Jinan Amra
I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the States of Florida and Texas. I graduated in 2009 from Nova Southeastern University in Florida. I speak English, Spanish and Arabic. I maintain a general practice working mainly with adults. I identify myself as a brief systemic solution oriented therapist. As a professional, I am intensely interested in a lifelong learning and continuing to master the healing arts of therapy. I am curious about people and their stories, their strengths , their struggles and their resources. My strength as a therapist is in being empathetic and intuitively sensitive to my client's needs. My treatment philosophy is that I find each person and each situation different. I believe that people have internal resources that are available to help bring about a successful resolution to life's challenges. I approach my clients with warmth and a non-judgmental style. I work collaboratively with my clients to understand their unique qualities and concerns. Together, we discuss goals and needs and develop plans accordingly. I believe in your capacity for change, even when the way through feels uncertain. As you embark on this transformative journey, you'll realize that your struggles do not define you. There are countless paths to living the life you've always dreamt of, and I am here to guide you every step of the way.

Jahn Quattlebaum
I have come to counseling a little bit later in life than some; I had already completed a successful career and was looking for something different. I completed graduate school in Texas and have since become licensed in both Texas and Colorado. The majority of my work is in general counseling and I also work with couples and families. I have worked for University of Texas schools as well as for the University of Alabama. While working in the UT system schools I helped with veterans issues and transition. During Covid I provided counseling for military families and have provided counseling with agencies contracted to provide those services.
Molly Rafferty
I am a licensed professional counselor in Texas with over 30 years of experience working as a counselor in a variety of settings. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, grief, and adjusting to transitions in life. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. I am trained in equine assisted psychotherapy (EAP) and while we will not have the luxury of having horses in the session, I can incorporate many of those principles in a telehealth session. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines trauma-informed, somatic, and attachment styles to promote growth and healing. I believe that we heal through reparative, relational experiences. I incorporate neurobiology in the sessions and discuss how the brain is affected when we experience trauma at an early age or later in life. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage and I am here to support you in that process. My Evening and standing appointments are done via zoom, are 60 minutes and are reserved for clients that are self-pay or utilizing their insurance. I accept some appointments via the BetterHelp calendar but BetterHelp sessions are limited to 45 minutes which essentially is 40 minutes of therapy. This is a limiting factor of the site; I am not paid for engaging with clients for longer than 45 minutes so it is important to come to these sessions prepared as our time here is somewhat limited. You do not have to go through this journey of life alone. Allow me to meet you where you are at and help be your guide in this amazing journey called life. Together we will find healing through proven models of treatment that I am formally trained in and have practiced for many years. I accept insurance as well and generally reserve later appointment openings for zoom calls and clients that prefer to utilize their insurance.
