About Us

Tharseo

"Thar-say-oh" 

To be brave and have courage, to take heart.

Pursue Your Passions

From music to reading, gardening and beyond, Tharseo Place is here to give residents every opportunity to find and pursue what they love.

Enjoy The Pineywoods

We're located deep in the heart of East Texas with over 10 acres of pine trees and gently rolling terrain. This makes for beautiful scenery and relaxing birdsong!

My name is Jenny Nielsen. I have always had a passion for caring for children and helping others. I grew up serving in the church nursery, babysitting and volunteering. I attended Texas A&M University and graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies. I have 10 years of teaching experience in the classroom and serving as an interventionist. In 2021 I left the traditional classroom and found my true passion was leading a team that cared for teenage girls from difficult places. I hired staff to work daily with the girls, found tutors to assist with the individual education plans, and planned field trips and other educational outings.  I have been certified as an instructor in "Handle with Care" and possess a Food Safety Manager certification. My background in education is not that of a  traditional CEO but my passion for helping these girls has given me new purpose each day. I can't wait to open the doors at Tharseo Place!

About Us

Vision

Tharseo Place exists to create generational healing where today's survivors become tomorrow's providers. 

Mission

Tharseo Place, Inc brings a dual approach to serve survivors of human trafficking. By focusing inward, Tharseo Place  strives for wholistic healing for residents by investing in education, therapy, recreation and opportunities for spiritual growth. By focusing outward, Tharseo Place engages in community awareness activities, trains public servants and others to recognize signs of trafficking and speaks boldly and loudly for the silent. 

History

Tharseo Place is the result of many years of planning, networking and learning about the residential treatment industry. Our board of directors and executive leadership team are excited to bring this dream to reality and equip young women with the tools necessary to navigate the journey ahead.
