Janel Wheeler
Licensed Professional Counselor (832) 717-7166 |
Serving Clients In Katy
I believe that counseling is an opportunity to learn more about yourself and your relationships. Life is so hectic and demanding these days that it’s easy to feel disconnected from your relationships and the life you dream of having. Whether you are having communication issues with loved ones or on the job, low self esteem or relationship issues, counseling can help.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in both Texas and Georgia. I earned a Master’s Degree in Community Counseling from Georgia State University in Atlanta, Georgia, and a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from the University of Louisiana—Lafayette in Lafayette, Louisiana. I am also a Master Addiction Counselor, and a Substance Abuse Professional certified to provide Department of Transportation evaluations. Deciding to begin therapy can be a difficult choice. It is my goal to build a strong connection with each individual or family I work with so that they feel comfortable and can fully benefit from the therapeutic process. My collaborative and supportive approach allows clients to draw on their strengths to overcome obstacles and make positive changes in their lives. What works for one person doesn’t always work for another. I tailor my approach to fit each client, and I utilize evidenced-based methods, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulnesss. When not working, I enjoy spending time with friends and exploring my new city of Houston. I also love to learn new ways of expressing my creative side, including knitting, making pottery and trying out new recipes. |

Suzanne Hornbuckle, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor (832) 717-7166 |
Serving Clients In Spring
Suzanne is an experienced counselor who has worked with all ages and types of people from all walks of life. She is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with the State of Texas and am also a nationally certified counselor (NBCC). A lifelong student of the human personality, she presented her original research on behavioral inhibition at Oxford University. Her work was published in Oxford's professional journal, THE FORUM. As a therapist, she has studied many ideas about how people grow and change. She uses all these ideas as invaluable "tools" for her craft.
Her basic premise is that people are smart about their own needs and wants. However, they have dilemmas and issues that may befuddle them temporarily. She uses as her basic underpinning a client-centered approach that respects the will and desires of the client. She believes that as we we grow up, we sometimes lose that "inner voice" or wisdom of the unconscious mind. Hence she also uses hypnosis and other "uncovering" and discovering tools. Call today to schedule an appointment with Suzanne. |
Cathy Birden, M.Ed, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor (832) 717-7166 |
Serving Clients In Spring & Katy
Hello, I am Cathy Birden, M.Ed, LPC and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I graduated from The University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. I also graduated from Sam Houston State University with a Master’s degree in Counseling.
I believe therapy is a way for you to get extra help when you need it. If you are struggling with a personal crisis, overwhelming emotion, a life transition, problems with friends or family members, or the need to move on from past events, counseling can help. A counseling relationship is unique. You are the professional concerning your life and I respect that through the therapeutic process. I am able to help guide you through the self-exploration necessary to discover new thoughts and feelings for the purpose of healing. Counseling is a way to take complex problems and break them down into workable parts. This can make it safer and easier to achieve the changes you want. Outside of private practice, I have also worked as a Licensed Professional School Counselor in Klein ISD. I am a professional member of the Texas Counseling Association and a certified member of the National Board of Certified Counselors. I will continue to educate myself by attending national and local conferences, and keeping up with current therapy research. When I am not working with clients I enjoy traveling, reading and spending time with my family. |
