Getting to know Jerell Pettway

Hi there, I'm Jerell! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I obtained my M.A. in Clinical Psychology, Marriage, and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University and my B.A. in Biblical and Theological Studies from Houston Christian University. I have extensive experience serving individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities, Black and Indigenous People of Color (BIPOC) in high-risk communities, youth and adolescents, and couples interested in strengthening the foundation of their relationships. I use a trauma-informed approach to therapy that intertwines modalities such as CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Christian Counseling. My approach I integrate elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Motivational Interviewing in my sessions. I collaborate with clients to identify and reframe emotional experiences, thought patterns, and behaviors in order to develop strategies that promote healing and improve mental health. As both a licensed therapist and a pastor, I offer Christian counseling when requested, drawing on biblical principles, prayer, and spiritual reflection. I believe that integrating faith with evidence-based practices creates a strong foundation for meaningful growth and transformation. My focus I commonly provide services to adults, adolescents, and couples dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and life transitions or stressors. My passion lies specifically in helping the Black community, individuals in underserved communities, the unhoused, ministry leaders, and young adults reclaim a sense of well-being by helping them find balance in their lives.
