My name is Mary Jane Hooper. Thank you for exploring my website. Let me share some information about my approach to therapy to help you in your search for a therapist.

I began my private practice in Fort Worth in 1997. As a therapist, I am interested in helping people break free of self-defeating patterns and to create meaningful lives. Therapy provides a catalyst for change and can occur in many settings:

Individual therapy helps people identify personal strengths which can empower them to attain their life goals. Interactive therapy helps people discover new possibilities for themselves and improve their relationships with others.

Marriage and Family therapy covers issues which are relational in nature. Through a focused, interactive process, couples and families learn to move from rigidly held positions to more flexible ones, allowing everyone to create more meaningful, intimate and healthy relationships.

Group therapy fosters and maintains connection in relationships. Participants learn to listen to each other with empathy and compassion. By reconnecting with others members learn to gain resilience against the effects of shame.

Clinical Hypnosis is used to help people develop the skills and confidence to make good life choices. Anxiety and depression can be managed by developing life skills to cope with stress and adversity.

I am dedicated to helping you find a psychological, emotional, and mental balance to live more fully in your true self.
