I take an active and collaborative approach to therapy. We'll talk about what's happening in your life, but we'll also look deeper at the thoughts, emotions, experiences, and patterns that may be keeping you stuck. I'll give you practical tools you can use between sessions while also helping you understand the deeper reasons behind your struggles. The goal isn't temporary relief, it's lasting change. Using approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS), we'll work together to help you better understand yourself, change unhelpful patterns, and heal the parts of you that have been working so hard to protect you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/653c0e9a391eac0f38290b1a/3700d7b2-9bed-4d10-bde9-5cc76ace3c57/IMG_9051.jpeg Home With 20 years of clinical experience, I continue to pursue specialized training so I can provide therapy that goes beyond surface-level symptom management. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/653c0e9a391eac0f38290b1a/1840e407-68f7-49b6-b5e6-4e51de71ad5d/IMG_9044.jpeg Home - I've completed advanced training related to Internal Family Systems (IFS), including training with IFS founder Richard Schwartz, as well as grief-focused training and educational experiences with renowned grief expert David Kessler. My goal is to continually expand the tools I can offer clients so therapy can be personalized to what you need. https://www.jessicaburgesscounseling.com/contact daily 0.75 2026-05-25 https://www.jessicaburgesscounseling.com/instagram-landing-page daily 0.75 2025-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/653c0e9a391eac0f38290b1a/1698434736666-W1ZP7NNI9DU47CXGGVJ5/AdobeStock_301393089.jpeg Instagram Landing Page - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.jessicaburgesscounseling.com/404-page daily 0.75 2025-11-20 https://www.jessicaburgesscounseling.com/info daily 0.75 2026-05-25 https://www.jessicaburgesscounseling.com/about daily 0.75 2026-07-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/653c0e9a391eac0f38290b1a/bd5952c0-e5ae-4d90-a565-04bd841b30e0/IMG_0120.jpeg About - I’m Glad you found me. Reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable. Maybe you've been thinking about it for months. Maybe you're used to taking care of everyone else. Maybe part of you wonders if your problems are “bad enough” to need help. You don't have to wait until you're completely overwhelmed before asking for support. I'm Jessica Burgess, LMSW, and I've spent 20 years working in the mental health field, with a particular focus on women's mental health. My professional journey began in outpatient mental health, where I saw firsthand how stress and trauma can affect our thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationships. That experience shaped the way I practice today. I don't believe therapy should be about simply surviving the next difficult day. I want to help you understand why you respond the way you do, where your patterns come from, and what you can do differently. https://www.jessicaburgesscounseling.com/specialty daily 0.75 2025-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/653c0e9a391eac0f38290b1a/1698434758376-9AJF8PJDYSAQZ3WWRMDY/Ellen+-+Anger+Image.jpg Specialty - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/653c0e9a391eac0f38290b1a/1698434758380-3XRBJZHW4XIXE28L47FR/AdobeStock_323427575+copy+2.jpeg Specialty - You deserve to feel seen and heard A safe space to explore your emotions Nulla vitae elit libero, a pharetra augue.
