients are invited to bring art materials into their sessions. Art is used to help deepen the client’s processing and use a different approach to promote healing, growth, and change. All ages are welcome to participate. Prior art knowledge is not required.

Somatic Experiencing is a holistic and body-based approach that helps heal trauma and chronic nervous system dysregulation. Expect to increase awareness of the mind-body connection, learn regulation skills, and heal your nervous system from past trauma. Somatic Experiencing understands that trauma lives in the body. SE is effective both in person and via telehealth.

And lay it down when you walk through my door
Throw all of it out on the floor
Your sorrow, your beauty, your war
I want it all, I want it all

Bring your secrets, bring your scars
Bring your glory, all you are
Bring your daylight, bring your dark
Share your silence and unpack your heart
