Tawanda Heim-Jones

Greetings to you all. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Trauma therapist based in Texas. I am also a Doctor in Education with a degree in Community Care and Counseling concentrated in Traumatology from Liberty University. I received my Master's Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and a Bachelor's in Human Sciences from Our Lady of the Lake University. And as a member of several professional organizations in the mental health field, I stay up-to-date on the latest research and treatment approaches.

My mission and purpose is to empower individuality and uniqueness by helping people work through past traumas and/or adversities that has interrupted their peace to reclaim their life. If you are looking for a therapist or life coach who will listen effectively to your unique perspectives without judgement and provide an approach tailored to your individual needs, then you have found your match.

I'm a proud New Orleans, LA native born and raised. Going through past personal trauma experiences through adolescence and adulthood has changed my life. I get it. It has motivated me to help and empower others on their journeys through life transitions. It is my belief that experience is the best teacher. From a very young age to becoming a young mother and wife over 27 years ago collectively, nurturing others has always been my norm. With experience working in the medical field, human services, education and behavioral health over the span of 19 years, becoming a therapist with a focus into the functionality of the trauma brain and trauma-informed care was the best choice for my passion. Through various evidence-based treatment modalities, I educate and help clients build on their "'YOU'nique Imperfections" to reclaim their lives and reach desired goals.

A humanistic approach is used to help the client rediscover their personal attributes, worth, and strengths to proclaim the life they prefer.
