Hi, I’m Jacquelyn

About Me

Welcome to my private practice! Hi, I’m Jacquelyn Morales, LPC-Associate and founder of River of Hope Mental Health Services. I am currently supervised by Dr. Gregory S. Sparrow, Ed.D., LPC-S, and together we are committed to providing quality, compassionate care for individuals navigating life’s most challenging seasons.

My passion for this work comes from my journey. Having experienced the pain of infant loss, miscarriage, divorce, and major life transitions, I understand how isolating and overwhelming these moments can feel. That’s why I’ve dedicated my practice to supporting both men and women through anxiety, depression, and grief. Helping them rediscover hope, strength, and a sense of self along the way.

While my clinical focus includes grief and emotional healing, I also offer personal growth coaching for those seeking guidance in rebuilding their lives, setting healthy boundaries, and stepping into their next chapter with confidence. Whether you’re healing from the past or working toward future goals, you deserve to feel seen, supported, and empowered.

As a proud mental health advocate, I believe that therapy should feel safe, collaborative, and affirming. My goal is to create a space where you can be your most honest self, and begin the process of healing and growth at your own pace.

Walk & Talk Therapy.

I also offer this modality of counseling.

What Is Walk and Talk Therapy?

Walk and Talk Therapy is an alternative to traditional office-based counseling. We meet at a local park (North McAllen) and engage in your session while walking outdoors. This approach combines the therapeutic benefits of nature and movement with meaningful, healing conversations.

How I Offer It:

• Sessions are scheduled like any other therapy session.

• We meet at a mutually agreed-upon local park.

• You choose the pace — whether we walk, pause to sit, or take a moment to breathe deeply under a tree.

• The goal is to support your mental health in a way that feels natural and calming.
