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.

Welcome! My name is Marquin Decker and I hold a Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of North Texas. I am Licensed Professional Counselor and am EMDR Trained.

I didn’t grow up with the healthy mother-daughter relationship I longed for, and that experience shaped my desire to help others find healing. Today, I’m passionate about helping my clients build the connection, understanding, and relationship they deserve. I specialize in working with women and teens as well as incorporating equine and animal-assisted therapies. I am also trained in play therapy and can work with children ages 6-10yo.

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.

Every person will encounter difficult obstacles in life, but your past or current struggles do not have to define your future. I have devoted my life to empowering people experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, post-traumatic stress, ADHD, and other issues, helping them find long-term solutions. I provide therapy in a non-judgmental, supportive space with the goal that you will recognize your value and capacity for wholeness regardless of what holds you back today.

I believe healing and growth happen best when people feel safe, accepted, and genuinely cared for. I love working with children, teens, and families, and I strive to create a warm, supportive space where clients can feel comfortable being themselves.

For children, I have advanced training in Child-Centered Play Therapy, which allows them to express feelings, work through challenges, and build confidence through the natural language of play. Often, children communicate much more through play than they can with words, and I enjoy helping them feel understood and supported in ways that fit their developmental needs.

I love what I do. I've been providing therapy in various settings for over 4 years, and I bring a direct but very human style to the therapy room. I am certified in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and I love working with Adult ADHD, folks in recovery from substance use, and women who might be struggling with anxiety and depression and just the general overwhelm of life and putting one foot in front of the other.

Thank you for taking the courageous step to reach out for help. I would be honored to work along side you on your journey towards personal growth and empowerment. I have over 28 years of experience in working in mental health. My experience includes private practice, Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy, nonprofit, domestic violence, and substance abuse. I also spent 21 years in public education as a teacher, school counselor, and therapeutic counselor.

You deserve to feel happy and fulfilled! I am a firm believer that we are continually growing as we walk through this journey of life. Do you lay in bed and hit snooze one last time hoping that you can get up so you're not late? Late to the job that doesn't fulfill those dreams and desires you had. The job that is just a means to an end, in an endless stream of means and ends. You want to escape these feelings of unhappiness, doubt, frustration, and hopelessness. You long to feel whole, complete, and satisfied with the ebbs and flows of life. Your desire to change is strong, but you're not sure where to start.

We know that life won't be perfect all the time, but what if that could be okay? What if we can accept the bad, negative feelings as part of the process?

I am so glad you're here! I'm Jessica Haffner, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas, and trauma therapy is the center of my work. I am trained in EMDR and in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and I earned my Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Sam Houston State University. I opened my private practice in January of 2025. I have a particular passion for working with women navigating symptoms of trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the challenges that come with different seasons of life.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas, I believe addressing mental health concerns affects every area of our well-being. I have practiced for 5 years, but over the last couple of years, I have added EMDR training and draw on various counseling approaches based on the individual. My clients range from their early 20s to 80 years old.

I’m a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who provides a warm, compassionate, and judgment-free space for adolescents and adults. I support clients experiencing anxiety, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, or feeling stuck and uncertain about what comes next.
