About Me
Jessica Aleman, LCSW-S
Do you ever feel like you’re carrying everyone else’s expectations while your own needs get pushed aside? Maybe anxiety makes every decision feel heavy, or self-doubt keeps you second-guessing yourself. You might be navigating a big life change and wondering if you’ll ever feel steady again.
If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and it’s exactly what I help with.
I work with women and young adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of their next step. Together, we’ll create space to sort through the noise, strengthen your confidence, and help you move forward in a way that actually feels right for you.
You Deserve a Life That Feels Like Your Own
Hello! I’m Jessica
Founder and Therapist at Own Your Story Counseling PLLC
I became a therapist because I know what it’s like to feel weighed down by anxiety and uncertainty, wishing you had the tools to cope but not knowing where to start. Over time, I discovered the power of therapy not only to manage symptoms but to create lasting change.
My path has taken me through community-based care, supporting young adults, and now into private practice where I can offer more personalized, intentional support. I bring warmth, honesty, and compassion to the work I do, while also challenging my clients to see their strengths in new ways.
What You Can Expect
-
Real Growth, Not Just Coping
I don’t just help you manage symptoms. I help you understand the patterns keeping you stuck and develop tools that bring real, lasting change.
-
A Space Where You Can Be Yourself
Therapy with me is judgment-free, supportive, and collaborative. Some days we’ll laugh, and some days we’ll face hard truths—but all of it is part of your growth.
-
Inclusive and Empowering Care
I’m committed to creating a safe and affirming space for women, young adults, and LGBTQIA+ clients. Whoever you are, you’re welcome here exactly as you are.
My Experience and Expertise
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Supervisor (LCSW -S) in Texas (TX License 68247) with years of experience supporting young adults and women facing anxiety, stress, life transitions, and self-esteem challenges. My approach integrates evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, and trauma-informed care, while always tailoring therapy to what works best for you.
My Values
-
Compassion
You deserve to feel seen and supported. I meet you with care, no matter where you are in your journey.
-
Integrity
I’ll always be honest and transparent with you. If I’m not the right fit, I’ll help you find someone who is, because your progress matters most.
-
Empowerment
Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about helping you build confidence and trust in yourself so you can live life on your terms.
For too long, you’ve probably told yourself to just “push through.” But what if you didn’t have to keep doing that? What if therapy could help you finally feel grounded, confident, and free to live in alignment with what matters most to you?
You are not your anxiety. You are not your self-doubt. You are not your past.
You deserve to reflect, restore, and rebuild—and I’d be honored to walk alongside you as you do.
