Jason Adams
My name is Jason Adams. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas, and a National Certified Counselor.

I primarily work with young adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, career issues, relationship and marriage problems, and other life challenges. I also work with couples and business professionals. My approach is to develop a relaxed, non-threatening, and non-clinical professional relationship with my clients.

I also have a bachelor's degree in corporate communication, which I utilize in my work with entrepreneurs and business professionals. My professional experience includes stints in business management and various sectors of the field of mental health, including working with mild to severe mental health issues, intellectual disabilities, foster and adoptive families, and victims of abuse.
