Jason Adams
My name is Jason Adams. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas, and a National Certified Counselor. I have over a decade of experience in the field of mental health and currently operate a private counseling practice in Keller, Texas. 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 recognize that the first step to a better life is often the most difficult. I help my clients with that first step and the path that follows. Together, we develop individualized strategies that produce results and lead to a more fulfilling life. I completed my master's degree in counseling at Dallas Baptist University. 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. More recently, I've concentrated my counseling practice on dealing with the common, yet significant, challenges that life inevitably brings. If you are searching for direction, contentment, or need help getting past an obstacle in your personal or professional life, I would welcome the opportunity to assist you.

You're here! Right here, right now! You may not be there yet, but you have already taken a step towards facing challenges with a strength you never knew you had. Besides, it doesn't hurt to get a little assistance on the way. I'm here to help you. Let me tell you something. Nothing is as remarkable as seeing positive change in my client! Helping you make even the smallest steps towards your goal every day brings me joy and I like to do these silly dances when I've noticed your progress. Even when they seem too small to notice, I'll notice! I can even tell a corny joke or two. You’ll be surprised how much a little positivity can help. I have been a counselor for almost a decade. I am a licensed professional counselor and a certified rehabilitation counselor with additional experience in helping individuals get back to work to attain the highest success possible after experiencing any life changing issues. I have helped people with almost everything you can think of. I have helped those with severe mental health concerns and those with mild ones. I have multicultural experience and have lived in and visited many different countries (experience does help!). I've learned a lot about cultural differences and appreciations. I respect the variation that we have as humans. I understand that there are times when struggles and challenges approach us and we need a little extra boost to help us work through it. I am here to help! When I counsel, my style is energetic, compassionate, and supportive. I praise your progressions, and I can show you how to be proud of your efforts and steps in the right direction. I am client-centered and I want to listen to you and be as helpful as is humanly possible. I am a firm believer in positive psychology, as I love highlighting your strengths! I love to empower my clients. I can't wait to meet you!

I understand what it feels like to experience anxiety, sadness, grief/loss, work stress, negative rumination, and role- overload. I have benefited greatly from counseling myself. It takes courage to pursue change; disrupt negative cycles; learn to respond and stop reacting; learn to communicate effectively; heal from trauma; heal from abuse; disrupt co-dependency patterns and dysfunctional relationship dynamics; just to name a few of life's tumultuous experiences. First, I applaud you for taking this courageous step to wholeness, you are seeking change and self-discovery. Hope is the "antidote." If you are looking for a safe space to begin a journey of discovery, change, growth, or healing, you have come to the right place. I pride myself on being empathetic and an active listener. I hold a doctorate, bachelor's, and master's degree. I have over twenty years of clinical counseling. Although I am certified in CBT cognitive behavior therapy, I pride myself on being eclectic, because I know that each client is unique. I also enjoy using a holistic approach to wellness. I am here to support and empower you in your journey and pursuit of change. I have extensive experience helping clients struggling with: depression; anxiety; OCD; Bipolar; stress; excessive worrying- negative rumination; relaxation difficulties; role overload; and communication difficulties (e.g. active listening skills, seeking clarity, getting an understanding; addressing mental filtering; and mind reading); and improving interactions with others.
