Counselor / Psychotherapist

I specialize in helping individuals with life transitions, anxiety, depression, trauma, personal and spiritual growth.

As a Heart-Centered psychotherapist, I view each individual’s journey through a lens of compassion, curiosity, and acceptance.

I love helping people cultivate a deeper, kinder, more supportive relationship with themselves and helping to shift conditioning and beliefs around this being “overindulgent” and/or “selfish.”

Using an Integrative Approach, I make room for all parts of our humanness, physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual. I work from an attachment-based, and trauma-informed foundation and draw on several therapeutic methods to assist with building tools and resources that are supportive, insight-oriented and focused on creating deep, lasting change. Primary therapeutic methods I draw from are:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Inner child/reparenting work
• Internal Parts work
• Neurobiology
• Mindfulness practices
• Somatic awareness
• Depth oriented therapy
• Existential inquiry
• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

I consider each person’s unique life experiences, worldview and nervous system while exploring and connecting with the resilience, gifts, and truth that lie within their own body and brain. The choice to seek psychotherapy can be a journey in and of itself – it takes courage and strength to ask for support. I’m continuously awed and inspired by my client’s courage, vulnerability, and resilience. Embarking on the journey to be seen, look within, let go of the past, heal and grow, with time, opens more space within our bodies and minds to connect with our true selves and experiences of connectedness, joy, peace, clarity, ease and well being.

I work with clients throughout the state of TX and currently offer in-person and virtual sessions. You can learn more about me and my practice at JenniferPaap.com

Holistic Psychotherapist

Specializes in helping Women who do a lot of caregiving professionally and/or at home, who are moving through their own big life transitions and personal stress.

“You’re doing all the right things and taking care of the people that need you. You’re also trying to take care of yourself the best you can, but it doesn’t seem to be enough. Maybe you’re going through some big life changes or maybe an underlying anxiety that has always been there is getting harder to hide. You don’t need someone to fix you, but you may need some space to BE you.

I’ve been supporting women through all kinds of life transitions for over 20 years. In addition to mindfulness-based counseling, I incorporate hypnotherapy, mind-body practice, meditation, movement, and/or traditional healing tools as needed. I work mostly with women who do a lot of caring for others, whether in their professional life or at home. If you are facing the beginning or ending of something important, trying to balance your own needs with everyone else’s, or dealing with a relentless inner critic, my work is to help you find your way back to your own heart, your own center, and your own strength.
