Rekindling Love in the Heart of Texas: Houston’s Therapeutic Haven

Houston makes an ideal spot for intensive couples therapy because it’s so easy to reach—with direct flights from everywhere, couples don’t add travel stress to an already emotional journey. The city offers the perfect blend of energizing urban culture and peaceful retreats like Buffalo Bayou Park, creating just the right environment for relationship work. Plus, Houston’s incredible diversity means couples from all backgrounds feel welcomed and understood during their intensive couples retreat experience.

And when the intensive work concludes each day, Houston’s renowned culinary scene and museum district offer perfect opportunities for couples to practice their new communication tools in relaxed settings before returning home.

About The Therapist
I believe that a good therapist is one who connects with clients and their worldviews in a meaningful way and can help change a person’s life forever. This change can create ripples of wellness/happiness/hope/enjoyment of life/purpose for everyone in the person’s life.

Welcome to My Houston office.

Location: 11211 Katy Fwy, Houston, TX 77079

Thirty minutes from: George Bush Intercontinental Airport

Welcome to My Office

I work out of my office in West Houston, in the Energy Corridor. People from all over the world live and work in this area. My office is in the executive suites wing, at the end of a hall, a very private setting. My office feels like a living room, comfy and calm.  It’s pretty roomy as well.  It’s easy to move the furniture around to suit the work I’m doing in couples therapy.

  • She is exceptionally good at what she does.

    She changed our lives and we will be forever grateful. Marisa finally got through to my husband, who had been struggling with deep jealousy issues since the beginning of our marriage.

    I was skeptical that any therapy would work for us but the husband that walked out at the end of our intensive was the guy that I fell in love with and wanted to be married to all along.

    Recent client reports

  • I was certain I would not be able to get over what my husband has done.

    Our marriage was fractured. Trust had been violated in a big way and I was reeling from my husband’s infidelity. Marisa Mundey was incredibly good at demonstrating empathy, and creating space for both my husband and I to share our thoughts.

    I felt heard and understood for the first time in a long time. I felt validated in my concerns, and I felt like I got a chance to say what I wanted. And now I can start to heal.

    Recent client reports

  • I thought that it would be a “bash the husband” session.

    But she was very bi-partisan and listened to both of our issues. Marisa is a great therapist and really helped both of us get through this rough patch. We are talking again and connecting daily about the little things.

    Recent client reports

  • We needed help with how to navigate gridlock.

    We are now more mindful of the strategies we can employ from the handbook and make it a priority of the state of the union. We also have more of an inner calmness. We are communicating better.

    Recent client reports

  • The dark cloud over our marriage seems to be clearing.

    We chose CTI because of the ability to concentrate on significant work in a short period of time. We already seem to be communicating. Our intimacy has returned. The dark cloud over our marriage seems to be clearing.

Please note:

These weekend therapy retreats are not a magic formula. If one of you has little motivation to work on your marriage in a sincere way or is seriously considering divorce, your therapist may recommend a discernment counseling retreat instead of our couples THERAPY retreat.

Your willingness and interest in improving your marriage is essential for this work to succeed. It takes both of you to be open and willing to change.

Couples therapy (including John Gottman’s methods and Emotionally focused therapy) does not work with the following: domestic violence, suicide prevention, personality disorders or alcohol and drug abuse that requires inpatient care.

Seek professional individual mental health services. Finding mental health professionals who have specifically trained is your best option.
