I am Jonathan Serrano, a Licensed Professional Counselor with four years of experience. Born and raised in Houston, I am proud of my Mexican heritage and the values instilled in me through my culture and upbringing. I am passionate about guiding individuals who have taken the important first step of seeking therapy. I specialize in helping clients navigate challenges that may feel overwhelming by creating a safe, supportive, and understanding space. My goal is to walk alongside clients as they rediscover strength, hope, and motivation to move forward.
I hold a Master’s in Counseling from the University of Houston. My approach integrates evidence-based practices tailored to each person’s unique experiences. I believe therapy should feel collaborative and empowering, helping clients uncover resilience and build tools for lasting growth.
Whatever obstacles you face, there is always a way forward. Hope may sometimes feel out of reach, but together we can find it again. I invite you to take this journey with me so we can work toward building a life filled with purpose, balance, and renewed strength.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

My go-to approach for helping kids in child therapy is creative art therapy. I find the best technique for engaging the client is crafting activities because it gives them an outlet other than speaking if they feel unable to at first.
I teach the following tools in therapy:
I know a child is making meaningful progress in child therapy when the parents notice a change in behavior and the child is able to speak more openly to me.
Clients can supplement their time in child therapy by focusing on keeping a behavioral chart and monitoring their child’s progress outside of therapy.
To prepare for their first child therapy session, a child can talk to their parents about what the experience might feel like so they won’t be so scared.
Child therapy, also known as counseling for kids, helps young individuals better understand and manage the challenges that affect their mental health. Common challenges amongst kids include behavioral issues, trauma, bullying, depression, and anxiety. All ages of children can attend and benefit from child therapy at Thriveworks Pearland.
Child therapy works by using multiple techniques tailored to fit the child’s needs based on their age group, their challenges, and the severity of their challenges. It might involve play therapy for younger kids or cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, art therapy, and others for varying ages. In any case, Thriveworks child therapists in Pearland, TX have the expertise and experience to help kids at their level.
Child therapy is a type of therapy meant for clients within a specific age group, while play therapy is an approach to therapy that helps children with self-expression and stress relief, among others. Play therapy is a technique that is often used in child therapy to help children express what’s running through their minds when they do not have the words to express their thoughts and emotions. It can get children to express what’s wrong, what might be causing unwanted behaviors, or what they might need in a way that is accessible to them so that therapists can then work to treat the issue.
It’s not always obvious when a child should see a therapist for their behavior, though in the midst of challenges like divorce, loss, bullying, and other mental health conditions, it’s often a good idea to seek it out. Common behaviors that can indicate a need for child therapy include separation anxiety, bedwetting (at inappropriate ages), and agitation/excessive irritability — especially if it reaches a point of physical violence.
Cognitive behavioral therapy at Thriveworks in Pearland, TX is one of the best types of therapy for children. However, it can be administered in child therapy sessions in a variety of ways that are more accessible to young minds, such as play therapy.
Child therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of child therapy depends on your child’s needs as well as the goals that you and their therapist might have for them. Generally, child therapy sessions will last for several months.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
