Center For Couples Counseling

We are a team of highly trained therapists specializing in couples and individual therapy, infertili Therapy can help.

We all face challenges in life and get into situations where it feels as though there's no way out. You may be dealing with relationship distress, difficult transitions, grieving a loss, struggling with infertility, or transitioning into parenthood. Therapy is a place where you can talk openly, find support, and gain coping skills for dealing with life in a more effective way. Every small step you

take can make a big impact on your life. Making the decision to go to therapy is not an easy one. You may feel scared to talk to a stranger, or wonder how someone else can help you with your problems. Many people believe they will be labeled as "crazy." What's so crazy about wanting to feel better? I will work with you in a nonjudgmental and respectful way, broaden your ideas and perspectives, challenge your thinking and relationship patterns, and empower you to make lasting changes in your life. I will be there to keep you motivated and accountable. If you are contemplating therapy or working with me, please take a look at my website, erikalabuzanlopeztherapy.com. My website will provide you with more information about me, my therapeutic style and approach, as well as frequently asked questions and answers. I offer free 20 minute phone consultations as well. Please call me at (832) 827-3288 so that we can discuss more about your needs, goals, and what you are looking for in a therapist.

Continuing along with our Pride Celebration blog series, today we're exploring the power of inclusive language. At the heart of every loving relationship is a sense of being seen and understood. For many couples—especially those in LGBTQ+ relationships—this basic need often gets lost in translation. That’s where inclusive language comes in. Whether you identify as LGBTQ+ or not, the words we use with our partners (and the professionals we work with) carry weight. They can affirm, exclude, clarify, or confuse. And in therapy, language becomes a tool for deepening connection—or reinforcing distance.

We're continuing our blog series this week in honor of Pride Month by exploring holding hands in public and other micro-moments that create safety and intimacy in all types of relationships. For those of us in straight relationships, it's easy to take for granted the smallest gestures that we are safe to engage in at any time. These same acts are often carefully considered in the LGBT+ community. In a world that doesn't always make room for you, we want you to know we see you, honor you, and welcome public displays of affection that are meaningful to you.
