Welcome! My name is Jocelyn Perkins, and I am here to help you. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (licensed in the states of Texas and Ohio), I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and work with a variety of issues. If you are struggling with life changes, feeling depressed, or just need a listening ear, I can help you learn coping skills and ways to handle stressful situations.

About Me

I earned my undergraduate degree from Virginia Tech, and completed my graduate work at University of Houston - Clear Lake. I interned at the VA Medical Center in Houston, working with veterans who suffered from chronic pain, and also those with severe mental health problems. I then worked at a community mental health center with clients who had a variety of diagnoses, such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and major depressive disorder.

If you have experienced a traumatic event...

Trauma can include assault, rape or attempted rape, abuse, car accidents, witnessing an attack, experiencing a life-threatening medical event, and more. If you feel like you can’t move on from the trauma, you might have Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Symptoms include unwanted memories of the event that keep popping up, nightmares, physical symptoms such as heart racing or palms sweating when reminded of the event, and feelings of fear, shame, or horror. If you are questioning whether you have PTSD, I can do a free evaluation to see if you qualify for this diagnosis. 

I treat PTSD using Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), which is an evidence based, highly effective treatment used by the VA, first responders, and sexual assault survivor centers around the world. It is a 12 session treatment that helps examine how the trauma has impacted you and get you “unstuck” from re-living the event.
