Therapy by Dr. Angelina
5.0★★★★★55 Google reviews
Therapy by Dr. Angelina, run by Dr. Angelina H. Rodriguez in Downtown Houston, takes a Jungian, depth-psychology approach that looks past symptoms toward underlying patterns in a relationship or individual's life. Her site describes work through art therapy, dream work and what she calls experiential ritual, alongside more conventional talk therapy, and her Google listing includes marriage and relationship counseling as a service. It's a smaller, single-practitioner setup with weekday hours through early Friday afternoon.
What people praise
- Reviewers describe her as thorough, attentive and genuinely caring in sessions
- Multiple reviews mention feeling heard and understood after just a few sessions
- One reviewer specifically credits her art-therapy approach for helping their child open up in counseling

Our take: A perfect 5.0 average, but on the smaller side of this list at 55 reviews. Worth a look if the depth-psychology, dream-work framing appeals to you rather than a standard structured couples protocol.

Our take: Ranks fifth here mainly on review volume, 45 against the group above it, not on quality. The therapy-plus-coaching framing is a genuine point of difference if that style suits you.

How we rank these
Rating is the practice’s live Google average. Review volume measures how many people have actually left feedback, weighted against the others on this page. Confidence blends the two so a handful of 5-star reviews doesn’t outrank a deep, proven track record. Recency checks whether people are still reviewing them now. No practice can pay to change any of these numbers.
What does marriage counseling cost in Houston? (2026)
None of the five practices on this page publish a flat per-session rate on their sites, and pricing for therapy varies widely by insurance coverage, session length and whether you see a licensed psychologist versus an associate-level counselor. Several practices here, including Thriveworks and Eddins, note they accept major insurance plans, which is often the biggest factor in what you’ll actually pay out of pocket.
Serving all of Houston
These five practices sit across Houston’s core, from Allen Parkway and Downtown to Montrose, the Heights and Bellaire, so most couples in the inner loop are within a short drive of at least two or three options. Several offer video sessions too, which widens the pool if you’re searching for marriage counseling near me from Katy, Sugar Land or the suburbs and don’t want the commute for every session.
What to ask before you book a first session
- Is the counselor licensed, and at what level (LPC, LMFT, psychologist)?
- Do you take our insurance, or is this out-of-pocket only?
- Do you offer both in-person and video sessions?
- How soon can we get a first appointment?
- Does the practice specialize in a particular approach, like affair recovery or premarital counseling?
- What’s the cancellation policy if one of us can’t make it?
Frequently asked questions
Are these rankings paid?
No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.
How did you choose these marriage counsellors?
We pulled every marriage and relationship counseling practice with a public Google profile in Houston and ranked them on real rating, review volume, and how recently people are still reviewing them.
How often is this list updated?
We refreshed this page in August 2026 using live Google data. Ratings and review counts can shift, so always check current numbers before booking.
Do these practices see couples over video?
Most do. Several practices on this list, including Thriveworks and Eddins, explicitly mention online or telehealth sessions as an option alongside in-person visits.
What’s the difference between a psychologist and a licensed counselor here?
Several practices on this page, like Wilson Counseling, list psychologists on staff, while others are staffed by licensed professional counselors or family therapists. Ask directly what license your specific therapist holds if it matters to you.
The bottom line
Thriveworks is the safe default if you want a large team, psychiatry on-site, and long daily hours. If you’d rather work with a smaller, single practitioner, Therapy by Dr. Angelina or Wilson Counseling both carry perfect ratings. Whichever you pick, ask about insurance coverage before your first session since none of these practices post flat rates online.
