Cousins, Peter C, PHD Change Brings Happiness

Dr. Cousins helped me through a very rough time in my life. Meeting him was a life-changer. Working together with him helped me make healthy decisions for myself, and I gained the tools and confidence to positively work through my issues. Despite not living in Houston anymore, I feel the benefits of working with him everyday, and if I was still in Houston, I'd still go to him. He actively listens and asks important questions - no judgement whatsoever. He knows his stuff and provides an appropriate amount of clinical diagnosis and reference information -- without being caught up on definitions and classifications. He is no nonsense, and can be funny, right when you need it and least expect it. You MUST come prepared to share - you really do get out what you put in. I recommend him without hesitation. more

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Cousins. I saw him for about a year and I found him to be very knowledgable and insightful. Dr. Cousins helped me with anxiety, depression, and childhood trauma. He had a way of explaining things to me in a way I could understand. What I liked most about his style were the practical exercises he recommended, especially for dealing with anxiety on a daily basis. I also appreciated his relaxed, open, and nonjudgmental attitude. It was clear that his ultimate motivation was helping me become more centered, whole, and alive. I definitely made huge progress while seeing Dr. Cousins. If I still lived in Houston, he would definitely still be my therapist. more

I considered my first few sessions with Dr. Peter Cousins to be an interview of him to determine if we were compatible. Let's face it, if you're going to open up and share your most personal thoughts and feelings, you want to be sure you feel comfortable with each other. I appreciated Dr. Cousins' approach which was a great blend of professionalism, compassion, concern and appropriate uses of humor. His insights in those first few sessions allowed me to identify what was at the core of my feelings and I became eager to roll up my sleeves and get to work. I obviously was not able to do that on my own and was at ease to trust his wisdom and experience to shed light into dark corners. He often shared relevant articles and gave additional feedback after he had researched something we talked about, making me feel that he was actively engaged and genuinely invested in my outcomes. Through working with him I was able to make life-altering changes. I have grown emotionally and have gained the resources and tools, and more importantly the confidence to use them, to make healthy, positive choices in my life. I recently stopped working with Dr. Cousins, but the difference he made in my life will always remind me of him. I have and will continue to recommend him to anyone in need of a psychologist. more
