Psychotherapists - Licensed or Registered

My name is Joyce Miles Jacquote. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC). I hold licensures in both Texas and Utah. My practice is completely virtual to serve you better where you are! I serve individuals ages 13 years old and up. I am skilled in providing individual counseling, relationship counseling, and family counseling. While I serve individuals from all walks of life, I am especially skilled in serving the Black/Brown community and the LGBTQ+ community.

I believe everyone has their own story to tell and therapy helps them to tell their story in a healthier and more effective manner. My role as a therapist is to help you identify in what way your story is currently not serving you. Then I work with you to develop the skills and tools you need to change your story in the manner you want. If your story includes a history of alcohol or substance use and you would like to reduce and or eliminate that use, I can work with you to do so as well.

I accept insurance in Texas, please reach out to learn which insurances are accepted at this time. I do not accept insurance currently in Utah but hope to do so in the future. For my individuals who may be concerned about the cost of therapy, I offer a few spots for those who would benefit from sliding scale payment.

Are you stuck with a dark feeling that you just can’t shake? Maybe feeling isolated, alone? Scared to make a choice, but painfully aware that something needs to change? Has something recently happened that shook you to your core? Or are you realizing (like we all do) that old “stuff” is lingering in your life - and you really don’t know what to do about it? The dawn is coming, my friend. Through creative arts, reflection, mind-body experience, practical skills, & knowledge of trauma recovery, Joy will walk you through the stages of healing.

What to expect: Joy is a straight-forward therapist, who respectfully & skillfully supports and challenges you towards new perspectives. She will guide you on your journey to overcome stuckness & pain with humor & a little dose of reality & a whole lot of creativity. She is passionate about Personal Growth and helping others realize the ability they already have within themselves to make it through difficult times, survive and even thrive! Her accepting and non-judgmental approach allows clients to quickly build comfort in sessions. Using expressive tools to cope plus exploring core concerns that are a barrier to a balanced, authentic, healthy life is an effective treatment and can be adapted to any client’s needs. mNo stranger to surprises that take your breath away and suffering, she connects to anyone on the arduous journey of self-exploration, healing & ultimately hope.

As a proud second-generation Latinx person, I understand the importance of respecting your unique intersectionality and the desperate need to decolonize psychotherapy. Therefore, I offer a space for you to safely explore cognitive and relationship patterns with a well-trained, empathic, affirming person of color. I may be a person of color trained in some of the top educational institutions, but I have never lost sight of the complex challenges we have and continue to face daily in our society. Together, we can explore the beauty and power of the unique intersectionality we each experience. So, contact me, and we can discuss the next steps.

I look forward to speaking.

Counseling for wellness, life stage and lifestyle issues, personal growth and awareness. Couples, individuals, "families" as you define them. Kink and alternative lifestyle aware and friendly professional. Eclectic, transpersonal, and person centered approach, working with what works best for you.

I specialize in trauma informed treatment of adverse life experiences and guiding clients to communicate their needs and develop healthier coping skills. I help clients gain a deeper connection to themselves and others. I use creative arts therapy exercises to supplement verbal psychotherapy to engage the subconscious and creative side of clients. I also specialize in using Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy and Integration therapy as an intervention for chronic depression, anxiety and PTSD.

I speak English, Spanish.

I am a board certified sexologist with a master’s degree in human sexuality and an associate in sex education. The focus of my clinical sexology and sex coaching practice is on healthy and pleasurable sexuality. I welcome and am experienced in working with individuals and couples in nontraditional relationships. - Does phone consultation

Hello and Welcome! Many people experience shame or discomfort in their relationships, preferences, sexuality or orientation. I enjoy helping individuals and couples who may be struggling in these areas. I also enjoy working with clients who are gender diverse, are thinking about or currently transitioning, and so forth. I have a Sex Therapy Certification through the Sexual Health Alliance, and I tend to utilize integrative approaches with clients. Being able to draw from multiple techniques and modalities lets me cater treatment to each individual client’s unique needs. I graduated from Capella with a Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and have also attended human trafficking training.

It has been a dream of mine to become a therapist since I was about 11 years old. I have lived in Austin for almost my entire life. Sexual health discussions have never made me uncomfortable in any way, and I like to provide a safe space for clients to discuss these topics.

I am a somatic psychotherapist in practice part-time in Hillsborough, NC and via telehealth. My great professional love is Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy, which I teach as a trainer for Hakomi Institute in the US, Europe, and worldwide via ZOOM. I am passionate about helping people gently and mindfully explore who and how they are in their lives through accessing the body’s wisdom.

