About Us
Forged in Healing: Your Path to Freedom
At Forged by Fire Counseling, we understand the intense fear, anxiety, and shame that can come from struggling with addiction, betrayal, or relationship trauma. Many of our clients feel trapped, acting against their values and facing the very real possibility of losing what matters most. We are here to provide a safe, compassionate, and confidential space where healing is possible.
Our approach is grounded in evidence-based practices and specialized training. We offer certified sexual addiction counseling (IITAP), EMDR therapy for trauma and PTSD (EMDRIA), and Gottman Method couples therapy, all tailored to address the unique challenges you face. Whether you are dealing with sex or pornography addiction, multiple affairs, depression, anxiety, grief, or loss, we develop a personalized plan to guide you and your partner toward restoration and hope.
We believe that change is possible for everyone willing to take the courageous step toward healing. Every interaction is treated with the utmost dignity, respect, and confidentiality. Our mission is to empower you to break destructive patterns, restore integrity, and cultivate healthy, meaningful relationships—helping you reclaim a life aligned with your values and aspirations.
Meet Jeremy D. Hogg, LPC.
Welcome! My name is Jeremy D. Hogg, LPC, a Licensed Professional Counselor serving clients across the entire state of Texas through telehealth with some availability for in person sessions in Dallas. A proud veteran of the United States Coast Guard, Jeremy brings a foundation of discipline, resilience, and deep respect for service into every therapeutic relationship.
Jeremy's practice is rooted in a holistic, relational approach that bridges the mind and the body. By weaving together cognitive and somatic techniques, he helps clients move beyond simply talking about their struggles to experiencing real, lasting healing at a nervous-system level. His style is engaging, deeply collaborative, and built on genuine connection — because Jeremy believes the therapeutic relationship itself is one of the most powerful agents of change.
What sets Jeremy apart is not just his clinical training — it is his lived experience. He specializes in addiction and trauma not only because of his extensive professional expertise, but because he has walked that road himself. With over 17 years of personal recovery, he brings something no textbook can teach — the deep, unshakeable belief that healing is not only possible, it is within reach. He is not a guide who has read about the journey. He is one who has made it.
Jeremy has a particular passion for working with men and couples, both in individual sessions and group settings. Whether you are a man navigating addiction, trauma, or the quiet weight of modern life, or a couple working to rebuild intimacy and trust after betrayal, Jeremy creates a space that is honest, judgment-free, and built for real transformation.
His clinical credentials reflect a commitment to excellence. Jeremy holds specialized CSAT training in sex and pornography addiction through IITAP, is EMDR-trained through EMDRIA, and is a Level 3 Gottman-trained couples therapist — also specialized training in affair recovery through both IITAP and the Gottman Institute.
Jeremy's life outside the therapy room tells its own remarkable story. A man of relentless curiosity, he has lived across many worlds — working as a retail manager, diesel mechanic, and science teacher before answering his deepest calling as a therapist. He has explored 47 countries, attended a cooking class in the heart of Tuscany, and was so moved by the experience that he auditioned for MasterChef. He is an avid hiker, passionate outdoorsman, live music devotee, lover of theater, dance, and the creative arts — and yes, he makes knives by hand. He also believes wholeheartedly that laughter is medicine. Ask him for a stand-up comedy recommendations; he has never given a bad one.
That same spirit of adventure, reinvention, and full engagement with life is exactly what Jeremy brings into the therapy room.
Jeremy is currently accepting new clients across Texas. Reach out today — you don't have to do it alone.
