Services I provide:
Jess believes that healing is not just about addressing pain but also about rediscovering wholeness, authenticity, and hope. For children and adolescents, therapy provides a safe space to navigate identity development, emotional regulation, and life transitions. For adults, couples, and families, it’s an opportunity to process trauma, grief, and relational concerns while building healthier coping skills and relationships. Jess’s multicultural, trauma-informed approach empowers clients to explore their stories, heal from the past, and create a more integrated and fulfilling life.

Hi, I’m Jess Rios, LPC, a Licensed Professional Counselor at Roots Psychotherapy in College Station, TX.

I provide compassionate, holistic therapy for adults, couples, and families. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or life transitions, I’m here to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your story, heal from the past, and build a more authentic and fulfilling future.

Your Therapy Experience

Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, but you don’t have to face it alone. I believe therapy is a collaborative journey where you’ll feel seen, heard, and empowered to grow. Whether you’re processing trauma, seeking healthier relationships, or exploring your identity, I tailor each session to your unique needs, guiding you with curiosity, empathy, and expertise.

I often describe the counseling space as a blend of a hospital room, a bedroom, and a tow truck—sometimes it’s about healing deep wounds, other times it’s about exploring intimate truths, and often it’s about getting unstuck. Whatever brings you to therapy, I’m here to walk alongside you with compassion and support.

About Me

I was born in Cuba. I wear many hats and have lots of interests! I enjoy nature, walking, biking, running, traveling and going on lots of adventures. I’m a foodie and a lover of culture. I also enjoy the arts in the form of music, painting, theater and other artistic expressions. I try to stay very active with loved ones, pets, love doing sports, building things, and trying to new things. I enjoy staying connected to myself, continually discovering new aspects of who I am—not being boxed in, but staying wild and true and a student of life. A quote I love is:

“Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it.” - Brené Brown, The Gifts of Imperfection
