Hi. I am Camilla Jackson. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist which simply means I have a unique way of looking at your situation. I see individuals, couples, and families and I believe we are all a product of our family - both where we grew up and our family today.
My approach
My counseling style is relaxed but very direct. I prefer for clients to come to counseling weary of how things are going and prepared to begin changing their lives. I practice solution-oriented counseling, CBT, and strength-based counseling techniques which means that we work hard to ensure you come to as few sessions as possible. Many clients report that 6 to 10 sessions are sufficient to provide mastery over the symptoms that brought them to therapy.
My focus
I've been practicing in Texas since 1995. I've had the opportunity to work successfully with many different types of clients. I am experienced with depression and bipolar disorder. Anxiety addiction, and adjustment disorders are quite common. I enjoy working with couples or with several family members in the counseling session.
My communication style
As stated earlier, I am direct, but I see my job to relieve anxiety, not to cause it. My goal is not to overwhelm you, but to enhance your ability to accurately evaluate the quality of your participation in relationships. Where Improvement is needed, we work together to find a solution that feels natural to you.
My journey to mental healthcare
I always knew I would be a therapist. It was natural for me to choose psychology as my major at the University of St Thomas. Afterwards, I wanted to have the best training I could afford and I was thrilled when I discovered that the University of Houston, Clearlake campus had great reviews. I received my master's in marriage and family therapy in 1995. Over the years I've had the opportunity to work successfully with many different types of clients and I hope to continue seeing clients for years to come.
My goals for you
My style is collaborative. Goals will not work if they do not feel natural to your personality, your habits, and your style of communication.
My first session with you
After your first session, you will have a much clearer understanding of the work that will be required to master the symptoms that caused you to contact a therapist and a rough idea of the projected length of time that will be necessary to achieve your goals. Of course, everyone works at their own pace and with their own skill set so length of service is approximate, but you are in the driver's seat. You will participate in each step along the way
