Who We Are

Jeff Gould

CIP/Founder

Labor of Love’s founder, Jeff Gould CIP/LCDC-I/BHCC is a seasoned interventionist within the field of behavioral health with hundreds of successful interventions to his credit. Jeff utilizes a Storti model style approach with a unique and accommodating style of communication- meeting the family where they are at in their time of need.

Jeff grew up in Tucson Arizona where he suffered a crippling and life altering head injury at the age of 13. Turning to substance abuse for relief, Jeff would descend ultimately into homelessness and despair which he has thoughtfully outlined in his memoir ‘A Life Concussed’. Having found recovery at the age of thirty, Jeff would go on to work in grant-driven facilities, serving the most marginalized of persons seeking mental health and detox services. He would later go on to become a Special Projects Manager in a long-term adolescent program; it was during this time he became trained to be an intervening professional.

In 2015, Jeff Gould relocated to Dallas Texas where he became Chief Operations officer of a higher acuity men’s extended care program, while doing consultation for a number of other programs in the area. Jeff then started Labor of Love - an intensive intervention family-based model, with a sub-specialty of doing concierge coaching work with those who have suffered brain injuries. His strong ethics for research and combining the principles of integrative medicine have helped him find ways to utilize successful methodology with those he coaches. He lives with his wife Hilary in North Dallas and enjoys fishing and hockey.

Rebecca Hogg

Director, Clinical Services

Inspired by growing up near the coast in both California and Florida, as well as traveling the globe, Rebecca developed a passion for taking photos of the natural beauty around her. She challenges herself with adventurous and calculated risk activities such as skydiving and parasailing. Initially drawn to law, Rebecca received her Bachelor of Science from the University of Central Florida and worked for dynamic legal teams before deciding to be involved in education and then counseling. She continued her own education by earning a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Liberty University. She is now a Registered Play Therapist and has extensive experience working with children who have had to overcome trauma, challenges, and social concerns. She also takes initiative as demonstrated in the training video she co-created for other therapists about how to do EMDR via telehealth which has been recognized by EMDRIA.

Rebecca has always been drawn to things that inspire people, which shines through in her practice. In recent years, she has found her niche of working with families affected by addiction and has developed a passion for helping those who have spent so much time caring for others. Rebecca is a bright, shining light who oversees all clinical services provided by Labor of Love to the families we serve. In her spare time, Rebecca enjoys exploring old and new places as well as sharing laughs and games with family and friends.
