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.

You've already taken the first brave step in your journey to healing. My areas of specialization are life transitions, trauma, depression, and anxiety. I practice from a whole person perspective and am certified in ketamine assisted psychotherapy.

My clients may find that they are struggling with trusting themselves or others in relationships, have difficulty feeling safe or confident in their own body, and/or some have past difficult/confusing/traumatic events that can make them feel stuck. I specialize in helping teens, adults, and families with Anxiety, Panic Disorder, OCD, Trauma, Eating Disorders, Depression, Adjustments, Life Stressors, and Grief and Loss.

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.

Hello, I'm Alexis, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Texas, with 4 years of experience in social work, specifically in pediatrics. I have worked in case management and crisis intervention with children and adolescents. I obtained a Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Texas at Arlington and a Bachelor degree in Psychology from Capella University. I have gained valuable expertise working in pediatric and behavioral health hospital settings in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. I obtained my Licensed Master Social Work (LMSW) in the Spring of 2022. I earned my Clinical Social Work License in the winter of 2025 and consider myself to be a dedicated Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I have been practicing child-centered play therapy for one year under supervision and have seen the transformative power of play. In my free time, I commit my time to the local community by volunteering with initiatives such as Cowtown Clean-up, Tarrant Area Food Bank, and Catholic Charities Diocese of Fort Worth, Texas.

I believe therapy is most effective when you feel genuinely seen, understood, and supported. My goal is to create a space where you can be yourself without fear of judgment while also challenging patterns that may no longer serve you. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, burnout, attachment wounds, difficulty setting boundaries, and the lasting impact of childhood experiences. Together, we'll explore how these patterns developed, strengthen your self-understanding, and build practical skills that support meaningful, lasting change.
