Dr. Cristina Gamez, PhD

Psychologist
104 W 12th, Ste B, Houston, TX
To get started, there are two things to do. Please complete these before our appointment so we can spend the full time focusing on what matters most to you. 1. Create a login for Simple Practice. This is my electronic health record and Telehealth platform. You will receive an email from Simple Practice to complete this-check your spam folder if you don't see it the day before we meet. 2. Review, complete, and sign documents within Simple Practice. No printing is necessary. A little about how I approach therapy: I help people create the lives they want to live. I know it's easier said than done, but when we work together, it's worth it-and you are not alone on this journey. The pandemic has left many feeling isolated and overwhelmed by all the changes. Do you wish you had someone to discuss the transitions you're experiencing? Would you like to talk about trauma, depression, anxiety, sleep, or how to reach your goals? For years, I have helped people navigate these challenges by moving past pain and struggles toward a life full of what is truly important to them. I hold a PhD in Clinical Psychology from the University of Houston, which informs my compassionate and evidence-based approach to therapy.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I offer a personalized approach blending evidence-based practice, flexibility, and compassion to meet you where you are. I have spent much of my career working with people who have experienced trauma and continue to struggle with depression, insomnia, anxiety, relationship troubles, and substance use. I have extensive experience with Veterans and military-connected family members.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Therapy is all about getting to know you and what you want. We will spend time talking about what you would like to be different and what you are good at. I want to help you use your strengths to create change. The next step is understanding the vision you have for yourself. Describing one's vision is often difficult, but I will help you with this. Your vision will provide a guide for the work we do each week. The goal is for you to create the change you want and realize your vision.
