Dedicated to believing in you, and your ability to change, especially on those tough days when it feels impossible.

Let’s be honest—change is messy, complicated and often uncomfortable. But you don’t have to navigate it alone. I’m here to meet you exactly where you are and walk with you through the trenches. One step at a time. One session at a time.

I help individuals and couples who feel stuck in unhealthy patterns they can’t seem to break. Many of the people I work with struggle with anxiety, dealing with conflict, managing and understanding their emotions or triggers, communication difficulties, or the pressure of constantly putting others first. They often feel unheard, misunderstood, or disconnected — both from themselves and from the people they care about.

I also work closely with first-generation individuals who carry unique cultural, family, and identity-related pressures. This includes navigating expectations, learning to honor your own needs, breaking intergenerational patterns, and finding your voice in spaces where speaking up hasn’t always felt safe.

My Story

I’m Jessica! I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist & Supervisor in Texas. I have a Master’s Degree from Our Lady of the Lake University & a Bachelor’s from the University of Houston.

I’m a proud daughter of immigrants and a therapist who represents First- and Second-Generation individuals, people of color, and those breaking generational trauma. We are strong—but even strong people need support. Learning that changed my life, and I’m honored to help others learn it too.

My style is warm, direct, and encouraging. Sessions feel like real conversations where we process, learn, and make meaning together. My goal is to create a space where you feel free to be yourself, grow at your own pace, and reconnect with the badass you already are.

Marriage and Family Therapist Intern, Supervised by Jessica Medina

Hi! I’m Grecia Mascorro, a Marriage and Family Therapist Intern greatly devoted to supporting individuals, couples, young adults, and families through life’s challenges. I am here to offer guidance and understanding during difficult life transitions and assist your process to building, repairing, and maintaining relationships with the people in your life.

I find purpose in helping others recognize the power they have to make meaningful and lasting change in their lives through dedicated support, understanding, and encouragement.

I was born and raised in south Texas and grew up on both sides of the U.S. and Mexico border. I have lived in Houston for about 15 years and graduated from the University of St. Thomas with a B.A. in Psychology and Political Science, prior to pursuing my graduate degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. In addition to my professional commitments, I love spending time with family and friends, traveling, and caring for animals.

Guiding principals

Personalized Approach

Every individual, couple, and family is different. What may work someone may not work for another. Here, a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy doesn’t exist. You’ll receive an individualized experience that takes your values, ideas, and opinions into account. The goal is to truly hear your needs, take them into consideration and use an approach that best works for you.

Strength Based

While getting to know the problem is important, knowing what is working in your life is just as valuable. A strength-based perspective gives us the opportunity to learn what you can do instead of what you can’t. Together we will discover your existing strengths and explore how they can be maximized to your benefit to create the change that you are looking for.

Collaborative

Feeling heard and seen matters here. My goal is for you to have a life changing therapy experience. Your feedback is encouraged along the way to know what works for you and what doesn’t. This helps include you in the process and gauge your progress. The goal is to always work on my approach in any area to continue meeting your therapy needs.

Some frequent FAQs

  • Therapy is a great resource to anyone seeking to improve their well being.  Often people believe that therapy is only for those with serious mental health concerns or people who have reached some kind of rock bottom. But actually, therapy is for all kinds of challenges. Therapy for someone struggling with depression will just look different than therapy for a couple who wants to get a long better. I work a lot with first timers to therapy and I understand how scary it can be to start. If you are still curious if therapy is for you, send us an email!

  • Therapy is an investment and you should work with someone that you connect with. A therapist that understands you, respects your values, and that takes their time to listen to your needs. Initial phone consultations are a great opportunity for you to get a feel of whether or not the connection is there.

  • There’s no single “right” answer — everyone is different, and it truly depends on the situation. Some people come in with one specific goal, while others develop new goals as they progress and achieve their original ones.

    I encourage clients to pay attention to the feeling of “I’ve got this. I’m okay on my own.” That’s often a strong indicator that therapy has served its purpose.

  • That is up to you! I trust my clients to schedule the frequency that best fits their current needs.

    You may want to come in more to deal with a recent challenge or spread out sessions due to the change you are seeing.

    Regardless we will always be in communication about what is feeling right for you.

  • Sessions are available in person and online. You can choose either or, as well as have a combination of both.

  • My office is Houston, TX, located in the Rice Military Neighborhood on the corner of Memorial Dr. and Westcott.
