ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Harlingen, TX

I am deeply passionate about supporting parents as they navigate the many challenges that can come with raising a family while maintaining healthy, loving relationships with their children. Balancing the constant demands of parenting while also trying to care for your own needs, identity, and well-being can be incredibly exhausting. Many parents find themselves feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or disconnected from the version of themselves they once knew.

What I’ve discovered through my work with parents and families—and through my own experience as a mom of two—is that prioritizing a parent’s mental health is not selfish; it is one of the greatest gifts you can give your child. When parents feel supported, healthy, and emotionally grounded, it creates the foundation for a stronger, more connected, and more rewarding parent-child relationship.

When life feels heavy, uncertain, or harder to manage than usual, it can be incredibly helpful to have a place where you do not have to carry everything alone. I’m Alicia Jackson, a social work provider in Cypress, Texas, and I am committed to offering compassionate, supportive care tailored to the unique needs of each person and family I work with. Many clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, stress, family conflict, life transitions, crisis situations, or the emotional weight of trying to hold everything together. My goal is to create a safe, respectful, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and supported while working through life’s challenges and moving toward greater stability and relief.

Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or worried about your child or family? I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20+ years of experience helping children, parents, and caregivers through big feelings and life changes. As a former elementary school counselor and certified K–12 art teacher, I understand the school, social, and family pressures kids and teens face.

Hello! I have my PhD in Counselor Education and Counseling and my MA in Marriage and Couples Counseling. I have been working as a professional counselor since 2013 and am trained in EMDR, mindfulness practices, and the Emotion-Focused Couples Therapy. I work with individuals experiening anxiety and depression, struggling with life transitions, and have previous trauma impacting their life. I also work with couples.

With over 22 years of experience in social work, I offer a calm, supportive, and practical approach to therapy for teens and adults navigating stress, anxiety, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I believe therapy works best when clients feel genuinely heard, respected, and supported.

Much of my professional background has been in the public school system, where I worked closely with children and adolescents using brief, solution-focused therapy, emotional and practical support, and advocacy. This experience allows me to connect easily with teens while also helping adults—especially parents, caregivers, and professionals—navigate challenges with clarity and confidence.

I earned my Bachelor of Social Work from the University of North Texas and my Master of Social Work from the University of Texas at Arlington. My therapy style is warm, collaborative, and strengths-based, with an emphasis on practical tools, insight-building, and helping clients feel more grounded in their daily lives.

Whether you are a teen feeling overwhelmed by school or social pressures, or an adult managing anxiety, burnout, or life changes, I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where growth feels possible and progress feels attainable!

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I believe meaningful change begins with feeling seen, heard, and supported. I strive to create a comfortable and grounded space where clients can be themselves and move at their own pace. I have experience supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and substance use concerns. I bring warmth, care, and authenticity into the work we do together.
