Below is information about how I help.
Where I work:
I work out of our Georgetown Office or through video counseling sessions.
Who I work with:
Children, Teens, Parents, Adults and Families.
What I help with:
You may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in patterns you can't seem to change. Or maybe you're watching your child struggle and wondering how to help. Whatever brought you here, I'm glad you're here.
I believe healing begins when we feel safe enough to slow down and make sense of what we're carrying. So many of the ways we've learned to cope once served an important purpose. Together, we can better understand those patterns and explore new ways of moving forward.
Maybe you're wondering whether it's anxiety, ADHD, burnout, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or the effects of experiences you've been carrying for years. Maybe you're tired of feeling stuck in the same cycles, overwhelmed by responsibilities, or disconnected from yourself and the people you care about. Or maybe you're a parent questioning whether you're doing enough, feeling discouraged by your child's struggles, and wondering why nothing you've tried seems to work. I can help with:
-
Anxiety, stress, and overwhelm: When your mind won't slow down and life feels harder than it should
-
ADHD: Understanding how your brain works and finding practical ways to navigate daily life
-
Trauma and difficult life experiences: Processing experiences that continue to affect how you think, feel, and relate to others
-
People-pleasing, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and self-doubt: Learning to trust yourself, set boundaries, and let go of unrealistic expectations
-
Relationship and family challenges: Improving communication, navigating conflict, and creating healthier connections
-
Burnout, life transitions, grief, and loss: Finding your footing during seasons of change
-
Adolescents and teens struggling with anxiety, emotional regulation, school stress, friendship challenges, or behavioral concerns: Helping young people better understand themselves during a challenging developmental stage and feel more confident navigating life's ups and downs.

About Me:
I'm Jenn Lugo, Licensed Professional Counselor Associate, supervised by Amy Rodriguez, LPC-S.
Before moving into private practice, I spent 16 years working in schools alongside children, teens, parents, families, and educators. Those years taught me many things, but one lesson that stands out is most people are doing the best they can with the tools, experiences, and support they have.
Like many of my clients, I've learned that life rarely unfolds the way we imagine it will. We all find ways to cope, protect ourselves, and make it through difficult seasons. Sometimes those strategies continue to help us. Sometimes they begin to hold us back.
What I love most about this work is having the opportunity to sit with people as they make sense of their stories. Not because I have all the answers, but because I've seen what can happen when someone feels genuinely heard, understood, and supported while working through life's challenges.
My approach is warm, practical, honest, and conversational. I want therapy to feel like a place where you can show up exactly as you are. No need to have the right words. No need to have everything figured out. Just a space to be human and start wherever you are.
For those who desire it, I'm also happy to incorporate Christian faith into our work in a way that feels natural, compassionate, and never pressured.
Why This Work Matters to Me
Over the years, I've seen how meaningful change in one person's life can ripple into families, friendships, and entire support systems.
When people begin to view themselves with more compassion, communicate differently, heal old wounds, or respond to challenges in healthier ways, those changes rarely stop with them. Relationships become stronger. Families become more connected. Children benefit from the healing taking place within and around them.
That's what keeps me passionate about this work.
Whether you're seeking support for yourself, your child, or your family, I'd love the opportunity to hear your story. My hope is that therapy becomes a place where you feel understood, supported, and encouraged as you move toward the life you want to build.
Finding the right therapist is important. If for any reason I'm not the right fit, I'm always happy to help point you toward someone who may be.
I'm truly honored that you're here. Taking the first step can be daunting, but you don't have to do it alone.
A Few Fun Facts About Me
Outside of the therapy office, I'm pretty easy to please.
A good cup of coffee can solve at least 37% of my problems, and I'll rarely turn down a coffee date with friends. If charcuterie boards or pizza is involved, even better.
I have a slight weakness for seasonal decorations. Okay, my husband would probably describe it as obsessive. If there's a holiday approaching, there's a good chance you'll find me wandering the seasonal aisles at Hobby Lobby convincing myself I absolutely need one more decoration.
I'm a firm believer that hot is better than cold. While most people are looking for air conditioning, you'll often find me cycling, rowing, or lifting weights in a sauna with the heat turned up high enough to make others question my judgment.
When I need to recharge, you'll usually find me in the garden. Digging in the dirt, growing things, and spending time outside has always been my favorite form of therapy. There's something grounding about getting your hands dirty and remembering you're part of something bigger than yourself.
I also love singing in the car as if I'm the headliner of a sold-out concert, spending time in nature, organizing spaces that have been overtaken by chaos, writing, laughing until my face hurts, and sharing time with the people I love most. And yes, ginger snaps are still my favorite treat. Some things just don't need improvement.
My husband and I live in Ding Dong, Texas. Yes, it's a real place. Our home is shared with a collection of rescue animals and a few unexpected visitors. While I have a heart for them all, two of my favorites are Vanderbilt, a vulture my husband helped nurse back to health, and Echo, our special needs dog who navigates life with hearing loss, blindness, and a healthy dose of determination. These days, Vanderbilt occasionally drops by to say hello while we're outside enjoying an evening sunset, and Echo happily meanders through the yard, taking in all the scents the Texas Hill Country has to offer, occasionally becoming grumpy when the rest of the pack decides he's wandered quite far enough. Life around here is rarely boring, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
