JACKIE WILLISTON, MA, LPC, LCDC

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor in the State of Texas. I earned my Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology at Texas Woman’s University. My training and experience have been focused on providing trauma informed care. I have worked primarily with active duty and veteran members of the military, first responders, and survivors of sexual violence and intimate partner violence. I have experience working with combat trauma, moral injury, sexual trauma, and religious trauma. I strongly believe in client autonomy and our ability to heal and grow.

I practice from a Feminist Multicultural lens, working with clients to develop a treatment plan that feels safe and can meet them where they are. I often incorporate Person-Centered Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into my approach. I am also trained in Somatic and Attachment Focused Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Prolonged Exposure (PE).

I am also an LGBTQ+ affirming sex therapist currently pursuing my PhD in Clinical Sexology. I am trained to work with individuals, couples, and polycules to help navigate sex and sexuality. Some areas of focus are kink, ethical non-monogamy, variance in desire, and reclaiming sex after trauma.

I view therapy as a road we travel together and am deeply honored to be able to accompany people on their journey.
