As a PhD, Licensed Professional Counselor, CSAT and Co-Owner/Executive Director of The Timothy Center, my daily focus is on helping others find God's solutions to life challenges. In the many years of counseling couples, individuals, teens and their families, my experience has shown me that it is never too late to turn your life or the life of your family around. With extensive training, the right assessment tools, and your commitment to hard work, together we can work on reshaping how we think, remember, and behave.

Pastoral Counselor 14 years experience helping troubled teens, individuals, and couples.

Currently, I am accepting new clients in both Austin and Killeen. I specialize in mobile/phone counseling in Austin for my 3 treatment groups, no insurance currently. I have no wait list for EMDR clients, and I accept TriCare in Killeen office location.

Immediate Availability- Successful therapy depends on the therapist's ability to connect with the client, understand their goals, adapt to their needs, and cultivate a safe, secure space in which to foster emotional awareness and personal growth.

My ideal client feels stuck in cycles of shame, self-criticism, or isolation, often due to past trauma, grief, or addiction struggles. They’re ready to unpack these experiences and build lasting resilience, self-acceptance, and a renewed sense of peace. Together, we’ll rewrite those old narratives, build real coping skills, and reconnect them to life’s possibilities—one step at a time.

Feeling alone, hurt, and disconnected. Struggling with relationship stress, an eating disorder, or general mental health? We often find ourselves trapped in negative, repetitive patterns of attempting to solve the problem on our own with no success. We desperately desire to be seen and heard and when this fails it can lead to arguments, shutting down, or avoidance. The more we try to break free from this pattern, the more isolated and hurt we feel. We yearn for comfort and healing. Whether this is affecting how you personally cope with challenging problems or hindering your connection with your loved one, there is help.

Hi! I’m Dr. Jasmine Jenkins, but my clients usually call me Jasmine, Doc, or Dr. J. I am a multiculturally focused licensed psychologist and the founder of Rejuvenate! I specialize in group treatment for people of color who want to heal, learn new skills, and build a life of wellness. Although I am currently focused on groups, in individual therapy, I work with people who: 1) “just need a person/professional to talk to,” 2) Desire help with mild mental health symptoms, 3) Struggle with emotion regulation and/or want to find a reason to stay alive. → these individuals usually benefit from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).

I believe therapy is broad and ever changing, shaping to fit your needs as you move through life’s ups and downs. Some people utilize therapy to address an acute problem, while others see it more as a tool for maintenance, same as we view exercise. Regardless of the circumstances, I know therapy has a positive role to play for all. Whatever the road that brought you here, and your lived experiences that have uniquely crafted you, this is a place for you to find growth and relief. Together we will create a safe space for you to unburden your mind and explore yourself more deeply.

My ideal client would be someone who is open to expressive therapies when words are not enough. Goals ranging from increasing coping skills and self-acceptance to crisis intervention, I believe that connection is one of the most important factors in the therapy setting and clients would want to partner together in healing.

Giving ourselves the time and space to be vulnerable, to reflect on our current selves and want to improve takes courage, perseverance, and self-reflection. If you're here, you have taken the first step in working towards giving yourself that time and space, and I invite you to take a moment to breathe, knowing you are exactly where you need to be. While working with me, I will provide you with a safe, collaborative, and judgment free space to help you reach your goals. Together, we will explore past or present experiences at your pace, while helping you gain insight into your world and feel empowered to make the changes you desire.
