Jennifer has extensive experience in helping people reach their highest level of self-fulfillment through developing healthy coping skills and a positive self-image. She works with teens, adults, couples and families. Though she is solution-focused, her clients say she is very down-to-earth, non-judgmental and easy to relate to.

I work with adolescents and adults who are struggling with issues such as anxiety, mood regulation, substance use, self-esteem, motivation, anger, and impulsivity. Prior to joining University Park Counseling & Testing Center PLLC, I spent several years working in inpatient psychiatric hospitals, residential treatment, and intensive outpatient treatment. Through these professional endeavors, I am well-versed in treating a wide range of mental health concerns with a specialty in substance use and high-risk behaviors. Currently accepting clients in-person and virtually with evening & weekend appointments available.

Do you feel like you’ve come to a place in your life where something’s gotta give? Are you at a crossroads and unsure where you need or want to go? This is where I can help you start your journey to discovering life doesn’t have to be this way anymore. As a counselor, my job isn’t to give you the answers or tell you what to do. I believe you are capable of figuring that out for yourself. My job is to walk alongside you as you wrestle through life’s difficult moments. I get the opportunity to equip, support, challenge and remind you that you are not alone and you are worth the hard work of change.

Relationships and human connections are very important to most people. Communication and interaction with others is not always as easy as you and I wish. Life circumstances and our personalities influence the way we all cope with life and relationships. If your life is not what you want it to be today, you are not flawed or need 'to be fixed' in some way, but you can learn to understand yourself better and change perspectives to create a happier life, one more suited for you.

We all are capable of living happy and healthy lives. Over the years, I have supported the diverse needs of my clients through the strength of the therapeutic relationship, nurturing the trust and acceptance required for positive change. I consider it an honor to embark on this journey with you, respecting your experience as it has provided a foundation for healing. I would like to help guide you in discovering personal balance and individualized self-worth, as we work to reveal the seemingly lost or hidden strengths buried within.

Are you having trouble communicating effectively in your relationships? Do you wish you had the words to say what you want? Are you fearful of offending others if you say what you think?You can become more authentic and therefore happier if you learn effective ways to communicate. I work with couples who want to improve their relationship, as well as with individual issues, such as anxiety, depression, and lack of goals and energy. Change for the better can happen sooner than you may think. I am a seasoned therapist with many years of experience. I help clients find the words to express what they want to say clearly and peacefully.

Being a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas for many years, I have enjoyed a type of therapy that allows an individual to find freedom through acceptance of their issues rather than running from the reality of their existence. As we come to understand our past and how it has shaped us, we can then begin the practice of choosing differently for ourselves in the present and for our future. This search is a sacred process where therapist and client join together, rather than a therapy done 'to' you as a client. I would like to join in that process with you!

Adolescent and adult cognitive behavior therapist with training and experience in depression, anxiety, family stress, suicide, life changes, and emotional dysregulation. I tailor each treatment plan and session to my client's goals and strengths in order to increase emotion regulation, manage ineffective thoughts, and increase distress tolerance. My goal is for clients to develop and implement coping skills, improve interpersonal effectiveness and create a life worth living. I believe that unconditional positive support, honesty, and a little humor are crucial to success in therapy.

The path of progress comes from collaboration in an atmosphere of cooperation, education, and insight. Whether our stress is around our internal needs, people close to us, or with the state of the world, the counseling relationship is about accessing and utilizing your innate ability to learn and grow from where you are into the better life you seek. Covid-19 has disrupted nearly all our connections with friends, family, work, and community. This has brought out the unfulfilled need for connection in relationships already stressful, and has inspired people to find creative ways of strengthening connection.

People enjoy daily routines in life. Going to work, spending time with family and friends, and hobbies that they love to pursue. Sometimes, unhealthy habits intertwine with such routines, such substance use or non-communication with family members. These habits can interrupt our daily routines and turn into an obsession. Instead of looking forward to the weekend to spend time with healthy endeavors, the weekends could be a time to escape or isolate

I'm glad you found me on the Therapy Directory. I'd like to help. I only see clients during evenings and weekends, which are prime time therapist hours. I have an eclectic approach to treatment, since I am trained in many different styles. I use whatever style best suits the client. My belief is that you have the answers you need. My job is to help you overcome the obstacles in your way and help you see things you can't see at this time. I would like to be of help. Let me know if I can serve you.

Finding someone that provides an environment that allows you the ability to be vulnerable and safe is a vital component to successful therapy. In each interaction, I hope to foster this type of experience. I will meet you where you are, providing individualized care to suit your needs. Without an agenda and preconceived ideas, I hope to help foster the growth that you are looking to attain.

Therapy is a fearless and courageous journey towards self-discovery. Whether you are struggling with addictions, unhealthy behaviors, depression, relational problems, trauma, or any other significant issue in your life, you are being challenged to look deep within. At Intrepid Counseling we don't look just to eliminate the symptom, but to discover its root and heal within. This indeed is nothing short of a heroic and spiritual journey.

My ideal client is one primarily motivated for change. I'm not an "ah huh, mmmm, I see" therapist. I am very active in sessions so my client wants honest, direct feedback and education on issues and new skills for more success. I am also patient, seasoned and aware that fear and habits make change hard, so I offer significant support and positive encouragement. My therapy involves Cognitive/Behavioral techniques meaning: understanding you "head chatter" and skills to decrease or make more positive (often driven by anxiety), and changing or creating "actions" that increase positive results and confidence.

Are you feeling like something is “off”? Is the "committee" in your head so loud it is interfereing? Do you no longer enjoy the things you used to? Are you choosing to “numb out” your thoughts and feelings and engaging in unhealthy habits? Are you able to nurture your relationships, or are you neglecting to “feed” the relationship? These questions require us to take a deep, hard look into “self”, sometimes from a 20,000 feet above perspective. The idea of doing something different can be difficult, but change is necessary to facilitate growth. What is working for you and what can you change? Rearview mirror or forward focused?
