Who we work with, How we roll, & the impact our community feels.

Is Modern Therapy in My Area? Yep!

Modern Therapy is a unique in-person and virtual psychology and coaching practice based out of Houston, TX. Our team approach, insane level of dedication to good therapy, and special attention to the high functioning professional dealing with life are what make us MT. You can instantly feel our humanistic approach when we don’t make assumptions or pathologize you for very normal reactions to living on Earth. We’re here to be on your side, and to use our savvy backgrounds to ask the questions that help you feel completely seen, understood, and empowered to create change and live well.

Some people look at therapy like it's going to the doctor. That's awesome, but when it comes to MT, we're not your hospital. We're your personal trainer. We'll help you get to know your emotional self, where your injuries lie, and support you in your healing and strength to perform higher and healthier than ever before. 

Our clients come with an immediate life area they'd like support with, and they stay for continuous growth. We don't just help you move through an immediate challenge. We'll help you deepen your understanding of self and take your life even further. We live to help you live to your fullest.

Although MT works with a range of emotional concerns and growth-driven life goals, Modern Therapy has a special interest in working with motivated individuals with an open, reflective mindset, and are driven to live with meaning and purpose. All work is taken on with the respect, creativity, and heart that it deserves.

 Confronted with life at the moment? We're highly trained to help with:

  • Chronic and acute stress due to socio-political impacts / navigating distressing work environments / related challenges

  • Identity / Relationship to Self

  • Unique experiences related to LGBTQ+ (exploration, coming out, challenges within family or other systems, fertility and family formation, etc.)

  • Men’s issues / lack of emotional space to process internal experiences

  • Over-functioning / Over-work / High pressure experiences

Humanistic Philosophy

The real world calls for real therapy. In our fast-paced, solution-focused culture, it also calls for deep therapy. That's why we only hire the most passionate, growth-driven, insatiably curious therapists in Houston. We go the long haul in our commitment to helping you gain real insight and traction in your movement toward your goals while also helping you achieve a deeper, transformational experience. We want to truly hear you and understand you as you are. Therapy is a process. It unfolds as we delve into your experience in the world. Insights and tailored suggestions arise from there. We are sensitive in our approach to hearing your story and making room for all of you, including the areas of spirituality, culture, and other domains that shape who you are. We operate from a humanistic foundation and incorporate empirically validated techniques to assist you in reaching your goals.
