About Jodie Gardner

I am licensed professional counselor in Texas and a LPCC in California with experience working with individuals, couples, and families, 12 years of age and older. I am also a licensed chemical dependency counselor (TX) with experience assisting individuals seeking freedom from addiction. I have experience in helping clients with a wide array of mental health alterations including, but not limited to coping with trauma and abuse, grief, chronic pain, insomnia, depression, anxiety, and life transitions. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
