Meet Jasmine
Dr. Jasmine Gonzalez, DHS, MS, LPC, NCC
Founder, The Affirming Space
Hi, I'm Jasmine... but most people call me Jas.
I am a board certified and licensed professional counselor in Dallas, Texas. I provide online telehealth counseling services throughout the state of Texas and Florida. I entered the counseling field in 2011 supporting the initiative to provide counseling to military service members and their families where I was inspired to join this field. In addition to my doctoral research and clinical practice throughout the years, I have gained extensive experience counseling children, adolescents, adults, and couples in a multitude of different settings including counseling private practice, community mental healthcare, and the government setting. Treating and interacting with people from all walks of life and cultural backgrounds has fueled my passion to work with the many diverse characteristics that my clients bring.
My mission in creating The Affirming Space started as an effort to address the growing need within our local communities to provide easy and accessible care for our diverse millennial clientele. Personally, I identify as a multiethnic woman and I am bilingual in Spanish. I am passionate about working with those who feel they don’t always fit into the “right” categories. I also have personal and professional experience in working with individuals from various cultural backgrounds, the LGBTQ+ community, as well as military veterans. These experiences have allowed me to gain a profound empathy for the human experience and a great respect for the multitude of difficulties that people are facing.
Thanks for stopping by here at TAS! I hope to work with you soon!
