Teletherapy for Dallas, TX

Hello! I am one of the founders of I AM Therapy. As the daughter of immigrants, I understand first hand the importance of representation in any space and the challenges that come with looking for the American dream. That is why I am so passionate about providing mental health services to the Hispanic/Latin and BIPOC community whether that be in English or Spanish. This includes working with clients with trauma backgrounds such as domestic violence, growing up in an abusive home, immigration trauma, life transitions, grief, religious trauma, depression, and anxiety.

Are you ready to be more vulnerable but aren’t sure where to start? Have you found yourself struggling to share honestly with those around you? Or maybe you’ve tried sharing more of yourself with others, but you aren’t sure where you belong or if others will accept you? Our families can have a big impact on how we show up in our adult relationships. Cultural messages often impact how safe we feel to be fully ourselves. Shame and guilt can hold us back from experiencing intimacy and connection with ourselves and others. Together we will help you heal from any past wounds so you can feel more aligned in the present.

Let's create a safe place for you to be able to explore; whether you need to explore your anxiety, self-esteem, or even past trauma. I enjoy helping others work on understanding and learning how to manage anxiety. I have insight within the Latinx community and enjoy working on stopping generational trauma. Trauma is a difficult journey to work through, however, it is not impossible. We will begin this journey by allowing yourself to be open and curious throughout this process. Let's set realistic goals and take one step at a time.

I am a first-generation, Latinx, Mexican American female. As someone who has struggled, fought, and overcome, I consider it a privilege to assist others in finding their way through their journey. I am a dancer, an artist, a creator, a mother, a wife, a survivor, a counselor, and a Ph.D. student in marriage and family therapy- aspects that assist me in the creative connection that I believe therapy to be. Counseling is an art form in that a person is given permission to gain access to what is most personal, private, and possibly broken within.

I strongly believe in the potential of human beings to access their inner resources to create change and empower themselves to have the quality of life they want and they deserve. I am a Spanish/English Bilingual Therapist who works with adults. As an immigrant myself, I understand cross-cultural and acculturation situations that hinder daily life due to immigration processes. Part of my focus as a therapist is to comprehend and work with the nuances of different backgrounds and cultural needs. I have been a hypnotherapist for over 14 years. I have extensive training and experience in Traditional and Ericksonian Hypnosis. I also have training in healing emotional wounds through regressive techniques. I truly believe hypnosis is a magnificent technique to help clients reach out their inner resources, create change and empower themselves. As an active member of the North Texas Society of Clinical Hypnosis, I’ve had the opportunity to be part of international congresses in Mexico and Costa Rica as well as facilitated webinars with similar groups of professionals in Italy, France and Reunion Island.

Chris embodies social justice by utilizing an anti-racist, anti-oppressive, and intersectional approach in the therapy space. To promote transparency and share how they navigate the world, Chris is Latinx/e biracial, queer, nonbinary/agender, neurodivergent, fat/larger-bodied person. Chris is also in an interracial marriage with their Black husband, and they have one dog together. Chris continues to further their learning and understanding within therapy by centering disabled, queer, transgender, and BIPOC folk in the research they read and the educational materials they engage with.

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.

My mission is to empower others by helping them find their voice and supporting them on their journey to find freedom through therapy. I place great value on the uniqueness of each client I serve.

My cultural experience is rooted in being a BIPOC woman and being immersed in Hispanic cultural experiences and enmeshed in military traditions. I confidently navigate through cultural contexts with the LGBTQ community, military families, various religious affiliations, and other marginalized minority groups.
