About Jacqueline Falls

My approach to counseling is straightforward. I believe focusing on setting goals and finding solutions. Counseling is not just what I do for a living but it is what I live to do. I received my Masters Degree in Guidance and Counseling from Texas Southern University in 1993. I have been licensed by the Texas State Board of Professional Counselors since 2001. There are times when couples or family sessions can get a little heated and require some other form of intervention along with counseling. At those times I rely on skills learned from the Dispute Resolution Center of Harris County where I received training to become a certified mediator.

On my road to private practice I have provided counseling to battered and homeless women at the Salvation Army Homeless Shelter for Women; abused children and their families through Children Protective Services and disaster victims through the Mental Health/Mental Retardation Authority of Harris County. While all of those experiences were rewarding in their own right; they were also very limiting in terms of my ability to provide the best possible service to my clients. So with no red tape or quota’s to fill in my own office space; I am free to offer limitless compassion and support to those in need of counseling.
