Helping you Overcome Concerns about Anxiety, Trauma, and Parenting

Maybe you're just tired of pretending you've got everything under control. Each morning, you might wake up with a knot in your stomach and a quiet fear that you'll never feel at peace. It's not just one thing weighing you down, maybe it's a mix of old hurts, everyday stress, and that nagging voice telling you that you're not enough. By the end of the day, you're drained, and you still wonder how you'll face tomorrow.


  • Holding in your pain only makes it grow stronger
  • It manifests as sleepless nights and unexpected anger toward loved ones

  • Sometimes it seems like you've reached the end of your rope

Hi, I'm Charlotte Almeida

— Licensed Professional Counselor Serving Houston

Maybe you're afraid to trust counselors, maybe you've tried therapy in the past, and it wasn't a good fit, but you're tired of waking up with racing thoughts, I get it. I know it's hard to face old hurts head on, and that’s why I’m committed to walking beside you as you work toward real personal growth. My own history, with the struggles I have faced, has shaped the compassion I bring to each session, and I admire your courage for taking this step.


I rely on empathy and approaches like EMDR to create a safe place for you to open up. I want you to feel free to share your story, knowing I’ll meet you with understanding, not judgment.


Each session is guided by your unique needs, and we’ll work together to uncover the deeper reasons behind your struggles. Whether you’re dealing with trauma, codependency, or a relationship concern, I’m here to help you grow in resilience, cultivate self-compassion, and find lasting change.

My Areas of Focus

EMDR Therapy

EMDR therapy helps process trauma by using bilateral stimulation, which reduces emotional distress, improves mental clarity, and helps clients heal from past and present painful experiences

Trauma Therapy

Trauma therapy focuses on healing deep, long-term emotional wounds. It addresses symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and dysfunctional coping mechanisms caused by prolonged exposure to trauma.
