Jack accepts Aetna insurance

Jack sees individuals ages 3+, couples, and families

Meet Jack

Jack serves out of our Allen office as the location’s lead child and adolescent therapist. Jack holds a passion for helping children, teens, and their families become the best versions of themselves possible while offering support for whatever struggles they might face. It is no secret that life can often feel challenging and overwhelming; yet far too often the struggles of children and teenagers are overlooked or brushed aside. Regardless of how old you are, your problems deserve to be recognized—and you don’t have to struggle through them alone.

We all have unmet needs in our lives. Whether we are striving for connection with others, a desire to prove ourselves capable of greatness, or the courage to face life’s hardships, we all have aspects of our lives that cause us to struggle or feel inferior.

In his practice, Jack uses Adlerian Therapy techniques to establish an environment of unconditional trust and support so that he and his clients can identify their unmet needs and find more positive methods of addressing them in everyday life. Finally, Jack is a firm believer that the best results are achieved when parents and caregivers are involved in the process, working as equal partners to help the child meet their goals and become the healthiest version of themselves.

Jack is a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate in the state of Texas, having earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Kennesaw State University and a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Arkansas. He began his career as a clinical intern with Methodist Family Health, assisting children, teens, and families with navigating the stresses of anxiety, depression, ADHD, and Autism Spectrum Disorder. Jack is thrilled to be a part of the Lifeologie team and to extend his services to families in need.

Fun Facts

When not at the clinic, Jack is an unapologetic nerd at heart, possessing a deep love for superheroes, creative writing, and playing tabletop games with his closest friends. By far his most exciting story is of the time that he and his family were chased by a bear in the mountains of Colorado while he was in elementary school. It is his hope that there are no hard feelings, though the bear has made no comment on the matter thus far. For now, Jack has opted to call the matter a draw and declined all requests for a rematch thus far.

Heather does not accept insurance

Heather sees individuals ages 15+, couples, and families

Meet Heather

Heather’s passion is to come alongside individuals, couples, and families though the beautiful mess we call life. If you are wrestling with how you relate to yourself - shame, identity, anxiety, depression, or wrestling with how you relate to others - marital, parenting & co-parenting, family dynamics, communication - you don’t have to go it alone.

Heather is an avid believer that relationships provide a window to the heart of an individual like no other. Our closest relationships tend to reveal our most wounded places. Those hurts, if left unresolved, are carried forward and recast into our patterns of relating. All our experiences, but most particularly our pain, become the filter through which we sift and construct our view of self, our approach to life, our ability to trust, and our capacity to love and be loved.

Heather approaches counseling as a come-along-sider, offering a client-counselor relationship that pursues the depths of the client’s heart while simultaneously welcoming all that it finds there. Free from condemnation, judgment, and shame, she offers an environment which beckons one to draw close, discard their masks, and lay bare their scars. Believing authentic freedom requires us to face our pain rather than flee from it, she will lead you towards those wounded places to find Healing, Restoration, and Hope.

As a child, Heather grew up in an environment of addiction and generational divorce. Her life experiences, personal journey in counseling, and education have allowed her to develop a unique perspective of how our woundedness becomes the filter through which we sift and construct our belief systems. “Since our beliefs ultimately drive our emotional, behavioral, and cognitive responses, when we build our lives around distorted beliefs, we have sabotaged ourselves.”

As a mother of a blended family; two biological children, three step-children, and one child through an informal adoption, Heather has a passion for strengthening parent-child relationships, facilitating co-parent relationships, and enabling the voice of the young by helping parents see the world through the lens of their child.

Fun Facts

In her spare time, Heather enjoys spending time with family & friends, finding the next piece for her weird art collection, traveling, and all things science fiction. She believes in failed leaps over half steps, ugly laughing at her own jokes, living outside the box, owning her own failures, singing out loud at musicals, apologizing easily, and if it’s crazy, to live a little crazy.

Cindy accepts Aetna and Cigna

Cindy sees individuals ages 21+ and couples

Meet Cindy

Cindy is passionate about empowering adults on their journey towards mental and emotional well-being. She creates a safe, supportive environment where individuals can explore their thoughts and emotions more deeply to gain greater self-awareness, experience personal healing and develop resilience. She firmly believes that everyone has the potential to rewrite their story and experience a life filled with renewed purpose and joy.

Cindy grew up in Southern California where she went to undergrad and eventually went on to receive her doctorate in educational studies from Talbot Theological Seminary. She and her family relocated to Texas where she planned to utilize her skills and education in vocational ministry. It was during her own transformative counseling experience that Cindy’s life was radically changed. The impact was so profound that she felt compelled to make a mid-life career change and went back to school to pursue counseling.

Growing up in an immigrant family gives Cindy insight into the distinct challenges that people of color and children of immigrants may encounter. She has a deep understanding of the complexities and wounds that can emerge from one’s family of origin. Her childhood was marked by chaos and instability and under the weight of immense pressure to constantly prove her self-worth, she developed a pattern of relentless performance that ultimately led her down a path of exhaustion and burnout. This cycle of striving and pushing herself beyond her limits kept her trapped, unable to break free and fully embrace a life of fulfillment. Through the power of counseling, she confronted the deep-rooted issues that had held her captive for far too long and unraveled the layers of her past, gaining clarity and insight into the patterns that had shaped her life. Cindy emerged from counseling with a newfound sense of self-awareness, self-compassion, and the tools to navigate life’s challenges with resilience and authenticity.

Cindy’s personal encounter with the life-changing power of counseling fuels her commitment to helping individuals navigate their own journeys of self-discovery and healing.

Fun Facts

Alongside her husband, Peter, and their two daughters, the family shares a passion for two things that bring people together: good food and travel. In her free time, she expresses her creativity through the art of hand-lettering and crafting handmade cards. She starts every morning with a cup of coffee and at some point during the day she has watched TikTok videos and snuggled with her dog, Pixie.

This includes supporting parents as they balance the needs of the individual and family unit.

Getting to Know Courtney Courtney experienced a series of traumatic events that led to her eventual pursuit of becoming a counselor. On her 16th birthday, she suddenly lost her dad and shortly after, her brother was diagnosed with cancer, which was quickly followed by more death and trauma within the family. It was through those difficult experiences that prompted many questions and created a desire within her to help others, as a therapist once did for her.
