History
Established in 2008.
For over 15 years, Karitas Counseling has provided mental health counseling to the Houston and surrounding areas. The owner's mission began with a focus on a term learned during graduate studies - Caritas. Caritas refers to the Christian love of humankind. This principle has been the driving force in all that we've done such as partnering up with other professionals that have a caring and compassionate heart for those experiencing hurt, loneliness and feeling lost in this world. Our professional and humble team partners up with members of the community to achieve health, wellness and happiness.
