You give to others, and have nothing left for yourself.

Counseling for Women in Houston, TX

You’ve been holding it all together — but inside, you're worn out.
You’re the dependable one, the strong one, the one everyone leans on. But lately, it feels like you're running on empty. Your mind won’t stop racing, your body feels tense, and the smallest things feel like too much.

You wonder: Why can’t I just feel calm? Why do I keep overthinking everything?
We get it — and you’re not alone.

At Created to Shine Counseling, we help women like you move from survival mode to feeling grounded, whole, and at peace — without having to figure it all out on your own.

Maybe this sounds familiar...

  • You’re constantly anxious or overwhelmed, even when nothing's “wrong.”

  • You feel guilty for needing rest, so you push through the burnout.

  • You smile on the outside but feel disconnected or numb inside.

  • You’ve lost your spark — the version of you that felt confident and full of life.

  • You crave deeper relationships but feel stuck in old patterns.

These experiences are common — especially for women who have learned to carry the emotional load quietly.

Therapy is a space where you don’t have to be “on.”


It’s where you can be honest, unpack what’s heavy, and reconnect with the parts of you that feel lost.

We help women work through:

  • Anxiety, burnout, and people-pleasing

  • Overthinking and emotional exhaustion

  • Attachment wounds and relationship stress

  • Childhood emotional neglect or trauma

  • Identity shifts in motherhood, career, or faith

We help you feel safe enough to exhale — and slowly, confidently step into who you were created to be.

We don’t do surface-level work.

Our therapists bring warmth, clinical expertise, and a trauma-informed lens. Whether you’ve never done therapy before or you’ve been in it for years, we meet you where you are.

Some of the tools we might use:

  • EMDR therapy for deep emotional processing

  • Somatic practices to help your body feel safe

  • Christian counseling (if faith is important to you)

  • Attachment-focused therapy to improve your relationships

You set the pace — we help guide the way.

No pressure. No judgment. Just space to breathe.

We’re not here to fix you — because you’re not broken. We’re here to walk with you, help you make sense of what you're feeling, and empower you with tools that actually help in real life.

Sessions are available:

  • In-person in Houston (Memorial City area)

  • Virtually across Texas

  • After hours for busy women and working moms
    We accept major insurance plans and offer a free 15-minute consultation so you can see if we’re the right fit.

Schedule Your Free 15-Minute Consultation

Let’s make sure we’re the right fit — no pressure, no commitment.

During this brief call, we’ll:

  • Talk about what you're hoping to work on in therapy

  • Check our scheduling availability and find a time that works

  • Go over your insurance coverage — or help verify it for you

  • If we’re not the best match, I’ll gladly refer you to someone I trust in my professional network

This is simply a space to ask questions, feel things out, and take the first step toward support that feels right for you.
