Her approach is warm, steady, and collaborative, rooted in deep cultural sensitivity and an understanding that healing unfolds differently for every person.

After spending 10 years working as a personal injury attorney, Jeremiah noticed how difficult it was for his clients, the victims of car crashes, to find treatment for their PTSD, driving anxiety, and post-injury depression. So, he found some very talented mental health counselors and collaborated to start a clinic focused on personal injury conditions and tort-related injuries. He is currently enrolled in his Masters program for mental health counseling and performs office administration tasks like responding to records requests and supporting the clinicians.
Collision Counseling intends to be a resource for both injured clients and their attorneys. Unlike mainstream mental health clinics that focus on health insurance billing, we focus on auto insurance billing and try our best to make sure care is accessible to people who have been in car crashes.
There is a lot of misinformation around auto insurance. Many people hesistate to use the benefits they have been paying for for years for fear that it will somehow negatively effect them. It's our mission to help connect claimants to resources to navigate the civil justice system and claims so they can actually recieve the benefits they are owed. We work with their legal counsel to ensure their conditions and symptoms are properly documented for insurance company review so they can be fairly compensated and recieve the money they deserve for their pain and suffering.
After an injury, it’s common for your body—and your weight—to change. Pain, reduced mobility, sleep disruption, medications, and stress can all make weight gain feel frustrating and out of your control.
If you’ve noticed weight changes after a collision or injury, we can help you explore safe options. Collision Counseling does not prescribe weight-loss medications—but we can screen, educate, and connect you with a trusted, physician-supervised medical weight clinic if appropriate.
GLP-1 medications (often called “GLP-1s”) are prescription medicines that can support weight loss and metabolic health by helping with appetite regulation and slowing stomach emptying, which may reduce hunger and help you feel full sooner.
You may have heard of medications like semaglutide (brand examples include Wegovy/Ozempic) and tirzepatide (brand examples include Zepbound/Mounjaro). These medications are not right for everyone, and they require medical evaluation, dosing, and monitoring by a licensed prescriber.
For clients who want medical evaluation for weight and metabolic concerns, we can connect you with Dr. Crystal Broussard, MD, who is:
Board-certified (Family Medicine / Internal Medicine listed across partner clinic profiles)
Experienced in physician-supervised weight management and long-term lifestyle-based care
Affiliated with clinics offering medical weight management services
Vincent Williams aquired Styles Law and now runs Clifftop Law. Another great resource.
Frank Shin of Carpenter & Zuckerman is another excellent choice of personal injury matters.
