Jason Herr
Psychologist, Psy.D.
My approach to therapy is grounded in the belief that meaningful change begins with understanding—of ourselves, our patterns, and the biological and emotional systems that shape how we experience the world. I work with individuals, couples, and families across a wide range of concerns, integrating clinical experience, psychological insight, and education about how the brain and nervous system function under stress, trauma, and emotional strain.
Throughout my career in community mental health, private practice, medical settings, and teaching, I have worked with people facing complex emotional and relational challenges. These experiences have shaped a practical, compassionate, and direct style that focuses on helping clients understand why they feel and react the way they do, while developing concrete skills for change. I believe therapy is not only about symptom relief but about increasing self-awareness, emotional regulation, and the ability to navigate life with greater clarity and intention.
My work often includes helping clients understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, and physiological responses. By learning how to regulate the nervous system and tolerate uncertainty, individuals can respond more thoughtfully rather than react automatically. I aim to create a collaborative and respectful therapeutic environment where clients feel safe to explore difficult experiences, retell their stories when needed, and move toward a stronger sense of stability and self-understanding.
Therapy is a process of growth, accountability, and compassion. Whether someone is navigating anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions, my goal is to help them build insight, resilience, and a more grounded sense of who they are and how they want to live.

Kate Koslowsky
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I help adults navigate uncertainty, stress, and life transitions while developing a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships. Many people seek therapy during periods of change, such as after graduating from college, entering or leaving relationships, growing their families, or adjusting to new roles. My practice often centers on anxiety, relationship concerns, and the complex challenges and rewards of parenthood, including the perinatal period.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW, CMNCS
Does setting boundaries feel uncomfortable or even unsafe? Do you find yourself overthinking, people-pleasing, or striving for perfection while quietly feeling exhausted? I specialize in helping women and helping professionals break free from burnout and reclaim their time, energy, and sense of self. Using evidence-based approaches like CBT and REBT, I offer a supportive space where real, practical change happens.

Radu Pop
Psychologist, Psychologist, PhD
I help adults and adolescents who are dealing with depression, anxiety, life stressors, chronic illness, and relationship concerns. Living with mental health symptoms impacts everything one does in daily life. Sometimes the result might be irritability and sadness, while at other times things can feel overwhelming and anxiety inducing. With specialized training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), health psychology and mood issues, I help clients identify their unique needs and establish achievable goals.
While at SMU, I have honed an approach grounded in clinical experience and academic training, which helps clients navigate relational challenges, identity development, and emotional issues. Drawing primarily from Experiential Therapy and integrating systemic approaches, I emphasize emotional expression, connection, and communication to support clients in exploring their personal growth while building healthier relationships.
I am currently a pre-licensed professional and I work under the supervision of Dr. Robert Kinney (Texas #37176).
