I absolutely love Jessica! She is kind and we mesh so well! She listens to me and tells me exactly what she’s thinking. It’s refreshing to have someone be honest with you and not water down responses. I respect that she is truthful with me yet kind and gentle. She is absolutely perfect!

More about Jessica
- 15 years' experience

- LPC
In a culture where seeking therapy is often misunderstood, I emphasize the importance of embracing vulnerability and acknowledging that everyone needs help at some point in their lives. I graduated from Prairie View A&M University with my Bachelor's degree in Psychology in 2009 and my Master's in Counseling in 2011 and have worked in the mental health field for the past 13 years. I specialize in working with a diverse clientele, including children, adults, and couples. My mission is to provide a supportive and nurturing space for those who are ready to embark on the journey to personal growth and mental well-being, helping you or your child find the best version of themselves and live to full potential.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
