Hello, My Name is Stefanie Kuhn, LMFT

I’m a Marriage and Family Therapist living in the Houston area.

I grew up in Germany during the Cold War, which had a big influence on how I thought about the world and what felt safe for me. From an early age, I experienced firsthand how relationship struggles can affect the entire family, which sparked an interest in me to understand how relationships work.

Between high school and university, I lived in New Zealand for a year, working with low-income children with behavioral issues. This was one of my first introductions to the world of mental health, and it was quite impactful. I followed a traditional path after that and went to college, got a master’s, and began working in a corporate environment. I met the father of my children and became a mom. 

My Views On Marriage, Family & Relationships

No one teaches us how to do relationships; it’s just somehow expected that we’ll “get it,” and that doesn’t really happen. The role models we see on television are a far cry from reality. Most couples go through regular ups and downs. We rarely see the tough times or the rough patches that couples weather as they become parents, move to a new community, manage an empty nest, or transition to a new career. 

As a relationship expert, I work with individuals and couples who are going through difficult times, experiencing conflict in their relationship, or feeling stuck and unsure about how to handle the issues in their lives. My intention is to create a warm, safe, and nonjudgmental space where my clients can speak freely. My therapy approach is not a one-size-fits-all method. Instead, I alter my approach to my client’s needs, using a mix of empathy, compassion, humor, support, and practical solutions. 

I understand that it can be a daunting task to find a therapist to trust and feel comfortable with. I offer 15-minute free phone consultations to explore whether I may be the right fit for you. I look forward to supporting your journey to a more fulfilled life!
