Although she is not covered through my insurance she is sweet enough to work out a plan that works for me.

If you need any form of therapy I do recommend coming to see Dr. Shana Clark!

I don't want to get political or bring up any controversy, but the series of recent and…read moreunbelievably tragic events has brought up many subjects - including mental health. ...So here's my review for Shana Clark. We all have our stresses: Work, relationships, family, friends ... and you can't always turn to close friends and/or family because A) They're your stress triggers or B) They can't give you unbiased feedback. Especially my family. Opinions, opinions, opinions. Sometimes, you need a professional. Shana Clark is a licensed professional counselor, and she specializes in so many issues: relationships/couples counseling, anger management, career counseling, problem solving, drug/alcohol abuse, grief/loss, anxiety ... I like that she has a spiritual background, and she is one of the few in people in Houston who uses the Thought Field Therapy/Emotional Freedom Therapy (TFT/EFT) and Tapas Acupressure Technique (TAT) aka "tapping" to clear of any negative emotions, energy and thoughts. She's also very honest and doesn't "shrink" you ... she tells it like it is based on professional experience. I dig it.

Rose is one of the best counselors I have ever had. First, she is well versed in the current…read moreresearch, offering articles and books when relevant to the topic. Second, she is a gentle, yet direct communicator, offering her observations per the patterns that appear and how their effects play into the dynamics of the relationship. Third, she is deeply compassionate in how she holds space for her clients. She is trauma-informed, and able to lessen the anxiety one holds around it, using a variety of techniques to diffuse it. While she does not refrain from holding her clients accountable, she is tender in how she delivers her assessments, offering her client(s) a variety of methods to reprogram the energetic. She has an extensive educational background, covering a vast spectrum of behaviors, disorders, and dysfunctions. While I wasn't always comfortable hearing about my growth points, she was spot on per the drivers of my behaviors and what I could do to navigate relationship with myself differently, thus influencing how I was able to show up differently in relationship with others. While my goal was to have my relationship saved by coming to couples counseling, what ended up happening was that I got saved...from my partner's subtle manipulations, from abuse to which I had become desensitized, and from my unhealthy pattern of staying way too long in a relationship that did not serve me. I appreciate her rigorous training in assessing people and know that in Rose's calling my partner to task, I felt validated, and once I felt validated, I had more confidence to demand more, and when more was not an option my partner was willing to give, my exit became available with zero guilt, and little regret. I have continued to see Rose individually and know I have benefited from her wisdom.

Before pursuing Rose please do your research. Read reviews and look up credentials, while Rose IS…read morelicensed, she is NOT a licensed professional counselor, but a licensed social worker.

He was eager to learn, felt a call to leave corporate America to become a counselor, and impressed me with his genuine attitude of care and concern for others--his clients and his colleagues. For several years I worked closely with Gary as one of his clinical supervisors in the early years of his career. Through him I was able to learn about Renewing Hope and their Christian values. I came to trust Renewing Hope very much and I have at times referred people to them because I believe they do good work. Gary has become a very experienced licensed counselor whom I trust and recommend.

Petrene told me it would be…read morefive years before my daughter started looking at her own behavior and emotions, it would take that long and to just be patient. Well, Petrene was spot on -- it's five years later and my daughter has done a lot of personal growth in the last couple of years, and recently she and I have reconciled. If I hadn't had Petrene's advice, I would not have been as patient and that probably would have been detrimental to the situation. She sees right to the core of a personal situation and helps with not only the emotions, but with the communication issues and the human interactive responses. Amazing. I feel Petrene is a great counselor with second sight.

I only say on and off because it depends on availability, location and where I was residing at the time. I have always had exceptional service, the doctors are always incredible, have great bed side manner. I also have brought my children and the staff has always been so patient with them. The offer many services from dental, mental health and to a wide variety of ages. They offer assistance to those who need it or are without insurance. I have never used it but have met patients in the waiting room who thrived about how easy and smooth the process was. They also told me what a breathe of fresh air it was to know they are getting great treatment without worrying about how they are going to be able to pay for the services. I wish there were more locations in my area besides dental as I would be going to Compass more often.

Unfortunately, I would not recommend Stephanie D. McKenzie for couple counseling. I struggled with…read morerather or not to write this review, but I think it's worth telling. My partner wanted to give her a try. So we went to see her 3-4 times over the course of 1-2 years. We didn't see her often for two reasons, she was often unavailable and we both have done a horrible job of following through. Most sessions were just casual talking. There didn't seem to be anything organized before we arrived. Some form of homework was typically given. The sessions were done as a couple... there was one session in which he was sent out of the room and she talked to me for 20 minutes. So I genuinely felt like she didn't get to know me, not her fault at all. We just didn't go enough times. Which brings me to my next point... most recently, my partner wanted us both to go again. He emailed her and she told him... there was no need to bring me that I wasn't open to forgiveness. I was shocked. This really hurt me and I really found this to be quite unprofessional because she did not reach out to me at all. Even if I did give off that vibe... it's just not true. I want forgiveness for myself but I've struggled getting there having been hurt badly in the relationship. Hence why we were there. Never in a million years did I expect to get written off for the very thing I wanted help with. I did reach out to her and her response to me was my "energy" never showed an interest to heal. And she wishes I would heal. And "I'll need to do that". So if you're an imperfect being struggling with unforgiveness... this is not a safe place to heal. I would strongly suggest going elsewhere. Update: For clarification. Stephanie did not reach out to me with opportunities to meet as mentioned below.
