THERAPIST FOR PREGNANCY, POSTPARTUM & BEYOND IN HOUSTON, TEXAS
SPECIALIZED CARE FOR PREGNANCY & POSTPARTUM
WITH dr. Jeannine Tamez, Clinical Psychologist
Being a mother is nothing like you expected.
Remember a time when the overwhelming exhaustion of taking care of others, the constant worries and feelings of inadequacy and guilt, and the struggle to feel like yourself weren’t the “norm” … ? Yah, me neither. Don’t you wish you had the tools to change that?
Hi, I’m Jeannine Tamez, PhD, and I help moms and moms-to-be just like you: ones who struggle to prioritize their own needs while balancing the demands of kids, relationships, and their careers. Moms who want to reconnect with themselves and feel worthy again, but just need a compassionate guide to get there.
I help my clients find renewed confidence, genuine happiness, and a deep sense of fulfillment by equipping them with the tools they need to ditch the mom guilt and embrace being good enough.
Many of today’s solutions for burnt out and stressed moms can feel impractical or impersonal, especially when you have multiple things you are juggling all at once, leaving you feeling like you are dropping the ball or alone. I know your circumstances are unique, so every step we take together is tailored to your specific needs, always with a meaningful end goal in mind.
Let’s navigate this often messy yet beautiful stage of life together. You don’t have to go through it alone.
How I work:
I am dedicated to helping overwhelmed mothers reconnect with their true selves, rediscover joy, and feel more present in their motherhood journey.
At my practice, you’re welcome just as you are. I’m not here to judge you. Instead, my role is to make space for all of you (big emotions and all) and meet you exactly where you’re at in your journey.
While offering emotional support and guidance is a major part of my role, I’m not a “listen-and-nod” kind of therapist. I take an active role in your journey, teaching you evidence-based techniques to help you
First, we’ll explore all the changes that have come into your life, relationships, career, body, and time. Then, we’ll focus on practical, personalized strategies and supportive techniques designed to help you regain a sense of balance and joy. Through our work together, you’ll feel empowered with the skills and confidence you need to thrive in your motherhood journey and reconnect with the vibrant, joyful you that’s always been there.
Here’s what I believe about therapy:
It can help you rediscover your inner strength.
It can help you to reconnect with the person you want to be.
It can help you embrace a newfound sense of balance and fulfillment.

I’ve always known I wanted to be a psychologist which likely stemmed from my natural curiosity for human behavior mixed in with my genuine interest in wanting to connect with others.
I graduated from Texas A&M University with my PhD in Clinical Psychology in 2010 and completed two post-doctoral fellowship programs through Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) and the University of Houston (UH). I worked as an Assistant Professor at BCM for 5 years. While at BCM, I was heavily involved in teaching, supervision, and mentorship of psychiatry and psychology trainees. I was also one of the Directors for an Intensive Outpatient Program. I then worked for 5 years at a community mental health center providing more clinical services.
I stepped away from agency work in 2022 and decided to open up my private practice so I could better serve the women I want to work with in practice.
