Getting to know Jennifer Iruegas
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, currently licensed in the state of Texas. I am a native Texan and live in the rural south. I earned my Master's in Social Work from Our Lady of the Lake University. I have a passion for working with children and families. I worked for Child Protective Services for almost a decade and have since worked for various agencies targeting the mental health needs of children and adolescents. I have experience working with the juvenile justice system as both a detention officer and a therapist. I am also familiar with CPS court systems and have worked extensively with victims of abuse and neglect.
I specialize in teen issues, including LGBTQ concerns, anxiety, and depression. I use various techniques alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help youth reframe and unlearn maladaptive coping skills. I teach appropriate ways to cope, including but not limited to goal setting, mindfulness, challenging automatic thoughts, some DBT, and motivational interviewing.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my teenage daughter and 4-year-old son. We love traveling whenever we get the chance. I look forward to providing therapeutic services to you or your loved ones. Let's get to work and create a safe place for growth together.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I will encourage you to take the lead, with guidance as needed. I will give you the tools to challenge negative thinking, and we will address problem areas you identify head on. You can expect practice during session and chances to put new skills to use between sessions. Doing so will help identify what works and what doesn't. I will work to provide you various tools that will be with you forever and can always be used when facing difficult situations, well into the future.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
