Hearts and Minds Counseling
When trauma, grief, addiction, anxiety, or big life changes pile up, you don’t have to carry it alone. At Hearts and Minds Counseling in the greater Fort Worth area, we offer a calm, judgment-free space to slow down, be heard, and find a path forward—together.
Led by Dr. Jessica Erickson, DMFT, LPC-S, LCDC—an Army Veteran and Navy spouse—our collaborative team of licensed clinicians, associates, and master’s-level interns provides trauma-informed care that’s especially welcoming to veterans, service members, and first responders. We blend evidence-based approaches (CBT/DBT-informed, solution-focused, person-centered) with integrative options like animal-assisted therapy and expressive arts, including glass working, to help you rebuild skills, confidence, and connection.
We’ll walk with you at your pace, co-create goals that matter, and practice practical tools you can use between sessions. With affordable, reduced-fee options and immediate availability through our supervised interns, getting compassionate, effective care is simpler than you think.
