About Me

Hi, I'm Tawanda Heim-Jones, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Texas. Helping others has always been my passion. My approach is compassionate, attentive and empathetic, ensuring that you feel heard and supported every step of the way.

 

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 'YOUnique Imperfections' to reclaim their lives and reach desired goals.  

 

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.
