Hello! My name is James Newman. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas. I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University and have worked across different levels of care, including community mental health and crisis intervention. I am forever grateful that modern technology allows me to practice counseling remotely via telehealth, because it allows me the opportunity to provide counseling to people in a convenient way, including to some who may otherwise never be able to access counseling services.


Currently I provide counseling via telehealth, and it is my aspiration to be able to provide in-person counseling in the Grayson County area by 2027.

With over 27 years of experience in education and a passion for helping others through counseling, I understand the unique challenges faced by educators, adults navigating life changes, parents supporting their families, and teens finding their way.

Jesica Hill

Jesica Hill

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


Hello! My name is Jesica and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Social Work in 2016, my master’s degree in 2019, and became an LCSW in 2025. My experience includes inpatient behavioral health, supporting individuals with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, religious trauma, relationship challenges, and eating disorders. I'm currently a social worker at the VA hospital with a primary focus in substance use and homelessness.


My passion for mental health is deeply personal. I once experienced my own struggles and had a therapist help me find hope and healing when I needed it most. That experience inspired me to become a therapist who helps others feel seen, supported, and empowered through life’s challenges.


I believe therapy should be a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can be your authentic self. My goal is to walk alongside you as you navigate challenges, discover your strengths, and create a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling.


Outside of my work, I’m a wife and a proud mom of three children. I enjoy spending time with my family exploring our community through outdoor activities, local events, concerts, and farmers markets. I also love traveling, experiencing different cultures, cooking, reading, and gardening.


I believe connection, curiosity, and finding joy in everyday moments are important parts of a balanced life, and those values guide both who I am and how I support my clients. If you’re ready to begin your therapy journey, I would be honored to walk alongside you.

Tracie Bernal

Therapist

Virtual • Mansfield, TX


I believe healing begins when people feel genuinely seen, heard, and supported. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I provide a compassionate, trauma-informed approach that combines evidence-based therapy with a genuine, collaborative relationship.

I work with teens, adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, stress, and family conflict. I also enjoy helping clients overcome people-pleasing, establish healthy boundaries, improve communication, and process difficult life experiences that continue to impact the present.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent 19 years working in public education, helping children, teens, and families navigate emotional challenges, strengthen communication, build resilience, and develop practical coping skills. That experience continues to shape my approach by meeting clients where they are and focusing on their unique strengths.

I am a bilingual English/Spanish Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Perinatal Mental Health Certified (PMH-C), and Infant Mental Health Endorsed (IMH-E®). I provide virtual therapy throughout Texas for children and teens ages 6–18, adults, and parents. I especially support individuals navigating ADHD and attention challenges, pregnancy and postpartum changes, infertility and fertility treatments, NICU experiences, parenting stress, anxiety, and major life transitions. My goal is to create a space where you can feel heard, understood, supported, and never judged. Sometimes therapy is about finding solutions and building new tools, and sometimes it is simply about having a safe place to talk, process, and feel supported.