As both a member and ally of the polyamorous community, I am familiar with the intricacies of navigating and exploring this relationship style. I am a licensed clinical social worker practicing psychotherapy through a lens of sex positivity, in addition to being kink informed and familiar with other alternative communities. I am passionate about guiding individuals and couples on a journey to discover their own unique expression, and the way in which that presents in their daily life. We carry with us stories and patterns that have likely served us in the past, but may no longer serve us. This can exacerbate symptoms of anxiety, depression or other mental health symptoms. Exploring and recognizing, with gentleness, how these patterns have become detrimental, gives us the freedom to choose what themes we insert in our life, and what we no longer have space for.

I take a collaborative approach, giving respect to your autonomy and your choices. We will work on identifying sustainable goals together, restoring your resiliency, and honoring your strengths. I offer traditional talk therapy for individuals, families and couples, including folks who identify as poly, kink, and LGBTQ. My focus is on attachment, relational influences and creative expression. I also offer complementary practices such as Reiki and meditation exercises to gain better understanding and control over the physical effects of emotions. The best way to reach me is via email.

I have experience working with gender, relational, and sexually diverse individuals and am knowledgeable about sexual health and wellness topics. I work with individuals, couples, and consenting non-monogamy-poly relationships. I have a background in working with adolescents and primarily work with adults. I believe in starting wherever the client, couple, or family unit is and enjoy working with the overlapping identities and orientations we carry into the different parts of our lives.

I work from an open and non-judgemental framework where I have an understanding of the challenges and unique aspects that come with being a part of these communities. I often use cognitive behavior therapy and psychodynamic therapy to improve mood and increase happiness by instilling awareness and identifying unwanted thoughts and behaviors, as well as, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing along with Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to eliminate relational and intimate distress.

Overall, I can address a broad range of topics from depression and anxiety to relational and intimacy challenges. Wherever you are on your journey, I would be honored to be your guide to a healthier, happier you.

Partners, parents, teens, POC, and LGBTQ folks are all welcomed. I focus extensively on psychotherapy and treating emotional and mental suffering in people without pharmaceuticals. People of color, women, trans, non-binary folks, lgbt communities where mental health was more stigmatized can benefit from a space to center your mental health and drop stigma.

If you have questions about any technical terms or generally things like “what’s the difference between psychotherapy and psychiatry?” feel free to bring it up during our phone consultation. Looking forward to hearing from you.

We've all gone through rough times and felt like we wanted help. Unfortunately, the people in our lives often do not seem to know how to help us feel better. Counseling can be a way to find the support and help you need to improve your life. We will focus on understanding what is causing your struggles and helping you identify ways to create change and happiness.

Searching for a counselor can be overwhelming, especially when you are already dealing with depression, anxiety, or other struggles. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you have about working with me, or about counseling in general.

I am a psychotherapist who does individual therapy and couples therapy

My approach to therapy draws upon feminist, narrative, DBT, solution-focused, mindfulness, sex, multicultural, person-centered, CBT, somatic, and IFS-related modalities. I take advantage of these approaches and more to make sure we can employ any tool at my disposal to support my clients on their journey.

Language: English

My populations of focus are LGBTQIA+ folks, BIPOC folks, couples (mono, poly, or ENM), Sex workers, and neurodiverse individuals

I work with individuals, couples, and families who are struggling to thrive. I specialize in working with poly/kink/lgbtq and non-traditional populations. I deliver services in English and provide service on a sliding-scale fee schedule. I service clients in-person in the greater Sacramento area, and anywhere in California via confidential videoconferencing.

Have you been feeling lost in life? Do you struggle with the weight of past experiences, the complexity of navigating your identity, or the stress of an overactive mind? As a queer, non-binary clinical social worker with an expansive range of lived and professional experience, I understand the unique challenges faced by LGBTQIA2S+ and neurodivergent folx in a world that often misunderstands us. Your needs, values, and goals are of upmost importance, and I will compassionately support you in bringing them into alignment with your authentic self.

My approach is trauma-informed, transdiagnostic, person-centered, strengths-based, and rooted in evidence-based third-wave CBT modalities such as ACT, DBT, and MCT. Mental health issues are multidimensional and unique to the individual. Through inquisitive collaboration, we will identify and address your unique needs according to your values and goals.

