Therapists in Texas

With eight years of experience on the BetterHelp platform, six state licenses, and thousands of clients served, I know that it is not always easy to come to therapy and talk about difficult issues. While virtual/messaging based therapy may be a bit unfamiliar, I have extensive experience on this platform. Over the past eight years I have developed a very high degree of comfort and confidence in my ability to deliver high quality clinical services to my clients. I am here to help you with whatever life has thrown your way, and I am in this journey to self-improvement with you. Additionally, I want to teach you the skills I use to work through these problems so that you will come away from therapy with a better understanding of yourself, and how to independently work through your issues in the future. I am direct, goal driven, and results oriented. I specialize in relationship issues, couples, stress and anxiety management, anger/aggression management, depression and bipolar, and LBGT issues. For any new client wishing to have their intake session, I can accommodate that within 48 hours. My passion is helping people, and I would be happy to help you. https://www.facebook.com/Jay-Swedlaw-MSEdS-LPC-LMHC-971275126239636/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/jay-swedlaw-b61618bb/

I am licensed in Texas with 3 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with a range of issues, such as trauma, PTSD, sexual assault, domestic violence, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, stress, relationships with both self and others, coping skills, and self-esteem. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Most pain that we experience as humans, is pain that we experience alone, even when surrounded by people/loved ones. We don't want to burden anyone, or they don't understand.
