ABOUT
JoJo Rankin
As the mom of five adopted kids, 10 years of working as a nurse—four of which were spent in
oncology—and a decade of experience as a foster parent, I specialize in many areas that other
therapists may not. This includes Grief & Bereavement, infertility, motherhood, parenting,
Autism, A.D.H.D., adoption, life changes, college students, and anxiety/ stress. Below you will
find a breakdown of the different areas I help with, you can also call me directly at 682-250-
0154, or learn more/schedule a free consultation at JoJoRankin.com.
Grief & Bereavement:
Grief can come in many ways. I help many clients navigate loss after a
death, divorce, infertility, adoption, hospice/ palliative care, retirement and life transitions.
While I have not personally experienced the loss of a spouse or child, my best friend has, and
walking with her through her grief has been one of the most profound experiences of my life.
Over the years, I’ve supported many others who have endured similar losses, and in doing so,
I’ve gained tools and insights to help others heal.
With advanced training in grief and many years as an oncology nurse, I have seen firsthand the
toll that loss takes on the family. My time as a nurse surrounded by loss every day taught me
invaluable lessons about the depth of grief—and, just as importantly, how to walk beside
someone through their pain. These experiences shaped me into the therapist I am today.
Motherhood/Parenting:
As the mom of 5 adopted kids, I know how demanding, wonderful & hard motherhood is.
Regardless of where you are in your journey, I can help you work through the anxiety and
stress, of life and parenting. You matter, and you can do the hard things you are going through
right now.
Infertility:
The battle of infertility is a lonely fight. If you find yourself feeling like you’re “broken” because
you’re not a mom or can’t help but compare your life to everyone else, I can help.
Autism/A.D.H.D.
If you have met one person with autism, you have met one person with autism.” (unknown
author). I love this quote because it is true about both autism & A.D.H.D.. If you have autism or
A.D.H.D., or are parenting a child/ youth with autism or A.D.H.D. I can help. As the mom of
multiple neurodivergent children, I understand both the easy and hard days of helping your
child feel loved. Most parents of neurodivergent children/youth struggle to communicate or
understand their children. This battle does not have to continue in your home.
Marriage Counseling:
Most marriage counselors require the couple to have both individual and marriage counseling. I
help the husband or wife work through the individual grief, betrayal and difficulties often
associated with marriage counseling. I help the individual gain words and confidence needed to
bring to marriage therapy.
College Students:
College can be a difficult transition, with many hardships and pains. I help young people
navigate their challenges while learning life skills.
Regardless of where you are on your life journey, I am here to help you and together we can
walk the path of healing.
