Hi, I'm Jennifer Ramirez and I work with my husband, Jay as the Clinic Director of Autism Family Services of Beaumont LLC and Gen XY Counseling Center.
Born in 1975, I pride myself as being raised in what I believe as the best generation in modern history. Gen-Xers are a breed of their own. We are known for resilience, independence and forward thinking.
Generation X: 1965 to 1980, we are now between the ages of 42 to 57 and bring with us some common stereotypes, like: being the "latch-key kids", or "the MTV generation."
I grew up in a typical middle class American household, which served its purpose for the need for therapy in my life. It helped. My 20's and 30's were brutal, but my 40's have proven to me that there are better ways to deal with life.
I consider myself a down to earth, open minded, Christian-conservative woman. I have experienced: love, divorce, infertility, childbirth, aging / dying parents and lots of other life events that have molded me to who I am now.
I hold a Masters degree in Education Administration and a Masters in Education Counseling Development. I provide therapeutic counseling services for Kids, Teens, Adults, Couples and Families. using Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). I also offer support groups, specialized trainings in schools, daycares, and churches to advocate for individuals with disabilities.
I live in Texas with my husband, Jay and our adorable Morkie, Aubrey and our favorite black cat, Salem! We have 3 adult children who have spread their wings. We can't wait to start the next phase of our life!

My passion for helping others has guided me into the field of counseling. I have served as a Life Skills Teacher, a role that has been both eye-opening and deeply rewarding. This experience has allowed me to support individuals through a variety of challenges while strengthening my commitment to making a meaningful impact in their lives.
