About Jessica
Hi! Thank you for taking time to read my profile. I am a licensed psychotherapist with 16+ years of clinical experience. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a trained Gottman therapist. I graduated from Austin College in 1999 with a BA in Psychology and a minor in Spanish. I followed my passion to work with people to discover their best selves by completing my MSW from University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work in 2006. I have worked in several clinical settings including schools, hospitals, and private practice. Currently, my time is spent between my private practice and Menninger Clinic in Houston, TX. I have experience in counseling couples, individuals (adults and children) and families. I have received specialized training in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), executive function training, and Gottman training for couples work. My hope is to help you achieve your goals by providing a safe, authentic, and compassionate clinical setting with an individualized therapy experience.
All the best,
Jessica Carnesi Peterson, LCSW
