Hello! My name is Jessica Aleman, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) serving the wonderful people of Texas. I have over 10 years experience in direct practice. Right now, I am working part-time as a therapist in addition to my full time position. One of my favorite things to do is spend time at the beach with my husband and spending time with my dogs Piper and Leo. I knew from a young age that I wanted to help people in some capacity and during school settled into social work. Experiences I have had growing up with my family allowed wonderful mental health professionals to help various family members on different things, and I am happy to now be that person who can support others. I have a great deal of experience providing treatment for a number of different diagnoses, including anxiety, depression, and mood disorders (among others). I also have experience working with the LGBTQ+ community to provide support and connection to resources. I have worked in a variety of settings, from community mental health, school based counseling (K-12 and higher education), and private practice settings. I believe that people are not defined by their experiences or what has happened to them in their past. Some of us just need some help to move forward in our lives past those experiences. I try my best to treat you and our therapeutic relationship with the utmost respect and understanding. My passion is working with young adults as they transition to the next stage in life, whatever that may be. I love supporting people through life changes and transitions, allowing people to blossom into who they truly are.

While managing my own counseling center, I also served several years teaching graduate students in the areas of counseling and psychology.

As your therapist, I can help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we cannot change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life.

This over-connected, technological world can make you anxious, but we'll work together to settle your mind. If you find yourself having a hard time lowering your irritation and controlling your anger, then I'll teach you how to think and not just react. Guilt can weigh you down and keep you trapped, so we will examine together how to forgive yourself. If your relationships are troubling and you find it difficult to talk with others effectively, we can improve your communication skills. Some days can seem a blur of almost constant stress and overwhelm, and I can show you what it's like to relax, be still and find peace.
