The Therapy Space, PLLC is a mental health & wellness therapy practice supporting adults throughout the state of Texas. The practice is owned and operated by Kristen Suleman, LPC.
The Therapy Space was created and founded on the idea that we all need the space in our lives to be fully ourselves. The space to be seen. The space to be heard. The space to feel accepted and understood without any judgment. And that is what we do here - hold space for you.
The concept of “holding space” means to be physically, mentally, and emotionally present for someone. When we hold space for someone else, we set the tone for a kind, curious, and judgment-free interaction where the other person can explore and express their experience in the world, and like the term implies, have the space to do so freely.
It includes compassion and empathy for another human being in a way that allows and accepts their perspective to be valid, regardless if it is the same as yours. The practice of holding space can also help us feel less alone. Knowing that you can turn to another person for unconditional support and to feel truly listened to can be a very profound and transformative relational experience.
In therapy, your therapist holds space for you and only you. One of the best parts of the therapy experience is having the opportunity to feel understood, cared for, and validated in a way that helps you make sense of your own life experiences, without any judgment whatsoever.
Some of us have never been able to truly receive this type of space and support from anyone in our lives, including our own families, especially because it is nearly impossible for those close to us to support us in an unbiased way.
Many of us also struggle with the idea of actually giving ourselves the space to focus on ourselves and our health in this way. Therapy is an opportunity to cultivate this type of space for yourself, and to experience the impact it can have both on your personal well-being and in your relationships.
