Recognizing it
How people describe PTSD
PTSD can follow a crash, an assault, combat, a medical emergency or a long stretch of danger.
Pulled back into it
Out of nowhere you are there again: the sounds, the fear, the racing heart. Afterwards you feel wrung out.
Scanning every room
Crowds, sudden noises and people behind you keep you on guard. Relaxing feels unsafe.
Sleep that brings no rest
You lie awake, or wake from dreams about it. The exhaustion carries into everything else.
What we practice
What PTSD counseling in Katy works on
- Coming back to nowSkills for noticing a flashback early and anchoring yourself in the room, rehearsed until they feel automatic.
- Nights that go betterA wind-down routine and a plan for what to do after a nightmare wakes you.
- Rethinking what it meantExamining beliefs the event left, like “it was my fault” or “nowhere is safe”, and testing whether they hold.
- Returning to avoided placesGradually going back to the places, people and activities PTSD has taken off the table, in steps you choose.
How it runs here
PTSD treatment on Kingsland Boulevard
The work follows a clear order: stability first, then the reminders you avoid, then the meaning the event carries for you. Each stage is explained before you begin it.
The methods are mainly cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).

Before you book
Common questions about PTSD counseling in Katy
Can I come in without a PTSD diagnosis?
Yes. Many people with PTSD have never been formally assessed, and you can start with the symptom that costs you most.
Is it PTSD or ADHD?
Both can bring poor concentration, restlessness and irritability. ADHD has usually been there since childhood, while PTSD symptoms start after a frightening event and often come with nightmares and startle.
It is possible to have both. We also offer ADHD therapy for adults in Katy.
Does PTSD always start right after the event?
It can surface months or even years later, sometimes when a new stress or a reminder comes along. Late-starting PTSD is worked on in the same way.
Is EMDR better than talk therapy for PTSD?
Both EMDR and trauma-focused CBT are recommended for PTSD, and trials comparing them head to head have found broadly similar results.
The better fit is usually the one you can stick with, and Maria Landa can walk you through both before you choose.
Can counseling help when PTSD affects my relationship?
PTSD can strain closeness and communication. In individual counseling, you can work on triggers and decide how to explain your needs to your partner.
What is a first session like?
It starts with one short form, in your own words. We read it, match you with a counselor, and tell you the estimated cost before you book.
From there you can start with a free consultation or go straight to a first session with your counselor. Sessions are weekly and one to one, in person at our Kingsland Boulevard office or by secure video from anywhere in Texas.
Nobody will ask you to retell the event; the first hour is about how PTSD is affecting you now.
What if the first counselor is not the right fit?
Tell us. Fit matters more than almost anything else in whether counseling helps, so we do not treat it as a complaint.
Under the Reset, your first session with a new counselor is free. The Reset is about fit only, not a promise about results.
