Here’s what people are saying about my work:
“I can’t express enough how taking my son to Jarrod Hood has changed our life. Jarrod is the real deal. He has helped us beyond belief-even as a family coping through various things. Jarrod is the perfect combination of relaxed, approachable, funny, compassionate and calm with great communication, sharp assessment skills- kids love him. We trust him and his direction explicitly. We feel blessed to have found him and would recommend him to any child or adolescent for counsel.”
Dallas Mom
“I work with and refer to Jarrod often. Because I only collaborate with those I deeply trust, I can give the highest remarks for Jarrod’s personableness, expertise, and his supportiveness for everyone he works with. He’s also really fun and creative, which is a great attribute to have working with the pediatric population. Clients seek him out from all over the metroplex to make the worthwhile investment of therapy for themselves and/or family. I highly recommend!”
JUSTIN HUGHES, LPC

Whether facing major transitions like divorce, emotional upheaval, or a last attempt before more intensive options (military school, boarding school, failure to launch, major family upheavals), this experience helps families rediscover their path forward—together.

Generally done in a span of a week, we look at Wednesday morning for three hours and Friday mid afternoon for three hours. This is a dynamic experience with very specific directive feedback for those involved.
