Therapists for college students near Rice University
Are you stressed out, burnt out, overwhelmed, and just OVER IT? I'm here to provide a safe, therapeutic space for you to process your experiences. I work well with people who are overly anxious and have been told they're "overthinkers." Starting therapy can be daunting, but it doesn't have to be difficult. It doesn't have to be scary. Getting started is the hardest part, but once you're in, you'll be able to jump in and learn new tools, process your emotions, and just VENT sometimes. You need someone on your side who can GET you. Someone who wants to help you and understand you. Email me to get started because I'd love to meet! I provide virtual counseling for residents of Texas, Colorado, and Oklahoma, and I'm available evenings and weekends!

Do you feel exhausted always chasing the next milestone, but it never feeling like enough? Do you feel burned out and ready to quit but still wanting to achieve your goals? or maybe a sense of self-doubt with the pressure to always perform at your absolute best? Are your relationships suffering because you prioritize your goals over your loved ones? Do you feel like something is missing or unsure of who you are outside of what you can accomplish? Or even worried that others may perceive you as weak or incapable? How is that guilt showing up that you might need to spend time prioritizing your mental health as well?
Welcome! I’m an individual and family therapist specializing in anxiety, depression, PMDD, relationship issues, and life transitions including adjustment to college. Within my practice, I offer a warm, collaborative space where it’s safe to bring your full self—your strengths, your stuck points, and the parts you’re still figuring out. I believe that when we feel safe enough in a therapeutic relationship to take risks and let down walls, we pave the way for insight and growth that lead to meaningful change.
Sharing your story and asking for help can feel scary, and that's okay! You may feel overwhelmed, discouraged, or lost in connecting to your authentic self. I am here to listen. Are feelings of guilt and shame making it hard to forgive yourself? Or has difficulty finding motivation or a life transition left you at a loss of control over your environment? Maybe unsaid expectations about how you "should" look or feel left you exhausted? Perhaps fear and anxiety are holding you back, making you feel stuck. If so, I am here to help and provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to heal. I specialize in working with women suffering from depression, shame, anxiety, ADHD, and insecurity. In addition to these specialties, I also have extensive experience working with individuals struggling with religious shame and related emotional concerns. I believe asking for help is one of the bravest things a person can do. In my sessions, I foster an authentic environment that allows my clients to feel heard, empowered, and celebrated. I want my clients to feel a sense of belonging and purpose in sharing their unique story. I appreciate the opportunity to listen and partner with in your healing journey.
Hi! Many of the clients I work with are looking to work through trauma and work towards building and maintaining fulfilling relationships, process trauma from relationships, reduce anxiety and depression, and learn healthy coping skills. In sessions I place high importance on the relationships I build with my clients as this plays the most crucial role in therapy success. I model my values by maintaining an approach that is affirming, trauma-informed, open-minded, and compassionate while also being direct. My approach will honor your unique experience and be focused on your personal needs. I incorporate CBT, RCT, EMDR & narrative therapy into our sessions to help you navigate harmful thinking patterns/behaviors, process trauma, & have healthier relationships with yourself/others.
Are you tired of people telling you how strong you are? Friends, family and even some therapists will often say this with the best of intentions. True healing, however, moves beyond pure resiliency. We must go further than just managing our emotions and begin to process and heal them so we can move through. As your therapist I will be both companion and challenger along your journey. I will walk alongside you and bring a genuine sense of compassion to any difficulties you may face. I offer a safe, open and non-judgmental space for you to find your own voice and equip you with tools to move forward and reach a more contented life. My therapeutic approach is integrative and incorporates a blend of cognitive behavioral, body based, emotion focused, family systems and relational orientations. I offer a holistic approach to treatment, taking into account your personality and life circumstances to create a specialized plan which reflects your own unique goals and gifts.
My basic goal in therapy is to help you overcome challenges and lead a more fulfilling life. My therapeutic style is calm, comforting and problem focused. I offer a sliding scale payment structure created especially for students and also work with several major insurance plans. An optional initial 10-15 minute “get acquainted” phone call is free and without obligation. Call me to discuss this option (210) 664-4101 or to schedule an intake session for therapy. See my schedule for weekly clinic hours. All sessions at this time are virtual using a secure confidential platform. Please call or email me (jekpsychotherapy@gmail.com) with any questions. I hope to hear from you soon. Best wishes!
With both the high and on-going demands of college, you may have noticed your body is struggling with things like headaches, knots in your back or shoulders and/or GI disteess. Behavioral medicine counseling can help with these types of pain, as well as chronic medical issues. My practice offers highly effective techniques in a supportive and compassionate style.
Do you feel like adulting is just too much sometimes? Especially when you're juggling finances, relationships, work, and all the things? What about feeling overwhelmed with emotions you can't name or even feeling completely disconnected mentally, emotionally, and physically? Do you find yourself doomscrolling at 3am, diagnosing with the latest TikTok symptoms or shaming yourself over LinkedIn comparisons? Maybe you're highly self-aware and have 20 books on exactly what's wrong (hello, intellectualizing!) but still feel stuck. And that family trauma they swear never happened? Yeah, it's still showing up in your life today. I get it. I'm the opposite of a blank slate therapist. One who keeps it real—not just with a "yeah...okay...mmm" and nod. Using a holistic approach, I help Gen Z and Millennials that are seeking deep healing and liberation. Together, we'll move beyond just understanding your patterns to creating real change, using evidence-based tools for your mind, body, and soul. If you want to get unstuck, break those generational cycles, and start thriving (not just surviving), I can help. Even if you don't think your challenges are "serious enough" for therapy, you deserve support too. Ready to create a life that feels aligned and authentically yours? Schedule an intake or free 15 min consultation and let's see if we're a good fit!

With over 15 years of experience as a clinician, I provide a supportive and evidence-based approach to therapy for adults. I recognize that many different circumstances bring someone to therapy, and there’s no one single intervention that works for each person. With that in mind, I value understanding each person‘s history and collaboratively developing a “road map” for meaningful change. Holding a Master of Science in Social Work from the University of Texas, I have treated a variety of mental health conditions and assisted clients with complex life changes and “seasons”. My approach integrates psychoeducation, skill-building, and validation to empower clients with practical tools for growth. Whether you’re facing emotional struggles, relationship difficulties, or simply seeking personal growth, my goal is to create a safe, collaborative space where healing and progress can occur.
