Welcome! I am Nursel Coskuner, an LPC-A (Licensed Professional Counselor - Associate), Supervised by Dr. Manahil Riaz, LPC-S.

At the heart of my practice is the work of Carl Rogers, a pioneer in humanistic psychology. Rogers believed in the actualizing tendency—the idea that every person has an innate drive toward growth, healing, and becoming their fullest, most authentic self.

My ideal client is someone open to self-exploration and ready to navigate challenges like identity, relationships, or attachment with curiosity and courage. These struggles can feel isolating, but you don’t have to face them alone.

In our work together, I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space grounded in unconditional positive regard, a core concept from Rogers that emphasizes acceptance and support no matter what you’re experiencing.

My approach is primarily person-centered, but I also draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and integrated attachment theory to support deeper healing.

IFS helps clients explore and make sense of the different "parts" of themselves—those inner emotions or patterns that might feel confusing or overwhelming. EMDR is a more structured, gentle yet effective way to process past trauma, helping to ease its emotional weight. Attachment theory sheds light on how early relationships shape the way we connect with others and ourselves, offering a roadmap for building healthier, more fulfilling connections.

Whether you need a listening ear, gentle guidance, or practical tools, I’m here to help you reconnect with your authentic self, heal old wounds, and move toward the life you envision.

I provide services in-person at the Galleria and Spring locations of Riaz Counseling, as well as virtual services for all Texans!
