You have some ideas of what you want & what your life could be like but your body struggles to let you have it. Your past whisper doubts to you so decision making becomes an endless narrative of what if’s, doom and if you’re doing the right thing. The fear of the unknown imprisons your voice and most of your true self never gets seen. You want the confidence to trust your own knowing & have a peaceful life but sometimes this even scares you. Life has mostly shown you that you can only rely on yourself & it can get lonely, especially in childhood but now you're ready for healthy relationships and a chance to thrive.

My name is Janizelle Marichal, but I like to go by Jen. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor - Associate under the supervision of Dr. Lisa Grubbs Ph.D., LPC-S, and an Elementary School Counselor in Dallas ISD.

I started Lifeline CMS to help bring healing to those suffering with depression, anxiety and related mood disorders.

I focus on treating patients with evidence-based and integrative psycho-therapy models in individual, marriage and family, and group sessions as well as educational presentations and trainings. My goal is to guide you to build the skills you need to take back control of your mental and emotional health.

Retirees exploring life after a career, young adults trying to find their way, people struggling with feelings of depression and anxiety, and people searching for meaning: these are just some groups I enjoy working with. Nobody is immune to life's difficulties, and everybody faces trials such as stress and anxiety, among many others. The COVID pandemic has been a significant trial for everyone. You're not alone in your struggle to adjust. The fact that you're reading this means that you've already taken the first step to managing and improving your life.

I am thankful and encouraged that you have started exploring therapy. I acknowledge this first brave step. I don’t believe therapy is a “one size fits all,” and place high priority on working to find a treatment model that best fits your goals and needs. Whether you are seeking therapy to heal from a history of or recent trauma, learn healthy coping skills, process grief, identify patterns of negative thinking and behavior, improve family dynamics or find new parenting strategies, we can find a treatment plan that uniquely suits you.

“I value building a collaborative and trusting relationship with my clients. I believe a large piece of that is including my client’s interests and values. To this end, I view compassion, empathy, genuine regard, respect, and humor as invaluable in the therapeutic process.”

No matter how hard you try, you can’t seem to entirely escape your past. Even during moments of joy and elation, there’s still a darkness that clings to you and casts a shadow over everything you do.Part of you wants to explore these past wounds so that you can finally process and get over them. But you’re terrified to open the floodgates of that pain. Besides, you’ve lived with it for this long, and while it’s not ideal, at least it’s a pain you’re familiar with. However, you’re starting to realize that the longer you allow unresolved issues to fester, the more harmful and complex they become. Something needs to change.

Have you ever struggled to be your true self? Are there times when you don't feel seen or heard? Do you feel unfulfilled or like something is missing and you’re searching for _____? Perhaps you experience high expectations, doubt, perfectionism, unhealthy thinking patterns, and feel like your best isn’t good enough? So, you find yourself saying you’ll handle it later, it's not that bad, or your concerns will pass– yet the issue never disappears, and you’re left feeling like you're not enough, overwhelmed, out of control, stuck, frustrated, and alone. It may feel difficult to ask for help or you might fear being judged or rejected.

In practice I use a pragmatic, results-oriented approach and am not tethered to one behavioral health modality. Rather, recognizing each patient has unique needs, I draw from many therapeutic approaches that best fit each patient. In my practice, I can quickly assess which techniques will work best to meet each client's individual needs to show patients that they can have the right tools to reach their optimal comfort level in their careers, families, and relationships. The goal is bridging the gap and finding the most productive pathway between where clients are and where they want to be.

I first wish you well in your search to find a counselor that you can connect to. I have participated in counseling off and on throughout my life and consider our mental health as important as our physical health. Connection and relating are important in the counseling process. It is my hope to provide you with a warm and caring space. I do my best to be genuine and authentic and hope you feel comfortable enough to be yourself and share your thoughts and feelings without that fear of judgment. At the core of my philosophy, I believe truth, love and consciousness are traits we do best to foster.

Therapy is a relationship that works in part because of clearly defined roles and responsibilities held by each person. This frame helps to create the safety to take risks and the support, empower and create sustained change. I provide individual/partner/ marital/couples counseling.

I’m a therapist serving all of Texas. I’m a mom to a pretty bad-ass 12-year-old, a best friend to several gorgeous people, and a partner (I’m polyamorous, and have two partners currently). My friends, family, clients, and partners are the most important things on the planet to me. I have two cats, Rocco & Lilith, who are terrible, and I love them. I am a Health At Every Size provider. Four things that always make me happy: good coffee, The Office, a good eyeshadow palette, and fresh hydrangeas

Do you understand how a wound heals? Think about it. First, the pain needs to be acknowledged. Next, it needs to be tended to and stabilized. Then, the work of healing from within can begin. I believe in the significance of this understanding because, no matter what pains life may offer, we all possess an innate capacity to acknowledge, grow, and inspire change in our lives. We also need someone who is on our side, willing and committed to providing the conditions needed to feel safe and comfortable to express, explore, and heal from our struggles. Only then can we learn to lean into change.
