Black Therapist in Houston, TX

I’m also a licensed therapist in CA

I’m a Black therapist in Houston who’s dedicated to simplifying the therapy process

My name is Ibinye (pronounced ee-been-yay).  I’m a Black Christian immigrant therapist in Houston, TX. I’m a highly sensitive person who used to be a people pleaser and perfectionist.

I get you.

I help women like you move from doing too much 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.

• I have an obsession with great quality sleep, standing up for yourself and breaking unhealthy generational cycles.

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, Prepare-Enrich 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:

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

Therapy with me is always individualized to suit your specific needs. Here’s my process

2. ​During our first session together, we’ll identify what's not working for you and create specific, achievable goals together. I’m not here to just nod and smile. I’ll give you actual tools to help you.

About You

• “I’m too much.”

Is this you? You’ve come to the right anxiety therapist in Houston.

Anxiety & overwhelm consume you

You spend so much time collecting accolades and performing at a high level- but you’ve ignored your emotions. Life feels like a scam.

Everyone comes to you for help, but your needs are on the back burner. You’re emotionally drained.

Your career is amazing and life looks great on the outside, but you’re so lonely. Even your spouse doesn’t know the depths of the trauma and anxiety. Your sleep quality is awful.

You want to get rid of trauma, set better boundaries and halt perfectionism

You spend so much time giving to and pleasing everyone- but no one really knows you. If things continue this way, you’re afraid that the anxiety will consume you. You want to learn how to slow down, find real joy, say what you really mean, set healthy boundaries, rest and truly embrace life.

This is where brainspotting trauma therapy in Houston comes in
