THERAPY FOR ADULTS NAVIGATING MIDLIFE CHALLENGES IN THE WOODLANDS, TX and VIRTUALLY

 

Kellie Klinck, LPC-S, Owner and Therapist at KK Therapy Group, PLLC.

Midlife is one of the most psychologically complex times in our lives, yet no one really talks about it. We hear about the physical health changes, but what about our mental, emotional, and spiritual shifts?

The truth is, EVERYTHING changes in midlife. Relationships evolve, children grow up, careers change, parents age, and the awareness of time becomes more real.

Is it any wonder these experiences can lead to anxiety, depression, loss of motivation, or a feeling of being lost?

WHAT IS MIDLIFE?

Depending on who you ask, midlife is somewhere between 40 and 65.

Midlife is the season when life starts asking different questions.
You may have built a career, raised a family, or spent years taking care of others, and suddenly, what used to work no longer feels right. Many people in midlife notice shifts in their relationships, bodies, priorities, and sense of purpose.

It can bring up feelings like

  • restlessness or dissatisfaction

  • grief for what didn’t happen

  • fear of getting older

  • loneliness or disconnection

  • desire for something more meaningful

This stage is not a crisis for everyone, but it is often a turning point. Therapy can help you understand what is changing and decide how you want the next chapter of your life to look.

This is why I focused my work here. This is the deeper work. Therapy will be a safe space for what often goes unsaid. If you want to feel more intimacy with your partner, we will explore that. If you’re in the middle of caregiving for an ill parent while juggling the demands of the modern world, let’s discuss the give and take of caregiving. Or maybe you feel the weight of time passing and want to realign with values and purpose. I am your gal. All of it is welcome here.

MY STYLE OF THERAPY

Compassionate. Skilled. Relatable.

First and foremost, you should know I operate from a Humanistic perspective on human behavior and change.

Humanistic focuses on helping you understand yourself more deeply, build self-acceptance, and create meaningful change.

Rather than focusing only on symptoms, I look at your whole person, including your emotions, values, relationships, and life experiences, so you can feel more authentic, connected, and fulfilled.

I lean more into evidence-based “bottom-up” approaches, focusing on the body, nervous system, and emotional experience first, rather than starting with thoughts or logic. While I think it is helpful to notice and question our thoughts, real healing happens in the body. Bottom-up therapy helps you change how your body feels so your mind can follow. My chosen modalities are:

Internal Family Systems
Existential
Narrative Therapy
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral
Interpersonal
Relational Trauma and Attachment Healing
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
EMDR
Ecotherapy

 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • I work for my private practice, KK Therapy Group, PLLC. I have two offices - one in Houston and one in the Woodlands.

    I am in The Woodlands on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays between 8:00 am and 6:00 pm. My office is at the intersection New Trails and Technology Forest.

    I am in north Houston on Wednesdays and Fridays between 9:00 am and 3:00 pm. My office is located near 610/1-10 interchange and close to The Galleria and Garden Oaks.

    Limited extended Saturday sessions are available at either location.es here

  • Sessions are $235. This includes any support between sessions as well (i.e. book recommendations, 15-minute accountability check-ins, resource referrals). I offer a limited number of sliding scale sessions, so please inquire for more information!

  • I am able to accept all major credit cards and HSA cards.

  • This is such a hard one. I am not an approved provider. However, many clients have success with reimbursement for services. I always suggest asking your provider what benefits exist for mental health services. Sometimes you’ll be surprised! I can give you a Superbill if needed!

  • It is always best to start with weekly sessions for 4-8 weeks. This is how we build our relationship (super important!) and start making progress. From there, we downshift into biweekly or monthly to maintain new habits and continue building on the positive changes you’ve made.

  • I kindly ask for at least 24 hours’ notice of cancellation. This helps me to fit in clients on the waitlist or allocate my time in other ways. The fee for late cancellation is the full cost of the session. Cancellation requests can be made via email or text.

    Our online scheduling system has automatic reminders to help avoid unnecessary late cances.

  • I am not a licensed couples or family therapist. I have amazing referrals, though, if needed!

  • Privacy is super important in this work, so please send me an email from your email on file, and I will link you to the client portal to complete the Release of Information documentation. I can not release records without your consent.

  • The first session is an intake. I will use this time to better understand what is bringing you in to therapy, your history, and your goals for treatment. This is also when we get to spend time with one another and make sure we are a good fit.

  • I will not take it personally! Your care is my number one priority and I know from experience a bad fit goes nowhere quick. Your time and energy are valuable, so just let me know and I’ll work to find you a good referral.

  • Yep! Both locations are accessible via ramp or elevator from parking areas.
