Hey all! My name is Jennifer. I’m a first-generation Latinx therapist, and I am no stranger to adversity.

My name is Jena Bennett and I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor for 13 years. I specialize in trauma and grief counseling. Currently, I work with individuals and married couples. I believe when people find help and healing there is a ripple effect of healing in our culture.

While my credentials reflect my dedication, my true strength is the genuine care and seasoned skill I invest in you. I bring deep empathy and clinical expertise to our work together, drawing from my 15 years of experience as a Doctor of Psychology with an Ed.D. in counseling psychology. As a Texas LPC and a Nationally Certified Counselor, my foundation began at Virginia State University, a proud HBCU, where I earned a BS in psychology. Several years after graduating, I earned an MA in School Counseling/Psychology with a focus on marriage and family therapy.

Lifelong experience as a professional dancer and choreographer, allows me to foster deep, creative healing that honors your individual journey. My perspective is further shaped by my work as a professor, wherein I study the psychological impact of media on women’s self-esteem, allowing me to help navigate modern pressures while protecting your mental well-being.

Everyone deserves to have a trusted support or guide along life’s journey­­––counseling can be a place to find just that. Counseling can be like a cool drink of water in a desert oasis, helping you rejuvenate and find rest for your soul, while you’re working towards where you want to be.

My practice utilizes a blend of compassionate care and practical life coaching, helping individuals and couples unearth their authentic selves, cultivate healthy relationships, and foster emotional intelligence. I focus on guiding clients toward personal growth, self-awareness, and creating a balanced, fulfilling life.

I am a firm believer in turning struggle to strength. I believe in you and the power of change. I am an empathetic listener and want to journey with you through your most difficult days to help you celebrate the great days!

Our current and past life circumstances can often leave us with feelings of stress, anxiety, and sadness. These emotions can be confusing and difficult to manage and process. My goal is to come alongside clients to reach personal goals, using warmth, understanding, and acceptance. I will work with you, with you in the driver’s seat, to set goals, explore and gain understanding of yourself, process your emotions in a safe space, reframe negative beliefs about yourself, and find solutions that work for you. I enjoy working with clients with a variety of concerns including general anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues.

I have a variety of experience providing individual, family, and couples therapy to a range of clients from young children to adults. Having worked in environments including the school system, outpatient facilities and private practice, I have a solid understanding of how to collaborate with clients to identify their needs and provide appropriate support or connect to the right community resources. Throughout my career, I have gained experience with navigating conflict resolution, addressing general DSM-5 diagnosis’, and helping clients increase emotional regulation and distress tolerance.

I want my clients to know that therapy with me is a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space. I understand that everyone’s journey is different, and I meet each person exactly where they are. My role isn’t to “fix” you, but to walk beside you as we explore challenges, build on strengths, and uncover solutions together.

As a veteran and counselor, I know what it means to face change, loss, and uncertainty—and I bring that understanding into my work. I believe healing happens through connection, honesty, and compassion. Whether we’re talking, creating, or using play in the therapy room, my goal is to help you feel heard, respected, and empowered.

I also want you to know that I’m real and relatable—I laugh, I listen deeply, and I genuinely care about your progress. You don’t have to have everything figured out to begin; you just have to be willing to start.

I'm Valerie Sewell, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S) who works with individuals managing stress, burnout, and the ongoing demands of work, family, caregiving, and everyday life. Many of the people I work with are balancing multiple responsibilities and are looking for practical ways to feel more in control and less overwhelmed.

I am also a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), which brings an additional behavioral lens to my work as a counselor. While our work together is focused on counseling, my behavioral background helps me recognize patterns, understand what may be contributing to them, and develop practical strategies for meaningful change.

I am fairly straightforward in how I work and believe therapy should be useful in your everyday life. You do not have to have everything figured out before coming to therapy. I will meet you where you are, and we will take things one step at a time.
