Jennifer Torres, M.Ed
Licensed Professional Counselor
Offering Telehealth Appointments Only
My name is Jennifer Torres and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who has worked in both the public and private school system for 10 years. I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies (Education) from the University of the Incarnate Word and my Master’s Degree from the University of Texas at San Antonio in School Counseling. While all of my experience has been working with children, adolescence and their families as a professional school counselor, I am looking forward to expanding my reach to the private practice sector.
My techniques used in session are a blend of Person-Centered Therapy, Reality Therapy and Brief Solution-Focused Therapy directly tied to the need of each client. I have experience working with a variety of challenges such as ADHD, adjustment disorder, anxiety disorders, depression, grief, mood disorders and suicidal ideation.
My philosophy in counseling is to meet people where they are in their healing journey. Therapy is a journey; some seasons will require more work with a lot to unpack and some seasons will be steady but my true passion is helping cultivate a sense of lifelong wellness, to inspire growth and empower change that helps each individual reach their personal goals. I truly value working with each individual and believe everyone deserves an opportunity to refocus, realign or rebuild despite the struggles they are facing in their lives.
I look forward to meeting with you and providing a therapeutic environment that allows you to feel safe, happy and free.
