Heather Comer, LCSW, is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing in‑person psychotherapy services in the Houston and Galveston County area. She works with adults and teens seeking thoughtful, evidence‑based support for emotional challenges, stress, and life transitions in a comfortable, confidential office setting.

Heather offers individual therapy grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and solution‑focused approaches. She provides comprehensive biopsychosocial assessments, DSM‑5‑TR diagnosis, and individualized treatment planning tailored to each client’s needs, goals, and pace of change. Her clinical style is collaborative, structured, and informed by both experience and evidence‑based practice.

Person‑Centered, Trauma‑Informed Therapy in Houston

My approach to therapy is person‑centered and trauma‑informed, rooted in the belief that healing happens within a safe, respectful, and trusting therapeutic relationship. I strive to create an environment where clients feel heard, valued, and supported, allowing them to engage openly in therapy at their own pace.

I recognize that past experiences—including stress, loss, and trauma—can have a lasting impact on how individuals view themselves and navigate the world. A trauma‑informed approach means prioritizing emotional safety, empowerment, and choice, while remaining mindful of how previous experiences may continue to influence present functioning. Therapy is not about forcing change, but about building awareness, stability, and resilience in a way that feels manageable and meaningful.

While my work is grounded in evidence‑based modalities such as CBT, DBT, and solution‑focused therapy, treatment is always tailored to the individual. Clients are active participants in their care, and therapy is adapted collaboratively as insight, skills, and confidence develop.

Clinical Experience & In‑Person Private Practice in the Houston Area

As the owner of Comer Counseling Services, I maintain a full outpatient private practice, offering in‑person therapy in a professional and supportive environment. I also collaborate with psychiatrists, primary care providers, and community resources when appropriate to ensure coordinated, ethical care.

My background includes extensive experience in school‑based and community mental health settings, where I provided crisis intervention, clinical coordination, and interdisciplinary collaboration with educators, families, and service providers. I have also supervised graduate‑level social work interns, reflecting a strong clinical foundation and commitment to professional standards.
