Our Story: Built on Connection, Centered on You

At Connections Child and Family Center, our work is rooted in the belief that healthy relationships are the foundation for resilience and healing. From the very beginning, we’ve been committed to providing trauma-informed, inclusive care that supports the entire family system, because challenges rarely exist in isolation.

We began as a specialty practice focused on children, teens, and parents. Over the years, our work has expanded to include individual adults, couples, and families navigating the complex realities of life, stress, and relationships.

Who We Are

We are a team of psychologists, counselors, and mental health professionals who believe in leading with compassion, cultural humility, and clinical excellence. Our clinicians are trained in evidence-based approaches like DBT, CBT, play therapy, and parent-child interaction therapy, but it’s how we use those tools that sets us apart.

Our work is collaborative. We walk alongside you. Whether we’re supporting a 5-year-old with big emotions, a teen struggling with anxiety, or a parent facing burnout, we show up with curiosity, kindness, and commitment. 

Who We Help

At Connections Child and Family Center our services are designed to support every stage of life, from early childhood through adulthood. While our roots are in child and adolescent care, we now offer family and individual therapy in Houston for every stage of life. Our team supports clients navigating anxiety, identity transitions, burnout, emotional regulation, trauma recovery, and relationship challenges.

We now serve:

  • Children & teens working through anxiety, ADHD, or big emotions
  • Parents seeking support, coaching, or co-parenting tools
  • Young adults navigating college, career, or life transitions
  • Adults managing stress, burnout, or trauma
  • Couples striving for deeper connection or repair

We’re proud to support children, teens, and adults—because mental health doesn’t stop at childhood.

Our Values Direct our Care

We show up to work as our true selves. We are down to earth in our relationships. Fun, playfulness, and humor are a regular part of our work; therapy doesn’t have to be boring!

You know we can be counted on. We model respect, self-control, kindness, and strong boundaries. We will hold you accountable with love when it’s needed, because we care about helping you achieve your goals.

We believe that doing good clinical work requires support, and teamwork is the culture of our practice. Ongoing training, practicing what we preach and having fun while doing so are what separate us from your typical therapists. We truly believe we are better together.

We believe individuals and families are doing the best they can with what they know, and accept you where you are. We respect you, and your beliefs. We are inclusive and affirming to all.

We are committed to being consistent, accountable, and effective in our work. We are open to looking at our strengths, and refining our weaknesses, personally and professionally. We approach life with a growth mindset and believe we are never complete. There is always more to learn and more room to grow.

Our Mission

At Connections Child and Family Center, we have a 2-part mission.

1- To help families connect, communicate and relate. We offer exceptional, evidence-based treatment that is strengths based. We believe in the healing power of relationships and that families heal better together.

2- To be a training center for clinicians of all levels. We believe in investing in the clinicians of tomorrow.

Our Promise to You

Our goal is to work ourselves out of a job by helping you make lasting change.

We want you to walk away with tools to handle ANY of life’s challenges, to have loving and connected relationships, and to feel fulfilled in your life outside our office. We have helped hundreds of clients and we believe we have what it takes to help you too.

What Makes Us Different?

Connections Child and Family Center embraces a family-centered, strengths-focused, and relationship-based approach to healing. We recognize the profound impact that family dynamics and relationships have on emotional well-being. We use that lens to guide all our work, while also following our 4 part proven process for treatment success.

We use standardized assessments to learn about your strengths and weaknesses. That data helps us to make an accurate diagnosis. Psychological testing lets us deeply understand your unique needs to develop a targeted and effective treatment plan.

No cookie cutter treatment here. 

Science is cool and research shows us what treatment works best for different issues. We like to stay up-to-date and do what works, not just what we are used to. 

We work with you to figure out if there is a lack of skills to solve your problems. Unlike many other therapists who give you space to just unload your stress by talking, we teach you new tools to make lasting changes. We help you name your feelings, get calm, and communicate better.

Through carefully designed groups, you’ll also connect with others facing similar challenges. That chance for connection provides so much support and understanding of your experiences. You don’t have to do this alone. 

We deliberately hire clinicians with different types of education, training, and expertise. We constantly learn from each other, and are challenged to think outside our own box. You get the value of our combined knowledge and expertise and can relax knowing your therapist has a team at their back. We get support to do our best work.
