West Houston Counseling Center

Generational Trauma

Welcome to WHCC, where we specialize in helping individuals break free from the cycle of generational trauma and create a legacy of healing and resilience. Our therapists are dedicated to providing compassionate support and evidence-based interventions to help you heal from past wounds, transform negative patterns, and cultivate a thriving and empowered life.


Understanding Generational Trauma: 

Generational trauma refers to the transmission of unresolved trauma and dysfunctional patterns of behavior from one generation to the next. These patterns can manifest in various forms, including addiction, abuse, neglect, and dysfunctional relationship dynamics. Our counseling services offer a safe and supportive space for you to explore the impact of generational trauma on your life and begin the journey towards healing and transformation.


Internal Family Systems (IFS) for Ancestral Trauma:

Internal Family Systems therapy is a powerful approach for healing generational trauma by exploring and transforming the various parts of the self. Our therapists utilize IFS techniques to help you identify and connect with different aspects of your inner world, including wounded parts, protective parts, and the core self. Through compassionate exploration and dialogue, we help you heal the wounded parts, release protective barriers, and integrate all parts into a harmonious and balanced whole.


Parent Coaching for Familial Trauma:

Parenting is one of the most significant roles in breaking generational cycles of trauma, and our parent coaching services provide guidance and support for parents seeking to create a nurturing and empowering environment for their children. Our parent coaches offer practical strategies for fostering secure attachment, promoting emotional intelligence, and breaking negative patterns of parenting inherited from previous generations. We empower parents to cultivate healthy relationships with their children based on love, respect, and understanding.


Inner Child Work:

Inner child work is a key component of healing generational trauma, as it allows you to reconnect with and heal the wounded aspects of your inner child. Our therapists facilitate inner child work through compassionate exploration and experiential exercises, helping you to identify and heal unresolved childhood wounds, re-parent yourself with love and compassion, and cultivate a sense of wholeness and self-acceptance.


Interpersonal Therapy:

Interpersonal therapy focuses on the relational dynamics that contribute to generational trauma and dysfunction within families. Our therapists utilize interpersonal therapy techniques to help you explore and navigate difficult family dynamics, set healthy boundaries, and cultivate more satisfying and fulfilling relationships. We provide a safe and supportive space for you to process relational patterns, heal relational wounds, and create healthier ways of relating to yourself and others.

Breaking generational cycles of trauma is a courageous and transformative journey, and our counseling center is here to support you every step of the way. Through evidence-based interventions such as Internal Family Systems therapy, parent coaching, inner child work, and interpersonal therapy, we empower you to heal past wounds, transform negative patterns, and create a future filled with hope, resilience, and possibility.