I see you, and I hear you. If you’re facing challenges with connecting to those who truly understand and care about you, having difficulty cultivating love with yourself and others, experiencing self-doubt, or feeling disconnected from your authentic self, I invite you to reach out. Together, we can embark on a journey toward your healing and peace.

You’re having trouble communicating your needs, struggling with a sudden change, or feeling stuck with anxiety or depression—no matter the case, you deserve to take care of yourself. I believe life is a journey full of transitions, twists, and turns. Sometimes these transitions are not what we expect and we’re left feeling anxious, confused, or discouraged. No matter where you find yourself in life, there is a way forward. I believe we’re all doing the best we can and sometimes we need some extra support.

I can help guide couples/individuals through communication issues, self-exploration, identifying/expressing needs, anxiety/depression, OCD, spiritual questioning, and life transitions (breakups, new relationships, job changes, parenting). I affirm all identities and relationships (LGBTQIA+, non-monogamy, kink, etc.) and would love to work with you!

My approach is strength-based, collaborative, and solution-focused. I believe all people are worthy, resilient, and capable of thriving. But sometimes we get stuck. It can be difficult to reach out for help and I appreciate the courage it takes. I’m here to offer you a safe and non-judgemental space for self-discovery and change. Let’s move forward together.

I provide individual, couples, group therapy as well as groups for relationship coaching, which is open to anyone anywhere (can live outside of Oregon), the group is a processing and community building group for people in open/ENM/polyamorous relationships.

I specialize in trauma therapy with people who identify as LGBTQIA+, Neurodivergent folks, ethical non-monogamous relationships, and people working in the mental health field. I utilize an eclectic style to meet the unique needs of each individual. My approach is down to earth, relational and real. People need to feel seen, supported non judgmentally, and affirmed in order to heal.

Areas of Interest: Polyam/kink/SOGI communities, eating disorders. Age Range of Clients: 10 years old and up

I am a sex-positive therapist. I work with clients of all genders and relationships of all constellations. I utilize techniques from the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy and Attachment-Focused Therapy. I look forward to working with you!

Therapy is a process. It is a living and breathing evolution in understanding. And self-discovery is both the journey and the destination.

Curiosity about yourself, and the desire to understand the way your world works, is the jumping-off point. What is your primary way of knowing what you know? What are your defenses and where do they come from? What is your range of emotions and how do they serve you? What drives you, and what holds you back?

Heightening our own awareness of our intentions, our triggers, assumptions we make, and patterns we repeat, gives us a keener sense of our strengths, limitations, and purpose. Change is a constant in the universe-at-large and in our personal sets of circumstances. In asking (and answering) these questions of ourselves, we develop our own unique set of tools to adapt, cope, heal and thrive. (What we are conscious of, we control. What we are unconscious of controls us. - Anonymous)

My areas of special focus include sex workers, alternative sexuality and gender, polyamorous lifestyles, body image, and personal and family relationships. The space we will create together will be one of non-judgment and unconditional understanding. And you will set the direction, pace and boundaries of our conversation.

So, whenever you are ready, come on in. Have a seat. I am looking forward to knowing you.

I practice with a commitment to the dignity of all people. Your personal history is as important as the historical contexts that inform the systems we live in. I carefully calibrate the pace at which we move, and I always prioritize your choice and autonomy in the process of therapy. (Trauma-Informed and Feminist orientation) To support the discovery of new angles, I might ask you to re-imagine your experiences with a new lens. (Narrative Therapy) I believe the past is ripe for insight and I believe in nurturing all of our selves, past present, and future. (Psychodynamic Theory) Life is hard to do alone. I’m on the side of self-love AND I believe our communities and relationships offer a unique opportunity to grow and know ourselves. Every relationship – including the one you and I might start together – is a new lab for healing and exploration, and every relationship holds answers to the mysteries in our selves. (Relational/Attachment Theory)

I work well with clients who want to understand why they’re doing what they do. Whether “single” or “partnered” (all relationships matter, not just the romantic ones), I support all my clients in bridging the gaps between themselves and the people in their lives. I support clients with a wide variety of social identities, relationship formations, and concerns – including: anxiety & depression, symptoms of trauma, identity struggles, existential dilemmas, non-monogamy, and grief. I work with adults – individuals, couples, and friends.

I work from a neurodivergent-affirming, trauma-informed lens to focus on my client’s individual needs and goals. I work with folks of all ages and a variety of concerns, but I primarily work with the LGBTQ+ community and/or those experiencing trauma and dissociative disorders.
