Anger Management Therapists in Houston

Hello! I’m Catherine Mukes. As an NCC, LPC-S, and the Owner of Impact 4 Change, my life’s work for over two decades has been centered on a warm, stigma-free mission: creating a safe, culturally affirming space where you can let your guard down without having to over-explain your world. My path is built on a proud educational foundation, earning both my Bachelor’s in Psychology and my Master’s in Counseling from Louisiana State University (LSU). Over the past 20+ years, I’ve gathered a wealth of clinical experience. I’ve had the privilege of serving at-risk youth via the Galveston S.T.A.R. program, supported clients in PHP at DAPA, and spent over a decade as a Clinical Therapist and supervisor with The Harris Center here in Houston. Because real growth thrives with tangible tools, I am also an author. For individuals deepening their personal reflection, I wrote A Sister-Girl's Guided Journal through the therapeutic process. For couples, I authored The Talk Before the Walk—a workbook to help partners align their visions and build an unshakeable bond, which I love pairing with the trusted Prepare-Enrich curriculum. Beyond direct practice, I lead a dedicated and talented team and proudly supervise the next generation of LPC Associates. Whether you are an individual overcoming professional burnout or a couple intentionally strengthening your foundation, I bring my authentic self into the room so you can do the same. Reach out today, and let's take that first step together.

Welcome—I'm glad you're here. If you’ve been feeling like you’re holding your breath—just getting by, waiting for things to settle—you’re not alone. Sometimes, life after stress or trauma can feel like you’ve stopped fully breathing it in. This may be the moment to begin again—with intention, with support, and at your own pace. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Play Therapist offering secure virtual and in-person therapy for children, teens, and adults. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, or life transitions, I’m here to support you in a way that fits your life. I have a strong clinical focus in working with trauma survivors, including those living with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). I also offer EMDR therapy, a powerful, research-backed approach to healing trauma, distressing memories, and emotional overwhelm. I believe every person—no matter their age—has the capacity to heal, adapt, and thrive. When working with children and teens, I recognize the importance of family dynamics and often involve parents in the therapeutic process to support lasting change. Life can feel overwhelming at times—whether you're navigating anxiety, past trauma, depression, relationship stress, or simply trying to reconnect with yourself. Whatever you're carrying, you don’t have to face it alone. Let’s begin—gently, virtually, and with room to breathe again.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S) and the founder of Kevin Spain Counseling, with over a decade of experience helping individuals and couples navigate life’s challenges and find meaningful healing. I am passionate about creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel seen, heard, and understood. I work with couples and adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relational conflict, and major life transitions. I have extensive experience helping individuals process loss, rebuild emotional resilience, and develop healthier patterns in their relationships and daily lives. I also work with couples to strengthen communication, restore trust, and deepen emotional connection. My approach integrates evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, trauma-informed care (EMDR), somatic awareness, and attachment-focused interventions. I believe healing happens within safe relationships, and I strive to help clients better understand themselves, regulate emotions, and move forward with clarity and confidence. As a supervisor, I am committed to mentoring and developing future counselors with integrity and compassion. Outside of my counseling work, I have been married to my wife, Janna, for 15 years, and we have one child. My personal experiences as a husband and father deeply shape my understanding of relationships, family dynamics, and the importance of connection and support.
