Picture of person Black therapist Houston

You’re the one everybody goes to when they need help. They assume you have it all together because of your career success. But no one sees your struggle.

You’ve tried reading self help books, watching videos, praying and struggling all by yourself. You feel so emotionally drained and overwhelmed that it’s affecting your sleep and your relationship.

I’m here to simplify the therapy process

My name is Ibinye (pronounced ee-been-yay). I’m a Black Christian immigrant therapist in Houston, TX. I know what it feels like to be different. I’ll help you learn how to put your needs back on the forefront and show up authentically.

I help women like you move from fear, insecurity and anxiety, to calm and confidence.

a bit about me

I’m not just a nod and smile therapist. I believe therapy should work. That means setting clear goals when we start our work and meeting weekly until your goals are complete. I check in with you periodically to make sure we’re actually on track. No time wasting here.
We’ll laugh A LOT in therapy. Life is short, so we can’t be serious all the time. Most of my clients wonder why they didn't come to me sooner.
I’m a Christian therapist in Houston who loves to incorporate Bible into our work (if you want me to). I don’t interpret scripture or indoctrinate my clients. I leave that to your pastor and The Holy Spirit.
I give you actual tools to help you tackle the hard things. That means homework. It could be a journal prompt, a challenge or just something for you to ponder. I only work with women and couples who are ready to do the work.
I’m a Nigerian immigrant who is extra passionate about helping women heal from trauma and anxiety, lead with their hearts and show up with authenticity.
Therapy with me is easy. That means show up as you are. I don’t care if you have a bonnet on your head, if you’re doing therapy in your car, if you’re carrying your baby in session or if you’re dressed to the nines. All I care about is that you are comfortable in session.
I only take on clients I can actually get great results for. I’m not the therapist for everyone. If we schedule a consult call and we’re not a great fit, I’ll refer you to someone who can best serve you. It’s at the core of my ethics and values.
I’m a blogger. I have over 80 blog posts that answer majority of the questions you probably have. I pride myself in being super helpful and making the therapy process easy. Check it out.

Here’s the academic stuff you probably want to know about

I have a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Loma Linda University.

I’m licensed in California (#93384) and Texas (#204180). Look me up to ensure I’m legit.
I’m trained in Brainspotting Therapy phase 1 and 2, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Gottman Method couples therapy level 1 and 2, and many more areas. If I were to list them all, you’d be sick of me.

Here’s a snapshot of the clients I typically work with:

Women with insomnia who want to fall sleep and stay asleep without medications in 6 weeks.

Couples who want to stop fighting, become best friends and actually learn how to talk to each other.

Women with anxiety who were raised in toxic family environments, who want to find their fit in the world, use their voice and learn how to set clear boundaries. Some of my clients are immigrants, first generation Americans, women of color, high achieving women and Highly Sensitive People (HSPs).

I only take on clients whom I know I can help. All other clients will be referred out.
