Jennifer Coke, Professional Counselor

Jennifer Coke, Professional Counselor I provide treatment for older children, adolescents, and adults who struggle with intense emotions.

I am a licensed professional counselor in Waco, Texas and have made it my mission to help people who struggle with intense emotions that cause them misery in their lives. In our work together using Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), you will learn how to more effectively manage your emotions and modify your reactions to them in order to improve your relationships and functioning. I treat people who have been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, Major Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, and some who don't have a diagnosis at all. In addition to individual counseling, I provide between session coaching by phone, text, or email in order to help my clients use skillful behavior to deal with life's problems in real time. In working with me, you will experience nonjudgmental compassion for your situation and practical skills for managing your life.

An important note: responsibility/ownership ≠ blame.

Blame is rooted in shame. It's reactive, flattens nuance, makes things black & white, and dehumanizes.
It does not help you grow.

Responsibility empowers.
It helps you be present to what is; to remember your innate and inherent goodness as you get curious about your behaviors, feelings, reactions, thoughts, and patterns.

You cannot move forward from places of stuckness if you are not willing to be present to what's in front of you, and to look at how you're contributing to the ongoing pattern.

There are very real reasons that you get stuck in your patterns, and to move out of stuckness often requires allowing yourself to be present to an old feeling so that it can move.
It requires learning a new way of relating to yourself, your feelings, and the story you tell yourself about who you are and who you're allowed to become.

On the journey to becoming, you will need to revisit and rewrite your story many times. You will have to learn new patterns, and, like a baby deer, fumble through them a bit at first.
You will have to learn how to help younger versions of yourself mature with the compassionate guidance and love that were once missing. To help those parts of yourself grow past the limiting beliefs you internalized long ago.

But if you're here and you're reading this message, I know that you believe it's possible.

This is exactly what we're learning to do in the 12 month Cycle Breakers Program. We'll look at old patterns, practice staying present with uncomfortable feelings, and start embodying what it means to trust yourself in every stop toward a life that feels wholly, fully, and deeply connected and well-lived.
Space is limited and price goes up soon!

Not everything in your life will come with clear answers… and that can feel uncomfortable.

We are taught to fix, to solve, to understand everything right away.
So when something remains unanswered, it can feel like something is wrong.

But sometimes, clarity does not come from forcing an answer.
It comes from giving yourself the space to sit with what you feel.

To observe.
To reflect.
To let things unfold in their own time.

You do not need to rush your understanding.
Some of the most important realizations happen quietly, when you allow them to.

Stay consistent.

Sustainable trauma & addiction recovery are about flow, not force. Force is what injured us. Flow is how we reclaim & nurture true emotional & physical strength that will sustain us beyond any temporary exertion of force.

When in doubt, try softer, not harder.

Your destiny is always expansion. On all levels. In all dimensions. Keep going.

So there were times in the past we didn't, or didn't know now to, show up for our "parts" & inner child. We can't change that.

What we CAN do is show up for them today. What we CAN do is not waste another day, another minute, denying or disowning them.
