Therapy Session in Texas

Listening and understanding you is my focus. If you could have resolved the problem, you would have. I am a Texas psychologist since 1999 with 40+ years mental health experience. In treatment, I work with biological, blended, adoptive, and foster families, as well as individuals & couples from various ethnicities, nationalities, and backgrounds. Being heard is important. I respect various sources of strength and support for people to address & encourage the changes/challenges in their lives.

I’m Sally Jalili, LMSW, a bilingual school-based therapist who helps kids and teens manage big emotions, behavior struggles, and life changes. My approach is warm, direct, and practical — giving clients tools they can use right away at school and at home. I work closely with families and staff to create consistent, supportive environments where clients feel understood and empowered to grow.

If you're looking for a therapist who is warm, direct, and collaborative, we may be a good fit. I help adolescents and young adults navigate anxiety, stress, relationships, identity, school pressure, and life transitions. Together, we'll build self-awareness, strengthen motivation, develop the confidence to advocate for yourself, and build the skills to make choices that align with who you are and where you want to go.

I have always believed that life is tough, but so are we. A therapeutic relationship is the majority against the adversity. But all it takes is a leap of courage, because you’ll never know, unless you try. My goal is to help you soar like never before. I’ll walk alongside you in the deep trenches until we reach the light. We’ll untangle the ball of trauma, one by one, and we’ll unpack the multilayered pain you have carried for so long. Just believe and receive. Therefore, you will…. achieve.

I'm so glad you're here. Taking the first step toward therapy isn't always easy, and you don't have to do it alone. My goal is to provide a warm, supportive, and judgment-free space where you feel heard, understood, and accepted. Together, we'll navigate life's challenges using a compassionate, trauma-informed approach, build on your strengths, and create meaningful, lasting change at a pace that feels right for you. I'm here to support you every step of the way.
