Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?

I got interested in becoming a therapist because I had friends in junior high and high school who were struggling with mental health issues and I was often the one they would come to. I think everyone should have someone to listen to them and being in a helping profession felt like the right thing for me.

I offer therapy rooted in my lived experience within the LGBTQIA+, non-monogamous, kink, and neurodivergent communities, helping clients navigate their identities and relationships with confidence and authenticity

I became a counselor because I have a passion to help others to create their best selves.

Located outside of Austin, TX. Since graduating from Texas State University with a Master's in Professional Counseling, I have gained over 15 years of experience in working with individuals and families with addiction issues. I have worked with both adolescents and adults. I have experience dealing with issues related to trauma, anxiety, depression and other mental health issues. My approach to counseling to be the person to help guide you on your journey and provide outside insight and observation. I used humor and laughter during session and believe it is an important tool. Most of all I believe it is about finding the right fit and I hope to be your right fit on your journey. Let's get started!!!

I had a very turbulent childhood and dealt with anxiety and depression as an adolescent. Having people invest in me, believe in me and see past the behaviors really helped me get better and heal. I hope to be a support for others going through hard seasons...

Hello, my name is Jessica and I am a marriage and family therapist in California. I specialize in offering trauma-informed care. I am bilingual in Spanish. I work with children, teenagers and adults. My approach is client-centered and integrates CBT and DBT interventions that will help clients to challenge negative thinking patterns and identify healthy coping skills that are sustainable for them.

I took an Intro to Psychology class in 10th grade and was sold on the idea of entering the psychology field. I was one of many teenagers that felt I had no one to talk to and decided I wanted to become the person I wish I had back then. Someone who accepted me as I was, did not judge me, supported me, and believed in me. While I am now trained in addressing a variety of clinical concerns using evidence based interventions, I continue to strive and create this environment for anyone I work with. I believe the therapeutic relationship remains the most important factor.

Hello! I work with adults ready to address old patterns or new changes that are becoming challenging to live with. This might be anxiety, lower mood, loss, or life transitions, such as pregnancy, parenting, separations, career shifts, or simply wanting to focus on your own wellbeing.

The Transformation: Seeing a person move from surviving to truly thriving. - The Connection: Building a space where "it's okay to not be okay." - The Ripple Effect: Knowing that when one person heals, it positively impacts everyone they love. - I continue this work because I see the incredible courage it takes to be vulnerable, and I am honored to walk that path alongside my clients.

I sought out therapy as an adult due to my own experiences of trauma, mental illness, family stress, and its impact on my body. I found myself gravitating towards psychology, creative arts, philosophy, and systemic theory in college. My own experiences in therapy have impacted my work, as well as reading the work of Disability Justice activists.

I became a psychiatric NP (provider and counselor) because I came from a country with mental health stigma, where people with mental health disorder or issues were neglected and not treated well. I have also lived in stress and trauma after genocide in my former country; has seen people suffering mentally without any care provided to them. When I arrived in USA, I decided to go to school to become a nurse/provider to care and treat people with various mental illnesses and help them overcome that stigma.

I became a therapist because I have always believed in the power of listening and supporting others through life’s challenges. I wanted to create a safe space where people feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes. What motivates me to continue is witnessing the resilience of my clients—the moment they discover new perspectives, regain balance, or find hope again is incredibly rewarding. Being part of someone’s journey toward healing and growth is a privilege that continues to inspire my work every day

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience working with adult population with issues of decreased motivation and anxiety. It is my thinking that everyone should have someone to speak to about things on their minds, both good and not great, and I will provide a confidential and safe space for this. I use various types of therapeutic interventions while engaging my clients in conversation and helping them see how they can improve in their life choices and to feel better about themselves. As humans, we all make mistakes and in making these mistake, we learn to improve ourselves. I work with Cognitive Behavioral therapeutic techniques as the way we think about things affects how we feel, which in turn affects our behaviors. I urge for self care and help my clients with feelings of low confidence. My focus is in the areas of depression and anxiety and I use a blend of evidence based techniques to make my clients feel happier with their lives and their choices. I have experience with group work and with individual therapy and will help you find what works for you throughout our time together.

I became a therapist because I know what it’s like to face anxiety, grief, and the ups and downs of chronic illness and to rely on dark humor to get through it. I realized that quick laughs can only go so far, and real change comes from doing the hard work of therapy. I’m motivated to continue because I get to help people find tools that actually work, feel more in control, and discover that life can be a little lighter, sometimes even fun, along the way. I see you because I’ve been you, and that’s what keeps me going.
