Internal Family Systems
Jessica Hope Murph
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT-S
I’m Jess, MS, LMFT-S, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Supervisor committed to making therapy a real, human experience. I know what it’s like to feel unheard, judged, and let down by the mental health system—and I also know the profound impact of a therapist who truly listens, sees you, and helps you heal. My mission is to create that space for others, where they feel safe, valued, and supported.
My therapeutic approach is eclectic and person-centered, rooted in respect, inclusivity, and integrity. I believe in meeting my clients where they are, honoring their unique experiences, and holding space for whatever they need that day. I laugh, I cuss, and I show up as my authentic self—a highly trained professional, but first and foremost, a human. Therapy should feel like a space where you can be real, explore difficult emotions, and work through the things you’d rather avoid. This is your time, and I work for you.
I specialize in working with queer and neurodivergent individuals (ADHD, ASD), trauma survivors, couples seeking deeper intimacy, survivors of abuse, and those healing their relationship with food and body image. I am kink- and sex-positive, affirming of polycules and ethical non-monogamy, and committed to fostering a safe, judgment-free space where all identities, expressions, and relationships are respected.
I offer online therapy across Texas from my home in the Rio Grande Valley, near the Mexico border. Outside of therapy, I love gaming, animals, gardening, and cooking. I’m a total geek and proudly neurospicy (ADHD). I’m also passionate about public speaking at universities, organizations, and schools on a range of topics—from parenting and attachment styles to kink, BDSM, and ethical non-monogamy in clinical practice.
I am queer, cis, white, able-bodied, and privileged, and I work to remain aware of the spaces I take up. I believe in loving myself well and teaching others to embrace their needs without guilt. Setting boundaries, prioritizing mental health, and building self-worth are all acts of self-care that I encourage in my clients.
I hold a Master of Science in Marriage & Family Therapy and Counseling from Capella University and a degree in Psychology and Behavioral Sciences with a minor in Biology from the University of Texas-Pan American. In addition to being an LMFT-S, I have specialized training in trauma and a variety of addictions.
If you’re looking for a therapist who brings warmth, honesty, and expertise while keeping therapy real—let’s connect.

Phillip Thomas Stepka, PsyD.
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Despite being a good listener, I don't see myself as a "talk" therapist. I am interested in how you, your nervous system, and the environment are getting along with each other. We will DO things in our work just as much as talk and reflect. I provide ways to reduce overwhelming emotions that impact effectiveness, break unhelpful reactions/patterns, and enhance internal resources for navigating the world as it is. My personal style is a combination of a little irreverent spice and humor while deeply honoring your concerns and goals.
