Kathleen Jenkins is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Houston, Texas, who enjoys working with adults and couples desiring to gain a sense of control over their lives. Many of Kathleen’s clients come in when they’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and experiencing difficulties in their relationships. Kathleen is particularly sensitive to clients who had a difficult childhood and are seeking life change, growth, and healing from the trauma in their past.

Kathleen uses an eclectic, trauma-informed approach to support clients in their journey of self-discovery and healing. She believes that each person’s path to growth is unique, and she works collaboratively with clients to help them understand their emotions, gain self-agency, and build confidence in navigating life's challenges.

Kathleen’s therapeutic style is collaborative, compassionate, and focused on self-discovery. In sessions, she listens deeply to each client’s experiences, exploring the root causes of anxiety, negative patterns, and relationship struggles. Through this process, clients gain a better understanding of their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, empowering them to make informed choices and build confidence in themselves and their relationships.

As a trauma-informed therapist, Kathleen creates a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their personal narratives and begin to heal from past wounds. She tailors her approach to each individual’s goals and needs, respecting the unique nature of their journey. Whether clients are dealing with anxiety, relationship issues, or past trauma, Kathleen is committed to helping them feel seen, heard, and supported.
