Katy Kong
I provide focused, direct therapy for adults and couples across Texas. If you’re ready to look honestly at the patterns shaping your reactions and relationships, we’ll work well together. Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable people who feel stuck in repeating cycles — defensiveness, withdrawal, over-functioning, or the same arguments that never get resolved. My work is trauma-informed, which means we pay attention to how past experiences shape present reactions. I help you recognize these patterns as they happen and understand what they’re protecting. When we can see the pattern clearly, we can begin to change it. I also work extensively with adults navigating ADHD, particularly when it affects emotional regulation, communication, and self-esteem. With couples, I focus on identifying reactive cycles and building clearer, more accountable communication. Therapy with me is structured, honest, and grounded in safety. We move at a pace that is challenging but not overwhelming. If you’re ready to move beyond surface-level conversations and make meaningful change, I’d be glad to work with you.

Gloria Cooper
Greetings! My name is Gloria Cooper, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, and a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor. Additionally, I have a Certification as an Early Childhood Intervention Therapist (ECIT) I have acquired 12 years of experience providing individual and family therapy for clients with a variety of emotional, psychological and social needs. My goal is to assist clients in being at their optimal, through a variety of therapeutic techniques. My primary approach is Cognitive Behavior Therapy, a power technique, that assist the client in exploring and eliminating negative thinking patterns that are worsening their depression, anger and anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy assists the client in exploring inner conflicts that are leading to faulty thinking patterns. These two therapies help my clients build psychological tools, and resources needed to overcome the barriers that are preventing them from being their best selves. My clients are able to speak freely, and feel they are in a safe environment to be themselves. I believe this is the most important role of a good therapist. Throughout the therapeutic process, you will feel that you are being heard, validated and not judged. You will be in a position to grow emotionally at your own rate, not mine. You and I will work together, to help you achieve goals that are important to you.
