Professional statement

Andrew Roberts, MA, LMFT received his B.S. of Psychology and Minor of Marriage and Family Studies from Brigham Young University-Idaho and his M.A. of Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Houston-Clear Lake. After completing his schooling, Andrew worked full-time as a clinical therapist at Devereux Advanced Behavioral Health in League City, working with teens from all over the country that were in residential treatment for a wide variety of issues, including (but not limited to): oppositional defiance/conduct concerns, mood instability, parent-child interaction, personality disorders (including Borderline Personality Disorder), suicidality and self-harm, substance use, and aggression.

Andrew employs various models of therapy depending upon the particular problem and the appropriate fit for the client. However, most of the treatment methods utilized incorporate a large cognitive-behavioral approach (including DBT/mindfulness skills). Relational therapies (whether couples or families) will also include an emotion-focused component.

In recent years, Andrew has transitioned into private practice, working primarily with teens and adults for issues of trauma, mood disorders, and relational concerns (whether marital or familial). His physical office is located in the Southeast Houston area near Johnson Space Center, although online sessions are also available and highly utilized.


Message to clients

One of the founding principles of my practice and my own therapeutic style is that emotion and rationality are not necessarily separate ideals, but rather that they assist each other to help a person make wise decisions. This principle can apply to as little a thing as what to eat for breakfast or as large a thing as what career to follow or who to marry or what choices to help your children make.

While therapy can be a humbling concept and often a difficult process, it also reaps great rewards. I enjoy seeing my clients make progress. As your therapist, I hope to assist you on your journey to live a happier and more peaceful life.
