Couples therapists in Lake Jackson, TX

With over 10 years of experience as a School Psychologist, I support children’s social, emotional, and academic growth. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I also specialize in stress, anxiety, depression, and mood-related concerns.

I'm Dr. Joyce Thomas-Campbell, and I've spent more than 40 years walking alongside people through some of life's most tender and difficult seasons. My career has taken me from directing counseling and student support programs at Paul Quinn College, to leading Communities in Schools, to years of counseling at Texas State Technical College. Along the way, I also founded Empowering a Better You, because I believe deeply that everyone has the capacity to grow into a stronger, fuller version of themselves.

What all those years have taught me is simple: people don't need to be fixed, they need to be heard. I bring warmth, honesty, and a good deal of lived wisdom to every conversation. I'm the kind of person who will listen closely, tell you the truth kindly, and stay in your corner. Outside of my work, I'm a wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, so I understand family, love, loss, and resilience not just as a counselor but as someone who has lived it. I also stay current with the latest in the field through ongoing training each year, because you deserve care that's both seasoned and up to date.

I help you make sense of the patterns that keep you feeling stuck and find practical strategies that actually fit your life. My style is warm, honest, and collaborative, with a balance of reflection and action. Together, we’ll get clear on what’s getting in the way and create a path forward that feels realistic, sustainable, and meaningful for you.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or stretched thin by anxiety, depression, relationship stress, or life changes, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I work with individuals who want a space to feel understood, supported, and empowered as they move through challenges and toward meaningful growth. My goal is to create an affirming, compassionate environment where you can show up as you are and begin making sense of what you’re carrying.

Greetings! I am from a Criminal Justice followed by a School Counselor Background. When we meet, I will explain how I became a Licensed Professional Counselor. I love it here, I believe mental health is utmost important in contributing to our happy place in life, and I am looking forward to meeting you!

I love helping people develop skills to improve their lives, communication and relationships. It is important to know that one theory does not meet everyone’s needs, therefore I use many different approaches to helping my clients to build their own best version of themselves.

I am a bilingual therapist who has worked in the public education system for more than 15 years. I have experience working in several settings such as public schools, non-profits and corporations. I have earned a Master’s degree in Divinity, a Master’s degree in School Counseling, and a Master’s degree in Public School Administration. I have more than 15 years of experience working with children and adolescents to overcome school struggles. I have more than 10 years of experience working with women of all ages. In 2018, I was honored to receive a Congressional Award for my Inclusion work. I believe that everyone deserves a second chance.

I am trained in EMDR therapy and I am available for virtual sessions most afternoons and weekends.

I have over 30 years of experience in diverse fields of mental health. I love what I do and have a true passion to help people.

As both a mental health and addiction professional, I bring a compassionate and holistic perspective to my work with clients. I understand that each person’s experiences are unique, and I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable exploring challenges, building on their strengths, and working toward meaningful change.

My educational background reflects my commitment to understanding the connection between mental health, trauma, and overall well-being. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Health Promotion with a minor in Psychology from Colorado State University–Pueblo, followed by a Master of Social Work with a concentration in Mental Health and Trauma from the University of Denver.

I’m Destiny Parker, a counselor, educator, and wellness advocate who believes healing happens when people feel seen, safe, and supported as their full selves.

In my clinical work, I support individuals who are managing stress, burnout, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the lingering effects of trauma. I have a particular passion for working with educators, caregivers, and helping professionals who often prioritize everyone else while quietly carrying their own emotional load. I also work with adolescents and young adults as they navigate self-esteem, peer relationships, identity exploration, and emotional resilience.
