Faith-based care for individuals, couples, and families
History
Welcome to Illuminated Pathways Family Therapy, LLC, in beautiful Nassau Bay, Texas. Illuminated Pathways Family Therapy, LLC, was established in 2014 and officially opened its doors on January 2, 2015. From the beginning, our vision was to create a faith-based practice that could care for the whole family—not only adults or children, but individuals, couples, and families navigating every season of life.
Our practice began in the Webster area within a local church, where we served the community for approximately five years. When the COVID-19 pandemic changed how services could be provided, Illuminated Pathways Family Therapy, LLC, transitioned to Nassau Bay and continued caring for those God placed before us. What began as an unexpected transition became a beautiful new chapter in our story.
On January 2, 2027, Illuminated Pathways Family Therapy, LLC, will celebrate 12 years in business. With the guidance of business coach Clay Clark of ThriveTime Show and, ultimately, the direction and provision of the Lord, we have expanded to four locations and continue preparing for future growth throughout Texas and beyond. Our continued mission is to provide the best Christian Counseling Nassau Bay Texas has to offer. Call 972-768-0754 or email office@illluminatedpathways-therapy.com to learn more or schedule an appointment.
Amenities
Nassau Bay is a close-knit community located near NASA’s Johnson Space Center and along the beautiful shores of Clear Lake. The area offers churches, parks, homes, apartments, townhomes, walking trails, playgrounds, a dog park, and opportunities for fishing, boating, pickleball, tennis, and basketball.
Our Nassau Bay office is located approximately half a mile from a beautiful park, allowing us to incorporate nature and movement into treatment when clinically appropriate. Sessions may include therapeutic walks, conversations near the water, feeding ducks and turtles, observing local wildlife, riding bicycles, or participating in structured outdoor activities.
These experiences can support emotional regulation, healthy behavior, physical activity, communication, and stronger family connections. The peaceful surroundings, sounds of the water, and natural beauty of Clear Lake provide a calming environment that can complement the healing process. This distinctive setting helps us provide the best Christian Counseling Nassau Bay Texas has to offer.
Headquarters
Nassau Bay will remain the headquarters of Illuminated Pathways Family Therapy, LLC, as we continue expanding across Texas and into other states. This location serves as the central hub for administrative operations, appointment scheduling, financial arrangements, general questions, and information about our services.
The Nassau Bay headquarters will also continue providing clinical services. Regardless of how many additional locations open, Nassau Bay will remain at the heart of our organization and its mission to provide the best Christian Counseling Nassau Bay Texas has to offer. Call 972-768-0754 or email office@illluminatedpathways-therapy.com to learn more or schedule an appointment.
Services
Illuminated Pathways Family Therapy, LLC, provides care beginning at age four and continuing throughout every stage of adulthood. Services are available for children, teenagers, young adults, adults, couples, and families seeking the best Christian Counseling Nassau Bay Texas has to offer. Call 972-768-0754 or email office@illluminatedpathways-therapy.com to learn more or schedule an appointment.
We support children experiencing behavioral, emotional, developmental, academic, and social concerns. Although we do not directly treat learning differences such as dyslexia, we help children recognize that a diagnosis or learning challenge does not determine their worth, identity, or potential. Each child is encouraged to understand that they were created by God with purpose and value.
Teenagers receive support as they navigate school, friendships, family relationships, changing responsibilities, hormones, identity development, and the transition toward independence. Individual and family sessions can help teenagers and their parents strengthen communication, correct misunderstandings, establish healthy boundaries, and rebuild meaningful connections.
Young adults may receive help adjusting to college, trade school, employment, independent living, relationships, and new financial or personal responsibilities. Treatment focuses on creating structure, developing coping skills, increasing confidence, and making the transition into adulthood feel more manageable.
We also work with adults experiencing personal, relational, occupational, emotional, or spiritual challenges. Couples may seek support at any stage of their relationship, from dating and engagement to marriage and long-term partnership. Common concerns include communication, finances, emotional disconnection, intimacy, conflict, trust, and major life transitions.
Our goal is to help individuals and families find hope during difficult seasons. Romans 5 reminds us that suffering produces perseverance, perseverance produces character, and character produces hope. Illuminated Pathways Family Therapy, LLC, strives to be a place where that hope and healing can begin.
Private insurance is accepted at the Nassau Bay, Conroe, and Missouri City locations, subject to eligibility and verification. The Galleria-area location operates as a self-pay and private-pay office.
Amazing Animal-Assisted Therapy
Animal-assisted therapy is one of the special features of the Nassau Bay location. When appropriate and included in the treatment plan, individuals do not have to navigate difficult conversations alone—they may have the comfort and companionship of a therapy dog during their session.
Dwight, our standard poodle, is an experienced therapy dog who loves meeting children and adults. He often welcomes visitors at the door and provides a calming, reassuring presence during sessions.
Bella, our golden retriever, is currently learning the responsibilities of becoming a therapy dog, with Dwight helping to show her the ropes. Konni, our German shepherd, is occasionally present and typically observes quietly from a distance while helping create a sense of connection and security.
Our animals contribute to the warm, welcoming environment that has become an important part of the Illuminated Pathways Family Therapy, LLC, experience and our commitment to providing the best Christian Counseling Nassau Bay Texas has to offer.
Amazing Clinical Staff
Our administrative and clinical teams are essential to the care we provide. Our front-office staff members answer questions, coordinate appointments, assist with administrative needs, and extend hospitality so that each person feels welcomed from the first phone call through every visit.
Our growing clinical team includes master’s-level field-experience students and professionals licensed by the State of Texas. Every member of the Illuminated Pathways Family Therapy, LLC, team shares a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and is committed to our faith-based foundation.
We are not perfect, but we continually strive to serve with compassion, integrity, hospitality, and excellence.

Collaborative Partnerships
Illuminated Pathways Family Therapy, LLC, believes that effective care often involves collaboration among trusted professionals who support the body, mind, and spirit.
We are honored to collaborate with A Brighter Tomorrow Health and Wellness and Freedom Health Institute, led by Dr. Angelina Farella. These partnerships allow us to connect individuals and families with additional health and wellness resources when appropriate.
We also collaborate with Dr. Amy McDaniel of Chiro on the Go, who provides chiropractic care for individuals ranging from infants through older adulthood. Through this collaboration, physical well-being can be considered alongside emotional and spiritual health.
Dr. Abby, NP, and Michael, NP, provide psychiatric services and collaborate with our clinical team when additional evaluation or medication support may be beneficial. Their approach considers the whole person, with medication recommended when clinically necessary. In some circumstances, collaborative appointments may allow both behavioral-health and psychiatric providers to participate in the same session, either in person or virtually.
Dr. Abby generally supports the Missouri City, Galleria, and Nassau Bay areas and may also provide virtual services. Michael serves individuals throughout the greater Houston area. Having both female and male psychiatric nurse practitioners available provides individuals and families with additional options when coordinating their care.
Coming soon—stay tuned! Chef Wyatt will provide meal-preparation services for individuals and families seeking convenient meal options or assistance with specialized nutritional needs. This partnership reflects our commitment to helping people develop healthier and more sustainable lifestyles.
Additional wellness support may include education about nutraceuticals and nutritional supplementation when appropriate. Rhonda Kay Velders also offers Juice Plus+, a whole-food-based nutritional option for individuals and families. Each provider remains within their professional scope of practice while working collaboratively to offer attentive, personalized care that supports each person’s optimal health and overall well-being.
Together, these collaborative relationships allow us to consider emotional, physical, nutritional, psychiatric, relational, and spiritual needs when developing an individualized care plan.
