About A New Chapter
A New Chapter Counseling Services, previously known as Luna Counseling Houston, is a private practice that was birthed from the founder's own healing journey and a vision to help teens, adults, couples, and communities encounter
hope, healing, and transformation.
We have all heard the saying, "hurt people hurt people." But we don't often hear the fact that "healed people heal people." At the core of A New Chapter Counseling Services is a vision and a goal of healed people healing others. We believe that the same way that hate has the power to spread, so does healing, hope and love.
We believe that no matter where you are in life, or what you have been through, you are worthy of second chances and that your life truly matters. Whether you are needing support after a break up or job loss, or you have been battling symptoms of depression (or anxiety, trauma, self-harm, you name it), you're in good company.
At A New Chapter Counseling Services, our therapists are down to earth people who don't pretend to have all the answers. What we can ensure is that you will work with someone who has the qualifications, clinical experience, and credentials to partner with you in your own healing journey. Together, you will work towards overcoming challenges, building resilience and living a more fulfilling life.
No matter what you're facing, you don't have to go through it alone. Take the first step towards a brighter tomorrow by reaching out to us at A New Chapter Counseling Services.
We're here to support you every step of the way.
