Catherine Edmonson

I have been going to see Brian for a few months now. He has really helped turn my life around and view things in a more positive way. You don’t just go to his sessions and have him listen to you, he specializes in cognitive behavioral therapy and helps you address the root problems in your l Life and creates real positive mental changes.

Dr. Brian Schulz has really helped me to change my life for the better. He really cares and wants to see his patients progress and grow, and not just stay in therapy forever. I have been in therapy before, but this is the FIRST time I’ve been given tools to help navigate the more difficult parts of life for me. I have no excuse not to change and improve my life with all that Dr. Brian Schulz has taught me and equipped me with. I am doing great and would highly recommend Dr. Brian Schulz to anyone searching for an excellent therapist. My only regret is that I didn’t find him and start seeing him years ago!

Dr Schulz is a very empathetic man, he puts a lot of time into his work. He has helped me through a lot of things and in a very short amount of time. I actually look up to doctor Schulz as a man and role model. I recommend his services to anyone.

Alyssa Moreno

Dr. Brian is a very attentive and EFFECTIVE therapist. I can’t thank him enough for helping me when I was stuck! Now I’m happy, I know what I’m doing and why, and I know that everything is going to be alright. Thank you very much!

Elena Fernandez

I am so pleased that my family found Hopeful Texas and, especially, Tara. My daughter had been to two other therapists and believed that therapy was not beneficial to her. Then, we met Tara. She has had a profound impact on my daughter and the growth and change, in a short time, is incredible. We are extraordinarily grateful.
