As a marriage and family therapist in Plano, Texas, I enjoy working with couples, families and

pride myself in providing a therapeutic environment that is non-judgmental, safe,
inviting, and warm, so that you can feel comfortable working together as a team to help
achieve the goals you wish to accomplish.
Testimonials
“Jacqueline is an absolutely delight to have as a counselor. From the moment my daughter and I met her, we just clicked with her. She is warm and very easy to talk with. My daughter is younger and this is her first time talking to a counselor. She always looks forward to her time with Jacqueline, and asks me when would be her next time with her "friend". I felt my daughter was in the best hands possible and that she cared tremendously about the concerns I had and for the best interest of my daughter. Jacqueline adapts to what is the best way to communicate with my daughter, depending on how or what my daughter was positively reactive to, such as "play therapy" or using "puppets". Jacqueline is absolutely amazing with kids, and honestly I would definitely use her personally for a counselor.”
“I have been going to Jacqueline for several years now and could not have chosen a better counselor! She is kind, caring, funny and very helpful. She helped me through my darkest days to see the sunshine again. She is truly one of a kind.”
"Jackie has been an amazing asset to my healing! Every time I visit her, it feels like I'm talking to my best friend and I instantly feel better just being able to sit on her couch and ramble on about everything in my life. The tools I've learned have aided me in my every day situations and have taught me to communicate and deal with stress much better than I ever have! She's literally a life saver!"
“Your first visit to a new therapist is anxiety provoking and all around uncomfortable. But not with Jackie. She radiates the type of comfort you would get from a long time friend. When our sessions began, my family was in crisis but she was always non-judgmental, held immense compassion for my situation, and shared empathy. However, she stayed realistic enough to keep me grounded and in touch with reality. Jackie is kind, attentive to clients, and has communication skills that most strive for. She uses a solution-orientated approach in achieving goals. Her ability to help you change perspectives makes life’s possibilities open up all around you. She helps you not only accomplish goals but stay accountable for your life and what role you play.”
“I believe counseling with Jacqueline is one of the best tools to use to transform your daily life. She helps you realize your own acceptance and how to process every day situations. You’re not just gaining a life coach in her, you have someone that truly cares & understands.”
"Jackie is a very easy going counselor. It has been so easy to open up and share my life with her. She has helped me find my confidence and my voice in my relationship. She coached me through setting boundaries so that I could feel like my self again. I only wish that I would have come to her sooner. Thank you so much Jackie!"
"Jacqueline Bentley is an amazing therapist. I have been seeing her for almost two years and every session is like we picked up right where we left off. Every time I leave our sessions I feel such a weight lifted off my shoulders and instantly feel 100x's better. She has given great advice and guidance, more importantly she helped me understand certain aspects of my life. I was in a very toxic relationship, Jacqueline helped me discover a much stronger and more confident self that helped me make better life choices. I would highly recommend Jacqueline, her level of professionalism and attentiveness is exceptional.”
