-- Therapy in Houston looks different at Destination Therapy. The practice was built for the adults who appear to have it all together on the outside while quietly carrying far more than anyone around them realizes. These are ambitious, capable, deeply caring people: driven professionals, partners, parents, and caregivers who have spent years being the dependable one, the strong one, the one who manages everything. By the time they reach out, many are running on empty and wondering how much longer they can keep going at this pace.
Founded by Monique Dunn, LCSW-S, a licensed clinical social worker and Texas board-approved supervisor with advanced training from New York University and the National Institute for the Psychotherapies, Destination Therapy is a boutique Houston counseling practice offering individual therapy and couples therapy rooted in warmth, evidence-based care, and genuine human connection. The practice supports adults navigating anxiety, burnout, chronic stress, perfectionism, trauma, depression, disordered eating concerns, religious trauma, life transitions, and the pressures of showing up fully in both their personal and professional lives. Couples receive support around communication, conflict, emotional disconnection, intimacy, trust repair, desire discrepancy, and building healthier relational patterns together.
"You don't have to keep holding it all together alone," said Monique Dunn of Destination Therapy. "The clients we work with are ambitious, reflective, and deeply invested in creating change. Our role is to bring warmth, evidence-based support, and thoughtful collaboration to help them understand themselves more deeply, shift the patterns that are no longer serving them, and build a life that feels not just manageable, but meaningful."
What sets Destination Therapy apart among therapists in Houston, TX is a genuine commitment to affirming, anti-racist care that honors the full complexity of each client's identity and lived experience. The practice offers dedicated support for BIPOC clients, including those navigating workplace inequality, internalized pressure, and the unique weight of moving through the world as a marginalized individual. LGBTQ+ clients are welcomed into a space where they can show up as their full, authentic selves without explanation or justification. Destination Therapy is also a proud member of the Therapy for Black Girls network, a trusted directory connecting Black women and girls with culturally affirming mental health care.
The practice's diverse team of four licensed clinicians and one graduate student intern draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, EMDR, Person-Centered Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Existential Humanistic approaches, and trauma-informed methods. This range of expertise allows the team to offer each client care that is truly tailored to their needs, goals, and lived experience rather than a standardized protocol. As a private pay practice, Destination Therapy is able to focus on the full picture of what a client is experiencing rather than shaping treatment around insurance requirements. Superbills are provided for clients seeking out-of-network reimbursement, and lower-fee therapy is available with a graduate student intern for those who need a more accessible entry point into care.
Getting started is designed to feel approachable, not overwhelming. Prospective clients begin with a free matching call with the intake coordinator, are thoughtfully paired with the clinician who is the best fit for their specific needs and goals, and begin their first session with a clear sense of what to expect. In-person sessions are available at the Houston office. Secure telehealth is available for clients in Texas, California, Utah, Massachusetts, and New York. Ambitious adults and couples throughout Houston and beyond seeking a therapist in Houston, TX who truly understands the full weight of what they are carrying are encouraged to contact Destination Therapy to schedule a free matching call.
