Chinwe Nzerue-Obi
It is with great pride and humility that I come to you prepared to listen and talk so together we can work for you TO BE YOUR BEST SELF AND WHOM YOU ARE CREATED TO BE! My name is Chinwe Matilda Nzerue-Obi and I am Licensed as a Professional Counselor by the Texas Board of Examiners of Professional Counselors. I got my Masters Degree from University of Houston Victoria, Texas. Prior to this, I was an Attorney from Nigeria: having graduated from The Counsel of Legal Education, Victoria Island Lagos and with a Law degree from University of Jos. I am also a Certified Christian Counselor for the benefit of clients who draw strength from their faith. For Interventions, my theoretical approach is Solution Focused Brief Therapy because I believe that when people “need help, help can not wait”. I also use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help keep the mind and body whole. I have been privileged to help near school drop outs get back into school, stay in school, and graduate; helped couples at the brink of divorce save their marriage; worked with and helped people of all ages overcome – Anger, Anxiety, Depression, Grief, Substance use/abuse, Parenting and Relationship issues among others. I hold a Multicultural Counseling Certification and a Real Estate License too; all these have enhanced my ability to work across ages, cultures and countries. No matter what the issue is, you too can be helped. I believe that with determination and the will for a better life we will help you BE THE BEST YOU ARE CREATED TO BE and enjoy your best life!

Has your day-to-day life become overwhelming? Are you feeling lost along the path of life and unsure what to do next? I believe that we have what it takes to take back control and make our lives the best we can. However, sometimes we need some help making sense of things, and that is where I come in. I believe that with a trusting relationship and a willingness to examine all parts of ourselves, we can begin to find the answers we seek. Using a cognitive behavioral approach, I will work with you to help identify potentially problematic thought patterns that may be holding you back. Life can throw us curveballs, but that does not mean that we have to face things alone. I graduated from Sam Houston State University in 2018, and I am able to help with organization skills and ADHD, addictions, anger, depression and anxiety relief, and helping you see the world through a new light. Times may be tough, but let's see if we can conquer them together!

Matthew Kelley
Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or tired of talking about the same problems without real change? I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas who works with adults, teens, and veterans navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and everyday stressors. My style is straightforward, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that therapy should feel useful, not abstract or endless. I come from a background in education and counseling, and I’m especially drawn to working with veterans, adolescents, and clients who value practical tools alongside thoughtful conversation. I also have experience supporting individuals and families impacted by autism and neurodiversity, and I approach this work with patience, clarity, and respect for each person’s pace and goals. In sessions, I draw from evidence based approaches such as CBT, solution focused therapy, and trauma informed care, while staying flexible to what actually works for you. I don’t believe in one size fits all therapy. We focus on understanding patterns, building coping strategies, and making meaningful progress at a pace that feels realistic. Sessions are calm, direct, and engaging. We take the work seriously, but not ourselves. If you’re looking for a therapist who is grounded, honest, and genuinely invested in helping you move forward, I’d be glad to work with you.
