Jessie Wedell (she/her) is passionate about working with individuals and couples from diverse backgrounds and identities who may face unique challenges with those intersections. With a strong foundation in social science, she recognizes the sociocultural influences that impact mental health. She also has an extensive background in dance and yoga and strongly believes in somatic interventions as a form of trauma recovery and to build a healthy connection with ones body. Her goal is to offer a validating space to guide clients through their journeys of healing, helping them reclaim their strength, resilience, and hope for the future.

Her main focus areas include LGBTQ+ issues, interpersonal violence, trauma of all kinds including complex, couples, and grief. Her approach is compassionate, collaborative, and rooted in trauma-informed care. She strives to create a safe, affirming space where clients can explore their experiences, process emotions, and move toward healing and empowerment.

Jessie is currently taking new children, adolescents, and adult clients, couples and families, and is open to all individual and group counseling needs. She loves working with couples and families, including mother/daughter dynamics. Request a free 10 minute consultation today to see if this would be a good fit for you and your needs.
