Jason Franklin, LMFT

Psychotherapist
716 N 22nd St, Ste 115, Ozark, MO
I served my country with honor in the United States Army for five years. Upon reaching a decision point that was best for me and my family, I separated after five years and began a three-year career in the United States Army National Guard. Simultaneously, I took the first job that was offered to me, and it just happened to be as a security officer in a major community hospital. Part of my duties as a security officer were to help people with mental health challenges and addictions from a safety and security standpoint, while my duties in the National Guard as a chaplain's assistant were to exemplify empathy, compassion, and provide for the soldiers' religious needs. The ultimate result of the combination of these two fields was a newfound love for others' mental health challenges and a desire to find new and challenging ways to inspire, encourage, and empower the people I was serving. To assist with this, I began conducting a lot of in-depth conversations with the licensed mental health professionals that I found around me, with a main focus on finding out how they acquired their license and what they do each day with that license. To make a long story short, I went to school and acquired both my Bachelor's degree in Psychology as well as my Master's degree in Counseling with an emphasis on Marriage, Family, and Child Therapy. I also interned in some very exciting and engaging locations with wonderful supervisors who helped me to reach my ultimate goal: that I am now a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and soon to be a Licensed Professional Counselor. Throughout my career of now 13-plus years, I have worked with a plethora of diverse populations, client types, and cultures. My specialties so far have been in premarital and marriage counseling, trauma recovery, and addiction recovery. I have endeavored to expand my knowledge and expertise by attaining certifications in Wellness Recovery Action Plan, Nurturing Parenting, Abusive, Traumatic, and Emotionally Destructive Marriages (ATEM), and I am currently striving for mastery in Symbolic Modeling. When I am not trying to help people, I enjoy spending time with my beautiful wife of 16 years and my two boys. You can usually find me reading my Bible, studying some form of therapy curricula or textbook, enjoying 18 holes on a disc golf course, or playing a video game with my children.
