About Mental Health Counseling Group

Mental Health Counseling Group was founded in 2022 by Sara Veillon, M.S., LPC, NCC, a licensed trauma-focused therapist and longtime Katy, TX resident. What began as a single-location practice in Katy has grown into a multi-location group practice serving clients across Katy, Sugar Land, Fulshear, and Austin, TX, as well as statewide via telehealth.

We started Mental Health Counseling Group because finding the right counselor shouldn't be harder than the problem that brought you in. Every person who reaches out is carrying something specific, whether it's a marriage under strain, a child who's struggling, a trauma that won't loosen its grip, or simply a life that feels heavier than it should. Our job is to match you with a counselor near you who specializes in exactly that, not just whoever has the next open slot.

That belief is why we've grown one practice at a time, in Katy, Sugar Land, Fulshear, and Austin, rather than scaling for its own sake. Each practice is led by its own founder or owner, who is personally invested in the community it serves.

Our founder, Sara Veillon, is a trauma-focused, EMDR-trained therapist who works with couples, families, and individuals, and who believes that helping one family member is a good start, but working with the whole family unit is where real transformation takes shape. That same philosophy, of treating the person or family in front of us rather than a diagnosis in isolation, guides every practice we've opened since.

Our therapists are licensed or supervised professionals holding credentials including Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), LPC Associate, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and National Certified Counselor (NCC). Between them they are trained in approaches including EMDR, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method and Internal Family Systems (IFS). All associates are supervised by fully licensed clinicians in compliance with Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council requirements for the Texas State Board of Examiners of Professional Counselors.

Each of our four practices is led by its own founder or owner:

We practice evidence-based therapy, drawing on EMDR, CBT, the Gottman Method, IMAGO, EFT and play therapy. We serve individuals ages 5 and up, couples, families, and adolescents across a range of concerns including trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, and relationship challenges.

Every counselor on our team brings a different specialty, so treatment is matched to you rather than the other way around. Browse our counseling and coaching services to see how each modality is used in practice.

Care is available in person at our Katy and Sugar Land offices, and by secure telehealth anywhere in Texas, at the same rates and with the same counselors. Many clients mix both formats depending on their week. Our Austin practice works by video only and has no office. Our Fulshear office is not taking new clients at the moment.

Beyond one-on-one sessions, we curate resources for continued support between appointments and back the community programs that share our mission.
