Dr. Jessica Endres, PhD, LPC-S, NCC
TMT Consultant in Training
Jessica's Clinical Foundation
Dr. Jessica Endres (she/her/hers) is a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor in her private practice in Texas called Red Oak Therapy. She provides individual counseling, supervision for LPC-Associates, consultation for working with trauma and dissociative disorders, and training or speaking engagements. The majority of her practice is dedicated to counseling adults who have experienced neglect and sexual, physical, or emotional abuse in childhood and/or adulthood. Most of her clients are working to manage attachment issues, personality disorder symptoms, PTSD, complex PTSD, and dissociative disorders, including Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). She has previous clinical experience in various settings including a psychiatric hospital, local mental health authority, rape crisis center, and domestic violence shelter. Jessica is an accepting and affirming counselor who proudly welcomes all clients just as they are to her practice.
Jessica obtained her masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2017 from Sam Houston State University. While in her last semester, she also completed a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training and integrates various limbs and principles of yoga into her counseling practice to encourage embodiment, the connection to self and emotions, as well as being more present. She has always loved learning and went on to obtain training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing soon after graduating. A few years later, she returned to Sam Houston State University to pursue a doctoral degree in Counselor Education, which she earned in 2022. She became certified in Trauma Model Therapy (TMT) through developing her own independent study class as a part of her doctoral degree. In her research, she focused on the identification and treatment of dissociation and dissociative identity disorder (DID).
Why Jessica Appreciates Trauma Model Therapy (TMT)
Jessica is Trauma Model Therapy's first Consultant in Training! Getting certified in TMT not only validated Jessica's experiences as a clinician working with DID and cPTSD clients who did not fit into standard theories and treatment protocols, but it also provided a new theoretical framework that just CLICKED. In previous experiences working with clients with more severe mental illnesses in addition to trauma, she had felt limited at times with other theories and interventions that did not fully address the impact of trauma. There had always felt like something was missing that TMT was able to clarify. TMT brought together the research on trauma, dissociation, development, as well as specific interventions to help fill the theoretical gaps that she felt when trying to conceptualize treatment for complex trauma clients from other theoretical models. The best part though is how technique friendly TMT is with respect to other interventions to treat trauma. Jessica appreciates and values other approaches and likes how TMT allows for the blending of different approaches while being theoretically sound and consistent. Applying the TMT framework has been a game changer in her practice and becoming a TMT consultant fulfills her desire to participate in professional advocacy for the healing from trauma that she believes every single client out there deserves.
