Find a therapist in Texas — covered by insurance

Hi, I’m Jennifer Hall and I’m a licensed professional counselor. I have been in private practice for four years. I have experience with depression, anxiety, grief, relationship issues, trauma and multiple other mental health areas. I received my masters degree from Texas A&M Corpus Christi.

You may be the person everyone counts on, but that does not mean you are built to carry everything alone

You deserve to feel human, not just functional. You can be competent, capable, and still need help. Those things aren't in conflict.

I work with busy professionals, exhausted parents, healthcare professionals, and LGBTQ+ individuals, who look "fine" but feel lonely, resentful, or stuck in survival mode. You want life to work without running on stress and guilt. Together we'll identify what's draining you and build practical boundaries, routines, and skills that calm your nervous system, protect your energy, and make daily life feel manageable and yours again.

You can verify your insurance in minutes and view my real-time availability directly through Headway — making it simple to get started.

I earned my Doctorate in Counselor Education from Sam Houston State University in 2015, following a Master’s Degree in Counseling from the University of Houston in 2003. My clinical specialty is working with young adults, adolescents, and families, with over five years of direct clinical experience.

In addition to my clinical work, I bring more than a decade of experience as a counselor educator at the university level. I also have over 20 years of experience in public education, including 13 years as a certified secondary school counselor. This diverse background allows me to support clients with a deep understanding of both academic and developmental challenges across the lifespan.

Together, we’ll navigate the highs and lows in a space that’s safe, supportive, and free of judgment. I believe healing and growth happen when you feel truly heard and understood. Just as pearls are shaped through pressure, our own resilience and beauty often emerge from life’s most difficult moments and I’m honored to walk beside you on that transformative journey.

Two decades of clinical excellence.

Dr. Cindy Ruelas-Tafolla's path to becoming a clinician began at age 13 with the sudden loss of her father — an experience that planted the seed of her life's purpose: to be the kind of support she needed during her own darkest moments.

She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Law and Society from UC Santa Barbara, her Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California, and her Doctorate in Social Work (DSW) from USC.

Over two decades, she has served as a Medical Social Worker, Case Manager, and Behavioral Health Therapist — bringing doctoral-level depth, board-certified credentials, and genuine compassion to every client she works with.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion, understanding, and evidence-based care. My experience includes providing outpatient psychiatric care across the lifespan as well as caring for older adults in assisted living and memory care settings, giving me a broad perspective on mental health across different stages of life. I specialize in treating anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, depression, bipolar disorder, and other mood-related conditions. I work with adolescents ages 13 and older, adults, and older adults who may be struggling with anxiety, emotional overwhelm, difficulties with focus, mood changes, or the effects of past trauma.

I'm here to help the hurting and struggling find peace and strength to come out stronger on the other side. Things come along in life that can build us up or tear us down. I want to help you grow through all the experiences. I want to join you in your struggles, help you through your pain, and provide support for you to make your way through the difficulties of life, relationships and this world.

Are you ready to commence your journey to healing, to discover your truth and breakthrough the mental barriers that have held you back from inner clarity and peace?

My goal is to foster a tranquil space not only where you are safe to share who you are but to facilitate the change you hope to see in yourself. My therapeutic orientation is diverse as each client is unique, with a strong cognitive-behavioral therapy base. Whether you are seeking counseling for individual, family, marriage or career related reasons, it is vital to allow the release of burdens, resolve conflicts or heal from present / past pain in order to obtain the reality you desire for yourself.
