Helping Relationships Thrive with Couples Counseling in Plano, TX
For Individuals and Couples navigating the challenge of broken relationships
In-person in Dallas, TX and online throughout Texas
Welcome to Jonathan Olvera Counseling.
I grew up in the Northwest in the midst of huge forests. I’ve seen the devastation of a forest fire and I remember the terrible fires in Yellowstone National Park that left people wondering what the future would hold for that beloved park.
It was amazing the beauty that blossomed out of that destruction the very next year. When the conditions are right the forest will naturally begin to heal, and I’ve found that humans are created to do the same.
Just like the healing that goes on after a forest fire, I’m now working with individuals and couples who have faced the fire and are struggling to get beyond the ashes and brokenness to a place of healing.

Counseling Specialty Areas
As a Licensed Professional Counselor I’ve been exploring several areas of specialty and have trained in various areas of mental health.
Relationship Healing
It has been said elsewhere. “The quality of your relationships will determine the quality of your life.”
Whether you are an individual isolating from others or struggling with your partner, I believe counseling work done in the area of relationships will improve the quality of your life.
I work with couples and individuals in the areas:
- Broken Communication
- Marriage difficulties
- Sex
- Sexual addiction
- Grief/Loss
- Family conflict
- Other challenges
- Premarital
Trauma and Betrayal Recovery
“Trauma is not what happens to you; it is what happens inside you as a result of what happens to you” Gabor Mate.
I specialize in walking with individuals through the pain of trauma, betrayal, and unresolved wounds. Whether you’ve experienced childhood trauma, infidelity, or a deep sense of loss, I help you process the pain while discovering resilience and healing. Using experiential and attachment-based approaches, I guide clients toward restoration, wholeness, and renewed connection—with themselves, others, and God if faith is part of their journey.
- Childhood trauma (abuse, neglect)
- Religious abuse
- Sexual abuse
- PTSD
- Disasters
Faith, Identity & Life
I support adults navigating seasons of uncertainty, grief, and identity questions. Whether you’re wrestling with faith, relationships, or life direction, I provide a space to process doubts, pain, and hope. My goal is to help you move from confusion to clarity, from isolation to connection, and from feeling stuck to stepping forward with purpose.
If your faith is important to you, it should be an important part of your healing process. Making sense of God’s plan in the middle of difficult times is often a disorienting process and it’s important to not do it alone.
For those who want a faith based perspective my approach integrates evidence based tools with the hope and grounding of Christian faith.
Hope
There is hope.
There is healing.
I’m ready to walk with you on this healing journey. Let’s get started today.
Counseling that brings hope.
Searching for a new way
You’ve been fighting a battle for a long time, but nothing seems to work. You’ve tried what seems like everything but it keeps leaving you in the same place. You may have tried counseling before but only for a couple of sessions and didn’t click. Research does show that your relationship with your counselor is above all else in outcomes. Research also says that some counseling is generally better than no counseling. Don’t be afraid to try a new counselor. I get it, not every counselor is a great fit, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t one for you.
Simply put, you don’t have to do it alone. I might even add, you can’t do it alone.
Undoing Aloneness
Carrying the pain alone is all too often common and a natural reaction. Isolation from others is a tendency many of us have. Our first step is to form a relationship. This begins in our first conversation, where you’ll find a kind and caring voice. You’ll begin to find that with all you’ve gone through, the worst part has been being alone in it. As I follow closely in your story my goal is to give you a sense that you’re not alone anymore. There you will begin to find strength to share hurts and disappointments in a way that releases them and begins to bring healing.
Being Known and Loved
Likely, there are parts of you that have been hidden away because they have been wounded and now are not welcome. You’ll need a trusted companion to access these places of your life to bring them to the light and let them be known.
“To be loved but not known is comforting but superficial. To be known and not loved is our greatest fear. But to be fully known and truly loved is, well, a lot like being loved by God. It is what we need more than anything. It liberates us from pretense, humbles us out of our self-righteousness, and fortifies us for any difficulty life can throw at us.” Timothy Keller.
I love this quote, it brings into light just how vulnerability works. Your vulnerability in the sensitive parts is what can bring you to a place of healing, when it’s met by someone you trust who will return your vulnerability with love and compassion.
Finding healing in the Broken Places
Kintsugi is a Japanese art that takes broken pieces of pottery and mends them together with gold in the seams. This form of art seeks to show the imperfections as they are rather than trying to hide them. The result is a more valuable piece of art.
