Therapists for college students near Rice University
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Clinical Certified Trauma Professional (CCTP), proudly born and raised in Brownsville, Texas. With a strong commitment to mental wellness, I provide compassionate, individualized care designed to support clients in achieving emotional, psychological, and behavioral well-being. My approach to therapy is grounded in evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Informed Care, and Motivational Interviewing. These modalities allow me to support clients in understanding their emotions, building resilience, and creating lasting, positive change. With 13 years of experience in law enforcement, I bring a unique perspective to my practice. I understand the complex demands of high-stress careers and offer specialized support for individuals experiencing PTSD, depression, and other mental health challenges associated with such professions.
Holistic health is my focus and each client co-creates a treatment plan with me that takes into account their unique background, lifestyle, and beliefs. My approach relies on motivational interviewing and client-centered therapy to empower and advocate alongside my clients so that they can meet their goals.
Hello! I am Dr. Kathleen Wallace and I bring over a decade of experience counseling individuals as well as the education to maximize change within clients' lives. I work with people who struggle to build the quality of life that they desire. I help people identify their goals and co-create ways for them to begin working toward accomplishing those goals. I believe that people have the courage and strength to grow into who they want to become and that I can partner with them to do the work it takes to identify and realize their unique potential. I implement person-centered and strength-based approaches to build from each person's resilience and past successes. I became a counselor to partner with those hurting and seeking healing. I love building relationships and guiding growth that leads to the change my clients seek, and then celebrating those successes.

It is my goal to work collaboratively with you to improve your quality of life, all while discovering your authentic self, and achieving greater daily satisfaction. I believe that developing insight and self-awareness are essential components of therapy. My goal is to not only create a safe therapeutic atmosphere where change and growth can occur, but to help you develop the skills and solutions that will impact how you relate to others and the world around you. I strongly believe that change, healing, and growth are attainable, but I also recognize how difficult it can be to move forward when struggling with problems alone. In my practice, I view myself as a ‘fellow traveler’ on your path towards balance and wholeness. It is my overall aim to help you build a “tool box” of skills that will enable you to cope more effectively when faced with challenges or adversity. In addition to the individual work I do with adults, I am passionate and skilled in working with adolescents, and Special Needs Parents as well. I have training and experience in helping individuals cope and heal from a variety of issues including trauma/abuse, anxiety, or life transitions. I also specialize in providing a safe therapeutic space for individuals who identify as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, Person of Color).

Hi! I am a licensed professional counselor and graduate of Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas. I also hold a Master degree in School Counseling. My pursuit of a counseling degree began after 9 years of teaching elementary students. That experience helped me come to terms with my passion for students to succeed in every aspect of their lives.
College can be exciting—and overwhelming at the same time. Many students come to counseling feeling stressed, burned out, unsure of who they are becoming, or anxious about the future. You might be juggling classes, work, relationships, family expectations, and big questions about identity and direction—while feeling like you’re supposed to have it all figured out. I provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where college students and young adults can slow down, process what they’re carrying, and feel genuinely understood. Counseling with me is collaborative, practical, and focused on helping you feel more grounded, confident, and clear as you move forward. I Work With Students Navigating: *Academic stress, burnout, and pressure to perform *Anxiety, overthinking, and constant mental fatigue *Identity exploration (values, purpose, faith, culture, self-worth) *Life transitions (starting college, transferring, graduating, post-grad uncertainty) *Career uncertainty, major decisions, and fear of “choosing wrong” *Relationship challenges (dating, friendships, family dynamics) *Perfectionism, people-pleasing, and imposter syndrome *Feeling lost, stuck, or disconnected from yourself You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from counseling—many students come simply because they want support during a demanding season of life. My approach is warm, thoughtful, and grounded in evidence-based counseling practices. Sessions are a space where you can talk openly, ask questions, and develop tools that actually help in daily life—whether that’s managing stress, improving boundaries, or making sense of who you’re becoming. If you are a Christian who values faith as part of your life, I also offer Christian counseling upon request. This is always optional and guided by your comfort level.
I believe that everyone deserves to live a fulfilling and meaningful life. I specialize in providing a safe and supportive environment where individuals can explore challenges, (re)discover their strengths, and develop effective strategies for positive change. I have experience working with eating disorders and body image disturbances and look forward to assisting you boost self-esteem and self-worth.

Each one of us has our own approach to activism and our own challenges. We can work through those, so you can stay in action and keep making progress and also rest when needed and recharge. My approach is warm and holistic. Each one has our own approach to activism and challenges, too. Together we can find a balance. With over 20 years in community organizing and leadership, I understand that your service work is important, that to be heard is to heal, to recognize is to solve and that we all have the power to change lives. I believe healing is contagious: when one person begins to thrive, it ripples outward, touching relationships, communities and the world. Your journey is just as important as everyone else's and you deserve a space to recognize that, reflect on solutions and make a plans for greater happiness. I invite you to reach out and let's begin on the road.

My clients would describe me as easy to talk to, a great listener, honest, and informed.

Hi there! College can be exciting, messy, overwhelming, and everything in between—and you don’t have to figure it all out alone. My practice is a space where you can show up as your full self—no code-switching, no shrinking, no pretending. I center students who’ve felt “othered,” whether that’s because of race, gender identity, sexuality, or just not fitting into the mold of what college “should” look like. As a queer, Black provider, I understand how hard it can be to find support that gets it, so I bring compassion, honesty, and a real understanding of the unique challenges BIPOC and LGBTQ+ students face. Whether you’re navigating identity, relationships, stress, or just trying to make it through the semester, I’m here to hold space for all of it. Therapy with me is collaborative, validating, and never one-size-fits-all—because you deserve care that sees you. You belong here.
