Have you struggled as long as you remember to be what you were supposed to be instead of who you? Are you constantly comparing yourself to others? Did you grow up never being quite enough or affected by being a survivor of neglect or abuse? Changing family patterns takes effort, felt safety, and usually good trauma therapy with someone who takes the time to understand you, what you have been through, and helps you connect to your inner powerful self.
My therapy style is warm, supportive, and always sees you as a person not just a set of problems. I get to know you and make a plan designed just for you to help you heal, stop judging yourself, set better boundaries, and feel powerful again.
If anxiety is trapping you in overthinking, people pleasing, and putting yourself last … Are you ready to break free?
Jessie Tirrell LCSW-S –
Warm, Empowering, Gentle
Choose today as the day you start moving forward! Every day spent suffering is too long. Many people feel nervous about beginning therapy, but I provide a warm, non-judgmental space where we can explore your thoughts and feelings together. Trauma therapy doesn’t have to be intimidating—you are the hero of your story, and I’m here to guide you. You set the pace, and I’ll walk alongside you on this journey to healing. Let’s take that first step together!
Anxiety wants to rewrite your life, I help you take back the pen
When you are anxious the world feels too big, too filled with what ifs, and overwhelming. Some anxiety people are born with and have to learn how to manage. But it can also come from developmental trauma. If you constantly over think, are consumed with woulda, coulda, shoulda thoughts, and can’t find a way to soothe your distressing thoughts it’s time to find a way through.
I work with you where you are whether that means working on calming tools for right now, role playing conversations with your partner, talking more positively to yourself, or diving deeply into patterns from your childhood that are hard to change until you understand them. Your therapy plan is personalized just for you with my 20 years of experience in treating anxiety in all its forms.
Imagine a life where you have the tools to go after your dreams. Imagine when panic was just a memory. It’s all possible.
If anxiety makes you stay up at night, avoid your friends, and family, or feel like you are just not good enough, it’s time to get help. Everyone gets anxious sometimes, but when anxiety is controlling your life it’s a slippery slope before you don’t feel like you anymore. In therapy we will design a plan for you so that you have the right mix of talk therapy, skills training, trauma work, positive affirmations, and gentle questioning to help you explore how you can cope better with your anxious thoughts.
Trauma Therapy
There are many kinds of trauma but they can all stop our progress. Having a trauma informed therapist can be the difference in feeling safe enough to explore your past and your future and staying stuck in the loops that brought you there. I honor your personal power and will never push you do share more than you are ready to. You are always in the driver’s seat and I am prepared to help you pick a treatment plan that makes sense to you.
Because I am trained in many different ways of treating trauma after getting to know you I will talk with you about your options and help you make the plan that fits you best. If you need to know the why of what happens in therapy I would love to talk with you about the neuroscience of trauma and evidence based practices that are grounded in research and best practices.
Are you wondering if you are strong enough for the path forward? You are but trauma can keep us stuck on a loop. Everyone needs a guide on new paths. Let’s work using safe and gentle trauma therapy techniques together so that your paths lead somewhere great.
With good trauma therapy hope can be found in the dark places
Trauma can make us feel locked away from our dreams, our family, friends, and the path forward to our best selves. As an EMDR trained TBRI practitioner and trauma specialist I am ready to walk the path with you so that you can heal and connect again.
Healing as a family? I know the power of parent child connection. As a TBRI practitioner I am honored to help you make a trauma informed environment at home, co-regulate, and teach your child that pain is a point on the journey, not the destination.

Be a part of your child’s therapy
Stay connected to the people who need you most. Trauma therapy with children is best accomplished by getting a good history and partnering with parents. While I always connect with the children I see I take time with their parents too.
Frequently Asked Questions
How qualified of a trauma therapist are you?
I have been a full time therapist for 20 years. I have trained with prominent psychiatrists, therapists, major hospitals, TCU, and the Yale Reach Institute. This has given me certifications in many different ways of doing therapy and experience with people who have complex trauma, multiple diagnoses, and need an experienced and gentle touch.
I am able to make detailed and personalized treatment plans that fit you, not just a symptom. My clients are very important to me and I will always treat you with the utmost care and attention. I blend strong clinical skills with a genuinely empathetic and warm approach. Because I am an independent practice you will not be changing clinicians every few months and my standards of quality care will always be upheld.
How Do You Treat Children?
Treating children starts by involving their parent. I will ask you questions about your child and your family better understand what is happening in the world and set goals. Depending on the age of your child I may use games as a way to make them comfortable while we talk, may use art therapy techniques to communicate, or use play as a language to express themselves and rehearse different ways of understanding the world and coping with challenges. I will always involve you in their care and discuss ways to support their learning and growth at home. Generally, the younger the child the more play techniques I will use.
Is virtual therapy secure?
I prioritize your privacy and security. I use HIPAA-compliant platforms for video conferences and secure messaging. Rest assured, all your therapy sessions are private. Your personal information will be safeguarded and you can receive care wherever you are in Texas. Please see my notice of privacy practices for more information.
How will you know how to help me?
At the start of our therapeutic journey, we’ll conduct a thorough initial evaluation. During this session, we’ll discuss your symptoms, strengths, goals, and your preferred communication styles. Together, we’ll craft a treatment plan drawing from my extensive 20 years of experience in addressing similar challenges and utilizing evidence-based practices. Our collaborative approach ensures that your therapy is tailored to your unique needs. I offer therapy for anxiety, stress, and trauma but also have experience with several other disorders.
How can I use my insurance?
I am in network with several plans including Cigna, Aetna, Optum, United and others and will submit billing for you. If you are private paying can get a superbill to submit to your insurance to access out of network benefits or use Thrizer which helps with out of network billing. Check your insurance plan to see what percentage they pay for out of network visits.
What if I have been in therapy before?
We can start with what has worked for you already and build from there. If you have struggled to find help in therapy before you might need something different than what you have done before. I have a flexible style and am able to adapt therapy for theories and practices that work best for you. Because I am cross trained in short and long term therapies I am able to offer you new options.
Can you prescribe medication?
I cannot prescribe medication but can refer you to a physician if you would like this. Trauma therapy is often most effective when paired with appropriate medication. I am used to working closely with psychiatrists and can help you decide if it is time to make a referral to a physician for medication management.
Are you looking for clinical supervision?
I am an LCSW-S and offer group and individual supervision to obtain your LCSW. I have 20 years of experience in inpatient, partial hospitalization, and outpatient treatment. Group therapy is one of my specialties so if you would like to learn new tools for groups I am the supervisor for you!
