About Jessica Wansley

Today is a gift. Living fully in Today is blocked for many people by their yesterday and tomorrows. Many people reading this will probably be asking themselves about the usefulness of therapy. I am a therapist, licensed as a clinical social worker in TN, who seriously enjoys partnering with people for change and to live fully with their TODAY’S. I have worked in mental health for over 22 years, within the U.S. as well as abroad. My counseling style is interactive and authentic. I believe in treating others with respect, compassion, and truth. I recognize that labels do not always help. I appreciate that each individual is made up of complex parts that work together, including mind, body, soul, and spirit. My approach to therapy utilizes combines cognitive-behavioral, client-centered, rational emotive, and structural family therapies. You will find that our dialog and treatment plan are tailored to meet your unique needs and specific goals.

It takes courage to step out of the familiar toward the changes you want to see. As you consider taking those steps now–the ones leading to greater wellness and a fulfilling life–I am eager to support you.

I look forward to working with you.

“I appreciate the way Jessica listens & offers me direction as I work through my trauma.”

“Jessica has been great. She gave both of us many tools to use to help communicate with each other. We both felt she was fair at looking at things for us and never felt like she was taking sides. That was very important!”

“We are loving our current work with Jessica. I feel in just a few visits we are already making positive progress in our relationship!”

“We left regain after success and then came back when we needed it. We were able to connect with our counselor within a week. It was amazing. We have tried getting local counseling and three months later still have not found anyone. Regain for the win.”

“Jessica is exactly what you want in a therapist. She really helps you think and get your point across to your partner in a respectful way. She makes it easy to open up to her.”

“My time with Jessica has been truly life changing! As a new mom, I was struggling emotionally with returning to work and juggling all of my responsibilities. Jessica brought clarity to my life and is helping me process through buried trauma/issues I’ve had since childhood. I’m so thankful for her and BetterHelp, which allowed this busy mom to have the ability to seek help.”

“Jessica is amazing and very good at listening and allow me to express my feelings without judgement.”

“I airways feel comfortable telling with Jessica. She knows how best to communicate with myself as well as my husband.”

“I love how well she understands my husband expressing his concerns as well as my own. She has been able to help us to understand each other better. We are learning to work through our miscommunication rather than argue.”

“Great job and always checks in. This is a great service!”

“Jessica has been a good match for me. She challenged my thinking with insightful questions, helped me to grow with resources, supported me in making decisions that were seemed risky at first but turned out to be extremely helpful. Her guidance is gentle and kind, reflective of the loving person she is. <br /> <br /> I had requested a counselor who would incorporate Christian faith into our sessions. Jessica has been very respectful of my beliefs and offered just the right mix of faith and counseling for me. With Jessica's help, I found peace with myself and acceptance of all the things around my life.”

“Jessica does a really amazing job of helping my partner and I understand each other better, and allows space for us both to be heard and understood. I feel that she is kind and patient, and open to meeting us where we are at any given appointment. I really appreciate her exercises that continue to help push us to grow in emotional intimacy, and she has a great balance that any therapist needs of push and support to really help us grow. I truly don't think my partner and I could grow as much as we did in a short amount of time without her, and I'm very hopeful and excited to continue to see where our work leads us.”

“Jessica has been thought provoking and has allowed me the space to unpack and then to challenge me in the process of unpacking. She has begun to help me to see myself as an individual rather then being identified by my role, i.e.: husband, father, employee, by my likes and interests, etc., etc., etc......”

“Jessica has really been able to get me to a place mentally that I have not been able to get to with any other counsellor /therapist. I am SO grateful I found her and I am so excited for the progress I have made with her so far.”
