Dr. Houben offers a relational, depth-oriented approach to therapy, assessment, and consultation — whether you're seeking deeper self-understanding, diagnostic clarity, or a trusted collaborator for your clinical work. What you'll find here is a space where your full humanity is welcome, and where change emerges not from formulas, but from authentic encounter. This is a place to be understood deeply, not just treated.
Whether in therapy, assessment, or consultation, my aim is to you meet you there — in the space between — where something new becomes possible.

Ready to Take the Next Step?
The first step is a complimentary 15-minute initial consultation—a brief conversation by phone or video to explore what brings you to therapy, answer any initial questions, and determine whether we might be a good fit. If we decide to move forward, we will schedule an initial session. This first meeting is an opportunity to go deeper into your history and concerns, and just as importantly, for you to assess whether you feel seen, understood, and comfortable with me as your therapist. The fit between us is the most important predictor of meaningful change, and I encourage you to trust your felt sense of whether this is the right place for you.
