Houston’s Leading Black Therapist

Jarveron Thomas

Now Accepting NEW Clients
Black Therapist in Houston

My name is Jarveron Thomas, and I am an LPC-Associate, supervised by Rena Strope, PhD, LPC-S. I earned a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Houston – Victoria and was also the Honor Graduate for the College of Education. I have interned at both the UHV- Katy Campus Counseling Clinic and Katy Christian Ministries where I had clients ranging in age from 8 to 60+ years old. I feel that connection is key, and I connect to my clients and develop a therapeutic relationship rather quickly. Understanding your point of view in an effort to assist with unraveling things is my highest priority. I use a combination of therapeutic treatment methods and techniques such as person-centered, cognitive behavioral and narrative where applicable to assist in our work together. Prior to being an LPC-Associate, I earned my bachelor’s degree from the University of Houston-Victoria in the Spring of 2018. I am a U.S. Navy Veteran where I served as a Hospital Corpsman. During this time is when I received a large amount of my medical experience. I have also worked in corporate America for many years. The combination of working in these two very different environments has greatly enriched and added to my life experiences. As a black man, I understand the apprehension and stigma that comes with seeking out assistance relating to mental health which is one of the main reasons I chose this career. We all have challenging times in life, and it would be my pleasure to be a part of your journey. As your counselor, I bring a sense of ease and a reduction in anxiety to this process. I will be present with you and provide a safe space where we can discuss your thoughts and feelings. I can help with issues like depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, or having trouble with relationships, just to name a few. Or maybe a big change has occurred in your life, you are feeling stuck or at a crossroad. If mental health and wellness is your goal, I can assist with that too. I connect very well with clients of all ages, especially adolescents, teens and adult males. A little bit about me:

Most people call me Jay.
I was born and raised in New Orleans, LA and lived there before joining the military and for a short time before Hurricane Katrina. In my free time I enjoy most things related to Marvel, DC, Disney, and Harry Potter, going to the movies, spending time with family and friends, reading, and working out.

“When you are on a mission to change or simply feel better, someone to talk to, a plan, and some tools to get you there can make things a bit easier. You already took the first step, now let’s meet and work
together toward a positive change!”
