As an African American male who has personally experienced ADHD and anxiety, I understand how stress can make tasks feel overwhelming. I take a laid back, nonjudgmental approach to create a safe space for clients, making it easier to discuss challenges.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Louisiana and Texas with 9 years of experience. Since 2016, I’ve dedicated my career to supporting individuals in navigating anxiety, self-esteem, depression, life transitions, focus issues, and overcoming challenges. My approach is centered on helping clients shift thought patterns to create healthier perspectives, and I work to provide a professional yet welcoming environment where people feel heard, understood, and supported. I aim to help reduce anxiety and depression, while empowering clients to overcome obstacles and build resilience for long-term growth and positive change.
I earned my Master’s in Counseling and Guidance from Louisiana Tech University. I use cognitive behavioral therapy to guide clients in addressing challenges with new perspectives. By focusing on skills such as self-reflection and positive affirmations.
I understand firsthand how difficult mental health struggles can be, and I bring that insight into my work with every client. My goal is always to listen with compassion, meet clients where they are, and offer personalized support that addresses their unique needs and lived experiences, helping them move forward with confidence.

I believe real change begins when you feel truly seen and supported, so I meet you with empathy, honesty, and practical tools to help you move forward.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 8 years of experience in the mental health field, including 4 years as an LPC Associate and 4 years as a fully licensed clinician. My background includes work in schools, inpatient and outpatient settings, and telehealth, which has given me the opportunity to support individuals and families through a wide range of challenges. I believe real change begins when you feel truly seen and supported, so I meet you with empathy, honesty, and practical tools to help you move forward.
I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, emotional overwhelm, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. Many clients come to counseling feeling overstimulated, or unsure how to cope—looking for practical tools, clarity, and a sense of control. Others may be working through past trauma or patterns impacting their daily lives.
Whether you're seeking relief from immediate stressors or looking for deeper understanding and long-term growth, I strive to create a supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward.

Hi, my name is Jared, and I'm an LPC Associate with an M.S. in Counseling. I work with adults ages 18–63 navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction recovery, relationship wounds, identity development, and emotional pain. I also support LGBTQIA+ clients exploring identity, shame, religious trauma, self-acceptance, and rejection. My background includes PHP/IOP work with complex trauma, substance use, personality disorders, and major life transitions. I'm passionate about helping people move out of survival mode and toward healing, growth, and lasting change.
My approach is compassionate, direct, trauma-informed, and collaborative. I use CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and attachment-based work to help clients process trauma, regulate emotions, improve relationships, and break painful patterns. I also believe humor, authenticity, and joy are important parts of healing.
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to navigate things alone. I strive to create a space where clients feel safe, understood, and supported while working toward healing, growth, and lasting change. If you feel we may be a good fit, I'd be honored to work with you.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Thriveworks Couples therapy helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. It is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples. Some examples of common focuses within couples therapy include:
Couples therapy works by helping couples identify and better navigate their unique challenges. Following an initial assessment of the couple in terms of strengths and needs, the therapist would then discuss their therapeutic goals and any possible approaches or ways of working together as therapist and couple.Couples attend sessions together, whether they meet in person or by video. In addition to regular couples therapy sessions, each partner may also be asked to attend a few individual sessions to supplement their progress. This will allow their counselor to get to know each individual better, assess each of their personal needs, and develop the very best treatment plan moving forward.
Couples therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend couples therapy for 12 weeks. However, couples therapy may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress.
Relationships are hard. It’s difficult to argue this statement, as every single relationship experiences challenges. Consider the following scenarios:
The above scenarios certainly pose some serious challenges to these relationships. And there’s no telling how they might turn out. However, if these individuals sought help from a professional relationship counselor, they’d be able to ensure that they received the proper assistance and support.
Couples therapy and marriage counseling help couples work through their relationship challenges. These mental health services are led by professional counselors who have expertise and experience working with couples.
If you and your partner are struggling to see eye to eye, you’re suffering from commitment issues, your parents don’t approve of your relationship, or you’re struggling with another problem, consider calling Thriveworks Counseling in Katy, TX. We have relationship counselors who can help now.
As we said before, it’s completely normal to have relationship problems. In fact, it would be abnormal if you didn’t have problems in your relationship. Now, each couple has their own unique challenges, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t some common relationship issues that get distributed often. For example:
Are any of the above present in your relationship? Have you experienced any of these relationship issues in the past? If so, you’ve probably felt the strain of the above. If these aren’t handled properly, they can take a serious toll on your relationship.
The good news, of course, is that there are relationship counselors who are professionally trained to help people through these very problems. The marriage counselors and couples therapists at Thriveworks recognize that every individual and couple is different, which means each couple needs personalized treatment. When you come to your first session, they’ll start working to get to know you and your partner separately and as a pair.
We truly believe that every individual can benefit from counseling. And, if your relationship is suffering as a result of any given cause, it can benefit from professional counseling. In addition, couples therapy and marriage counseling can help to solidify a couple’s bond and strengthen their relationship. In other words, even if there aren’t severe problems present, your relationship can likely benefit from an expert’s perspective and insight.
The couples therapists and marriage counselors have helped couples of all varieties. We can assist those who have been together for merely a few months and those who said “I do,” 20+ years ago. Because we never stop experiencing relationship problems. However, we do learn how to better address and prepare for them with the help of a professional.
Have you decided that couples therapy or marriage counseling might be good for your relationship? Are you interested in hearing more about how relationship counseling could benefit you and your partner? Call Thriveworks Counseling in Katy, TX today. Our scheduling team is standing by to assist.
