About Me
I'm Jessica A. Garrett M.A., NCC, LPC-S. As a Licensed Professional Counselor I have spent the last several years working with clients who struggle with Complex Trauma and Dissociative Disorders. Prior to moving to Texas I was working in Colorado. I started off as a Licensed School Counselor and transitioned to private practice when my husband had to go on another deployment. I needed more flexibility with my schedule in order to be present for our kids and animals. When I first opened my practice I started working with pre teens and adolescents. After becoming a Certified EMDR Therapist I began working with Military Veterans. Many of the clients that were drawn to my practice struggled with Complex Trauma. In order to provide as much clinical support as I could, I invested heavily in continuing education, and working with mentors as a way to accelerate my knowledge to better able serve this extremely misunderstood and misdiagnosed population. It is my goal to continue to assist individuals in ways that fit with their values, morals, and belief systems.
