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.

I love being a counselor because it is so rewarding to help people through difficult times, both past and present. Helping people work through issues of sexual abuse, depression, anxiety, forgiveness, relationships, and anger is my passion. I have about 15 years of experience working with adults and couples.

Hello, I’m Teresa Draper, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who works with adults and couples navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, communication difficulties, boundaries, and life transitions. I earned my master’s degree from Capella University and have experience working with clients across a range of clinical settings.

I’m especially passionate about relationship work. I help couples strengthen communication, navigate conflict, rebuild connection, and develop healthier relationship patterns. I also work with engaged and committed couples preparing for marriage and am a Certified SYMBIS Facilitator and Twogether in Texas premarital provider.

Whether you’re coming to therapy individually or with a partner, I believe meaningful change begins with understanding where you are, getting clear about where you want to go, and identifying practical steps to help you move forward.

The counseling relationship between you and I is one of mutual respect and responsibility. Starting with understanding where you are now and the challenges you are facing, we will work together to help you move forward and reach your goals. Therapy is a process that takes place in a non-judgmental environment where you are free to share your thoughts, emotions, and concerns.

I work with older adolescents, adults and couples. Clients come to me for a variety of reasons including recent or past trauma, various forms of abuse, relationship difficulties, life stresses and transitions, depression, grief, anxiety, as well as personal growth and development, among others.

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 20 years experience, person centered, trauma informed approach. EMDR Certified for trauma. Certified in CBT, MET, and COPSD. Masters Addiction Counselor. Combine Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and EMDR for holistic approach to trauma and negative core beliefs. Experienced PTSD therapist, including military.

A little about me:

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and my Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Dallas Baptist University.

I really enjoy working with adults and couples.

But just a note: I am not able to accept insurance for couples counseling.

I am a Christian and, if you want to bring your faith into counseling, I'm happy to provide therapy that integrates faith without bypassing your emotional experience.
