Jaclyn Contreras, LPC
Hi there and welcome! I’m Jaclyn Contreras, and sometimes we need support from an unbiased professional. Whether it’s your first time in counseling or your coming back to refresh or process something new, we can work together to reach your goals. It is important to me to support anyone who needs a safe non-judgmental space to share and process.
My Qualifications & Philosophies
As a 1st/ 2nd generation latina I bring perspective to those of us who live in the hyphen and can find it difficult to understand what it means to be both Latino & American all at the same time. I have been practicing since 2018 and understand that not only culture, but our family structures influence our way of being & handling different scenarios. My goal is to help you understand these structures and help either maintain them if they serve value in our life or how to deconstruct the narratives that no longer serve their purpose in our life.
I attended the University of North Texas and graduated with a B.S. in Integrative Studies focusing on Psychology, Behavior Analysis, and Development & Family Studies in 2015. I then went on to Southern Methodist University and completed my masters of mental health in 2018. I have worked in a variety of spaces from non-profits to schools and private practices. In December of 2022 I completed my EMDR training and utilize EMDR to help reprocess and desensitize the nervous system to trauma and negative cognitions we as people have gathered as we grow and experience the world around us.

Questions for Jacyln
-
With a firm belief in the uniqueness of each individual, I understand that no single theoretical approach can fully encapsulate the rich tapestry of human experiences throughout life. Drawing from a diverse range of treatment methods, I tailor my approach to create effective treatment plans for each person. I strive to provide a safe, supportive, and healing environment where the therapeutic relationship can flourish. This environment is characterized by collaboration, trust, respect, genuineness, and a holistic understanding of my clients, their backgrounds, and the world they inhabit, fostering a personalized and comprehensive approach to healing and growth.
My major focus are humanistic treatment systems, such as client-centered, existential, gestalt, and emotion-focused therapy, is a testament to my commitment to a holistic and positive approach to therapy. Humanistic treatment systems indeed emphasize the innate goodness in each person and the importance of viewing individuals as a whole. Recognizing the self-actualization tendency in every individual highlights the potential for growth and personal development. Additionally, the emphasis on free will and the ability to make choices, coupled with the recognition of responsibility for those choices, is a fundamental aspect of humanistic therapy that empowers clients to take an active role in their own well-being and personal growth. My approach reflects a deep understanding of the human experience and a commitment to fostering positive change in my clients.
