About

When I work with clients, I spend time understanding in a deep and connected way how you are experiencing your life.

With support and non-judgmental curiosity, I will look below the surface. I may examine family of origin dynamics, core beliefs you hold about yourself and where you may have learned them, values you have and how your choices do or do not support them, and when and how you limit yourself or get in your own way.

In our busy lives, we tend to avoid or not even notice our feelings until they suddenly demand our attention. I will encourage you to mindfully move into these (sometimes uncomfortable) feelings as, when honored and released, they can be fantastic guides.

It is paramount that the relationship between us feels supportive and serves as a container in which you can explore honestly, freely and bravely. It is my first priority to make therapy a space where you feel seen and understood. Meeting this priority factors prominently into the work.

Martha Lopez-Fowler, Licensed Professional Counselor

I obtained a bachelor’s degree in psychology at the University of Houston and received a master’s degree in counseling at Prairie View A&M University. I received most of my mental health training at The Harris Center for Mental Health and IDD. I gained additional experience in the mental health field by providing counselling services to elementary-aged children in a school setting. I utilize multiple approaches. I aim to use the most effective methods available to address each individual client’s needs.

I’d been to therapy multiple times before, and after seeing three different therapists, I assumed that talking to a therapist did not work for me. Evolution Counseling was highly recommended by a friend. I reluctantly agreed to try again, assuming it would not work. It was a good choice because I finally received what I needed and I am doing much better now with navigating through life challenges.

Evolution Counseling has been a blessing in my life. I was lost and did not have the knowledge on how to cope with my emotions and past trauma. I am in a much better place now and I am able to function better today now that I have learned to cope appropriately with challenges in life.

I breakout in tears when I think about the help I have received from Evolution Counseling. If it had not been for them, I would have been in a worse place due to the passing of my mother and father.
