Jocelyn Eve Counseling is a therapy and consulting practice that aspires to create accessible and inclusive healing spaces for individuals and communities using an anti-racist lens. Our vision is that in these re-imagined spaces we will explore our curiosity about healing as individuals and communities. It is our belief this approach is as much about hope and possibility as it is about honoring our pain. We hope to understand how we got here, how to create and advocate for change, and how to imagine a more equitable future.
A commitment to clients: We will explore and honor all of the pieces of who you are; each part of your identity (race, culture, gender, sexual orientation, ability, and more) impacts how you experience the world and how the world responds to you. We will seek opportunities to better understand systemic barriers to wellness, including how White Supremacy culture and privilege can show up in the therapeutic space, and ways to integrate anti-racist practice and policy in all that we do.
A commitment to community: We will operationalize the "social justice" principle of social work by challenging injustices in our communities as advocates, allies, and accomplices in the fight against oppression and inequality.

Jocelyn has worked with my son these past two months and we’ve seen a big difference in his job search. In fact, in addition to the JCC job he now works part-time for a lighting/media production company, too. They hired him to work at SXSW. I have given Jocelyn’s name to two of my friends whose children need a little help looking for work. One is a girl in high school who is trying to find her first job and the other a 23 year old young man who will graduate from college soon. I’m very impressed by Jocelyn’s work.
At the beginning of the pandemic, Jocelyn led the way to create and grow a highly successful virtual meditation community.

Jocelyn offers unconditional love and support to her clients. She was instrumental in helping me in my healing journey and I am grateful for her expert guidance. I most appreciate how Jocelyn met me wherever I was. She was able to provide whatever I needed - encouragement, information, ideas, or simply being seen and heard. I was in my 50s before I discovered that trauma recovery even existed and I wondered if it was worth it at that age. Now, I believe it is never too late to heal, and at 57 I am enjoying my life more than ever before.

Jocelyn is a guiding light in the dark for many young women like myself who are seeking mentorship as they development their personal, academic, professional, and spiritual visions and goals. Her extremely warm, personable, meet-you-where-you're-at nature and down-to-earth approach to life nevertheless parallels her encouragement to set your objectives high and gain a spiritual sense of your life's purpose.
The local TV station and newspapers were eager to report about teen sexuality and interviewed Jocelyn both before and after the Sex in the Suburbs event. Jocelyn spoke to 140 parents/professionals, it was her name and comments that were on everyone’s lips as they were filing out of the venue. They were just wowed.
