North Texas Psychiatry

Welcome to the website of Jerry Lynn Petty Jr., MS, LPC, NCC. As a licensed therapist with expertise in individual, group, and couples counseling, I am dedicated to providing a supportive and non-judgmental environment where individuals can explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
