Therapy

Therapy offers a dedicated space for growth, healing, and self-exploration.

Dr. Rena Pazienza provides inclusive individual and couples counseling for adults (18+) in Texas and Oregon.

  • Individual Counseling: Whether you're seeking help for specific a issue like depression, burnout, grief, or trauma, or you're interested in personal growth and self-exploration, individual therapy will start with a comprehensive introductory session to understand your unique goals. From there, a personalized treatment plan will be crafted to support and empower you to achieve them. Discover more about Dr. Pazienza’s treatment approach here.

  • Couples Counseling: At Luz Psychology, couples counseling is guided by the empirically-supported Gottman Method. Therapy will aim to help couples enhance intimacy, respect, and affection, improve conflict resolution, and foster a deeper sense of empathy and understanding. Together, we will focus on 3 key areas:

    1. Friendship

    2. Conflict Management

    3. Creation of Shared Meaning

    Therapy will begin with an assessment phase to help us identify strengths, barriers, and treatment goals. Together, we will determine the appropriate frequency and duration of treatment.
