Hello, and welcome. I specialize in helping adults navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and women’s issues with compassion and practical support. As a retired music educator, I bring patience, creativity, and a unique perspective to therapy. Together, we can explore the challenges you are facing, better understand patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and identify meaningful steps toward healing and growth.
I believe therapy should feel supportive, collaborative, and grounded in your real life. In our sessions, I aim to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and encouraged to look at your situation in a new way. My goal is to help you build insight, confidence, and tools you can use outside of session.
Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, or simply ready for change, you do not have to work through it alone. I will work with you to find solutions that fit your needs and help you move forward with greater clarity. If you are ready to take the next step, I invite you to reach out and begin the process.
Hi! My name is Jalisa and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor from Garland, Texas serving clients in both Texas and Oregon. Fun facts about me: My favorite color is pink, I am a cat lover and I've known since I was in 3rd grade that I was meant to be a therapist . I love what i do, and i love people, it shows up in everything I bring into our work together.
I approach each client with a curious, open mind, and zero judgment. I recognize that everyone has a unique worldview shaped by their experiences, and I honor and respect that perspective. My hope is to create a space grounded in trust and connection, where we can explore your life and goals. Through honest, open communication, we can build a deeper relationship with ourselves and others.
I am a Master’s-level Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist with experience working with clients from diverse backgrounds across a wide range of settings, including a children’s psychiatric hospital and a maximum-security state prison. My work has focused on assessment, treatment planning, and connecting clients with the care that best fits their needs, while also providing therapy through a variety of trauma-informed approaches.
As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I view individuals within the context of the larger relationships, systems, and environments that shape their lives. I understand that challenges such as anger, fear, sadness, and overwhelming thoughts or emotions can deeply affect a person’s ability to function and feel at peace. My goal is to help clients better understand their experiences, build on their strengths, and regain the ability to thrive in their environment. I am open to working with adolescents ages 13 and older.
At Kelly Counseling and Consulting my mission is to offer compassionate counseling to help individuals confidently overcome life's challenges. I ensure a safe space for growth, offering care that fosters wellness and meaningful change, aiming for every client to feel valued and hopeful.
Life is full of challenges both big and small. My goal in therapy is to create a safe space for individuals and families to feel empowered to take on whatever life brings them, whether it seems too overwhelming to handle or too minor to matter. Anything that matters to you is worth talking about.
I use a variety of therapeutic models to help in my work, with connection being at the core. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, grief/loss, trauma, faith crisis/transition, couple/family conflict, and LGBTQIA+ issues. I enjoy working with teens and young adults, but am open to seeing clients of all ages and backgrounds.

Find the right therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Texas
Searching for therapists in Texas starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. Across a state as large and varied as Texas, therapy needs and available therapists can differ across urban, suburban, and rural areas. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or major life changes. Review each therapist’s listed specialties, approach, and experience to see whether their background matches your needs. Some therapists may use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, while others may focus on specific populations or concerns.
Location and format also matter when comparing Texas therapists. In larger areas like Houston, Dallas, and Austin, you may have many choices, while other parts of the state may have fewer local options. Some people prefer meeting in person, while others choose virtual sessions for scheduling flexibility or easier access from home. As you narrow your search, look at appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you understand how they describe their style, what sessions may feel like, and whether their communication approach fits your preferences.
The cost of therapy in Texas can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for Texas therapists who match your preferences, accept your insurance, and are ready to take new patients. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. From there, you can compare therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
