Hello, I’m Jacqueline “Jackie” Tellez, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC) based and licensed in Texas. I am passionate about creating a warm, supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to navigate life’s challenges with confidence and resilience. My background in Clinical Rehabilitation Counseling has shaped my belief that healing and growth happen through compassionate connection, practical tools, and individualized support.I understand how overwhelming life can feel during periods of change, stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, or emotional exhaustion, and I strive to help clients build balance, strengthen coping skills, and reconnect with their inner strengths.My approach is collaborative, goal-oriented, and grounded in evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and strength-based techniques. I am also currently pursuing certification in Women’s Mental Health to further support women through the unique emotional experiences they may face. Above all, I believe in meeting each client where they are and walking alongside them as they move toward healing, growth, and a more fulfilling life.

Hello and welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. My name is Dr. Dieu Truong, and I am a licensed psychologist in Texas. I specialize in autism and neurodevelopmental assessment, with a particular passion for supporting autistic adults, late-identified autistic people, and individuals from culturally and linguistically diverse communities.My work is shaped by both my professional training and my lived experience growing up across cultures, languages, and systems. I was born and raised in Saigon, Vietnam, as a Vietnamese-born Chinese person, or người Việt gốc Hoa (越南華人), and I immigrated with my family to Houston, Texas, during my early teenage years. That experience deeply shaped how I understand identity, communication, belonging, and difference.As a provider, I am passionate about creating an assessment experience where you feel respected, understood, and not judged. I believe that autism assessment is not just about identifying a diagnosis. It can also be a meaningful process of self-understanding, self-compassion, and making sense of your life story with greater clarity. My goal is to partner with you in a way that honors your strengths, your lived experience, and the many parts of who you are. I also hope to help you recognize and celebrate the resilience that has carried you to where you are today.

I don't see myself as the expert in the room — you are.
