Getting to know Richard Musquiz
Feeling overwhelmed or emotionally worn down can linger, especially during times of change. Anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, relationship stress, substance use concerns, caregiving challenges, or major life transitions can make it hard to feel grounded or connected to yourself.
I’m a therapist in Houston working with adolescents, teens, adults, and seniors who want compassionate, affirming support as they build emotional balance, resilience, and overall well-being. Using evidence-based approaches tailored to your journey, I specialize in anxiety and depression, PTSD and trauma recovery, substance use and co-occurring disorders, LGBTQ+ affirming care, and relationship and couples concerns.
I am also certified in dementia and cognitive disorders. I support older adults facing memory loss and cognitive decline, as well as the family members and caregivers who love them. If you’re caring for a parent, spouse, or loved one with dementia or Alzheimer’s, I understand the caregiver stress, grief, and burnout that can come with it, and I’m here to help you care for yourself, too.
I accept Medicare, and I see clients in person at Fowler & Tidwell Counseling in the Galleria area and through secure online therapy (telehealth). I welcome clients of every background, culture, age, and identity.
Together, we’ll explore what’s weighing on you, identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and develop practical coping skills that support meaningful growth. Our work is collaborative, supportive, and tailored to your unique needs, goals, and experiences.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Therapy with me is a judgment-free, affirming space where you can show up exactly as you are. We’ll work at a pace that feels right for you, focusing on understanding what’s getting in your way, building practical tools, and helping you feel more grounded and confident.
Here’s how I can help:
Anxiety and depression: breaking the cycle of overwhelm and hopelessness so daily life feels more manageable.
PTSD and trauma recovery: healing from the past to regain a sense of safety and control.
Substance use and co-occurring disorders: supporting recovery through a dual-diagnosis lens, addressing substance use and mental health together rather than separately.
LGBTQ+ affirming care: support around gender identity, sexuality, coming out, and the stress that stigma and discrimination can create.
Relationships: helping couples and individuals navigate conflict, transitions, and emotional distress.
Seniors and caregivers: support for older adults navigating aging, health changes, or memory concerns, and for caregivers supporting someone with dementia. Medicare is accepted.
You can choose in-person sessions in Houston or online therapy from home, whichever fits your life best.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Getting started is simple, and every step is designed to help you feel comfortable and supported.
Intake session: Before your first session with me, you’ll meet with a member of our clinical team for an intake appointment. This is where we complete paperwork and initial assessments, so our first session together can focus fully on you.
Getting to know you: In our first sessions, we’ll talk about what brought you in, your history, and what you’d like to feel different, whether that’s anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, substance use, relationship stress, identity-related stress, caregiving challenges, or a major life transition.
Setting goals together: We’ll create a plan that reflects your needs, values, and pace. Our work is collaborative, and you’ll always have a voice in where we focus.
Building tools and insight: Using evidence-based approaches, sessions focus on identifying patterns that keep you stuck, building practical coping skills, and strengthening emotional resilience. If substance use is part of the picture, we’ll address it alongside your mental health, not in isolation. For couples, we’ll work on communication and navigating change together. For caregivers and families affected by dementia, this may include guidance on memory loss, communication changes, and caregiver burnout.
Reviewing progress: We’ll check in regularly on what’s helping and adjust our approach as you grow.
My goal is to help you feel more grounded, confident, and connected to yourself, one step at a time.
