Suzanne L. Balka, MS, Licensed Professional Counselor 1001 South Dairy Ashford Road, Houston, TX 77077

"Suzanne is a wonderful therapist. While she does ask a lot of questions it is done with the intention of helping the client and I am still with her to this day."

"My experience with Suzanne Balka has been extremely positive. She is a great listener and is very empathetic. She has helped me gain confidence in myself and has provided me with the tools I need to help navigate my situation. I will always be so grateful for her support and guidance. I highly recommend anyone considering therapy to reach out to Suzanne Balka."

"I've been Suzanne's client for about 3 years. I came to her as an adolescent who didn't really know how to engage in therapy. Previous therapists would throw me into worksheets and exercises when I couldn't even articulate what I was feeling. Suzanne met me half way-- She created room for me to speak and helped me identify what I was feeling. Now, I'm more equipped to deal with my mental health on my own with the many tools she has taught me. Thanks to this strength, her and I are now able to tackle broader, overarching issues in my life. I believe that is the ideal course of therapy, and obviously, Suzanne is an amazing therapist to guide anyone through this journey in life."

"I normally write food reviews, but I am so impressed by Ms. Balka, I feel this review may help others on their quest to finding a therapist. I will basically be giving you adjectives that I think embody my perception of our first meeting. Compassionate, intelligent, I felt instantly comfortable speaking with her, inviting, caring, and MOST importantly, she is NOT supercilious. I am so thankful I found her."

"My last counselor did nothing literally especially compared to Suzanne Balka whose motto seems to be “I want to teach you to be your own counselor and give you the tools you need” which I love. She lets me vent when that is what I need and we work on different things that I need help with or new techniques to cope better (tools). I’ve seen therapist and psychiatrist for 20 yrs now and she by far is the most welcoming and productive at the same time. If I had to complain I would say she’s too nice but not in a overly sensitive way... and I love how quirky she is... it makes me feel comfortable. Highly recommendable."
