I’m a Houston therapist providing therapy for teens and adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves. Many of my clients are navigating major life transitions—starting college, entering adulthood, coping with academic or social pressure, working through difficult relationships, or healing from a challenging life experience. Often, they feel anxious, trapped in their thoughts, and unsure how to change old patterns. They recognize unhelpful thought cycles but don’t always know how to shift them. Sometimes that stress shows up in behaviors, reactions, or decisions through negative coping skills or patterns they want to break.

My approach to therapy is structured, practical, and focused on helping clients make meaningful changes in the way they think—so they can also change how they feel, act, and move forward. I use evidence-based methods to help you gain clarity, take action, and create lasting growth.

I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Together, we identify unhelpful thought patterns, challenge them, and replace them with healthier perspectives and coping strategies. My sessions are hands-on, incorporating worksheets, exercises, and guided reflections so you leave with tools you can use in daily life. I also integrate Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and Somatic CBT to address both the mental and physical effects of stress, anxiety, and emotional pain.

My current private practice work is shaped by years of diverse experience. I’ve counseled children and families, supported older adults in public housing, and provided trauma-informed care to survivors of human trafficking. As a clinical case manager at SEARCH Homeless Services in Houston, I worked with clients facing homelessness, mental health challenges, and substance use concerns—developing skills in crisis intervention, de-escalation, and integrated care. Across these roles, I learned the value of meeting people where they are, collaborating with other professionals, and offering practical tools that lead to real change. These experiences now allow me to provide therapy that is both compassionate and results-driven.

I love watching clients have that “ah-ha” moment when they realize they can challenge old narratives and step into a more confident, grounded version of themselves. Whether we’re working on managing anxiety, building emotional resilience, repairing relationships, or letting go of self-defeating stories, I create a safe and collaborative space where meaningful change feels possible.

Starting therapy can feel intimidating, but I’m here to make the process less overwhelming. In our first sessions, I focus on building trust, learning about your goals and values, and identifying what’s standing in your way. From there, we’ll develop skills and strategies to help you navigate life with clarity, confidence, and a stronger connection to who you truly are.

Nathan Barclay Ph.D.

Licensed Clinical Psychologist

I provide therapy for people who have suffered loss, trauma, or other hardships that make living life difficult. By working together to explore your internal experiences, we will develop greater clarity about what matters most to you, what gets in the way of connecting with it, and what you can do to change that. Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) from a person-centered perspective, my goals are to help you embrace your thoughts and feelings, unburden yourself from the past and the future, and begin the process of reinvesting in your life. My specialties include:

Grief

Grief is a painful, natural, and necessary part of life. However, there are countless factors that can derail this process, which leads us to get stuck in our grief, struggle within ourselves, and miss out on finding life beyond the death. My approach focuses on overcoming those distractions and reacquainting you with the grieving process—making room to gradually and fully experience the loss—allowing you to move into a life that connects you with what matters to you while honoring the connection with the deceased. Grief is not something to “get over,” but rather something to journey through. The path of grief is different for everyone, and the cultural, social, and personal factors that shape how we grieve can make the process even more complicated. Many people find themselves stuck in grief because they feel pressured to “move on” before they are ready, because the pain feels too heavy to share, or even because the pain feels too heavy to bear alone. We will navigate this often difficult terrain by embracing the full range of your emotions without rushing the process, finding a way to honor the journey as deeply as we honor the deceased.

Trauma

Trauma treatment can be complicated, and it often requires a flexible, personalized approach to getting you back in touch with your life. I navigate this using Trauma-Focused Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (TFACT), which prioritizes how we establish a new relationship with the trauma in the present moment. We do not resign ourselves to the trauma, but instead, we find a way to regain control over how you respond to these past wounds. I also draw from other evidence-based modalities when appropriate, ensuring that your care is tailored to fit your unique goals, centered around the primary idea of reclaiming your sense of agency and direction. Together, we will work on fostering resilience, self-compassion, and the ability to move forward with a sense of purpose and connection.

Men’s Issues

Men experience a host of issues that are often overlooked and misunderstood, and as a result, they often do not receive the help or support they need when they would need it most. Men across a wide range of backgrounds find themselves carrying this suffering in silence, unsure of how to navigate their feelings or find others who can relate. I am passionate about ensuring that men can have the space to connect fully with what really matters to them, allowing you to define what it means to be your best self. By approaching our internal experiences curiously and confidently, we can come to terms with every aspect of our identity and reengage with our lives. This can give us the ability to create freedom from roles and expectations that may otherwise keep us stuck in old patterns and harmful cycles, with the purpose of finding new ways of thinking, being, and relating that support your most genuine self.

Anxiety and Depression

Life is stressful. This stress is usually manageable and maybe even helpful, but when it is neither, we can experience significant and impairing symptoms of anxiety and/or depression. These challenges can feel isolating, overwhelming, and all-consuming, making it hard to see beyond the internal fog. Whether you’re feeling hopeless, stuck, or caught in a loop of worry, I’m here to help you break free from these patterns. In our work together, we’ll explore how these emotions show up in your life, and what they’re protecting you from. Both depression and anxiety can be understood as natural responses to unprocessed pain, unmet needs, and unhelpful thought patterns. We will approach these challenges with a desire to understand, helping you accept the presence of difficult emotions without letting them control who you are and how you show up.

