Looking for a therapist with a solution-focused, strengths-based approach to help you or your child? I value meeting clients where they are in their journeys, and I'm glad we connected! At Golden Paws Counseling Services PLLC, I provide trauma-informed interventions and neurodiversity-affirming support for children, adolescents, and adults. My practice includes virtual (for Texas residents), in-person, and experiential animal-assisted interventions to help with symptoms of anxiety, nervous system and emotional regulation, navigating changes and loss, and overcoming challenges and building resilience.
My approach is positive, collaborative, and maximizes time in sessions. Animal-assisted activities can foster trust; mitigate symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression; and build confidence. Neurodivergent clients, (including those with symptoms of ADHD or autism) can learn and practice self-advocacy, setting boundaries, and developing social skills.
Contact me for a free 30 minute consultation. I would love to learn more about your needs and how I can support you or your child. I create a "no judgment zone" that is authentic, safe, and celebrates diversity. I look forward to partnering with you to foster growth and healing and to help you or your child thrive.
Call or Karen Jones now for a free 15 minute consultation - (512) 337-4027

I work with clients who may have difficulty navigating neurodiversity in an often non neurodiversity-affirming world. Whether you are trying to define your "new normal" due to loss or life changes, or you are needing new strategies for yourself or your child to better thrive emotionally, I strive to maximize time in sessions and focus on practical application.

Elements of CBT may be used to identify, address, and replace "faulty cognitions." Solution-focused counseling techniques capitalize on your strengths and practical applications to your life. I believe in creating a welcoming and calm environment that fosters authenticity.
