About Jonathan
I am Jonathan Serrano, a Licensed Professional Counselor with four years of experience. Born and raised in Houston, I am proud of my Mexican heritage and the values instilled in me through my culture and upbringing. I am passionate about guiding individuals who have taken the important first step of seeking therapy. I specialize in helping clients navigate challenges that may feel overwhelming by creating a safe, supportive, and understanding space. My goal is to walk alongside clients as they rediscover strength, hope, and motivation to move forward.
I hold a Master’s in Counseling from the University of Houston. My approach integrates evidence-based practices tailored to each person’s unique experiences. I believe therapy should feel collaborative and empowering, helping clients uncover resilience and build tools for lasting growth.
Whatever obstacles you face, there is always a way forward. Hope may sometimes feel out of reach, but together we can find it again. I invite you to take this journey with me so we can work toward building a life filled with purpose, balance, and renewed strength.

"I believe that providing great service fosters meaningful and lasting rewards."