Interpersonal Issues & Identity Struggles

Many people find themselves struggling with deeply rooted patterns of behavior that make relationships difficult, whether with family, friends, or even within themselves. These struggles can often feel confusing and isolating, leaving you questioning who you really are, what actually matters to you, and why this seems like a never ending problem. Our work together will center on helping you better understand the deeper layers of these patterns. From a relational framework, we’ll use evidence-based approaches, such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), to help you build greater emotional resilience and self-compassion, allowing you to cultivate healthier relationships, both with others and with yourself. All of these specialty areas can (and usually do) overlap, and I look forward to embracing the complexity that makes your individual story so unique to you. We will work together to overcome the obstacles you face and promote meaningful change. If you’re ready to begin your journey, I offer a free 15-minute consultation to ensure we’re a good fit. I look forward to helping you achieve greater well-being.

More About Nathan:

Dr. Nathan Barclay is a licensed clinical psychologist with a passion for helping people thrive at every point in their lives. Over the course of his career, he has worked in a variety of settings, including the University of Mississippi Medical Center, Houston Methodist’s Behavioral Health Clinic, and Baylor College of Medicine, with a focus on mood and trauma-related disorders. His current specialties include grief, men’s issues, and personality concerns. He received his Bachelor of Science and completed his Ph.D. at Mississippi State University under the mentorship of experts in the treatment of depression, suicide, and sleep issues. Throughout his career, he has worked extensively with people from all walks of life who suffer deeply and profoundly, and he has developed a deep understanding of both the challenges that they face and the love that they deserve.

Dr. Barclay worked extensively with Mississippi State University’s Student Counseling Services, where he operated for several years providing both therapy and assessment services for depression, anxiety, OCD, personality disorders, ADHD, and trauma-related disorders. He regularly served as a first-line clinician for crisis intervention, led group workshops for students, and helped develop assessment and treatment protocols for a variety of student related concerns.

He found his passion for grief work during his postdoctoral fellowship at Houston Methodist. He provided services for healthcare providers who suffered very unique stories of grief, in both their personal and professional lives. The unspoken impact of these deaths highlighted the importance of providing quality grief therapy, particularly in contexts where grieving adequately is deprioritized or even impossible.

Dr. Barclay’s research experience began in exploring the nature of suicide trends in college students and eventually developed into understanding how men relate to others, social and psychological factors that may be involved, and how self-compassion interventions could change these relationships. He continues to collaborate with other researchers on projects across a variety of subject areas, which continues to refine his approach to treatment and ultimately help his clients thrive.

Supervised Therapist Clinical Psychology Doctoral Student, University of Houston

I provide therapy for adults coping with anxiety, depression, insomnia, chronic pain, health-related challenges, and difficult life transitions. Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed by recent changes, medical conditions, or past experiences that have altered their daily lives. My goal is to help clients regain a sense of control, move toward what matters most, and find greater peace and confidence.

I am a third-year doctoral student in the Clinical Psychology PhD program at the University of Houston, specializing in Clinical Neuropsychology.

At the Coping Resource Center, I combine Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to tailor treatment to each individual. I believe strongly in collaborative, evidence-based therapy that equips clients with practical tools for long-term resilience.

In addition to individual therapy, I run two of our specialty programs: CBT for Chronic Pain Program: Helping clients reduce the impact of chronic pain, improve daily functioning, and reconnect with valued activities.

CBT-I Program for Insomnia: Delivering gold-standard treatment for insomnia to restore healthy sleep and improve overall well-being.

My background in brain-behavior relationships, chronic pain, and sleep research allows me to bring a comprehensive and health-focused approach to therapy. I am committed to helping clients develop lasting skills that improve both mental and physical health. In our first session, we will get to know each other, explore what brought you to therapy, and identify your goals. Sessions typically begin weekly and may become more spaced out as you gain confidence using the skills and strategies we develop together, with the ultimate goal being that you feel equipped to handle life’s challenges independently.

Areas of Focus

• Trauma & PTSD • Anxiety Disorders • Depression • OCD • Difficulty sleeping

I provide therapy for adults with PTSD, anxiety, and depression. I have over 15 years of experience treating trauma, including working with survivors of combat, accidents, crime, sexual assault, and childhood abuse.

Experiencing a trauma can upend your life—it can change how you think about yourself, other people, and the world. I work with clients to identify how trauma has impacted them and help them identify ways to heal. Although we can’t go back in time and stop the trauma from happening to you, we can, together, find healthier ways to move forward.

My goal is to provide a supportive, safe place to work on trauma at your own pace. I also treat anxiety, including social anxiety, generalized anxiety, panic disorder, and OCD, as well as depression and related issues such as trouble sleeping. I use evidence-based therapy approaches, such as cognitive-behavioral therapies. For me, the purpose of therapy is to give you tools to use in your everyday life, so that you can cope with life’s challenges as they arise.

It’s very important to me that clients feel supported and are partners in making decisions about their treatment. This includes choosing which evidence-based treatment approach makes sense for you, helping tailor treatment to your goals and values, and determining when you are ready to graduate from treatment. I want to make sure you are getting what you want from therapy. When you start therapy, we will meet weekly. As you progress, we will gradually extend the intervals between sessions.

As a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, my areas of focus include:

***Trauma and PTSD Anxiety OCD Depression Insomnia***
