EMERGO COUNSELING SERVICES OF TEXAS
Jennifer L.W. Colón, MA, LPC, ATR
ABOUT ME
Greetings!
I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Texas and am a registered art therapist with experience with children, adolescents, young adults, and their families. I have provided counseling and art therapy services to various community non-profit organizations and schools in the DFW area. I have worked with clients with a wide array of concerns including stress and anxiety, depression, family conflict, relationship issues, trauma, and anger management.
When I'm not providing counseling services through my private practice or at the school I work for, I love to make art, write, watch movies, spend time with my family, and read. I really enjoy nature and being outside (when Texas weather permits) and find it to be a great way to recharge my batteries.
My counseling style is relaxed and collaborative. I see my clients as the "driver" and myself as the "navigator" during the counseling process. I work with my clients to identify goals for treatment and action plans to help them reach their goals in a kind and compassionate manner. My approach blends strengths-based, cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, and art therapy methods. I customize how I approach my clients so that I best meet their needs. I also often give clients "homework" to extend what we have discussed/discovered in our sessions. This could be in the form of practicing a particular skill, a journal prompt, or an art activity. Reaching out for help with life's struggles takes a lot of courage. If you are ready to begin this journey, I am here to support, encourage, and guide you. I look forward to working with you!

In our sessions, you are in charge! Our session topics will be selected based on what you need and want out of counseling.
My goal is to provide you with a safe, nurturing environment to process difficult experiences, develop self-awareness, and help you learn and develop skills to help you manage what you are going through.
