About Clear Lake Psychotherapy: Serving Houston and Texas since 1984

Therapy for people ready for real change.

We help people build focus, emotional regulation, and real connection, not just manage symptoms. Most people who find us aren't in a crisis. They're tired of feeling stuck, managing everything on their own, and knowing something needs to change but not knowing where to begin. If that sounds familiar, you're in the right place.

Our History

A family legacy of healing, serving Houston since 1984.

Founded in 1984, Clear Lake Psychotherapy has been a trusted source for mental healthcare in the Clear Lake and Greater Houston area for more than four decades. Today, we continue that legacy as a second-generation family practice.

What began as a single practice founded by Dr. Sam Marullo has grown into a statewide team of six clinicians, now led by his son, Christopher Marullo. Each therapist is licensed in Texas, brings deep experience in their specialty areas, and shares the same core belief: therapy should truly help.

Our Philosophy

Therapy that is practical, supportive, and personal.

Whether you're managing your own thoughts or trying to reconnect with a partner, we treat these as skills you can strengthen with the right support.

Our therapists work virtually with individuals and couples who want more out of their inner life and relationships than just getting by.

All counseling services are provided virtually throughout Texas, including Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, and Fort Worth, making it easy to get support wherever you are. No commute, no waiting room, no rearranging your whole day to get support.

What We Believe

Thoughtful care, built around you.

Personalized Care

We start by understanding what’s hard, what you’ve already tried, and what you want your life to look like. Everything else gets built around that.

Evidence-Based Therapy

Our therapists use methods that research consistently shows to work, not because it sounds impressive, but because we want therapy to lead to real progress.

Convenient Online Sessions

On hard days, getting off the couch is enough. You shouldn’t also have to worry about parking. All sessions are online, secure, and accessible from anywhere in Texas.

Insurance & Self-Pay

We verify your benefits before your first session so you know exactly what to expect. There are no surprises, no guesswork.

You can feel better. Start your next chapter today.
