Thank you so much for visiting my profile. I'm so happy that you're reaching out for help. I am also excited for you, and delighted that you're taking a courageous first step in bringing your issues here to the platform. I have a 20+ year background in providing counseling and psychotherapy services to integrated behavioral health patients of all ages, from the chronically mentally ill, those with self-esteem problems, relationship problems, spirituality concerns, identity issues, those who suffer from terminal medical illnesses, in addition to those battling severe chemical dependency problems. I also have experience in providing therapy for inmates as well, and I'm currently attending medical courses to develop learning along the the biochemical spectrum of clinical disorders for future psychiatric practice. I am a strategic and very practical therapist who truly believes in meeting my clients where they are. I also believe that a competent therapist is able to understand their clients' personal orientations, and arrange a set of therapies they can apply in order to best reach the client, and help them understand how to use therapeutic principles for healing purposes.

I can also help with anxiety, depression, family and relationship issues, life transitions, grief/loss, and more. I have a warm, relational and eclectic approach to therapy and am skilled in a multitude of evidence based treatment approaches. For example, I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps individuals change their thinking and manage challenging emotions and maladaptive behaviors. I also frequently utilize Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), an evidence based intervention which is shown to increase awareness of thoughts, urges and feelings, increase one’s ability to cope with intense emotions, and helps decrease impulsivity. Incorporating DBT techniques in one’s life often translates into increased self- esteem, improved communication, healthier relationships, and a more meaningful existence. In addition to evidence based approaches, I also use expressive arts in my practice and am proud to be a former art educator (EC-12th grades). I am currently a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Texas, I hold a BA in Psychology from Southern Methodist University and an MA in Counseling Psychology from Boston College.

Have you ever wondered, “What is wrong with me?” If your mirror can talk back to you, what would it say? What good things or bad things will it tell you and how would you respond? I will be the mirror that will help you learn more about yourself and will give you an honest reflection so that you can make the best decisions for yourself. I tailor my counseling approach based on your specific needs and goals. I combine a person-centered counseling approach with brief solution-focused therapy to give you the best outcome. I have a master’s in counseling with a dual emphasis on both School Counseling and Agency Counseling. I have over 17 years of counseling experience with all age groups, diverse populations, and subject matter. You don’t have to do life alone. Bring me your challenges, your struggles, and your troubles, and let’s work together to resolve them.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with nearly ten years experience in counseling. I recently moved to Colorado but will remain licensed in Texas and will continue to work with Texas clients. I have worked with clients with a wide range of challenges but my specialties include parenting difficulties, childhood trauma, abuse, Autism, social difficulties, mood disorders, grief, ADHD, anxiety and depression. My counseling approach is person-centered and I strive to create an environment in which you feel safe to share your story. I have always believed that everyone can benefit from counseling and I believe that is even more true as we have all been touched by the difficulties and challenges of the last few years related to pandemic stress, isolation and loss.

I offer a safe space for clients to gain insight, learn more about themselves, and heal from painful experiences that continue to affect their personal life. In my practice, I help clients to reinvent themselves and unlearn unhealthy patterns that no longer serve a purpose through a compassionate approach.

Hi, I'm Jasmine. My motto is "I show up authentically myself so that you can show up authentically yourself." My passion is to create a safe place so that you can express yourself without judgment. Sometimes we have big feelings and we need someone to help us make sense of them. That's where I am come in! During our work together we will process through your feelings so that you can we can get to the deeper meaning of WHY! Why I am I feelings this way? Why do these things keep happening to me? and Why does it feel like I'm going crazy? Processing throught the "Why" can help us get to the HOW! How do I cope with these feelings? How do I get my life back? How do I regain my sanity? I am an experienced professional that has helped many clients over the years in mental health counseling. There is nothing more important to me than your mental and emotional progress. With the use of psychotherapy, I focus on assisting individuals in their journey to healing. Treatment modalities and interventions include but are not limited to, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Mindfulness. All treatment plans and goals will be tailored to each client's individual needs.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Texas rather than a city like Dallas?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Texas from Houston to Austin! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Texas.

Will my therapist take Oxford / Optum?

Yes! If you use Oxford / Optum you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have Oxford / Optum you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

What are the "Clients say I'm" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
