Therapy Session in Texas

Hi, I'm Hollie. I am passionate about working with young people for their pure potential and natural capacity for growth and self-discovery. I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space for those who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about the direction they are heading. I understand how heavy the expectations and pressures of others, as well as those we put on ourselves, can feel. Together, we'll slow down, get curious, and reconnect with what matters most to you. You don't have to have it all figured out- I'm here to walk beside you and explore the path forward. I'm so glad you're here.

Jessica guides clients through the moments when life shifts and old rhythms no longer fit. With a compassionate, reflective style, she supports grief, identity, leadership, and relational challenges—using conversation and creative expression to help clients unlearn what no longer serves them and step into who they’re becoming.

I was drawn to mental health counseling because I've seen how profoundly people can change when they feel safe, seen, and supported. Therapy was a space where I began to understand myself in a deeper way, and that experience stayed with me. It inspired me to walk alongside others as they navigate their own challenges. My approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. I listen, ask the right questions, and help you build tools and insight to move forward in a way that feels right for you. I use cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and EMDR to help you process unhealthy thoughts and become more aware of your emotions without being overwhelmed. We'll begin by talking about what brings you to therapy and what you're hoping to work on. Whether your goals are clear or still taking shape, we'll define what progress might look like for you. I may ask about different areas of your life to get a fuller picture of who you are and how I can help. This is a safe space where you can be your authentic self.

I believe counseling works best as a partnership—one built on trust, collaboration, and a shared commitment to meaningful change. My role is not to “fix” clients, but to walk alongside them as we identify what’s getting in the way and work toward the outcomes that matter most to them. My therapeutic approach is shaped by both professional training and lived experience. I have been married for over twenty years and am a father of twin boys and a stepfather, with firsthand experience balancing the demands of family life, work, and leadership roles. These experiences allow me to meet clients with empathy, realism, and respect for the complexity of life. I work with individuals, couples, and young adults, with particular experience supporting veterans, individuals living with PTSD, and high-stress or high-performing professionals. Many of my clients are accustomed to carrying significant responsibility and pressure, often prioritizing others while neglecting their own well-being. My work is client-focused, integrative, and holistic. I draw from multiple therapeutic modalities—including cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, narrative, and relational approaches—while considering the whole person: emotional health, relationships, values, and life context. Therapy is tailored and collaborative, adjusting as clients grow and their needs evolve. With couples, I support partners in improving communication, rebuilding trust, and strengthening their sense of teamwork. With individuals and young adults, I focus on developing insight, coping skills, emotional resilience, and clarity during periods of stress or transition. At its core, counseling is a collaborative process. Clients bring their experiences and goals; I provide structure, support, and clinical guidance to help create meaningful, sustainable change.

I am a compassionate and client-centered therapist with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Texas at Tyler. My work is grounded in evidence-based practices and guided by a deep respect for each client’s unique story, strengths, and cultural background. I draw from multicultural, cognitive-behavioral (CBT), emotionally focused, and solution-focused therapeutic approaches to support meaningful healing, growth, and change. I enjoy working with individuals across the lifespan, as well as couples and families from diverse and ethnic backgrounds. My approach is collaborative, warm, and supportive, with a focus on creating a safe space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. Together, we work toward strengthening emotional well-being, improving relationships, and fostering lasting personal growth.
