Hi! I’m Jennifer Wilson. I’ve been a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) for over 15 years. I received my Bachelor’s in Psychology and Master’s in Social Work from The University of Texas at Austin.
I believe the heart of effective therapy is a genuine human connection. I am Gottman and EMDR trained and have certifications in several other modalities, but above technique, I believe in safe, authentic and agile connection to find healing.
Welcome. I’m glad you’re here.
Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming. I aim to create a safe, collaborative, and grounded space from the beginning. I meet clients where they are and move at a pace that feels manageable and respectful.
I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, trauma, addiction, and relationship challenges. I also specialize in complex and developmental trauma.
I support clients in integrating their spiritual and cultural values into therapy when desired and clinically appropriate. I was born in New Orleans and bring a culturally informed perspective shaped by my Latina, Indigenous, Christian, and Sephardic Jewish backgrounds.
I became a therapist because I have a deep commitment to helping people recognize and build their own strengths, especially during periods of feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. I understand that seeking support takes courage, and I work to create a space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported throughout the process.
I earned a Master of Social Work (MSW) and PhD from Tulane University, as well as a Master of Public Health (MPH) from Tulane University’s School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Louisiana and Texas, and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Minnesota. I also hold a Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC), Licensed Prevention Professional (LPP), and Certified Employee Assistance Professional (CEAP).
I’m direct, supportive, and collaborative.
I’m Gen X, which tends to resonate with clients who appreciate a straightforward, no-nonsense approach grounded in real-world experience.
I’m also a counselor who is a Christian—but not a “Christian counselor.”
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 17 years of combined experience in education and counseling, dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families find healing and clarity. Through my practice, Protecting Your Peace Christian Counseling, I provide a safe and supportive space rooted in Christian values while welcoming clients from all backgrounds. I specialize in areas such as relationships, family dynamics, trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. My goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and equipped with practical tools to move forward with confidence and peace.
Looking for someone who will truly listen? I believe everyone needs support, and I strive to be that steady presence in therapy. Clients often describe me as warm, open-minded, and easy to talk to. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and comfortable being yourself.
Hi, I’m Mariam Opafunso, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Ohio University and have experience working in both inpatient and outpatient behavioral health settings. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and other mood-related concerns, as well as eating-related conditions in adolescents and adults.
Outside of my professional role, I value balance and growth, and I show up fully for the people I serve. I understand that seeking help can feel overwhelming, and I create a space where you feel comfortable, respected, and truly heard.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Pasadena, TX
Finding couples therapists in Pasadena starts with knowing what you and your partner want to work on. Couples therapy may focus on communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life transitions, or parenting disagreements. Since not all therapists have training in couples work, look for a licensed marriage and family therapist, or a therapist who lists couples-focused approaches like the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy in their bio.
In a smaller market like Pasadena, local couples therapy options may be more limited than in nearby Houston, so virtual appointments can help expand your search. It also helps to choose a therapist whose schedule works for both partners, whether you need daytime, evening, or virtual availability. Before booking, read each therapist’s profile for details on session structure, communication style, and whether they offer a brief initial consultation to help you assess fit together.
Couples therapy in Pasadena can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps you check coverage before you book. You can compare therapists who are accepting new patients, review estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
