Phil Ginsburg

When people reach Phil Ginsburg, they are usually carrying something that has quietly grown too heavy to manage alone — a marriage fraying under pressure, a dependency that has taken hold, a career that no longer fits, or trauma that keeps reshaping the present. A Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Houston, Texas, Phil works with children, teenagers, adults, and the elderly across a wide range of concerns: mood and anxiety disorders, addiction and compulsive behaviors, grief, co-occurring disorders, and the aftermath of abuse and trauma.

He brings a particular depth to relationship work — pre-marital counseling, couples in negative interaction cycles, family communication, parenting, and co-dependency — alongside individual therapy, psycho-educational support, and formal assessment and diagnosis. For many clients, the inability to power down — to lie still without reaching for a screen, to let the nervous system actually rest — has itself become part of what needs attention. Phil addresses that without judgment.

Before training as a counselor at Sam Houston State University, Phil built a long career in international business, working across the US, China, and the UK. That grounded, real-world perspective carries into his clinical work. He has been published in the American Counseling Association’s Family Journal and the Journal of Individual Psychology, and offers online sessions in addition to in-person care.
