Jeffrey Murrah, LPC

Jeffrey Murrah is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 41 years of clinical experience helping individuals and families navigate difficult seasons of life. He often hears clients say "You make me think!" after guiding them toward new perspectives and practical ways to manage their challenges. His career has spanned many settings, including in-patient hospitals, halfway houses, homeless shelters, school counseling offices, college classrooms, church counseling, foster care homes, and outpatient clinics, giving him a wide-ranging understanding of the issues people face.

Raised in a blended family, he draws on personal experience when working with blended-family dynamics and the tensions they can bring. He has been married for over 35 years and is the father of three sons who were homeschooled. He has also provided care for a parent with dementia, which informs his work with caregivers and family stress. Those personal and professional experiences shape a practical, empathetic approach to therapy.

Clinically, he integrates psychodynamic methods with cognitive behavioral therapy, along with client-centered and solution-focused techniques, tailoring his approach to each person he works with. He assists clients with a broad range of concerns including addictions, relationship and family problems, intimacy issues, parenting, stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep difficulties, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, bipolar disorder, depression, coping with life changes, coaching, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. He also addresses more specific areas such as blended family issues, caregiver stress, communication problems, drug and alcohol addiction, family of origin conflicts, forgiveness, infidelity, and process addictions like pornography, exercise, and gambling.

Jeffrey holds the LPC credential - a state license to practice as a professional counselor - listed as TX LPC 11573. He is also a Certified Mental Health & Nutrition Clinical Specialist (CMNCS), a credential that reflects combined training in mental health and nutritional considerations, and he is Farm Response Certified. He aims to create a supportive environment where clients are heard, understood, and helped to identify strengths that support recovery and goal attainment.
