WEEKLY BUSINESS HIGHLIGHT

Be Counseling

This week, Tomball Insider is excited to spotlight Be Counseling, a local practice led by Kelsey Schad, LPC and owner, who’s making a difference in mental wellness across our region. Located in Magnolia, TX, Be Counseling serves individuals and couples throughout Tomball, Montgomery, Conroe, Spring, The Woodlands, and surrounding areas, offering a compassionate space for healing and growth.

Kelsey brings a heartfelt approach to therapy, walking alongside clients as they navigate life’s challenges—from trauma and identity struggles to depression, anxiety, and attachment issues. At Be Counseling, the focus isn’t on “fixing” anyone but on empowering clients to discover their true selves, process past hurts, and understand the protective parts they’ve built along the way. The goal? Freedom and lasting healing, tailored to each person’s unique journey.

As a fully private-pay practice, Be Counseling does not accept insurance at this time. Instead they can provide an itemized list to help determine if those expenses are eligible for reimbursement. Whether you’re seeking clarity as an individual or strengthening a relationship as a couple, Be Counseling provides a safe, welcoming environment to do the work.

For Tomball and beyond, Kelsey Schad and Be Counseling are a local treasure, committed to helping our community thrive. Learn more or schedule a consultation at be-counseling.org—we’re proud to have such a dedicated resource nearby!

HOME AWAY FROM HOME

Maple Creek Bed and Breakfast

Looking for a peaceful getaway close to home? Maple Creek Bed & Breakfast offers the perfect blend of country charm and city convenience.

Nestled on 5.5 acres of serene land, it’s a place where you can unwind by the private pond, take a dip in the saltwater pool, or enjoy their packed game room. Their cozy rooms are designed for comfort, and the Whirlpool tubs in their upstairs suites are perfect for a little extra pampering.

BEST SPOTS FOR HAPPY HOUR

After a long week, there’s nothing better than kicking back with a cold drink and some tasty bites—especially when the prices are as good as the vibes. Lucky for us, Tomball’s got some killer happy hour spots that make unwinding feel like a treat.

Craft Grill

You can snag half-priced appetizers like pulled pork sliders and sip on discounted craft cocktails from 3-6 PM weekdays. Locals rave about the chill patio and friendly service—it’s the kind of place you’ll want to linger at.

The Empty Glass

A hidden gem with $3 beers and $5 wines during their 4-7 PM happy hour. Pair that with their cozy vibe and occasional live music, and you’ve got a recipe for a perfect evening.

Cisco’s Salsa Co

Known for their vibrant Tex-Mex flavors, Cisco’s Salsa Co. offers a fantastic happy hour with refreshing margaritas and discounted appetizers that pair perfectly with their lively patio vibe. It's the ideal spot to unwind with friends after a long day. Happy hour is every Monday-Friday 3-6 PM.

This unique food truck park combines a laid-back atmosphere with great drink specials during happy hour. With multiple vendors and plenty of outdoor seating, it's a perfect spot to sip, snack, and socialize.
