Alyssa had always kept herself busy with school and sports, using distractions to avoid dealing with her emotions. When she lost access to a previous therapist, she put off seeking help—until a family friend encouraged her to reach out to Family Houston. She expected formal intake questions and a structured process, but what she found was different. Her therapist immediately made her feel comfortable, creating a space where she could open up without fear.

“She made me feel so safe in such a short amount of time. It was different from what I expected, and that meant everything.”

-Alyssa
