Our Team

Bridget Jowid

MS, OT*, LMFT-S, LPC, NCC

Sometimes the journeys we are on require us to pause, seek support, and discover a greater understanding and awareness of ourselves, our families, and our community. We are presented with the challenge to make meaning out of our life situations and discover or create new options. I believe counseling allows us to better understand ourselves so we can recognize and identify new possibilities and options that promote a healthier and happier life.

 

 

Prior to becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I had over fifteen years of experience working with individuals and families who have experienced trauma and disability. I understand how life challenges can impact an individual, a couple, and a family’s journey.

 

 

I respect, value, and work with the variations of human experiences across the life span.  I work with adolescents and adults.  I specialize in relational challenges and counsel individuals, couples or the entire family system. My specialty skills include working with trauma, anxiety, depression, and relational disturbances.  I am certified in EMDR® (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing); an advanced trainer in Neuroptimal® Neurofeedback, a Senior Trainer for Safe Conversations®, a facilitator and professional trainer for Prepare/Enrich® and trained in Emotion-Focused Therapy.

 

 

Let me help you strengthen your relationships with yourself and others and find hope again.

About Me
People often say they want to make changes in their life but find the change process to
be more difficult and complicated than anticipated. The therapeutic relationship is a
unique collaboration that helps you to learn about yourself though insight (cognitive/”a-
ha!”) and awareness (somatic/experiential). When you begin to know yourself -and to
accept yourself – change can happen.

 

 

Research indicates that the relationship between the client and the therapist is the most
significant predictor of successful outcomes in therapy. Accordingly, I prioritize attending
to the quality of our therapeutic relationship as I draw heavily from evidence-based
treatments that are attachment-focused, emotion-focused, trauma-informed, and
attentive to political and systemic dynamics. More specifically, I have training in
Emotionally Focused Therapy for Individuals and Couples, Gottman Method for
Couples, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Somatic Experiencing. These
evidence-based modalities, when experienced within the container of our therapeutic
relationship, strengthen and empower people facing challenges that arise from life
transitions, loss, grief, abuse, trauma, as well as the cumulative toll of our modern
existence.

 

 

Education, Training, and Relevant Experience
I hold a MS in clinical mental health counseling from Tarleton State University, a
member of the Texas A&M University system, and a MS and BS in education from
Baylor University where my academic focus was community wellness and public health
promotion. In addition to my work in psychotherapy, I was an adjunct faculty member for
Baylor University’s Department of Public Health from 2001-2022. During this time, I
taught courses that focused on the human condition in all its complexity like Stress
Management, Health and Human Behavior, Human Diseases, Epidemiology, and
Human Sexuality.

 

It’s been said that I was on the road to becoming a therapist before I knew it, and I can’t
disagree! I am deeply satisfied to participate in my clients’ change process, and I
welcome any further questions you have about me or my practice.
My professional resources and skills are not limited to the counseling room and the
classroom. I enjoy opportunities to engage the community, and I am happy to adapt
academic presentations to fit your group’s needs.

Lucy Keith

Master's Level Intern

Lucy Keith is currently a Master’s Level Intern completing her graduate Degree in Counseling from Southern Methodist University. She holds a Degree in Public Relations from The University of Texas in Austin, where she was also a student-athlete lettering four years on Women’s Varsity Soccer Team. Her formal counseling education, clinical experience, and a decade of developing transferable skills in another client service industry has prepared her to counsel adults, adolescents, couples, families, and groups.  Lucy is a facilitator for Prepare & Enrich® to support pre engagement, pre marriage, and seasoned couples.  She utilizes other relational tools such as Safe Conversations®.  Lucy is also trained in NeurOptimal® neurofeedback.  

 

Lucy loves working with clients experiencing family and relational conflict, grief and loss, life transitions, anxiety and depression, and women’s issues, including prenatal and post-partum. Lucy also enjoys exploring interpersonal topics with her clients, including self-concept and self- esteem; values and passions; purpose and meaning; emotional regulation; and achieving optimal mental and physical performance.

 

Lucy believes our thoughts, emotions and behaviors make sense within the systems we live in (e.g. family, friendships, romantic relationships, workplace, sports team, teammates). Together, she helps clients explore their struggles in the context of their relationships, increasing self-awareness and awareness of dysfunctional patterns and agreements to begin identifying and incorporating positive changes to promote overall satisfaction, health, and wellbeing. 

 

Lucy cares deeply about people and their unique stories. She cultivates a safe, warm environment for her clients and serves them with acceptance, empathy, curiosity, and appropriate humor so they not only benefit from but enjoy the therapeutic relationship.

they have limiting beliefs that inhibit them from trying to go after their dreams.
Navi is passionate about helping others take control of their lives so they can
have the life they truly desire.

 

Navi believes that a strong therapeutic relationship is essential to the
counseling process. Therefore, she focuses on safety, empathy, authenticity,

alongside you to identify your thinking patterns that are no longer serving you,
challenge negative assumptions, and explore core beliefs to create a new
narrative that aligns with your goals better. Her areas of interests include
anxiety, depression, relational counseling (friends, family, partners, or co-
workers), career counseling, life transitions, bicultural struggles, and self-
esteem issues.  Navi is trilingual in English, Hindi, and Punjabi.

Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, the “No Surprises Act,” health care providers are required to give clients who do not have insurance or who choose not to use their insurance an estimate of the bill for health care items and services. 

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate (GFE) showing costs of items and services you can reasonably expect for your health care needs. The Good Faith Estimate does not include any unknown or unexpected costs that may arise during treatment. 

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you may dispute the bill. 

  • You may contact the health care provider listed to let them know the billed charges are higher than the GFE. You may ask them to update the bill to match the GFE, negotiate the bill, or ask if financial assistance is available. 
  • You may start a dispute resolution process with the U.S.Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). If you choose to use the dispute resolution process, you must start the dispute process within 120 calendar days of the date on the original bill.
