In-Person Therapists in Texas

I grew up in Dallas and always dreamed of becoming a counselor and creating a practice that helps individuals and couples with concerns and issues that have taken over their happiness. I grew up in a Mexican household where mental health was not believed to be something you sought help for. “You just have to get over it” was what I was told. When I went away to college, my outlook was expanded, and I sought counseling for myself. At that point, I realized the benefits and ultimately, the results of being in therapy. Now as a counselor, I see my clients growing, healing, and overcoming obstacles they feared they would never overcome. It is the most rewarding feeling in the world and now my purpose is to continue this journey to help others. *Treatment philosophy I strive to create a warm, welcoming, and supportive environment for my clients. My goal is to provide a healing space where trust and vulnerability can flourish. During the first session, I focus on understanding my clients by exploring their concerns, past traumas, recent life changes, and current coping strategies. Subsequent sessions are more flexible, centering on present challenges. Over time, I identify behavioral patterns that may contribute to anxiety and depression. With compassion, empathy, and a strengths-based approach, I aim to offer a safe and inclusive space where individuals from all backgrounds can heal, grow, and reach their full potential. *Practice description Love Roots Therapy focuses on the mental health needs of adults, adolescents, and couples. Our practice provides virtual and in person counseling sessions depending on the preference of our clients. Our team is dedicated to helping patients achieve and enhance their psychological and spiritual well-being by using a variety of psychological modalities. Our counselors strive to meet our clients “where they are”. We provide an accepting environment using tools to help reframe and understand unconscious beliefs that keep us from moving forward. Our counselors work collaboratively with individuals to identify their goals, aspirations, and desired outcomes. We support individuals in developing strategies, action plans, and coping mechanisms to overcome obstacles and achieve their goals. The counseling process aims to empower individuals, fostering a sense of agency and control over their lives.

I work with children, adolescents and adults in a private practice office or Telehealth session. A person can be self referred or referred by their medical provider, teacher, or attorney. My practice is with the Lafayette Psychology Center office and more information can be accessed at the website Lafayettepsychologycenter.com.

Hello! I'm Dr. Jo. I consider myself a creative, innovative, and authentic human.

What if one session could make all the difference? Anxiety, depression, fears, traumatic events or memories, irritability, triggers, and reactivity. You might have tried therapy before but felt like it was focused just on “coping”...not on actually getting to the root of the issue. You’re ready to go deep and put these triggers and patterns to rest for good. Brainspotting (BSP) and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) offer fast, gentle, and highly effective relief, without the need to talk about your problems in detail. It’s time to move past the triggers and patterns that have been holding you back far too long. Deep, long-lasting change doesn’t have to take years. ART and BSP empower your brain to do the healing work so you can finally re-process and neutralize painful memories, experiences, and events, making room for feelings of more calm, clarity, and relief. Research shows that if often takes just 1-5 sessions to experience significant changes. As a client myself, I was able to access and resolve things that talking alone could not fully repair—and it’s because of my experience that I decided to get trained. These methods have made such an impact on my life that I wanted to be able to bring them to my clients, too. Together, we can discuss which option is best for you. Reach out to get started!
